An oracle approach for interaction neighborhood estimation in random fields

We consider the problem of interaction neighborhood estimation from the partial observation of a finite number of realizations of a random field. We introduce a model selection rule to choose estimators of conditional probabilities among natural candidates. Our main result is an oracle inequality satisfied by the resulting estimator. We use then this selection rule in a two-step procedure to evaluate the interacting neighborhoods. The selection rule selects a small prior set of possible interacting points and a cutting step remove from this prior set the irrelevant points. We also prove that the Ising models satisfy the assumptions of the main theorems, without restrictions on the temperature, on the structure of the interacting graph or on the range of the interactions. It provides therefore a large class of applications for our results. We give a computationally efficient procedure in these models. We finally show the practical efficiency of our approach in a simulation study.

The solvation and electrochemical behaviour of Copper acetylacetonate complexes in ionic liquids

The behavior of copper(II) complexes of pentane-2,4-dione and 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione, [Cu(acac)(2) (1) and [Cu(HFacac)(2)(H2O)] (2), in ionic liquids and molecular organic solvents, was studied by spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The electron paramagnetic resonance characterization (EPR) showed well-resolved spectra in most solvents. In general the EPR spectra of [Cu(acac)(2)] show higher g(z) values and lower hyperfine coupling constants, A(z), in ionic liquids than in organic solvents, in agreement with longer Cu-O bond lengths and higher electron charge in the copper ion in the ionic liquids, suggesting coordination of the ionic liquid anions. For [Cu(HFacac)(2)(H2O)] the opposite was observed suggesting that in ionic liquids there is no coordination of the anions and that the complex is tetrahedrically distorted. The redox properties of the Cu(II) complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) at a Pt electrode (d = 1 mm), in bmimBF(4) and bmimNTf(2) ionic liquids and, for comparative purposes, in neat organic solvents. The neutral copper(II) complexes undergo irreversible reductions to Cu(I) and Cu(0) species in both ILs and common organic solvents (CH2Cl2 or acetonitrile), but, in ILs, they are usually more easier to reduce (less cathodic reduction potential) than in the organic solvents. Moreover, 1 and 2 are easier to reduce in bmimNTf(2) than in bmimBF(4) ionic liquid. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Desenho e desenvolvimento de um Sistema de Informação em Oracle ADF

Um Sistema de Informação consiste num sistema capaz de armazenar, organizar e estruturar dados para ajudar a responder às necessidades das empresas, passando também pela capacidade de resposta às questões diárias das empresas. Assim, um Sistema de Informação pode ser definido como o software que ajuda a organizar e analisar dados, tendo como objetivo fornecer informação útil na altura certa para que possa ser utilizada para a tomada de decisões ou para uma gestão mais eficiente dos diversos fluxos que uma empresa pode conter. Neste sentido, o projeto apresentado centra-se no desenho e construção de um Sistema de Informação capaz de gerir o negócio de uma empresa do setor alimentar, mais propriamente do setor da transformação de carnes. Foi desenvolvido em Oracle ADF, de forma a aproveitar as vantagens inerentes à tecnologia e ao desenvolvimento web. Sendo uma tecnologia relativamente nova no mercado e dominada por poucos, a sua utilização neste momento pode tornar-se uma grande vantagem. Para o desenvolvimento da aplicação foi realizado o levantamento e análise de requisitos, foi criada a base de dados capaz de suportar o funcionamento do software e desenvolvido um sistema de login, capaz de gerir as sessões de cada utilizador. Foi implementado um processo de introdução e edição de informação, nomeadamente o registo de entradas, transformações e saídas. Contemplou-se também uma secção com dados mestre da empresa com a possibilidade de inserção, atualização e/ou remoção. Além disso, foram incorporadas validações em todos os processos que são usados pelos utilizadores, de modo a evitar a existência de dados incoerentes ou duplicados. Relativamente à lógica de negócio, foi embutida na aplicação de forma a permitir consultar a informação de forma clara, rápida e em diversos lugares, reduzindo tempo e tarefas ao colaborador/utilizador, visto que os processos foram automatizados. Com a implementação deste Sistema de Informação, a empresa pode usufruir de um sistema integrado capaz de gerir e controlar todo o seu processo produtivo, reduzindo custos e desperdícios, aumentando a produtividade e eficiência.

A sure house studies on the dynastic promise to David in the books of Samuel

The dissertation studies the texts mentioning or alluding to the dynastic promise to David in the books of Samuel; in the concluding further perspectives it also overviews the occurrences of the promise in the books of Kings; in the appendix, it comments on the "Law of the King" in Deut 17,14-20, the last verse of which may contain an allusion to the Davidic promise. The study engages with recent discussion on the history of the text of 2 Sam 7. In a detailed textual commentary, it treats with all the differences between the main textual witnesses of the chapter, and apart from the evaluation of the individual variants, it attempts to answer the question whether the differences are due exclusively to the process of transmission, or they are of literary character. Special attention is paid to the value of 1 Chr 17 for the reconstruction of the oldest text of 2 Sam 7; the author hopes that the conclusions of this part of the dissertation may prove to be of some importance for a more general study of the reception of Samuel in Chronicles. The subsequent literary analysis of 2 Sam 7 and the other passages referring to the dynastic promise to David leads to two alternative datings of Nathan's oracle and consequently two alternative redactional hypotheses trying to give account of the emergence of the examined passages. In the concluding perspectives, the function of the promise in Samuel is compared with the occurrences of the motif in Kings; this comparison leads to tentative conclusions concerning the development of the relation of the two books.
