    Evaluation of biological processes performances using different stability indices

    Full text link
    The EU's Circular Economy Policy Package aims to minimize waste production in accordance with the Circular Economy concept. In this respect, organic waste valorization through composting and anaerobic digestion process represents a proven solution for converting biomass in bio-based products with high fertilizing and amendment properties. In order to optimize process' performances and reuse the bio-products, biological stability index evaluation of the final products plays a key role. Several respiration tests are currently used for the determination of biological stability and the need to define homogenized regulations both at national and European level, in order to outline harmonized rules for biological stability determination, is becoming increasingly indispensable. Among these, some approaches measure respirometric activity by estimating oxygen uptake rate (SOUR and DRI test) and by recording the maximum temperature achieved by the biomass during the degradation process (Self-Heating test). Others assess the decomposition degree of organic waste by determining the residual biogas potential production (BMP test). This work aims at evaluating biological stability of different organic matrices such as compost, digestate and mixture of them in order to compare different respirometric techniques and define possible correlations between them and their suitability depending on the substrates analyzed. The results show that among the different stability tests analyzed in this work, there is a good linear correlation that allows to affirm a direct proportionality both between DRI and Self-heating test and BMP and SOUR test. The results suggest that all the respirometric methods considered in this study could be used as indicators of the biological stability degree of an organic substrate and are therefore interchangeable with each other, providing the same value of biological stability degree. Nevertheless, future studies on stability index determination could be carried out in order to confirm the results obtained from this work

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    Full text link
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Achieving descriptive accuracy in explanations via argumentation: The case of probabilistic classifiers

    No full text
    The pursuit of trust in and fairness of AI systems in order to enable human-centric goals has been gathering pace of late, often supported by the use of explanations for the outputs of these systems. Several properties of explanations have been highlighted as critical for achieving trustworthy and fair AI systems, but one that has thus far been overlooked is that of descriptive accuracy (DA), i.e., that the explanation contents are in correspondence with the internal working of the explained system. Indeed, the violation of this core property would lead to the paradoxical situation of systems producing explanations which are not suitably related to how the system actually works: clearly this may hinder user trust. Further, if explanations violate DA then they can be deceitful, resulting in an unfair behavior toward the users. Crucial as the DA property appears to be, it has been somehow overlooked in the XAI literature to date. To address this problem, we consider the questions of formalizing DA and of analyzing its satisfaction by explanation methods. We provide formal definitions of naive, structural and dialectical DA, using the family of probabilistic classifiers as the context for our analysis. We evaluate the satisfaction of our given notions of DA by several explanation methods, amounting to two popular feature-attribution methods from the literature, variants thereof and a novel form of explanation that we propose. We conduct experiments with a varied selection of concrete probabilistic classifiers and highlight the importance, with a user study, of our most demanding notion of dialectical DA, which our novel method satisfies by design and others may violate. We thus demonstrate how DA could be a critical component in achieving trustworthy and fair systems, in line with the principles of human-centric AI
