Comparing SolidWorks and Creo Software on 3D Modelling
No full textThe main objective of this thesis is to compare CAD programs Creo and SolidWorks. This thesis compares the two modelling tools using modelling a jet engine with Creo and SolidWorks. I had the privilege to learn at different Universities, it gave me the chance to take different CAD program softwares. This situation gave me the chance to ask my self to compare the different Cad softwares that I got the chance to learn at different time at different Universities.
To compare the two softwares, I am going to model Jet engine with Creo software and Gas jet engine with SolidWorks software and my data will be collecting Models. Based on this, I am going to compare the two softwares with the way the file is saved, ease of use, assembling, and Certification.
I did not produce the model I did with different softwares in the HAMK workshops. It is one of the limitations of my thesis.

Dramatist Jean Genet
No full textThis work is focused mainly on Jean Genet´s dramatic works and their basic principles and characteristic features. In the introductory chapter Markéta Machačíková describes some choices the performers had to make when they decided to rehearse Genet´s one-act play The Maids as their bachelor theatre performance. The second chapter concentrates on Jean Genet´s life that vastly influenced his works and on his permanent endeavour for forming his own image. Genet´s conception of theatre, his dramatic works and his place among other playwrights of the theatre of the absurd are discussed in the third chapter. Based on her work on The Maids as translator and as dramaturgist, the author of this work tries to analyse the play and its possibilities of interpretation in the fourth chapter. The last chapter is dedicated to Genet´s position and to the potentialities of his plays within the contemporary Czech theatre
Genet dynamics and its variation among genets of a clonal plant Convallaria keiskei
No full textIn clonal plant populations, a number of genetically identical ramets form a genet. While coexisting ramets potentially perform independently, their behaviours not only depend on ages and sizes but are also constrained by genetic background. In this study, genet dynamics and its variability among neighbouring genets were investigated based on the ramet demography of each genet in Convallaria keiskei. Genet dynamics were first formulated as a matrix model with the two components of clonal growth (clonal reproduction) and survival-transitions between ramet size classes. Then, a statistical estimation of the matrix elements was established using three datasets: aboveground demographic censuses, belowground directional rhizome connections and genetic identification of ramets. Finally, genet growth rates reflecting both the changes of clonal growth and ramet size growth were estimated and compared for fundamental demographic elements among genets. Over three years of aboveground annual censuses of a 28 x 2 m plot, 2021 ramets were identified as belonging to 28 genotypes. Belowground excavation detected 515 clonal fragments. Genet growth rate of three dominant genets varied with medians of 1.13, 1.02 and 1.05; 95% credible intervals of the posterior distributions did not overlap between the genet with the largest median and the others. The variation was caused primarily by differences in clonal growth rather than survival-transitions between size classes. Clonal growth by branching was rarer than at the tips but contributed to the maintenance of the genet. Therefore, both clonal growth frequencies and connecting patterns of ramets caused the variation of genet dynamics and established genets persist for a long time through the positive growth rates, which would contribute to maintain a population. We also conclude that fundamental demographic elements relating to clonal growth traits (the features of individual genets) strongly impact genet dynamics
La première œuvre de Jean Genet
No full textThe author compares two versions of the work which Jean Genet himself entitled «Lettre à Ibis», the word «lettre» pointing to the literary genre through which he wished to express his admiration for Michel Vieuchange’s achievement, i.e. his expedition to the ghost city of Smara. For Genet, Vieuchange is an «artist of genius» and entering Smara was for him the ultimate stage of an «idea» reduced to a pure, quintessential state. The quest for expressivity, the syntactic audacity, the fact that «Lettre à Ibis» begins in prose and ends as free verse are elements showing that, like Vieuchange, Genet was aiming at a form of accomplishment, the creation of a work of art. Given its date (may 1933), «Lettre à Ibis» is the first work that Genet intended for publication.L’autore paragona due stati dell’opera che lo stesso Jean Genet ha intitolato «Lettre à Ibis», titolo in cui il vocabolo “lettera” designa il genere letterario con il quale desiderava esprimere la propria ammirazione nei confronti della prodezza compiuta da Michel Vieuchange nel riconoscere nel 1930 la città fantasma di Smara. Da Genet, Vieuchange è elevato alla dignità di «artista di genio» per il quale l’entrata a Smara fu la conclusione di un’ «idea» depurata, giunta alla quintessenza. La ricerca dell’espressività, le forme audaci della sintassi e il passare dalla prosa dell’inizio di «La lettre à Ibis» a una serie di versi liberi, dimostra che, come Vieuchange, Genet ricerca una conclusione, quella dell’opera d’arte. Considerata la data (maggio 1933), «Lettre à Ibis» ben si rivela essere la prima opera di Genet destinata alla pubblicazione

Fast identification of biological pathways associated with a quantitative trait using group lasso with overlaps.
No full textWhere causal SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) tend to accumulate within biological pathways, the incorporation of prior pathways information into a statistical model is expected to increase the power to detect true associations in a genetic association study. Most existing pathways-based methods rely on marginal SNP statistics and do not fully exploit the dependence patterns among SNPs within pathways.We use a sparse regression model, with SNPs grouped into pathways, to identify causal pathways associated with a quantitative trait. Notable features of our "pathways group lasso with adaptive weights" (P-GLAW) algorithm include the incorporation of all pathways in a single regression model, an adaptive pathway weighting procedure that accounts for factors biasing pathway selection, and the use of a bootstrap sampling procedure for the ranking of important pathways. P-GLAW takes account of the presence of overlapping pathways and uses a novel combination of techniques to optimise model estimation, making it fast to run, even on whole genome datasets.In a comparison study with an alternative pathways method based on univariate SNP statistics, our method demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of important pathways, showing the greatest relative gains in performance where marginal SNP effect sizes are small
Jean Genet in Front of the Mirror of Identity Destruction
No full textThe life and work of French author Jean Genet have always been a quest for the ultimate masterpiece. In this quest, three major figures will guide him: the sculptor Giacometti, the painter Rembrandt and the tightrope walker Abdellah Bentaga. Through the works of these artists, Genet will discover the ultimate identity. What drew him to this discovery and which consequences did it have on the writer? It is this relationship to the Other, analyzed in the four texts that Genet wrote about these artists, that we will explore in this article, particularly through the myth of Narcissus.La vie et l’oeuvre de l’auteur français Jean Genet ont toujours été une quête de l’oeuvre d’art absolue. Dans cette quête, trois figures majeures le guideront : le sculpteur Giacometti, le peintre Rembrandt et le funambule Abdellah Bentaga. À travers les oeuvres de ces artistes, Genet découvrira l’identité absolue. Qu’est-ce qui le mena vers cette découverte et quelles conséquences eurent-elles sur l’écrivain ? C’est ce rapport à l’Autre, analysé dans les quatre textes que Genet a écrit sur ces artistes, que nous nous proposons d’interroger dans cet article, notamment à travers le mythe de Narcisse
How Much of Genet in Gombrowicz? [re: P.S. Rosół: Genet Gombrowicza]
No full textThe review sums up Piotr Seweryn Rosół’s book devoted to the relation between Witold Gombrowicz and Jean Genet. Despite his critical overtone, the author does not explicitly assess Rosół’s book. He argues with the general idea but notices ambitious intentions and interesting interpretations, which prevents him from rejecting the book as such. On the one hand, Rosół’s work bears the hallmarks of Gombrowicz studies truisms, and on the other hand, it renews some interpretations as it suggests that Gombrowicz uses Genet to “outline” the shape of generally avoided issue of homosexuality. Rosół’s book proves that certain way of critical reading of Gombrowicz is no longer valuable and although he attempts to transgress the traditional critical approach, he does it inconsistently
Genetic association study of QT interval highlights role for calcium signaling pathways in myocardial repolarization.
No full textThe QT interval, an electrocardiographic measure reflecting myocardial repolarization, is a heritable trait. QT prolongation is a risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) and could indicate the presence of the potentially lethal mendelian long-QT syndrome (LQTS). Using a genome-wide association and replication study in up to 100,000 individuals, we identified 35 common variant loci associated with QT interval that collectively explain ∼8-10% of QT-interval variation and highlight the importance of calcium regulation in myocardial repolarization. Rare variant analysis of 6 new QT interval-associated loci in 298 unrelated probands with LQTS identified coding variants not found in controls but of uncertain causality and therefore requiring validation. Several newly identified loci encode proteins that physically interact with other recognized repolarization proteins. Our integration of common variant association, expression and orthogonal protein-protein interaction screens provides new insights into cardiac electrophysiology and identifies new candidate genes for ventricular arrhythmias, LQTS and SCD
Jean Genet ou la danse macabre du bien et du mal
No full textIn this paper the author focuses the question of the search for lay sanctity in the work of Jean Genet considering the literary expression of his relationship with «Good» and «Evil». This topic brings in the problem of liberty in the dramatic work of Genet, which in turn is related to the question of (im)morality and religiosity. For this reason, in the second part of the essay, the author discusses Genet's anguished preoccupation with the problem of the relationship between Morality and Aesthetics; which could be described as a «danse macabre»
