CONAMO

Transforming cycling into a social experience The topic of athlete data in cycling is especially relevant in Flanders, the birthplace of many cycling innovations. Real-time data doesn’t just enabl e cyclists to get an instant overview of their performance for improved training and strategic decision-making; it also makes cycling a social experience, opening up areas of a market in which novelty and added value are key differentiators. Addressing new technical challenges in real-time data transmission and analysis By introducing new technologies in the areas of long-range networks and data analysis, CONAMO will address several innovation goals, including: - reliable long-range sensor connectivity in high-density networks; - a semantic reasoning platform that analyses cyclist data to implement individualized and adaptive training models; - increased user experience during training and collective cycling events and the identification of business opportunities for cyclists, fans and media professionals. In determining what factors spark increased user experience during actual cycling events, the project intends to extend the data-driven cycling experience from ‘post event’ into ‘during event’. Taking personal training and collective cycling to the next level CONAMO will collaborate with diverse partners specializing in the areas of athletic training methods, public engagement, the Internet of Things, networking and big data. Two use cases form the core of the project: - preparation for the event in the form of training; - group experience during mass cycling events with a trial planned at a mass cycling event such as the 2018 Tour of Flanders for amateurs. The project’s living lab will explore how social interaction, storytelling, gamification and smart connections to professional cycling experiences can enhance user experience in both use cases and motivate a wide group of cyclists to train in a healthy way. Promoting an active lifestyle to a wider group Fields of investigation and innovation for CONAMO don’t just include the technical and social; the project also seeks to support the creation of a healthier, more responsible and social cycling experience. Cycling continues to grow in popularity around the world, and promoting exercise to a wider group of people is an explicit goal of CONAMO and its collaborators. ... [more]

The research of mathematical model and its application in admission problems

January 2014 · Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research

This article brings out the improved thought of college admission system reform based on parallel will College Admission Mode of Multiple Choices Based on Internet, CAMMCBI. We use the absorbing Markov analysis method to establish the student scores and college level sequence model of absorbing Markov chain, analysis CAMMC BI admission mechanism problem from the angle of dynamic. Reform of ... [Show full abstract] College Admission System is the key of Reform in college Entrance Examination. The standards of adjusting the reasonableness of admission system: The fairness of admission way. The examinee satisfaction and Information transparency between the examinees and the colleges. College entrance system is improved because of entrance examination reform at the same time.

The censored Markov chain and the best augmentation

September 1996 · Journal of Applied Probability

Computationally, when we solve for the stationary probabilities for a countable-state Markov chain, the transition probability matrix of the Markov chain has to be truncated, in some way, into a finite matrix. Different augmentation methods might be valid such that the stationary probability distribution for the truncated Markov chain approaches that for the countable Markov chain as the ... [Show full abstract] truncation size gets large. In this paper, we prove that the censored (watched) Markov chain provides the best approximation in the sense that, for a given truncation size, the sum of errors is the minimum and show, by examples, that the method of augmenting the last column only is not always the best.

La dinamica del reddito regionale italiano: un'analisi non parametrica

January 2003

Vincenzo DALL'AGLIO

This paper firstly examines the dynamics of aggregate productivity, employment rate and per capita GDP of the Italian regions, giving a comprehensive description of the pattern of regional inequality. The non-parametric analysis of the discrete Markov chains shows that the emerging feature of the dynamics of employment rate and per capita GDP is "stratification", with the formation of multimodal ... [Show full abstract] long-period distributions. While most of the Southern regions are being caught in a poverty trap, the Central ones display convergence. Furthermore, the North East moves towards the upper estreme whereas the income of some of the first industralized regions declines. The partial convergence shown by the aggregate productivity does not contraddict the widening of the regional gaps because in the poor South this reflects the strong dismissal of employees, while in the rich industrialized areas it depends on the increasing importance of the services. Moreover, the pattern of productivity in the industrializing North-East displays divergence. Secondly, applying regression trees, the last part of the paper shows that, given structural initial conditions, the development of the manufacturing sector is an important source of the persistence of the high degree of inequality across Italian regions. It appears that the "stratification" earlier found in the unconditional distribution dynamics of the per capita income is well explained by industrialization.
