Enriqueciendo la investigación en humanidades digitales. Análisis de textos de claustros académicos de la Universidad de Valencia (1775-1779) con KH …
2020
[ES] La aplicación de métodos automatizados en cualquier investigación ha facilitado el trasvase de metodologías de una disciplina a otra, permitiendo realizar análisis cuantitativos a textos con estructura o semiestructurados. El objeto de este trabajo es aplicar a un dataset en lenguaje natural -castellano del siglo XVIII- métodos de análisis de la disciplina de documentación. Pretende establecer una metodología automática de análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de textos, que permita enriquecer en el futuro las conclusiones procedentes del análisis histórico tradicional. Este estudio construye los procedimientos necesarios para poder aplicar análisis de frecuencia, extracción y clasificac…
Advanced C++11 Multithreading
2018
Abstract The previous chapter introduced the basic concepts of multithreading using the C++11 threading API starting with basic spawn and join approaches, while finishing with non-trivial synchronization based on mutexes and condition variables. However, the major bottleneck of application performance is usually caused by contention for a shared resource. In case of mutex-based programming all participating threads usually try to acquire the same lock in parallel which effectively serializes the program for lightweight operations such as increment/decrement or updates of a single scalar value. Fortunately, modern CPUs provide dedicated commands that allow for the efficient execution of unin…
Evaluation of a Visual Tool for Early Patent Infringement Detection During Design
2019
Patent infringement detection usually implies research among documents in different forms, in both natural and unstructured language, often involving a lot of human resources and time. In order to ease this patent check process, we previously presented a visual tool to be used by designers themselves at any stage of the design process, providing them with useful and reliable information for deciding whether to steer their design away from potential patent infringements. In this work, we report on a usability study carried out on such a tool with 21 professional designers from industry in the field of mechanical engineering. The outcome of our study shows that our tool is very well accepted …

Wireless sensor network for Spectrum Cartography based on Kriging interpolation
2012
Dynamic spectrum access with Cognitive Radio (CR) network is a promising approach to increase the efficiency of spectrum usage. To allow the optimization of resource allocation and transmission adaptation techniques, each CR terminal needs to acquire awareness of the state of the time-frequency-location varying radio spectrum. In this paper we present a Spectrum Cartography (SC) approach where CR terminals are supported by a fixed wireless sensor network (WSN) to estimate and update the Power Spectral Density (PSD) over the area of interest. The wireless sensors collaborate to estimate the spatial distribution of the received power at a given frequency using either a centralized or a distri…
Developing scoring functions to assess soil quality at a regional scale in rangelands of SW Spain
2020
ABSTRACT The drawing of maps of soil quality at a large scale is increasingly being more useful to land planners and stakeholders. Nevertheless, it involves different methodological steps from the description of soil profiles in the field until the regional mapping of integrative soil quality index (IQI) values. The development of proper scoring functions is a paramount task for the calculation of these IQI values since every parameter needs to be standardized accordingly and weighting factors are usually estimated by multivariate techniques. The main goal of this study was to map soil quality in the Spanish region of Extremadura (commonly known by its rangelands called dehesas). To do that…
Resource sharing optimality in WiFi infrastructure networks
2009
In WiFi networks, mobile nodes compete for accessing a shared channel by means of a random access protocol called Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). Although this protocol is in principle fair, since all the stations have the same probability to transmit on the channel, it has been shown that unfair behaviors may emerge in actual networking scenarios. Assuming that a contending node can dynamically change its strategy, by tuning its contention parameters to non-standard values on the basis of channel observations, we prove that, for infrastructure networks with bidirectional traffic and homogeneous application requirements, selfish access strategies are able to reach equilibrium condi…
The Integration and Sharing of Resources for a New Quality of Living
2014
In questo capitolo, il tema della condivisione è trattato anche dal punto di vista giuridico attraverso una discussione caratterizzante il dibattito rilevante. Sono quindi approfondite le questioni inerenti le funzioni e la forma urbana. L’IT infatti può interagire con problemi operativi della città e con l’uso delle risorse ambientali (energia, suolo, acqua…), parametro indicativo su cui devono essere sviluppate le trasformazioni urbane. Come condividere gli spazi e le funzioni urbane costituisce la nuova frontiera nel campo dell’innovazione urbana. In this chapter, the issues of sharing of information and of information technologies use are dealt with from the juridical point of view, thr…
Using a Computerised Corpus in the Construction of a Bilingual Phraseological Dictionary
2016
It is generally acknowledged that one of the main purposes of bilingual dictionaries is to provide learners with relevant and sufficient information about the grammatical, lexical and phraseological units of a language (Yong and Peng 2007: 20). Furthermore, this must be done in a way that is both convenient and comprehensible for very specific kinds of users (Cabre 2007: 80–81; Pecman 2008: 205), namely, non-native speakers who are still developing their linguistic and discourse competence but who have not fully attained the intuitive ability to tackle major grammatical issues. It follows that this kind of learner cannot rely on previous discourse experience and sociolinguistic training in …
The Elephant in the Machine: Proposing a New Metric of Data Reliability and its Application to a Medical Case to Assess Classification Reliability
2020
In this paper, we present and discuss a novel reliability metric to quantify the extent a ground truth, generated in multi-rater settings, as a reliable basis for the training and validation of machine learning predictive models. To define this metric, three dimensions are taken into account: agreement (that is, how much a group of raters mutually agree on a single case)
