Web-sovellus ohjelmoijien motivaation ja motivaatio-ongelmien kartoittamiseen ja korjaamiseen
2017
Tämä tutkielma pyrkii antamaan vastauksen siihen, kuinka voidaan toteuttaa www-sovellus, jolla voidaan mitata ja analysoida ohjelmoijien motivaatiota organisaatiossa ja kuinka voidaan laatia motivaatiosuunnitelma heikkojen motivaatioalueiden korjaamiseksi. Työn teoriaosuudessa käsitellään ensin taustateoriaa työtyytyväisyydestä ja motivaatiosta ja käydään läpi eräitä tärkeitä motivaatiomalleja. Tämän jälkeen valitaan kaksi motivaatiomallia, joille laaditaan toiminnalliset määrittelyt, joilla ne on mahdollista muuntaa mitattavaan ja laskettavaan muotoon. Teoriaosuudessa esitetään myös, kuinka motivaatiosuunnitelma tehdään ja kuinka voidaan laatia motivaatiota korjaavia toimenpiteitä. Teoriao…
Design and Performance Evaluation of a High Power-Density EMI Filter for PWM Inverter-Fed Induction-Motor Drives
2016
This paper presents the design of an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter for a low-voltage high-current induction-motor drives supplied by dc power grids. In order to effectively design the EMI filter, a suitable common-mode/differential-mode (CM/DM) separation technique has been used. Due to the high operating currents, the software-based separation technique using time-domain measurements has been applied. The proposed technique allows the CM and DM sections of the EMI filter to be properly selected in a more economical way, i.e., without the need of a dedicated hardware or costly radio frequency (RF) instrumentation. The design has been done according to a power-density criterion. …
Fundamental movement skills and weight status in children: A systematic review
2017
Background Obesity has become a major health challenge in children. Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are suggested to have an important role for being physically active and decreasing the risk of obesity. This systematic review aimed to give an overview of studies providing evidence for a relationship between FMS and the weight status in children. Material/Methods A systematic search of five electronic databases (MEDLINE (PubMed), SportDiscus, ERIC, PsycInfo and SCOPUS) was conducted in January 2015. Studies examining associations between FMS and weight status in children aged 3–12 years were included. Results The final sample included 12 cross-sectional studies. Seven studies found statis…
FACTORES HUMANOS ASOCIADOS A LOS ACCIDENTES MORTALES DE MOTOCICLETAS SCOOTER EN ESPAÑA
2017
Resumen Los accidentes de motocicleta son uno de los problemas de seguridad vial más importantes a nivel mundial. Hay una escasez de estudios específicos sobre las características de la accidentalidad de las motocicletas de tipo scooter, motivada por la falta de una definición precisa de este tipo de motocicleta y de la identificación de los distintos tipos de vehículos de dos ruedas en los registros de accidentes. El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar las características de los 293 conductores de motocicletas scooter fallecidos en España durante el periodo 2006-2011. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos y de asociación en función de la naturaleza de las variables. Los resultados de los …
Conocimiento, traza e ingenio en la arquitectura valenciana del siglo XV
2012
In the last decades historiography of gothic architecture in the Crown of Aragon has focused on buildings monographs, documentary research and technical change in stone building. On the other hand, historians of technology have given special attention to the issue of innovation and its diffusion in the late Middle Ages, considering building techniques as a particular field of research. This essay studies transmission of technical knowledge in building trades in order to explain architectural changes in an outstanding environment of innovation such as the kingdom of Valencia in the 14th and 15th centuries, especially from 1430 onwards. Having account of previous research and some cases of st…

Path creation is a key concept in economic geography. So far, particularly scholars within evolutionary economic geography have pioneered research on this topic. This paper critically discusses the...
Durability of a 3D woven composite assisted by finite element multi-scale modelling
2012
International audience; The textile composite studied is a 3D woven composite. A unit cell is defined by using microscopic examinations of the microstructure. A multiscale approach assisted by the finite element method is performed in order to estimate the effective properties of the composite and then to access to local stress field. This approach allows the determination of the kind of load to which warp yarns are subjected. Moreover, detailed analysis of damaged model using different configurations of broken yarns are treated. The evolution of the stress concentration coefficient highlight the load transfers due to consecutive yarn breaks.

Single-mode Bragg gratings in tapered few-modes and multimode fibers
2019
We propose the implementation of fiber Bragg gratings in tapered few-mode and multimode fibers to accomplish single-mode operation by reducing the core diameter, while preserving the core-cladding structure. The gratings present a single reflection band, and the device shows low insertion losses after the taper fabrication and the fiber Bragg gratings inscription. The excitation of high-order odd modes in the core of the fiber has been identified as the main loss mechanism; it can be prevented by means of symmetric illumination of the fibers. We also demonstrate the excitation of high-order cladding modes (cladding-air modes) along the taper transitions; these modes can be removed without a…
