Non-convex power allocation games in MIMO cognitive radio networks
2013
Consideramos un escenario de reparto del espectro, basado en la detección, en una red de radio cognitiva MIMO donde el objetivo general es maximizar el rendimiento total de cada usuario de radio cognitiva optimizando conjuntamente la operación de detección y la asignación de potencia en todos los canales, bajo una restricción de interferencia para los usuarios primarios. Los problemas de optimización resultantes conducen a un juego no convexo, que presenta un nuevo desafío a la hora de analizar los equilibrios de este juego. Con el fin de hacer frente a la no convexidad del juego, utilizamos un nuevo concepto relajado de equilibrio, el equilibrio cuasi-Nash (QNE). Se demuestran las condicio…
The emerging role of 3D printing in the fabrication of detection systems
2021
Abstract 3D printing is fast evolving as an additive manufacturing technique that has been adopted in (bio)analytical science because of the ample variety of materials and technologies currently available for highly affordable prototyping. This review focuses on the unique characteristics of 3D printing for manufacturing of optical and electrochemical detection systems, and sampling interfaces for analytical purposes using fused deposition modelling, vat polymerization (stereolithography and digital light processing) and photopolymer inkjet printing. The majority of works surveyed within the time span of mid-2018 to mid-2020 encompassed the fabrication of several components of the detection…
Innovation Policies for Regional Structural Change: Combining Actor-Based and System-Based Strategies
2018
This chapter analyses opportunities and challenges for regional innovation policies designed to promote new path development in different types of regional innovation systems (RISs). RISs differ enormously in their capacity to develop new growth paths due to pronounced differences in endogenous potentials and varying abilities to attract and absorb exogenous sources for new path development. We distinguish between different types of regional industrial path development, which reflect various degrees of radicalness of regional structural change. The chapter offers a conceptual analysis of conditions and influences that enable and constrain new path development in different types of RISs and …
Acid‐Cleavable Poly(ethylene glycol) Hydrogels Displaying Protein Release at pH 5
2020
Abstract PEG is the gold standard polymer for pharmaceutical applications, however it lacks degradability. Degradation under physiologically relevant pH as present in endolysosomes, cancerous and inflammatory tissues is crucial for many areas. The authors present anionic ring‐opening copolymerization of ethylene oxide with 3,4‐epoxy‐1‐butene (EPB) and subsequent modification to introduce acid‐degradable vinyl ether groups as well as methacrylate (MA) units, enabling radical cross‐linking. Copolymers with different molar ratios of EPB, molecular weights (M n) up to 10 000 g mol−1 and narrow dispersities (Đ<1.05) were prepared. Both the P(EG‐co‐isoEPB)MA copolymer and the hydrogels showed pH‐…
Combined Innovation Policy: Linking Scientific and Practical Knowledge in Innovation Systems
2012
New research indicates that firms combining the science-based STI (Science, Technology, Innovation) and the experience-based DUI (Doing, Using, Interacting) modes of innovation are more efficient when it comes to improving innovation capacity and competitiveness. With regard to innovation policy, the STI mode calls for a supply driven policy, typically aimed to commercialise research results. The DUI mode suggests a demand driven policy approach, such as supporting the development of new products or services to specific markets. This paper analyses how the two types of innovation policy and the two innovation modes can be combined in regional innovation systems. The analysis builds on studi…
Cities as Enablers of Innovation
2018
The relationship between cities and innovation in present times can be regarded from a distinctive perspective. As it is vital to rethink our development patterns, in order to contrast global warming and its ominous threats, cities are themselves concrete materials for innovation. Therefore, cities challenge the very same concept of innovation by adding the long-term perspective to its social assessment framework. Cities are therefore seen both as hotbeds of creativity and innovative culture and places where different actors (policy makers, civil servants, NGOs, citizens, start-uppers, entrepreneurs, etc.) receive continuous stimuli to engage in innovations that fulfil specific needs (be th…
Garantías legales del concepto de privacidad: Entre el derecho al olvido y el nuevo reglamento europeo de protección de datos
2018
The operation of new technologies and the supply of digital goods involves for users to disclose their personal data. The market data is already a reality with the danger that this entails for the privacy of citizens. The new General Data Protection Regulation has created a new legal framework that aims to radically change the current model, giving users greater powers to control their data. A good example of this is the express statement, and for the first time, of the right to be forgotten, which allows citizens to digitally erase their data when other fundamental rights are endangered.
Reflections about the authentic document in "post mortem" fecundation
2018
[EN] The legislation on assisted reproduction contemplates the ¿post mortem¿ fecundation. Nevertheless, the document for the presentation of the assent raises some doubts in relation with the principle of party autonomy and the new technologies of the information and communication (ICTs). In the present work one thinks about these questions and one tries to contribute some solution of application in the Spanish legal system.
El bienestar del menor por nacer: ¿un interés a ponderar en el acceso a las técnicas de reproducción asistida?
2020
La necesidad de aproximar las legislaciones de los distintos Estados europeos en el ámbito de la reproducción asistida, para evitar el llamado “turismo reproductivo”; así como la conveniencia de realizar una valoración previa de las personas que solicitan ser receptoras de estas técnicas con fines reproductivos, en orden a acercar las distintas formas de filiación, hace que nos planteemos en el presente trabajo la introducción del “bienestar del menor por nacer” como un “interés” más a ponderar para acceder a las técnicas de reproducción asistida. The need to approximate the legislation of the different European States in the field of assisted reproduction, in order to prevent the so-called…
Semantically-enhanced advertisement recommender systems in social networks
2016
El suministro de recomendaciones en los sistemas sociales lleva ya algún tiempo en el punto de mira tanto de los académicos como de la industria. Los gigantes de las redes sociales como Facebook, LinkedIn, Myspace, etc., están ansiosos por encontrar la bala de plata de la recomendación. Estas aplicaciones permiten a los clientes dar forma a unas determinadas redes sociales a través de sus comunicaciones sociales cooperativas cotidianas. Mientras tanto, la experiencia online actual depende progresivamente de la asociación social. Una de las principales preocupaciones en la red social es establecer un plan de negocio exitoso para obtener más beneficios de la red social. Hacer un negocio en ca…
