Fusión de las imágenes Landsat y micrometeorológicas para hacer un seguimiento de la evapotranspiración diaria a escala regional

2008

El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar la aplicabilidad operacional de un modelo propuesto recientemente (Sánchez et al., 2008) junto con imágenes de satélite para hacer un seguimiento de los flujos de energía de la superficie a escala regional. En concreto, nos centraremos en la obtención de la evapotranspiración diaria por la especial significación que tiene este flujo en la generación de precipitación o en la gestión de las fuentes de agua para usos agrícolas. Presentamos una metodología detallada para aplicar el Método Simplificado de Balance Energético de Dos Fuentes a las imágenes Landsat. Los distintos rasgos de las tierras de cultivo de superficie vienen caracterizados por los mapas…

The Appraisal Theory of Emotion in Human–Computer Interaction

2020

This chapter reviews the appraisal theory of emotion and how it has been employed in human–computer interaction (HCI) research. This theory views emotion as a process that evaluates the subjective significance of an event. We demonstrate the usefulness of the perspective for HCI, as emotion is defined in terms of the events of the task environment and the goals and knowledge of the subject. Importantly, the appraisal theory ties these factors together in a cognitive appraisal process order to explain the variety of subjective emotional experiences. This is important for two reasons. First, a strong theoretical commitment allows researchers and designers to derive testable hypotheses from th…

Evolutionary morphology of Ligophorus spp. (Monogenea: Dactylogyridae): a geometric morphometrics approach

2016

El presente estudio demostró el potencial de la morfometría geométrica para inferir nuevas visiones sobre la morfología funcional del anclaje en las especies de Ligophorus y de los procesos evolutivos de coevolución parásito-hospedador. Como síntesis del estudio, éstas son las principales conclusiones: 1. En este estudio se encontró que el patrón de variación de la forma fue similar en ganchos ventrales y dorsales. La variación de la forma localizada fue mucho mayor en los ganchos dorsales, lo cual coincidió con la alta variación residual en los modelos de la forma. Los efectos aleatorios (sección de la branquia × hospedador individual) fueron un importante determinante en los ganchos ventr…

The Power of Weak Ties: Leveraging Weak Ties in the Evolution of Alliance Networks

2014

In today's knowledge-based economy, the sources of competitive advantage lie more and more in webs of relationships among a variety of firms that over time originate the emergence of interfirm strategic networks. The paper aims to shed light on the role of complex leadership exerted by network central firms in promoting and supporting network interactions and the ensuing processes of knowledge and resource transfer and diffusion. Processes on which the network-based sources of competitive advantage are rooted. In the attempt to make the proposed contribution, on the one hand, we underscore the emergent nature of network interactions stemming from the self-organizing behaviors that spontaneo…

Nitric oxide radicals are emitted by wasp eggs to kill mold fungi

2019

Detrimental microbes caused the evolution of a great diversity of antimicrobial defenses in plants and animals. Insects developing underground seem particularly threatened. Here we show that the eggs of a solitary digger wasp, the European beewolf Philanthus triangulum, emit large amounts of gaseous nitric oxide (NO⋅) to protect themselves and their provisions, paralyzed honeybees, against mold fungi. We provide evidence that a NO-synthase (NOS) is involved in the generation of the extraordinary concentrations of nitrogen radicals in brood cells (~1500 ppm NO⋅ and its oxidation product NO2⋅). Sequencing of the beewolf NOS gene revealed no conspicuous differences to related species. However,…

Coping between crises: Early Triassic–early Jurassic bivalve diversity dynamics

2011

The Triassic is bounded by two of the most severe biotic crises, but nevertheless this time was, for bivalves, both a recovery and a diversification period, and a moment to fully exploit some of their evolutionary novelties. Just how and when this was achieved is analyzed in this paper, which covers Induan to Sinemurian bivalve diversity, based on a newly compiled database. Taxonomic diversity and ecospace dynamics are examined separately. Diversity and evolutionary rates were assessed, extinction selectivity was tested using a resampling algorithm, and cohort analysis was used to study extinction patterns. During the Early Triassic most bivalve genera were survivors from the Permian and th…

Bivalves and evolutionary resilience: Old skills and new strategies to recover from the P/T and T/J extinction events

2011

Diversity dynamics among bivalves during the Triassic and Early Jurassic provides the opportunity to analyse the recovery patterns after two mass extinctions: Permian/Triassic and Triassic/Jurassic (T/J). The results presented here are based on a newly compiled worldwide genus-level database and are contrasted to the main morphological characters of the different taxonomical (orders and their constituent families and genera) and ecological groups. Many of such morphological characters are innovations appearing during the time span considered. Diversity and evolutionary rates were assessed and compared between these groups. During the Early Triassic there was a slow recovery, dominated by ep…

Development of atmospheric correction algorithms for very high spectral and spatial resolution images: application to SEOSAT and the FLEX/Sentinel-3 …

2018

Advanced high spectral and spatial resolution imager spectrometers on board new generation of Earth Observation missions bring new exciting opportunities to the remote sensing scientific community. However, this progress goes hand in hand with new challenges. The exploitation of data acquired from these family of advanced instruments requires new processing algorithms able to deal with these particularities. As part of this evolution, atmospheric correction algorithms - a mandatory processing step applied prior to the Earth surface reflectance data exploitation - must be adapted or reformulated, thereby paying special attention to how atmospheric effects disturb the acquired signal in the s…

Array programming with NumPy.

2020

Array programming provides a powerful, compact and expressive syntax for accessing, manipulating and operating on data in vectors, matrices and higher-dimensional arrays. NumPy is the primary array programming library for the Python language. It has an essential role in research analysis pipelines in fields as diverse as physics, chemistry, astronomy, geoscience, biology, psychology, materials science, engineering, finance and economics. For example, in astronomy, NumPy was an important part of the software stack used in the discovery of gravitational waves1 and in the first imaging of a black hole2. Here we review how a few fundamental array concepts lead to a simple and powerful programmi…
