Contributions of biomechanical modeling and machine learning to the automatic registration of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance and Transrectal Echo…
2022
El cáncer de próstata (CaP) es el primer cáncer por incidencia en hombres en países occidentales, y el tercero en mortalidad. Tras detectar en sangre una elevación del Antígeno Prostático Específico (PSA) o tras tacto rectal sospechoso se realiza una Resonancia Magnética (RM) de la próstata, que los radiólogos analizan para localizar las regiones sospechosas. A continuación, estas se biopsian, es decir, se toman muestras vivas que posteriormente serán analizadas histopatológicamente para confirmar la presencia de cáncer y establecer su grado de agresividad. Durante la biopsia se emplea típicamente Ultrasonidos (US) para el guiado y la localización de las lesiones. Sin embargo, estas no son …
Contributions and applications around low resource deep learning modeling
2023
El aprendizaje profundo representa la vanguardia del aprendizaje automático en multitud de aplicaciones. Muchas de estas tareas requieren una gran cantidad de recursos computacionales, lo que limita su adopción en dispositivos integrados. El objetivo principal de esta tesis es estudiar métodos y algoritmos que permiten abordar problemas utilizando aprendizaje profundo con bajos recursos computacionales. Este trabajo también tiene como objetivo presentar aplicaciones de aprendizaje profundo en la industria. La primera contribución es una nueva función de activación para redes de aprendizaje profundo: la función de módulo. Los experimentos muestran que la función de activación propuesta logra…

Crear y gestionar conocimiento en red: agentes y procesos implicados.
2013
El proposito de este articulo es delimitar las funciones y roles de los principales agentes y los procesos que intervienen en la creacion y gestion del conocimiento (CGC) en red desde una plataforma virtual. Recoge, al respecto, algunos de los resultados mas destacados que se derivan de la investigacion “Agentes y procesos en la gestion del conocimiento en red” (I+D+i). El proceso de investigacion seguido ha supuesto, fundamentalmente, la puesta en marcha de 5 redes de CGC desde una plataforma virtual (Moodle) sostenida en el debate como estrategia; tambien la realizacion de un trabajo de campo que considero un cuestionario de autodiagnostico para 15 directivos y especialistas en desarrollo…
EARTH FOR SOCIAL HOUSING IN PALESTINE: AN ALTERNATIVE FOR A SUSTAINABLE REFURBISHMENT OF BUILDINGS’ ENVELOPES
2015
The suitable climates in the cities of Jericho and Gaza boosted the emergence of new attempts to revive earthen architecture on organizational and individual levels. These attempts produced a number of earthen buildings in the last few years following the crucial need to find alternative low cost material instead of natural stone, which is used in a large scale in Palestine. Similar attempts had a certain response to the social needs and economic situation there. This paper focuses on the possibility of using earth as an alternative material to refurbish the envelopes of existing housing units including two categories; firstly, refurbishing envelopes of housing units those were partially de…
Salutogenic design and regeneration for building heritage
2022
The design approach used is the SPCI “Salutogenic Park City Immersive” which focuses on the renaturation of urban living environments. A strategic role is played by the use of greening and landscaping design systems that are able to absorb a significant share of the country’s climate-changing gas emissions, as already partly highlighted by the European Green Deal. In particular, the key factors and methodologies of intervention are based on the interaction between Green City Adaptive and Resilient Design, in terms of physical redevelopment, environmental remediation and energy improvement, integrated with the enhancement of existing heritage. With the SPCI we intend to experiment with inter…
SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSITION: PRINCIPLES AND DESIGN GUIDELINES
2021
In these times of constant precariousness and insecurity, debates on the need for environmental sustainability are on the increase. There is a need to regenerate urban areas both by transforming the existing heritage while respecting historical memory, and by proposing "renewed" neighbourhoods with smartness, according to the use of renewable energy sources, eco-building, intelligent mobility, with a view to ecological transition. Immediate responses are needed to resource depletion on the one hand and the need to protect the quality of natural and environmental capital on the other. To achieve these goals, cities are called upon to play the role of drivers of sustainable development. By en…
GREEN REVOLUTION AND BUILT HERITAGE: CONCEPTS AND PERSPECTIVES OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGENERATION
2021
Urban and environmental regeneration is now a priority on a planetary level, and the climate neutrality objectives set by Brussels inevitably require a new green and sustainable design of cities and a total revision of human behaviour in relation to nature. Environmental regeneration requires an inclusive practice of architecture capable of metabolising the adaptations and contradictions of the built environment. With this in mind, and with no claim to being exhaustive, we will examine some of the "enabling" conditions and "indispensable" reasons for leading a process of environmental regeneration of the built heritage, analysing the critical points relating to public responsibilities, the …
TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN. THE INNOVATION IN THE METHOD
2018
The book presents reflections on the centrality of Design in the discipline of Technology of Architecture and on the need to adapt the design method to the innovation of thought implemented by the research world. The theme of the Innovation in the Method of Technological Design is an interesting challenge that in this volume has been addressed considering the complexity of the levels of thematic depth, opening up to critical reflections, proposals for tools and illustration of case studies that show the breadth, relevance and multidimensionality of this issue. The era of digital and information technology have significantly influenced the way of doing and thinking in architecture and this e…
Increasing the flexural capacity of RC beams using steel angles and pre-tensioned stainless steel ribbons
2016
This article presents an experimental programme on reinforced concrete beams retrofitted with steel angles and pre-stressed stainless steel ribbons to increase their flexural strength and ductility. Two different configurations of the steel ribbon were designed, and two companion specimens for each type considered were subjected to a four-point bending test to facilitate a direct comparison in the analysis of the effectiveness of the retrofitting technique. The influence of longitudinal steel angles and transverse stainless steel ribbons is analysed, and the concrete confinement due to stainless steel ribbons examined. The strengthened beams show remarkable increments in flexural strength a…
