Multimodal Communication and Peer Interaction during Equation-Solving Sessions with and without Tangible Technologies
2023
Despite the increasing use of technologies in the classroom, there are concerns that technology-enhanced learning environments may hinder students’ communication and interaction. In this study, we investigated how tangible technologies can enhance students’ multimodal communication and interaction during equation-solving pair work compared to working without such technologies. A tangible app for learning equation solving was developed and tested in fourth and fifth-grade classrooms with two class teachers and 24 students. Video data of the interventions were analysed using deductive and inductive content analysis. Coded data were also quantified for quantitative analysis. Additionally, teac…
Do E-Athletes Move?
2016
This article offers possibly the first peer-reviewed study on the training routines of elite e-athletes with special focus on the subjects' physical exercise routines. The study is based on a sample of 115 elite e-athletes. According to the responses, e-athletes train approximately 5.28 hours every day around the year on the elite level. Approximately 1.08 hours of that training is physical exercise. More than half (55.6%) of the elite e-athletes believe that integrating physical exercise in their training programs has a positive effect on esport performance; however, no less than 47.0% of the elite e-athletes do their physical exercise chiefly to maintain overall health. Accordingly, the s…
A strategic learner for a new society
2012
Nuevos tiempos precisan de nuevos aprendices. En una escuela inmersa en la sociedad de la información, que queremos que sea del conocimiento, hace falta desarrollar nuevas actitudes y habilidades para el aprendizaje. El estudiante ha de aprender a desarrollar su autonomía y responsabilidad en un mundo abierto en que hay sobreabundancia de información y estímulos. Para ello hace falta que el estudiante llegue a ser “aprendiz estratégico”, una persona autónoma que quiere aprender para crecer, para sí y para los demás, teniendo como referente los valores, alguien que aprende a movilizar, observar, evaluar, planificar y controlar sus propios procesos de aprendizaje. Estamos hablando de aprendiz…
Transcriptional Rewiring, Adaptation, and the Role of Gene Duplication in the Metabolism of Ethanol of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
2020
Ethanol is the main by-product of yeast sugar fermentation that affects microbial growth parameters, being considered a dual molecule, a nutrient and a stressor. Previous works demonstrated that the budding yeast arose after an ancient hybridization process resulted in a tier of duplicated genes within its genome, many of them with implications in this ethanol “produce-accumulate-consume” strategy. The evolutionary link between ethanol production, consumption, and tolerance versus ploidy and stability of the hybrids is an ongoing debatable issue. The implication of ancestral duplicates in this metabolic rewiring, and how these duplicates differ transcriptionally, remains unsolved. Here, we …
La Percepción Del Alumnado Sobre Las Competencias Docentes Del Profesorado De La Rama De Ciencias Sociales Y Jurídicas De La Universitat De València
2013
En el presente trabajo se presentan los datos de una investigación realizada en la Universidad de Valencia en la que se analiza la percepción del alumnado sobre las competencias docentes del profesorado del área de Ciencias Sociales y Jurídicas. En el estudio participaron un total de 389 estudiantes universitarios de 10 titulaciones diferentes de la Universitat de València. En general, las 32 competencias son valoradas por los sujetos de la muestra como muy importantes en el proceso de enseñanza/aprendizaje. El alumnado valora las competencias personales como las más importantes, seguidas de las científicas, las metodológicas y las sociales. Globalmente las dos competencias más valoradas ha…
Numerical and Experimental Study of Friction Loss in Hydrostatic Motor
2012
Published version of an article in the journal: Modeling, Identification and Control. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.4173/mic.2012.3.2 Open access This paper presents a numerical and experimental study of the losses in a hydrostatic motor principle. The motor is designed so that the structural deflections and lubricating regimes between moving surfaces and, subsequently, the leakage and friction losses, can be controlled during operation. This is done by means of additional pressure volumes that influence the stator deflection. These pressures are referred to as compensation pressures and the main emphasis is on friction or torque loss modeling of the motor as a …
Using eye-movement modelling examples to improve critical reading of multiple webpages on a conflicting topic
2022
This project investigates the effects of an EMME intervention on undergraduates' sourcing when reading conflicting multiple texts on the Internet. Dependent variables: eye-movements on SERP, webs header, texts authors, and texts; use of source information in summaries; ideas from texts in summaries.
Toward the Development of Load Transfer Efficiency Evaluation of Rigid Pavements by a Rolling Wheel Deflectometer
2020
The jointed rigid pavement is currently evaluated by the Falling weight deflectometer which is rather slow for the testing of the jointed pavements. Continuous nondestructive evaluation of rigid pavements with a rolling wheel deflectometer can be used to measure the load transfer and is investigated. Load transfer is an important indicator of the rigid pavement&rsquo
Emulating the Effects of Radiation-Induced Soft-Errors for the Reliability Assessment of Neural Networks
2021
International audience; Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are currently one of the most widely used predictive models in machine learning. Recent studies have demonstrated that hardware faults induced by radiation fields, including cosmic rays, may significantly impact the CNN inference leading to wrong predictions. Therefore, ensuring the reliability of CNNs is crucial, especially for safety-critical systems. In the literature, several works propose reliability assessments of CNNs mainly based on statistically injected faults. This work presents a software emulator capable of injecting real faults retrieved from radiation tests. Specifically, from the device characterisation of a DRAM m…
Exploiting Data Analytics and Deep Learning Systems to Support Pavement Maintenance Decisions
2021
Road networks are critical infrastructures within any region and it is imperative to maintain their conditions for safe and effective movement of goods and services. Road Management, therefore, plays a key role to ensure consistent efficient operation. However, significant resources are required to perform necessary maintenance activities to achieve and maintain high levels of service. Pavement maintenance can typically be very expensive and decisions are needed concerning planning and prioritizing interventions. Data are key towards enabling adequate maintenance planning but in many instances, there is limited available information especially in small or under-resourced urban road authorit…
