Glíptica en grafía árabe del Museo Arqueológico Nacional
2018
El trabajo presenta las doce piedras con inscripción en alfabeto árabe que se guardan en la sección de glíptica del MAN, casi todas las cuales permanecían inéditas. Incluye la descripción y medidas de cada una, lectura y traducción de su texto, y paralelos en otros centros. Comenta los estilos caligráficos y demás aspectos que las insertan en el contexto de los sellos o de las manifestaciones de piedad popular a que corresponden, según los casos. Recoge información para determinar cómo y cuándo llegaron al Museo y su posible procedencia. La conclusión es que no tienen origen andalusí, sino que se trajeron de Oriente (India, Irán o Turquía) o del Norte de África (Túnez) durante el siglo xix.…
Método de medida de umbrales en direcciones oponentes
2019
El documento contiene un primer apartado con un organigrama explicativo, 2 apartados teóricos para comprender los espacios de color y como podemos utilizarlos, un tercero para explicar de manera muy básica como usar el programa de Demo_Estimuls para generar nuestros estímulos, y un quinto apartado donde queda agrupada la programación para Matlab. El documento describe de manera simplificada un metodo de medida de umbrales en las direcciones oponentes mediante un test con el método de escalera, incluyendo breves explicaciones sobre los espacios de color utilizados, y una explicación básica del uso del programa Demo_Estimuls de Matlab, además de la programación necesaria para la creación de e…
Ecología de las currucas mediterráneas en ambientes naturales y agrícolas del este de la península ibérica.
2018
RESUMEN En la presente tesis doctoral se investigan cuatro especies de currucas mediterráneas, la curruca capirotada (Sylvia atricapilla), curruca carrasqueña (S. cantillans), curruca cabecinegra (S. melanocephala) y curruca rabilarga (S. undata); concretamente se estudió su ecología en ambientes naturales y agrícolas del este de la Península Ibérica. En ella se describe la selección y preferencia de hábitat que realizan las especies, así como aspectos de su biología reproductiva. Los objetivos específicos van dirigidos a: 1) determinar la selección de hábitat realizada por las currucas durante su periodo reproductivo, y cómo es dicha selección con la presencia de especies congéneres en eco…
Absorption kinetics and swelling stresses in hydrothermally aged epoxies investigated by photoelastic image analysis
2015
Abstract The present work proposes an experimental optical methodology able to measure the transient swelling stresses induced by the water uptake ageing of polymers. In particular, the work describes the implementation of a Photoelastic technique to quantify internal stresses arising during the hydrothermal ageing of cast epoxy samples. The material investigated is a model DGEBA/DDS epoxy system. Curing and post-curing cycles have been optimised in order to obtain a fully cured, high T g , and completely stress free initial condition. Rectangular beam samples were then left in a hydrothermal bath at 90 °C, and regularly monitored by gravimetric and photoelastic analyses. The quantitative e…
Evaluation of the vibrations transmitted to the hand-arm system in the use of portable harvesters for olives
2017
The use of portable harvesters in olives harvesting is presently widely diffused in Sicily, south Italy, both to reduce the costs of production and to assure the olive oil quality. Nevertheless, it's well known that the use of such tools may involve risk of exposure to vibration transmitted to the hand-arm system which is a potential cause of muscular/skeletal pains, and specific pathologies such as Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), Vibration-Induced White Finger (VWF) and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). The aim of this study was to assess the level of exposure to vibration transmitted to the hand-arm system of the operators during the use of portable harvesters for olives. Two different co…
Machine Learning approach towards real time assessment of hand-arm vibration risk
2021
In industry 4,0, the establishment of an interconnected environment where human operators cooperate with the machines offers the opportunity for substantially improving the ergonomics and safety conditions of the workplace. This topic is discussed in the paper referring to the vibration risk, which is a well-known cause of work-related pathologies. A wearable device has been developed to collect vibration data and to segment the signals obtained in time windows. A machine learning classifier is then proposed to recognize the worker’s activity and to evaluate the exposure to vibration risks. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the methodology proposed.
Accuracy assessment and position correction for low-cost non-differential GPS as applied on an industrial peat bog
1999
A low-cost, non-differentially corrected hand-held GPS receiver was tested on an industrial peat production bog. A correction procedure (‘pseudo-differential correction’) was derived that corrected data points to the nearest position on a line defining the centre of each 15-m wide field. The result was a corrected log of track points for each field for all points lying along the field. It was found that the mean orthogonal distance from a field centreline was linearly correlated with mean uncorrected GPS data error (r 2 0.99) such that as GPS error increased so the accuracy obtained by correction decreased. For a signal with a mean uncorrected error of 30 m it was possible to reduce the err…
Water content of latent fingerprints - Dispelling the myth.
2016
Abstract Changing procedures in the handling of rare and precious documents in museums and elsewhere, based on assumptions about constituents of latent fingerprints, have led the author to an examination of available data. These changes appear to have been triggered by one paper using general biological data regarding eccrine sweat production to infer that deposited fingerprints are mostly water. Searching the fingerprint literature has revealed a number of reference works similarly quoting figures for average water content of deposited fingerprints of 98% or more. Whilst accurate estimation is difficult there is no evidence that the residue on fingers could be anything like 98% water, even…
Optimal Flight Path Determination in Turbulent Air: A Modified EKF Approach
2018
By using the Extended Kalman Filter an accurate path following in turbulent air is performed. The procedure employs simultaneously two dierent EKFs: the rst one estimates disturbances, the second one aords to determine the necessary controls displacements for rejecting those ones. To tune the EKFs an optimization algorithm has been designed to automatically determine Process Noise Covariance and Measurement Noise Covariance matrices. The rst lter, by using instrumental measurements gathered in turbulent air, estimates wind components. The second one obtains command laws able to follow the desired ight path. To perform this task aerodynamic coecients have been modied. Such a procedure leads …
La negociación colectiva de empresas vinculadas en el marco de las redes de empresas integradas por empresas multiservicios
2018
Ante la plena consolidación de las empresas multiservicios (en adelante, EM) y la anomia legal en la materia, el análisis de la negociación colectiva de los convenios de empresas multiservicios, deviene fundamental para impedir el dumping social. La comunicación examina la vía abierta por el convenio de empresas vinculadas que se ha negociado en Adecco Outsourcing S.A.U. y en Atlas Servicios Empresariales, S.A.U. Se trata de una experiencia negocial de gran interés, por buscar proteger la negociación sectorial, salvando algunos problemas como la alegación de las empresas multiservicios de la existencia de un vacío sectorial a la hora de determinar el convenio colectivo de referencia en el s…
