Estimation of the elastic parameters of human liver biomechanical models by means of medical images and evolutionary computation.
2013
This paper presents a method to computationally estimate the elastic parameters of two biomechanical models proposed for the human liver. The method is aimed at avoiding the invasive measurement of its mechanical response. The chosen models are a second order Mooney–Rivlin model and an Ogden model. A novel error function, the geometric similarity function (GSF), is formulated using similarity coefficients widely applied in the field of medical imaging (Jaccard coefficient and Hausdorff coefficient). This function is used to compare two 3D images. One of them corresponds to a reference deformation carried out over a finite element (FE) mesh of a human liver from a computer tomography image, …
Wittgenstein a la luz de Aristóteles
2008
This paper compares the way Aristotle explains how one body gets alive or the way one mind manages to understand, with the way Wittgenstein discusses some questions as how is it possible to get meaning from the sign, or to follow a rule. The paper’s goal is not to establish a real influence of Aristotle on Wittgenstein, but to explore some logical aspects of their explanation patterns, with the aim of clarifying several notions of Wittgenstein’s later philosophy. El artículo compara el modo como Aristóteles explica que un cuerpo llegue a vivir o que una mente llegue a entender, con el esquema explicativo que emplea Wittgenstein para dar cuenta de problemas como éstos: ¿qué hace posible que …
Item transformation for computer asisted language testing: The adaptation of the Spanish University entrance examination
2010
Since the Spanish Educational system is changing and promoting the use of online tests, it was necessary to study the transformation of test items in the 'Spanish University Entrance Examination' (IB P.A.U.) to diminish the effect of test delivery changes (through its computerization) in order to affect the least the current model. The purpose of this study was to describe and suggest the properties of a new test item taxonomy for the Spanish University Entrance Examination. After a convenient study and piloting by using previous research in computer-based language testing, the researchers created a taxonomy of test items for the I.B. PAU Keywords: Language test; item design; computers; edu…
Application of a self-learning methodology for the enhancement of the oral communication student outcome in International Business studies
2019
[EN] Effective oral communication is one of the most demanded student outcomes in the labour market, especially for degree students on International Business. Although this outcome is usually evaluated in several subjects along the curriculum, it is barely worked neither inside nor outside the classroom, mainly due to lack of time and to unavailability of proper learning methodologies. The PIMECOE project, an innovation and educational improvement project on this matter, has developed a self-learning methodology on the Effective Oral Communication student outcome, in which auto-diagnosis tests, selflearning tools and peer assessments are conveniently combined to enhance the proficiency leve…
Analysis of the main weaknesses of university students regarding the "effective oral communication" student outcome
2019
[EN] The "Effective oral communication" is one of the most demanded student outcomes in the workplace, since being a good communicator is essential in any field. Inefficient communication can lead to misinterpretations and erroneous conclusions. Therefore, it is a very important student outcome both in the university and in the workplace. The student or graduate must know how to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing, appropriately using the necessary resources and adapting to the characteristics of the situation and the audience. However, despite its importance, the disparity in the mastery level of the oral communication student outcome by students makes it difficult to work …
El metadiscurso interpersonal en los subgéneros periodísticos de opinión en inglés y español. Aplicación didáctica a la redacción en lengua inglesa
2011
El concepto de metadiscurso ha aportado luz nueva al análisis lingüístico al desarrollar la macro-función interpersonal o tenor, una parte esencial del registro (Halliday, 1978), permitiendo así profundizar en cómo se manifiesta la relación autor-lector en un texto. Sólo recientemente se ha empezado a aplicar a la didáctica de la traducción (Suau Jiménez y Dolón Herrero, 2008; Suau Jiménez, 2010a, 2010b). Por ser parte del objetivo comunicativo de los géneros periodísticos el informar y entretener al lector desde un cierto posicionamiento persuasivo es muy importante esta relación interpersonal y sus marcas lingüísticas (Dafouz Milne, 2008). Por otra parte, el metadiscurso conforma un patró…
¿Y dónde está la gracia? El humor en el aula de ELE
2017
Resumen : El presente trabajo muestra el fenomeno pragmatico del humor como un instrumento idoneo para suscitar la reflexion sobre el uso y funciones del lenguaje en los estudiantes de ELE. Una vez expuestas las referencias al humor verbal y a la ironia por parte del Marco Comun Europeo de Referencia y el Plan Curricular del Instituto Cervantes , ofreceremos una propuesta didactica cuyo objetivo es la activacion y desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa. Muestras humoristicas como el monologo pueden contribuir a mejorar las destrezas linguisticas y pragmaticas en ELE desde niveles iniciales. Palabras clave: Humor, Competencia metapragmatica, ELE, Propuesta didactica. Abstract: This paper…
Automatic classification-based generation of thermal infrared land surface emissivity maps using AATSR data over Europe
2012
The remote sensing measurement of land surface temperature from satellites provides a monitoring of this magnitude on a continuous and regular basis, which is a critical factor in many research fields such as weather forecasting, detection of forest fires or climate change studies, for instance. The main problem of measuring temperature from space is the need to correct for the effects of the atmosphere and the surface emissivity. In this work an automatic procedure based on the Vegetation Cover Method, combined with the GLOBCOVER land surface type classification, is proposed. The algorithm combines this land cover classification with remote sensing information on the vegetation cover fract…
Capability-based Communication Analysis for Enterprise Modelling
2018
Capability-oriented enterprise modelling can provide effective solutions to face changing business context. In the business domain, the notion of capability has gained a lot of attention since it guides the activities of service specification and design. Simultaneously, the research community has been promoting the integration of model-driven development (MDD) approaches with enterprise modelling to support the link between enterprise and software specifications. This integration has becoming vital to ensure the traceability of enterprise models and software implementations, acceleration of software time to market, quality assurance, and enterprise model evolution support. The capability-dr…
