Tecnologías en la creación de imágenes en las aulas. Un estudio de casos en tres escuelas públicas

2018

Esta investigación forma parte del proyecto “Estudio de la calidad estética de tres centros educativos valencianos” que profundiza en las técnicas y tecnologías con las que están creadas las imágenes presentes en los colegios, como variable de la calidad educativa. La metodología de investigación es plural, al combinar métodos artísticos, cualitativos y cuantitativos. La recogida de datos consiste en fotografiar las imágenes que se muestran en las paredes de 27 aulas en 3 escuelas. Las fotografías se analizan cualitativamente según su tecnología. Mediante investigación basada en imágenes se clasifican según sus procesos de producción: mecánicos, manuales, o mediante tecnología mixta. Los re…

Estudio comparativo de dos metodologías aplicadas para la comprensión de la música contemporánea en la educación secundaria obligatoria

2016

In this paper we try to discover which methodology is more appropriate for the comprehension of the contemporary music in the Secondary Education. For that purpose by a quasi-experiment, mixed, qualitative and quantitative, the preserved results through the application of two different methodologies have been compared: a traditional one base on the masterly class and another based in different kinds of audition. The obtained results after the didactical application on the quantitative level weren´t significant, however, on the qualitative level we could also observe that the pupils who subjected to that methodology had more advantageous results regarding to the comprehension of the contempo…

Identification of breed informative single nucleotide polymorphisms for assigning individual in Sicilian dairy sheep

2015

Assignment tests using genetic information to establish population membership of individuals, provide the most direct methods to determine the population of origin of unknown individuals. The identification of the breed or population of origin of individuals potentially offers unbiased tools in livestock and is useful in a variety of biological contexts. The aim of this study was to identify the minimum number of informative SNPs from highthroughput genotyping data in Sicilian dairy sheep breeds, and to investigate their usefulness for breed assignment purposes. Individuals of Valle del Belice (48), Comisana (48) and Pinzirita (53) sheep breeds were genotyped using Illumina OvineSNP50K Geno…

Effects of Grazing on the Behaviour, Oxidative and Immune Status, and Production of Organic Dairy Cows

2019

This study compared the effects of a short daily grazing time with those of permanent free-stall housing on the behaviour, oxidative status, immune response, and milk production of organically reared cows. During a 63-day period, two homogeneous groups of eight lactating Brown cows were allocated to either housing (H) in a free-stall building for 24 h/day. Feeding was based on a total mixed ration or grazing (G) on barley grass for 5 h/day, and housing in a free-stall structure with feeding was based on the same total mixed ration offered to the H group. With regard to behaviour, H cows spent more time idling, walking, drinking, and self-grooming, whereas G cows showed a greater intent to e…

Integrated production of biopolymers with industrial wastewater treatment: Effects of OLR on process yields, biopolymers characteristics and mixed mi…

2022

The production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) using industrial wastewaters as feedstocks is a current and challenging topic. This study investigated the production of biopolymers by a mixed microbial culture under different OLRs equal to 1 kgCOD m-3d-1 (Period 1), 2 kgCOD m-3d-1 (Period 2) and 3 kgCOD m-3d-1 (Period 3). The maximum PHA content was achieved in Period 2 (0.38 gPHA gTSS-1), whereas lower values were obtained in Period 1 (0.13 gPHA gTSS-1) and Period 3 (0.26 gPHA gTSS-1). Overall, the maximum PHA productivity resulted equal to 0.08 gPHA L-1h-1 (P2), 0.05 gPHA L-1h-1 (P1) and 0.04 gPHA L-1h-1 (P3), respectively. The molecular weight of the PHA increased from Period 1 (250 kDa) t…

Elimination of spurious kinematic modes in hybrid equilibrium elements

2011

Hybrid stress elements are proposed as alternative to standard finite elements for linear and non linear analysis. Hybrid stress formulation is developed in a rigorous mathematical setting and an original approach for elimination of spurious kinematic modes is presented. Hybrid equilibrium method is compared to classical displacement based method by linear elastic analysis of some well known structural examples.

Dual Boundary Element Method for fatigue crack growth: implementation of the Richard’s criterion

2013

A new criterion for fatigue crack growth, whose accuracy was previously tested in the literature with the Finite Element Method, is here adopted with a Dual Boundary Element formulation. The fatigue crack growth of an elliptical inclined crack, embedded in a three dimensional cylindrical bar, is analyzed. In this way in addition to the propagation angle estimated by the Sih’s criterion, it is possible to take into account a twist propagation angle. The two propagation criteria are compared in terms of shape of the propagated crack and in terms of SIFs along the crack front. The efficiency of the Dual Boundary Element Method in this study is highlighted.
