Urban structure changes and environmental factors of Valencian Community towns as potentital drivers of the House Sparrow decline
2021
El gorrión común Passer domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758) se encuentra en declive en gran parte de Europa. En España, destaca el caso de la Comunidad Valenciana, área de estudio de esta tesis, con descensos superiores al 95% en zonas rurales y al 70% en zonas urbanas. Las causas del declive en zonas urbanas no son claras. En los pueblos y ciudades de la Comunidad Valenciana se están produciendo importantes procesos de transformación de la estructura urbana que afectan a la disponibilidad y adecuación del hábitat para la especie. El objetivo de la tesis fue explorar esos cambios como potenciales impulsores del declive del gorrión común. La tesis se distribuye en 8 capítulos. El capítulo 1 contiene…
Learning Automaton Based On-Line Discovery and Tracking of Spatio-temporal Event Patterns
2010
Published version of an article from the book: Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2010, Volume 6230/2010, 327-338. The original publication is available at Springerlink. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-15246-7_31 Discovering and tracking of spatio-temporal patterns in noisy sequences of events is a difficult task that has become increasingly pertinent due to recent advances in ubiquitous computing, such as community-based social networking applications. The core activities for applications of this class include the sharing and notification of events, and the importance and usefulness of these functionalites increases as event-sharing expands into larger areas of one’s life. Ironically, …
ERP denoising in multichannel EEG data using contrasts between signal and noise subspaces
2009
Abstract In this paper, a new method intended for ERP denoising in multichannel EEG data is discussed. The denoising is done by separating ERP/noise subspaces in multidimensional EEG data by a linear transformation and the following dimension reduction by ignoring noise components during inverse transformation. The separation matrix is found based on the assumption that ERP sources are deterministic for all repetitions of the same type of stimulus within the experiment, while the other noise sources do not obey the determinancy property. A detailed derivation of the technique is given together with the analysis of the results of its application to a real high-density EEG data set. The inter…
Spectral identification of forced oscillation in PMU signal using mode decomposition
2018
This article gives a new method to identify the frequency of Forced Oscillation (FO) in phasor measurement units (PMUs) signals. The processing of the signal by Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) technique leads to effective detection with improvement in accuracy. After testing some improved versions of EMD, it is observed that ‘improved Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN-2014)’ is the best version to use in processing. The developed methodology is able to spot the frequency of FOs even if there exist multiple modes with mode mixing and multiple events. In such cases, self-coherence method fails to spot FO. Spectral analysis is conducted on the decom…

ean-Square Filtering for Polynomial System States Confused with Poisson Noises over Polynomial Observations
2011
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.2011.2.1 In this paper, the mean-square filtering problem for polynomial system states confused with white Poisson noises over polynomial observations is studied proceeding from the general expression for the stochastic Ito differentials of the mean-square estimate and the error variance. In contrast to the previously obtained results, the paper deals with the general case of nonlinear polynomial states and observations with white Poisson noises. As a result, the Ito differentials for the mean-square estimate and error variance corre- spon…
Nonstationary response envelope probability densities of nonlinear oscillators
2006
The nonstationary random response of a class of lightly damped nonlinear oscillators subjected to Gaussian white noise is considered. An approximate analytical method for determining the response envelope statistics is presented. Within the framework of stochastic averaging, the procedure relies on the Markovian modeling of the response envelope process through the definition of an equivalent linear system with response-dependent parameters. An approximate solution of the associated Fokker-Planck equation is derived by resorting to a Galerkin scheme. Specifically, the nonstationary probability density function of the response envelope is expressed as the sum of a time-dependent Rayleigh dis…

A Computational Approach to Vibration Control of Vehicle Engine-Body Systems
2012
In recent years, the noise and vibration of cars have become increasingly important [20, 23, 29, 30, 35]. A major comfort aspect is the transmission of engine-induced vibrations through powertrain mounts into the chassis (see Figure 1). Engine and powertrain mounts are usually designed according to criteria that incorporate a trade-off between the isolation of the engine from the chassis and the restriction of engine movements. The engine mount is an efficient passive means to isolate the car chassis structure from the engine vibration. However, the passive means for isolation is efficient only in the high frequency range. However the vibration disturbance generated by the engine occurs mai…
