Assessment of the Total Factor Productivity Change in the Spanish Ports: Hicks–Moorsteen Productivity Index Approach
2016
AbstractThe assessment of the productivity growth of ports is essential to improve their performance and competitiveness. Although there are several nonparametric methodologies to compute the productivity change, the Hicks–Moorsteen productivity index is the only multiplicatively completed index that can be computed without price data. For the first time, the total factor productivity (TFP) change of a sample of ports is evaluated. The analysis covers the 28 ports comprising the Spanish port system, using data over the period 2005–2012. The drivers of TFP—technical change, technical efficiency, mix efficiency, and residual scale efficiency—are also investigated. The results indicate that fr…
Non-autonomous rough semilinear PDEs and the multiplicative Sewing Lemma
2021
We investigate existence, uniqueness and regularity for local solutions of rough parabolic equations with subcritical noise of the form $du_t- L_tu_tdt= N(u_t)dt + \sum_{i = 1}^dF_i(u_t)d\mathbf X^i_t$ where $(L_t)_{t\in[0,T]}$ is a time-dependent family of unbounded operators acting on some scale of Banach spaces, while $\mathbf X\equiv(X,\mathbb X)$ is a two-step (non-necessarily geometric) rough path of H\"older regularity $\gamma >1/3.$ Besides dealing with non-autonomous evolution equations, our results also allow for unbounded operations in the noise term (up to some critical loss of regularity depending on that of the rough path $\mathbf X$). As a technical tool, we introduce a versi…
Neutralidad y honorabilidad del árbitro: : De la ética a la diligencia
2021
One of the main principles of arbitration is that the arbitral tribunal must be independent, impartial, neutral and diligent in carrying out its duties throughout the arbitration proceedings. However, the sophistication and complexity of arbitration as an extra-judicial dispute resolution procedure can undermine confidence in the efficiency of the system. In this regard, the professional (arbitral) ethics and the honourability of the arbitrator are of major importance. This article aims to highlight the importance of the neutrality of the arbitrator, the integrity of the arbitration and the reputation of this procedure
La constitución del parlamento en caso de presuntas irregularidades electorales: Comentario a la stedh de 10 de julio de 2020 : Caso mugemangango c. …
2021
The ECHR analyzes, through this judgment, a claim based on the violation of the rights to free elections and to an effective remedy, the origin of which is found in a series of alleged electoral irregularities. The national body that had to resolve this issue was not impartial, and the complaint procedure lacked adequate and sufficient guarantees

El món digital ha comportat l'aparició de molts tipus de dades, de mida i complexitat creixents. De fet, els dispositius moderns ens permeten obtenir fàcilment imatges de major resolució, així com recopilar dades sobre cerques a la xarxa, anàlisis sanitàries, xarxes socials, sistemes d'informació geogràfica, etc. En conseqüència, l'estudi i el tractament d'aquests grans conjunts de dades té un gran interès i valor. En aquest sentit, els grafs ponderats proporcionen un espai de treball natural i flexible on representar les dades. En aquest context, un vèrtex representa una dada concreta i a cada aresta se li assigna un pes segons alguna mesura de semblança adequadament triada entre els vèrte…

Solid sampling Fourier transform infrared determination of Mancozeb in pesticide formulations
2004
Abstract A series of approaches have been assayed for FTIR determination of Mancozeb in several solid commercial fungicides using different calibration strategies. The simplest procedure was based on the use of the ratio between the absorbance of a characteristic band of Mancozeb and that of a KSCN internal standard measured in the FTIR spectra obtained from KBr pellets. It was employed the quotient between peak height absorbance values at 1525 cm−1 for Mancozeb and 2070 cm−1 for KSCN. In these conditions a precision as relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.6% and a relative accuracy error of 0.8% (w/w) were found. For complex formulations, containing other compounds with characteristic ab…
PLS-UV spectrophotometric method for the simultaneous determination of paracetamol, acetylsalicylic acid and caffeine in pharmaceutical formulations
1997
A simple and fast analytical procedure is proposed for the simultaneous determination of paracetamol, acetylsalicylic acid and caffeine in pharmaceuticals by means the partial least square treatment of the spectrophotometric absorbance data between 216 and 300 nm, taken at 5 nm intervals. The method involves the use of 8 standard mixtures of the three compounds assayed, considered at two concentration levels, and the measurement of the absorbance of samples in a 20% (v/v) ethanol in water solution previously filtered. In the analysis of real and synthetic samples precise and accurate values were obtained by the aforementioned procedure, providing in all cases variation coefficients and accu…
Multivariate standardisation for non-linear calibration range in the chemiluminescence determination of chromium.
2006
Multivariate standardisation is proposed for the successful chemiluminescence determination of chromium based on luminol-hydrogen peroxide reaction. In an extended concentration range, non-linear calibration model is needed. The studied instrumental situations were different detection cells, instruments, assemblies, time and their possible combinations. Chemiluminescence kinetic registers have been transferred using piecewise direct standardisation (PDS) method. The optimisation of transfer parameters has been carried out based on the prediction residual error criteria. Non-linear principal component regression (NL-PCR) and non-linear partial least square regression (NL-PLS) were chosen for…
