Cheese flavour : instrumental techniques
2004
This chapter discusses instrumental techniques to analyze cheese flavor. It focuses on recent advances made to study and identify the taste-active components present in the water-soluble fraction of cheese. A general procedure for the preparation of fractions involves an extraction of grated cheese by water followed by a fractionation scheme, generally adapted from the fractionation protocol used to isolate cheese nitrogen fractions in the study of proteolysis in cheese during ripening. However, as sub-fractions have to be evaluated sensorially to assess their relative sensory impact and try to link it to their chemical composition, a suitable eluent has to be used in the chromatographic st…
Anthropometric characteristics and vertical jump abilities by player position and performance level of junior female volleyball players
2021
Although absolute jump heights should be considered an important factor in judging the performance requirements of volleyball players, limited data is available on age-appropriate categories. The purpose of this study is to determine the differences in specific anthropometric characteristics and jumping performance variables in under−19 female volleyball players in relation to playing position and performance level. The sample of subjects consisted of 354 players who prepared for the U19 Women’s Volleyball European Championship 2020 (17.4 ± 0.8 years, 1.81 ± 0.07 m, 67.5 ± 7.1 kg). Playing positions analyzed were setters (n = 55), opposites (n = 37), middle blockers (n = 82), outside hitter…
Performance Assessment of Critical Thinking: Conceptualization, Design, and Implementation
2020
Enhancing students’ critical thinking (CT) skills is an essential goal of higher education. This article presents a systematic approach to conceptualizing and measuring CT. CT generally comprises the following mental processes: identifying, evaluating, and analyzing a problem; interpreting information; synthesizing evidence; and reporting a conclusion. We further posit that CT also involves dealing with dilemmas involving ambiguity or conflicts among principles and contradictory information. We argue that performance assessment provides the most realistic—and most credible—approach to measuring CT. From this conceptualization and construct definition, we describe one possible framework for …
Educatio siglo XXI : revista de la Facultad de Educación
2015
La presencialidad obligatoria en Educación Superior y el creciente número de estudiantes con compromisos familiares justifican la necesidad de conocer las opiniones del alumnado con respecto a la conciliación estudiantil-familiar en el contexto universitario. Se adopta una metodología cualitativa mediante narrativas. Participan de la investigación 27 estudiantes de la Universitat de València y 46 de la Universidad de Alicante, del Grado en Maestro de Educación Primaria. Los resultados evidencian limitaciones, dificultades y demandas ante las nuevas exigencias metodológicas y evaluativas, si se tienen cargas familiares. Se concluye con propuestas académicas, legislativas y de implementación …
Automatic crack detection results using a novel device for survey and analysis of road pavement condition
2019
To accurately schedule maintenance operations, it is crucial to monitor the pavement state and, thus, evaluate the structural and functional indices during its entire service life. In particular, surface conditions (cracks, potholes, patches, rutting, etc.) must be properly checked – especially in terms of detection, identification, and classification of distresses – for avoiding reaching dangerous values for users (overpassing safety thresholds). However, monitoring and survey activities can be so costly (not only in economic terms, but further considering the execution time) to discourage their execution, with evident drawbacks for a proper maintenance management and the related intervent…
Expression of emotion through musical parameters in 3- and 5-year-olds
2019
While the use of musical parameters for emotional expression has been extensively studied, little is known about which specific musical parameters children at different ages are able to use for expressing specific emotions. We used a novel interface called Music Box that allows modification of musical parameters while music is being played in real time. Children (N = 37, 18 girls) at the age of 3 and 5 were asked to modify three parameters – tempo, loudness, and pitch – in expressing three emotions – happiness, sadness, and anger. We hypothesised that both 5-year-olds and 3-year-olds could use each of the parameters in differentiating between the emotions. Results showed that 3-year-olds we…
La salida a bolsa de la empresa familiar en el mercado español
2015
La motivación que ha llevado a la realización de esta Tesis Doctoral se apoya sobre dos cuestiones principales, a saber, la importancia y peculiaridad de las empresas de naturaleza familiar y la relevancia y consecuencias en tales organizaciones de la decisión estratégica empresarial de salir a bolsa. Así, por un lado, son diversos los estudios que resaltan el peso de las empresas familiares en la mayoría de las economías desarrolladas y su contribución a nivel económico y social, de modo que se admite de forma generalizada que representan un pilar básico dentro del tejido empresarial a nivel mundial. Esta importancia de la empresa familiar en el mundo no es la única razón que justifica la …

Overview of the JET preparation for deuterium-tritium operation with the ITER like-wall
2019
Documento escrito por un elevado número de autores/as, sólo se referencia el/la que aparece en primer lugar y los/as autores/as pertenecientes a la UC3M For the past several years, the JET scientific programme (Pamela et al 2007 Fusion Eng. Des. 82 590) has been engaged in a multi-campaign effort, including experiments in D, H and T, leading up to 2020 and the first experiments with 50%/50% D–T mixtures since 1997 and the first ever D–T plasmas with the ITER mix of plasma-facing component materials. For this purpose, a concerted physics and technology programme was launched with a view to prepare the D–T campaign (DTE2). This paper addresses the key elements developed by the JET programme d…
