Decentralized classification in societies of autonomous and heterogenous robots
2011
This paper addresses the classification problem for a set of autonomous robots that interact with each other. The objective is to classify agents that “behave” in “different way”, due to their own physical dynamics or to the interaction protocol they are obeying to, as belonging to different “species”. This paper describes a technique that allows a decentralized classification system to be built in a systematic way, once the hybrid models describing the behavior of the different species are given. This technique is based on a decentralized identification mechanism, by which every agent classifies its neighbors using only local information. By endowing every agent with such a local classifie…
Protocol: A literature review about the use of crowdsourcing in educational environments
2016
<p>The objective with the protocol described in this paper is to review the existing literature in relation to the implementation of crowdsourcing in educational environments. It seeks to give answer to 4 questions. First, it seeks to answer the question of which kind of crowdsourcing initiatives are more appropriate to be used for educational activities. In second place it’s important to find out whether there is any particular discipline in which crowdsourcing, by its nature, can be applied more naturally. Third, it seeks to identify which factors influence both positively and negatively in the teaching/learning experience using crowdsourcing. Finally, the last question to answer, t…
A distributed visualization system for crowd simulations1
2011
The visualization system of large-scale crowd simulations should scale up with both the number of visuals views of the virtual world and the number of agents displayed in each visual. Otherwise, we could have large scale crowd simulations where only a small percentage of the population is displayed. Several approaches have been proposed in order to efficiently render crowds of animated characters. However, these approaches either render crowds animated with simple behaviors or they can only support a few hundreds of user-driven entities. In this paper, we propose a distributed visualization system for large crowds of autonomous agents that allows the visualization of crowds animated with co…
An Initial Security Analysis of the Personal Transaction Protocol
2003
Our society is becoming increasingly dependent on the rapid access and processing of information. The number of handheld mobile devices with access to the Internet and network-based software and services is exploding. Research indicates [1] that by the end of 2002 there will be over 1 billion mobile phone owners globally with Internet access, and that this number is going to grow exponentially in the nearest future. By 2006 the number of interconnected mobile device users is expected exceed the worldwide Internet subscriber population. It is estimated that in a few years there will be three times as many of these devices worldwide as personal computers.
Acoustic, myoelectric, and aerodynamic parameters of euphonic and dysphonic voices: a systematic review of clinical studies
2021
Background: At present, there is no clinical consensus on the concept of normal and dysphonic voices. For many years, the establishment of a consensus on the terminology related to normal and pathological voices has been studied, in order to facilitate the communication between professionals in the field of the voice. Aim: systematically review the literature to compare and learn more precisely the measurable and objective characteristics of the acoustic, aerodynamic and surface electromyographic parameters of the normal and dysphonic voices. Methods: The PRISMA 2020 methodology was used as a review protocol together with the PICO procedure to answer the research question through six databa…
Arbitraje, Protocolo y Empresa Familiar, desde el Derecho de Familia, la Unión Europea y la Diplomacia Económica Internacional. El método ARBICOF.
2015
Esta obra aborda, de forma novedosa (por lo escasamente tratada), la problemática de las empresas familiares y del Protocolo Familiar desde el prisma del Derecho de Familia y lo hace de una forma absolutamente práctica. Para conseguirlo, la autora aporta su experiencia y amplio bagaje profesional como abogada de Derecho de Familia durante más de 20 años al frente de su propio despacho. Con esta investigación, la importancia de la rama del Derecho de Familia es reivindicada sumándose a la transversalidad jurídica que adorna a este tipo de sociedades y que vienen siendo estudiadas tradicionalmente desde las ópticas del Derecho Mercantil, Fiscal y Sindical, principalmente. Con este estudio se …
Orthognathic surgery and aligners. A comparative assessment of periodontal health and quality of life in postsurgical orthodontic treatment with alig…
2023
Removable clear aligners have become very popular in the last few decades, but they are still little used in the field of orthognathic surgery (OS). The objective of this study was to compare periodontal health and quality of life (QoL) associated to postsurgical orthodontic treatment. Patients with dentofacial deformities undergoing OS were randomly allocated to receive postsurgical orthodontic treatment with either fixed orthodontic appliances or Invisalign. The main outcomes were periodontal health and QoL. Plaque index, probing depth and bleeding on probing were assessed as periodontal health indicators. QoL was assessed through the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ-22) a…
COVID-19 Pandemic: New Prevention and Protection Measures
2022
As of the end of February 2021, more than 420,000,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported worldwide, with 5,856,224 deaths. Transmission of the different genetically engineered variants of SARS-CoV-2, which have been isolated since the beginning of the pandemic, occurs from one infected person to another by the same means: the airborne route, indirect contact, and occasionally the fecal–oral route. Infection is asymptomatic or may present with flulike symptoms such as fever, cough, and mild to moderate and severe respiratory distress, requiring hospitalization and assisted ventilation support. To control the spread of COVID-19, the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for …
Lo scettro alla prefettocrazia: l'indefinita pervasività del sottosistema antimafia delle grandi opere e il caso emblematico della 'filiera'
2013
Il contributo analizza in via critica le disposizioni contenute nel codice antimafia, volte ad apprestare misure di contrasto alla criminalità organizzata. SEbbene tale obiettivo sia pprezzabile, l?a. manifesta perplessità in ordine ad una generalizzazione delle misure di tutela preventiva, con particolare riferimento al caso dell "filiera"
Protocolo de germinación de esporas y caracterización del desarrollo de los gametofitos de Asplenium majoricum Litard. (ASPLENIACEAE)
2017
Los planes de conservación de flora amenazada incluyen acciones que requieren la conservación de esporas a largo plazo en bancos de germoplasma y la determinación de protocolos de germinación y cultivo de plántulas para la obtención de planta. En los helechos el estudio de la respuesta germinativa y desarrollo gametofítico es fundamental para tener éxito en las labores de propagación orientadas a los programas de refuerzo y reintroducción. Este trabajo se ha cofinanciado por la Generalitat Valenciana (Consellería de Agricultura, Medio Ambiente, Cambio Climático y Desarrollo Rural, Servicio de Biodiversidad) y la Universitat de València.
