Dynamic QoS management for multimedia real-time transmission in industrial environments
2007
The use of multimedia within industrial applications has become commonplace, targetting improved process monitoring and machine vision. In both cases, the multimedia information is commonly distributed and subject to time constraints that must be met across networks while avoiding untolerable interference over typical control flows. This can be achieved with Constant Bit-Rate (CBR) channels, typically supported by real-time protocols. However, the compressors used to reduce the amount of information to transfer generate Variable Bit-Rate (VBR) patterns. Adapting a VBR source to a CBR channel requires specific care in order to avoid wasting channel bandwidth or dropping video frames. This pa…

A study of mobility and reachability in ad hoc networks using stochastic activity networks
2006
The integration of ad-hoc networks into real environments is now becoming more and more common and supervision and control systems are no exception. The efficiency of the communication in these networks as well as various other factors, are governed by the working area, the number of nodes, mobility, transmission power, etc. In this paper, the mobility and reachability of mobile nodes appearing spontaneously in a large installation such as can be found in a water purification system are studied. These nodes form an ad-hoc network and communicate between each other in order to finally reach a fixed node which can offer them information from the rest of the system in real time or act as a gat…
Indemnización y trabajador en excedencia afectado en expediente de regulación de empleo
2021
espanolEn este trabajo se realiza un analisis de los derechos del trabajador en excedencia voluntaria que se encuentra afectado en un expediente de regulacion de empleo, concretamente, del derecho a recibir la correspondiente indemnizacion por despido colectivo o no. La doctrina judicial y jurisprudencial ha negado que el trabajador excedente incurso en un expediente de regulacion de empleo tenga derecho a la misma. No obstante, ello va unido a la posicion que se tenga sobre la naturaleza juridica de la excedencia voluntaria, aspecto debatido entre la doctrina, tanto cientifica como judicial. En este sentido, una linea doctrinal ha considerado que la excedencia voluntaria tiene un caracter …
Enabling Backoff for SCM Wake-Up Radio: Protocol and Modeling
2017
In sub-carrier modulation (SCM) wake-up radio (WuR) enabled wireless sensor networks, a node can initiate data transmission at any instant of time. In this letter, we propose to activate a backoff procedure before sending wake-up calls (WuCs) in order to avoid potential collisions among WuCs. Consequently, no backoff is needed for the main radio after a WuC is received. A discrete-time Markov chain model is developed to evaluate the performance. Numerical results on network throughput, energy efficiency, average delay, and collision probability reveal the benefits of enabling backoff for SCM-WuRs, especially under heavy traffic loads or saturated traffic conditions.
Recommendations for eye care during the alarm state by the coronavirus disease pandemic COVID-19.
2020
Abstract Objective Minimize exposure to the SARS-CoV-2, reduce the chances of cross-transmission between patients and healthcare personnel, and prevent the development of postoperative complications from the management of patients with eye diseases during the 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19). Methods COVID-19 literature review and consensus establishment between different Spanish ophthalmology societies in order to provide guidelines and recommendations of maximum resources primarily conditioned by the state of alert, confinement and social distancing that occurs in Spain since March 16, 2020. Results The recommendations will promote the adoption of action and protection measure…
Correcting the effect of stellar spots on ARIEL transmission spectra
2020
The goal of this study is to assess the impact of the stellar spots on the extraction of the planetary transmission spectra observed by ARIEL. We develop a method to model the stellar spectrum of a star in the presence of spots by using the out-of-transit observations. It is based on a chi squared minimization procedure of the out-of-transit spectrum on a grid of stellar spectra with different sizes and temperatures of the spots. The approach allows us also to study the temporal evolution of the spots when comparing stellar spectra observed at different epochs. We also present a method to correct the transit depth variations due to non-occulted stellar spots and estimate the error we introd…
High Sensitivity Refractive Index Sensor Based on Highly Overcoupled Tapered Fiber Optic Couplers
2017
In this paper, a simple and compact fiber-optic sensor based on an overcoupled tapered fiber coupler is studied. The coupler is fabricated to be operated well beyond the initial coupling cycles, where the rapid exchange of energy between outputs ports enable the fabrication of a highly sensitive device. The suitability and sensitivity of the proposed scheme is demonstrated by measuring refractive index (RI) variations of sugar concentrations in water. The device presents a linear response in terms of power transmission or wavelength shift versus RI changes. The best achieved sensitivity is 0.442 units of normalized transmission per unit of sugar concentration, with a noise detection limit o…
Synthesis of self-assembled mesoporous 3D In2O3 hierarchical micro flowers composed of nanosheets and their electrochemical properties
2018
This report describes the methodology for the fabrication of mesoporous In2O3 microflowers by hydrothermal and calcination procedures in which In(OH)3/In2S3 acts as an intermediate. Both In2O3 and its precursor were analyzed with scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. BET surface area, pore size and pore volume analyses were also carried out. Electron microscopy images clearly evidence the self-assembly of 2D nanosheets into the micro flower structure. The mechanism of self-assembly and calcination is reported. Electrochemical properties of the synthesized In2O3 micro flowers were studied.
An E-plane EBG waveguide for dispersion compensated transmission of short pulses
2007
The resolution of radar applications can significantly suffer from pulse broadening along the propagation in homogeneous hollow waveguides. The latter occurs due to the strongly dispersive nature of the fast waves in the waveguides. A low-cost solution to this problem is here proposed, employing an EBG type of waveguide, compatible with traditional E-plane fabrication techniques. By means of an example, here we demonstrate the reduction of the pulse spreading as it propagates along this type of waveguide.
