Computational imaging with a balanced detector
2016
Single-pixel cameras allow to obtain images in a wide range of challenging scenarios, including broad regions of the electromagnetic spectrum and through scattering media. However, there still exist several drawbacks that single-pixel architectures must address, such as acquisition speed and imaging in the presence of ambient light. In this work we introduce balanced detection in combination with simultaneous complementary illumination in a single-pixel camera. This approach enables to acquire information even when the power of the parasite signal is higher than the signal itself. Furthermore, this novel detection scheme increases both the frame rate and the signal-to-noise ratio of the sys…
Development of novel dipeptide-like rhodesain inhibitors containing the 3-bromoisoxazoline warhead in a constrained conformation.
2015
Novel dipeptide-like rhodesain inhibitors containing the 3-bromoisoxazoline warhead in a constrained conformation were developed; some of them possess K(i) values in the micromolar range. We studied the structure-activity relationship of these derivatives and we performed docking studies, which allowed us to find out the key interactions established by the inhibitors with the target enzyme. Biological results indicate that the nature of the P2 and P3 substituents and their binding to the S2/S3 pockets is strictly interdependent.
Edutec : revista electrónica de tecnología educativa
2014
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave en español y en inglés Se investiga la percepción del uso de juegos de simulación entre estudiantes universitarios evidenciando los factores que determinan su eficacia como herramienta pedagógica. Para ello, se ha diseñado un curso donde se han utilizado simulaciones de gestión desarrolladas por el MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Se describe la finalidad de la experiencia y se analizan los fundamentos del juego de simulación como herramienta pedagógica. Mediante el uso de cuestionarios se recogen las opiniones que expresa el alumnado sobre esta metodología. Se concluye que el realismo del juego de simulación…
Simulación clínica en pediatría y neonatología: adaptación telemática del proyecto de innovación educativa
2021
[EN] Introduction: Framed within an educational innovation project in the nursing degree, we introduce the application of realistic scenarios, generated through the EDISON tool to deal with topics such as pediatric and neonatal CPR. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, an adaptation of the project to the telematic modality was proposed. Methodology: Analytical exploratory study where the effectiveness of a training intervention in a confinement context was evaluated. It was based on the use of audiovisual materials created through EDISON that configured a VideoBook that was made available to students through the Virtual Platform, evaluating its effectiveness through the final exam of the subject. …
Simulación de un proceso industrial de cristalización de Cloruro de Sodio (NaCl) y aplicaciones
2014
RESUMEN: La cristalización a partir de disoluciones es importante industrialmente dada la gran variedad de sustancias que se comercializan cristalizadas. Para mejorar la enseñanza aprendizaje de esta Operación Básica, en este trabajo, realizado como Trabajo Fin de Carrera de Ingeniería Química, se ha implementado un programa de simulación de una cristalización, partiendo de los datos de una cristalización industrial de NaCl. El objetivo ha sido manejar herramientas de cálculo para simular y optimizar esta operación, lo que permite conocer más profundamente el proceso de la cristalización y la utilización de las herramientas de cálculo, es decir, utilizar simultáneamente los conocimientos ad…
LaboratorioRPGDocente: Un game-based learning para combatir la situación causada por la COVID-19 en instituciones educativas.
2021
[EN] Due to the pandemic caused by COVID-19, several educational institutions have been forced to close their facilities, and practical courses -such as laboratory practices- were impossible to carry out. Game-based learning can be found among many different digital learning techniques, and it consists in teaching the contents as a transversal inmersive element. This work will be focused on a simulation videogame, which allows the students to understand the simulated environment and to develop certain skills based on their interaction with the game interface. One of the main characteristics of these kind of video games is their high degree of realism. More specifically, in this project, stu…
Understanding the shortcomings of commodity-based technology in input-output models: an economic-circuit approach
2004
International audience; The Make-Use Model serves as a basis for most national accounting systems as the System of National Accounts (SNA) and is acknowledged as the most suitable model for interregional analysis. Two hypotheses are traditionally made featuring either industry-based technologies (IBT) or commodity-based technologies (CBT). While industry-based technologies can be easily interpreted in terms of a demand-driven economic circuit, it will be shown that: (1) commodity-based technologies cannot be interpreted as a demand-driven economic circuit because this involves computing the inverse of a matrix (the matrix of industry output proportions), which is either impossible or genera…
An experience of elicited inquiry elucidating the electron transport in semiconductor crystals
2016
In this study we report the results of an inquiry-driven learning path experienced by a sample of 10 electronic engineering students, engaged to investigate the electron transport in semiconductors. The undergraduates were first instructed by following a lecture-based class on condensed matter physics and then involved into an inquiry based path of simulative explorations. The students were invited by two instructors to explore the electron dynamics in a semiconductor bulk by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The students, working in group, had to design their own procedure of exploration, as expected in a traditional guided inquiry. But they experienced several difficulties on planning and…
Modelling the insect Mushroom Bodies: Application to sequence learning
2015
Learning and reproducing temporal sequences is a fundamental ability used by living beings to adapt behaviour repertoire to environmental constraints. This paper is focused on the description of a model based on spiking neurons, able to learn and autonomously generate a sequence of events. The neural architecture is inspired by the insect Mushroom Bodies (MBs) that are a crucial centre for multimodal sensory integration and behaviour modulation. The sequence learning capability coexists, within the insect brain computational model, with all the other features already addressed like attention, expectation, learning classification and others. This is a clear example that a unique neural struc…
Setting the Stage: How to Perform Intracoronary Pressure Measurements
2016
FFR has become an established technology, and alternative approaches, like the instantaneous flow reserve (iFR), are currently being validated. FFR and iFR are generally easy to perform and interpret, but, as with all other technologies, oversimplification also carries risks. In the first chapter of this book, we present the basics of FFR measurements, including basic tips and tricks, and a short introduction to the devices available on the market.
