Autonomia Local, Equilibri Pressupostari i Sostenibilitat Financera

2021

En aquest escenari, resulta indefugible i certament pertinent realitzar una avaluació sobre l'impacte que s'ha derivat de les vigents polítiques de control del dèficit i del deute públic sobre el règim de les EELL, en termes de la seua incidència sobre l’autonomia local. Les limitacions i els mecanismes de supervisió -tant formals com materials- que s'han anat reforçant gradualment amb vista a la consolidació d'un major control dels comptes públics locals per part dels organismes estatals particularment -i dels autonòmics, en menor mesura-, transcendeixen a l'abast i al mateix contingut d'un conjunt de principis, instruments i conceptes essencials entre els quals destaquen els d’autonomia l…

Growing the practice of vocal sketching

2015

Sketch-thinking in the design domain is a complex representational activity, emerging from the reflective conversation with the sketch. A recent line of research on computational support for sound design has been focusing on the exploitation of voice, and especially vocal imitations, as effective representation strategy for the early stage of the design process. A set of introductory exercises on vocal sketching, to probe the communication effectiveness of vocal imitations for design purposes, are presented and discussed, in the scope of the research-through-design workshop activities of the EU project SkAT-VG

Sketching sonic interactions by imitation-driven sound synthesis

2016

Sketching is at the core of every design activity. In visual design, pencil and paper are the preferred tools to produce sketches for their simplicity and immediacy. Analogue tools for sonic sketching do not exist yet, although voice and gesture are embodied abilities commonly exploited to communicate sound concepts. The EU project SkAT-VG aims to support vocal sketching with computeraided technologies that can be easily accessed, understood and controlled through vocal and gestural imitations. This imitation-driven sound synthesis approach is meant to overcome the ephemerality and timbral limitations of human voice and gesture, allowing to produce more refined sonic sketches and to think a…

Measuring the Task Induced Oscillatory Brain Activity Using Tensor Decomposition

2019

The characterization of dynamic electrophysiological brain activity, which form and dissolve in order to support ongoing cognitive function, is one of the most important goals in neuroscience. Here, we introduce a method with tensor decomposition for measuring the task-induced oscillations in the human brain using electroencephalography (EEG). The time frequency representation of source-reconstructed singletrail EEG data constructed a third-order tensor with three factors of time ∗ trails, frequency and source points. We then used a non-negative Canonical Polyadic decomposition (NCPD) to identify the temporal, spectral and spatial changes in electrophysiological brain activity. We validate …

Avant-propos. Hors-série n° 9 | 2016 : Géolocalisation et sources anciennes ?

2016

En lien avec les préoccupations actuelles de notre société, le géoréférencement et la géolocalisation des individus, des faits et des objets constituent aujourd’hui des variables incontournables et un paramètre principal de toute information.

Governance della crisi e importanza del territorio per lo sviluppo regionale

2012

The aim of this paper is a reflection on the role of space in the processes of economic change. Starting in the United States the financial and economic crisis infected Europe after 2007. A wider debate on the current differential role of governments in the U.S. and Europe in addressing the crisis has emerged. The bailout programs in the U.S. have made reference to a unitary and homogeneous reference frame in the presence of a central bank whose broad mandate includes development goals. Europe, instead, has shown a different scenario and the same financial integration project depends on the complex relationship between individuals and the community, national sovereignty and increasingly bin…

Comparison of local electrochemical impedance measurements derived frombi-electrode and microcapillary techniques

2009

Abstract In the present paper, local electrochemical impedance spectra were obtained on a 316L stainless steel from two configurations: a dual microelectrode (bi-electrode) and microcapillaries. With the bi-electrode, the local impedance measurements were made from the ratio of the applied voltage to the local current density calculated from the application of the ohm's law. With the use of microelectrochemical cells, the specimen surface area in contact with the electrolyte is limited by the use of glass microcapillaries and the local impedance was defined from the ratio of the local potential to the local current restricted to the analysed surface area. Differences and similarities observ…
