In this paper we report on a first part of a study on the mechanisms leading to brittle fracture in neutron guides made of glass as structural element. Such devices are widely used to deliver thermal and cold neu tron beams to experimental lines in most large neutron research facilities. We present results on macroscopic properties of samples of guide glass substrates which are subjected to neutron irradiation at relatively large fluences. The results show a striking dependence of some of the macroscopic properties such as density, shape or surface curvature upon the specific chemical composition of a given glass. The relevance of the present findings for the installation of either replacement guides at the existing facilities or for the deployment of instruments for ongoing projects such as the European Spallation Source is briefly discussed.

La web ha evolucionado hacia la participación en la creación de contenido tanto por desarrolladores expertos como por usuarios finales sin un gran conocimiento en esta área. A pesar de que su uso es igual de válido y funcional, las diferencias entre la calidad de los productos desarrollados por ambos puede llegar a ser considerable. Esta característica se observa con mayor claridad cuando se analizan los web components. El trabajo consiste en el desarrollo de un entorno capaz de recoger las métricas de calidad de los componentes, basadas en la interacción con ellos por parte de los usuarios. A partir de las métricas obtenidas, se determinará su calidad para realizar una mejora de la misma, en función de las características valoradas. La selección de las métricas se realiza mediante un estudio de las características que definen a un componente, y permiten ser analizadas. Para poder llevar a cabo la construcción del portal, se ha descrito un prototipo capaz de proporcionar un sistema para permitir que los componentes intercambien información entre ellos. El modelo ha sido integrado en los componentes que se han de evaluar para obtener nuevas métricas sobre esta característica. Se ha desarrollado un dashboard que permite la interacción sin limitaciones de los usuarios con los componentes, facilitándoles un sistema para conectar componentes, utilizando para ello el sistema previamente descrito. Como conclusión del trabajo, se puede observar la necesidad de integrar los componentes web en un entorno real para poder determinar su calidad. Debido a que la calidad está determinada por los usuarios que consumen los componentes, se ha de contar con su opinión en la cuantificación de la misma.---ABSTRACT---Recently, the web has evolved to the collaboration between professional developers and end users with limited knowledge to create web content. Although both solutions are correct and functional, the differences in the quality between them can be appreciable. This feature is shown clearly when the web components are analyzed. The work is composed of the development of a virtual environment which is able to pick the quality measures of the components, based on the interaction between these components and the user. The measures are the starting point to decide the quality, and improve them with the rated measures. The measures selection is done through a study of the main features of a component. This selection can be analyzed. In order to create the website, a prototype has been specified to provide a system in which the components can be trade information between them. The interconnection model has been integrated in the components to evaluate. A dashboard has been developed to allow users interacting with the components without rules, making them possible connecting components through the model. The main conclusion of the work is the necessity of integrating web components in a real environment to decide their quality. Due to the fact that the quality is measured in terms of the rate of the users, it is a must to give them the main roles in the establishment of that quality.

De-orbiting satellites at end of mission would prevent generation of new space debris. A proposed de-orbit technology involves a bare conductive tape-tether, which uses neither propellant nor power supply while generating power for on-board use during de-orbiting. The present work shows how to select tape dimensions for a generic mission so as to satisfy requirements of very small tether-to-satellite mass ratio mt/MS and probability Nf of tether cut by small debris, while keeping de-orbit time tf short and product tf ×× tether length low to reduce maneuvers in avoiding collisions with large debris. Design is here discussed for particular missions (initial orbit of 720 km altitude and 63° and 92° inclinations, and 3 disparate MS values, 37.5, 375, and 3750 kg), proving it scalable. At mid-inclination and a mass-ratio of a few percent, de-orbit time takes about 2 weeks and Nf is a small fraction of 1%, with tape dimensions ranging from 1 to 6 cm, 10 to 54 μμm, and 2.8 to 8.6 km. Performance drop from middle to high inclination proved moderate: if allowing for twice as large mt/MS, increases are reduced to a factor of 4 in tf and a slight one in Nf, except for multi-ton satellites, somewhat more requiring because efficient orbital-motion-limited electron collection restricts tape-width values, resulting in tape length (slightly) increasing too.

Este documento presenta las mejoras y las extensiones introducidas en la herramienta de visualización del modelo predictivo del comportamiento del estudiante o Student Behavior Predictor Viewer (SBPV), implementada en un trabajo anterior. El modelo predictivo del comportamiento del estudiante es parte de un sistema inteligente de tutoría, y se construye a partir de los registros de actividad de los estudiantes en un laboratorio virtual 3D, como el Laboratorio Virtual de Biotecnología Agroforestal, implementado en un trabajo anterior, y cuyos registros de actividad de los estudiantes se han utilizado para validar este trabajo fin de grado. El SBPV es una herramienta para visualizar una representación gráfica 2D del grafo extendido asociado con cualquiera de los clusters del modelo predictivo del estudiante. Además de la visualización del grafo extendido, el SBPV controla la navegación a través del grafo por medio del navegador web. Más concretamente, el SBPV permite al usuario moverse a través del grafo, ampliar o reducir el zoom del gráfico o buscar un determinado estado. Además, el SBPV también permite al usuario modificar el diseño predeterminado del grafo en la pantalla al cambiar la posición de los estados con el ratón. Como parte de este trabajo fin de grado, se han corregido errores existentes en la versión anterior y se han introducido una serie de mejoras en el rendimiento y la usabilidad. En este sentido, se han implementado nuevas funcionalidades, tales como la visualización del modelo de comportamiento de cada estudiante individualmente o la posibilidad de elegir el método de clustering para crear el modelo predictivo del estudiante; así como ha sido necesario rediseñar la interfaz de usuario cambiando el tipo de estructuras gráficas con que se muestran los elementos del modelo y mejorando la visualización del grafo al interaccionar el usuario con él. Todas estas mejoras se explican detenidamente en el presente documento.---ABSTRACT---This document presents the improvements and extensions made to the visualization tool Student Behavior Predictor Viewer (SBPV), implemented in a previous job. The student behavior predictive model is part of an intelligent tutoring system, and is built from the records of students activity in a 3D virtual laboratory, like the “Virtual Laboratory of Agroforestry Biotechnology” implemented in a previous work, and whose records of students activity have been used to validate this final degree work. The SBPV is a tool for visualizing a 2D graphical representation of the extended graph associated with any of the clusters of the student predictive model. Apart from visualizing the extended graph, the SBPV supports the navigation across the graph by means of desktop devices. More precisely, the SBPV allows user to move through the graph, to zoom in/out the graphic or to locate a given state. In addition, the SBPV also allows user to modify the default layout of the graph on the screen by changing the position of the states by means of the mouse. As part of this work, some bugs of the previous version have been fixed and some enhancements have been implemented to improve the performance and the usability. In this sense, we have implemented new features, such as the display of the model behavior of only one student or the possibility of selecting the clustering method to create the student predictive model; as well as it was necessary to redesign the user interface changing the type of graphic structures that show model elements and improving the rendering of the graph when the user interacts with it. All these improvements are explained in detail in the next sections.
