We introduce an easily computable topological measure which locates the effective crossover between segregation and integration in a modular network. Segregation corresponds to the degree of network modularity, while integration is expressed in terms of the algebraic connectivity of an associated hypergraph. The rigorous treatment of the simplified case of cliques of equal size that are gradually rewired until they become completely merged, allows us to show that this topological crossover can be made to coincide with a dynamical crossover from cluster to global synchronization of a system of coupled phase oscillators. The dynamical crossover is signaled by a peak in the product of the measures of intracluster and global synchronization, which we propose as a dynamical measure of complexity. This quantity is much easier to compute than the entropy (of the average frequencies of the oscillators), and displays a behavior which closely mimics that of the dynamical complexity index based on the latter. The proposed topological measure simultaneously provides information on the dynamical behavior, sheds light on the interplay between modularity and total integration, and shows how this affects the capability of the network to perform both local and distributed dynamical tasks.

Para el análisis de la respuesta estructural, tradicionalmente se ha partido de la suposición de que los nudos son totalmente rígidos o articulados. Este criterio facilita en gran medida los cálculos, pero no deja de ser una idealización del comportamiento real de las uniones. Como es lógico, entre los nudos totalmente rígidos y los nudos articulados existe una gama infinita de valores de rigidez que podrían ser adoptados. A las uniones que presentan un valor distinto de los canónicos se les denomina en sentido general uniones semirrígidas. La consideración de esta rigidez intermedia complica considerablemente los cálculos estructurales, no obstante provoca cambios en el reparto de esfuerzos dentro de la estructura, así como en la configuración de las propias uniones, que en ciertas circunstancias pueden suponer una ventaja económica. Del planteamiento expuesto en el párrafo anterior, surgen dos cuestiones que serán el germen de la tesis. Estas son: ¿Qué ocurre si se aplica el concepto de uniones semirrígidas a las naves industriales? ¿Existen unos valores determinados de rigidez en sus nudos con los que se logra optimizar la estructura? Así, surge el objetivo principal de la tesis, que no es otro que conocer la influencia de la rigidez de los nudos en los costes de los pórticos a dos aguas de estructura metálica utilizados típicamente en edificios de uso agroindustrial. Para alcanzar el objetivo propuesto, se plantea una metodología de trabajo que básicamente consiste en el estudio de una muestra representativa de pórticos sometidos a tres estados de carga: bajo, medio y alto. Su rango de luces abarca desde los 8 a los 20 m y el de la altura de pilares desde los 3,5 a los 10 m. Además, se considera que sus uniones pueden adoptar valores intermedios de rigidez. De la combinatoria de las diferentes configuraciones posibles se obtienen 46.656 casos que serán objeto de estudio. Debido al fin economicista del trabajo, se ha prestado especial atención a la obtención de los costes de ejecución de las diferentes partidas que componen la estructura, incluidas las correspondientes a las uniones. Para acometer los cálculos estructurales ha sido imprescindible contar con un soporte informático, tanto existente como de creación ex profeso, que permitiese su automatización en un contexto de optimización. Los resultados del estudio consisten básicamente en una cantidad importante de datos que para su interpretación se hace imprescindible tratarlos previamente. Este tratamiento se fundamenta en su ordenación sistemática, en la aplicación de técnicas estadísticas y en la representación gráfica. Con esto se obtiene un catálogo de gráficos en los que se representa el coste total de la estructura según los diferentes valores de rigidez de sus nudos, unas matrices resumen de resultados y unos modelos matemáticos que representan la función coste total - rigideces de nudos. Como conclusiones se puede destacar: por un lado que los costes totales de los pórticos estudiados son mínimos cuando los valores de rigidez de sus uniones son bajos, concretamente de 5•10³ a 10•10³ kN•m/rad; y por otro que la utilización en estas estructuras de uniones semirrígidas con una combinación idónea de sus rigideces, supone una ventaja económica media del 18% con respecto a las dos tipologías que normalmente se usan en este tipo de edificaciones como son los pórticos biempotrados y los biarticulados. ABSTRACT Analyzing for structural response, traditionally it started from the assumption that joints are fully rigid or pinned. This criterion makes the design significantly easier, but it is also an idealization of real joint behaviour. As is to be expected, there is an almost endless range of stiffnes value between fully rigid and pinned joints, wich could be adopted. Joints with a value other than traditional are referred to generally as semi-rigid joints. If middle stiffness is considered, the structural design becomes much more complicated, however, it causes changes in the distribution of frame stresses, as well as on joints configuration, that under certain circumstances they may suppose an economic advantage. Two questions arise from the approach outlined in the preceding subparagraph, wich are the seeds of the doctoral thesis. These are: what happens when the concept of semirigid joints is applied to industrial buildings? There are certain stiffness values in their joints with which optimization of frame is achieved? This way, the main objective of the thesis arise, which is to know the influence of stiffness of joints in the cost of the steel frames with gabled roof, that they are typically used in industrial buildings. In order to achieve the proposed goal, a work methodology is proposed, which consists in essence in a study of a representative sample of frames under three load conditions: low, middle and high. Their range of spans comprises from 8 to 20 m and range of the height of columns cover from 3,5 to 10 m. Furthermore, it is considered that their joints can adopt intermediate values of stiffness. The result of the combination of different configurations options is 46.656 cases, which will be subject of study. Due to the economic aim of this work, a particular focus has been devoted for obtaining the execution cost of the different budget items that make up the structure, including those relating to joints. In order to do the structural calculations, count with a computing support has been indispensable, existing and created expressly for this purpose, which would allows its automation in a optimization context. The results of the study basically consist in a important amount of data, whose previous processing is necesary. This process is based on his systematic arrangement, in implementation of statistical techniques and in graphical representation. This give a catalogue of graphics, which depicts the whole cost of structure according to the different stiffness of its joints, a matrixes with the summary of results and a mathematical models which represent the function whole cost - stiffness of the joints. The most remarkable conclusions are: whole costs of the frames studied are minimum when the stiffness values of their joints are low, specifically 5•10³ a 10•10³ kN•m/rad; and the use of structures with semi-rigid joints and a suitable combination of their stiffness implyes an average economic advantage of 18% over other two typologies which are used typically in this kind of buildings; these are the rigid and bi-articulated frames.

The Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System OSIRIS is the scientific camera system onboard the Rosetta spacecraft (Figure 1). The advanced high performance imaging system will be pivotal for the success of the Rosetta mission. OSIRIS will detect 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko from a distance of more than 106 km, characterise the comet shape and volume, its rotational state and find a suitable landing spot for Philae, the Rosetta lander. OSIRIS will observe the nucleus, its activity and surroundings down to a scale of ~2 cm px−1. The observations will begin well before the onset of cometary activity and will extend over months until the comet reaches perihelion. During the rendezvous episode of the Rosetta mission, OSIRIS will provide key information about the nature of cometary nuclei and reveal the physics of cometary activity that leads to the gas and dust coma. OSIRIS comprises a high resolution Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) unit and a Wide Angle Camera (WAC) unit accompanied by three electronics boxes. The NAC is designed to obtain high resolution images of the surface of comet 7P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko through 12 discrete filters over the wavelength range 250–1000 nm at an angular resolution of 18.6 μrad px−1. The WAC is optimised to provide images of the near-nucleus environment in 14 discrete filters at an angular resolution of 101 μrad px−1. The two units use identical shutter, filter wheel, front door, and detector systems. They are operated by a common Data Processing Unit. The OSIRIS instrument has a total mass of 35 kg and is provided by institutes from six European countries
