Tracking the evolution of waste recycling research using overlay maps of science

Tracking the evolution of research in waste recycling science (WRS) can be valuable for environmental agencies, as well as for recycling businesses. Maps of science are visual, easily readable representations of the cognitive structure of a branch of science, a particular area of research or the global spectrum of scientific production. They are generally built upon evidence collected from reliable sources of information, such as patent and scientific publication databases. This study uses the methodology developed by Rafols et al. (2010) to make a “double overlay map” of WRS upon a basemap reflecting the cognitive structure of all journal-published science, for the years 2005 and 2010. The analysis has taken into account the cognitive areas where WRS articles are published and the areas from where it takes its intellectual nourishing, paying special attention to the growing trends of the key areas. Interpretation of results lead to the conclusion that extraction of energy from waste will probably be an important research topic in the future, along with developments in general chemistry and chemical engineering oriented to the recovery of valuable materials from waste. Agricultural and material sciences, together with the combined economics, politics and geography field, are areas with which WRS shows a relevant and ever increasing cognitive relationship.

The Object Agreement Restriction

[EN]This paper deals with the so-called Person Case Constraint (Bonet, 1991), a universal constraint blocking accusative clitics and object agreement morphemes other than third person when a dative is inserted in the same clitic/agreement cluster. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we argue that the scope of the PCC is considerably broader than assumed in previous work, and that neither its formulation in terms of person (1st/2nd vs. 3rd)-case (accusative vs. dative) restrictions nor its morphological nature are part of the right descriptive generalization.We present evidence (i) that the PCC is triggered by the presence of an animacy feature in the object’s agreement set; (ii) that it is not case dependent, also showing up in languages that lack dative case; and (iii) that it is not morphologically bound. Second, we argue that the PCC, even if it is modified accordingly, still puts together two different properties of the agreement system that should be set apart: (i) a cross linguistic sensitivity of object agreement to animacy and (ii) a similarly widespread restriction on multiple object agreement observed crosslinguistically. These properties lead us to propose a new generalization, the Object Agreement Constraint (OAC): if the verbal complex encodes object agreement, no other argument can be licensed through verbal agreement.

Estudio y desarrollo de un asistente (wizard) para la generación de interfaces de usuario abstractas en entornos ubicuos.

En el presente proyecto se pretende desarrollar una herramienta, que tiene como objetivo asistir a diseñadores de servicios ubicuos en el proceso de generación de interfaces abstractas de usuario para entornos ubicuos. Esta herramienta facilita la tarea a los diseñadores eliminando la necesidad de que conozcan la sintaxis UIML de descripción de interfaces de usuario, ya que el documento que guarda dicha descripción se genera automáticamente tras la utilización del asistente. Este asistente permite también, enriquecer dichas descripciones ofreciendo la posibilidad de asociar a los diferentes objetos abstractos de interacción que componen la interfaz, distintos tipos de recursos multimedia. El documento UIML generado se integra en el sistema Egoki, proporcionándole la entrada necesaria para generar interfaces de usuario accesibles y adaptadas a las necesidades de las personas que desean utilizar los servicios ubicuos.

Cliente UCH para smartphones sobre Android

El objetivo del proyecto consiste en la creación de una aplicación cliente de UCH para Android, capaz de controlar “dispositivos objetivos”. Teniendo como base el PFC de Borja Gamecho, titulado “Estudio del estándar URC y su aplicación a sistemas embebidos usando una implementación Java del UCH”, proyecto que pertenece al campo de la inteligencia ambiental (AmI). La construcción de un sistema capaz de controlar dispositivos de manera sencilla y ubicua fue la motivación para la realización de este proyecto, ya que con él, se puede conseguir un control universal de nuestro entorno, permitiendo eliminar barreras por ejemplo, para personas con discapacidad. En este proyecto se ha estudiado el centro de control universal (UCH) junto con el protocolo URC-HTTP. También se ha investigado sobre la plataforma Android, para posteriormente usarlo como base para el desarrollo de un URC (cliente para el control del UCH y del entorno). Como principal conclusión, el presente trabajo permite avanzar en la propuesta de encontrar un estándar capaz de controlar nuestro entorno desde cualquier smartphone, tablet,... de forma ubicua y sencilla.

PPs without Disguises: Reply to Bruening

[EN]Bresnan and Nikitina (2009) and Rappaport Hovav and Levin (2008) show that, contrary to standard assumptions, fixed-theme idioms may appear in to-constructions under certain pragmatic circumstances. Bruening (2010a) contends that the cases they present are in fact R(ightward)-dative shifts, double object constructions with the object projected to the right. In this article, we argue that Bruening’s proposed theoretical apparatus is unnecessarily complex and ad hoc and falls short of explaining the main facts it is supposed to deal with, massively overgenerating. A regular PP structure is argued to be empirically more adequate and conceptually simpler, avoiding the main problems of the R-dative shift analysis. New empirical evidence concerning pairlist readings and scope freezing also suggests that the empirical facts about idioms should be reconsidered in completely different terms.

A rational fraction polynomials model to study vertical dynamic wheel-rail interaction

This paper presents a model designed to study vertical interactions between wheel and rail when the wheel moves over a rail welding. The model focuses on the spatial domain, and is drawn up in a simple fashion from track receptances. The paper obtains the receptances from a full track model in the frequency domain already developed by the authors, which includes deformation of the rail section and propagation of bending, elongation and torsional waves along an infinite track. Transformation between domains was secured by applying a modified rational fraction polynomials method. This obtains a track model with very few degrees of freedom, and thus with minimum time consumption for integration, with a good match to the original model over a sufficiently broad range of frequencies. Wheel-rail interaction is modelled on a non-linear Hertzian spring, and consideration is given to parametric excitation caused by the wheel moving over a sleeper, since this is a moving wheel model and not a moving irregularity model. The model is used to study the dynamic loads and displacements emerging at the wheel-rail contact passing over a welding defect at different speeds.

A note on bargaining power and managerial delegation in multimarket oligopolies

In a two-stage delegation game model with Nash bargaining between a manager and an owner, an equivalence result is found between this game and Fershtman and Judd's strategic delegation game (Fershtman and Judd, 1987). Interestingly, although both games are equivalent in terms of profits under certain conditions, managers obtain greater rewards in the bargaining game. This results in a redistribution of profits between owners and managers.

Tension and Ampacity Monitoring System for Overhead Lines

Real time monitoring allows the determination of the line state and the calculation of the actual rating value. The real time monitoring systems measure sag, conductor tension, conductor temperature or weather related magnitudes. In this paper, a new ampacity monitoring system for overhead lines, based on the conductor tension, the ambient temperature, the solar radiation and the current intensity, is presented. The measurements are transmitted via GPRS to a control center where a software program calculates the ampacity value. The system takes into account the creep deformation experienced by the conductors during their lifetime and calibrates the tension-temperature reference and the maximum allowable temperature in order to obtain the ampacity. The system includes both hardware implementation and remote control software.
