Detección automática de presencia/ausencia de atún en imágenes obtenidas mediante sonar de largo alcance a bordo de buques pesqueros y aplicación de Optical Character Recognition (OCR) para la extracción de parámetros

En esta tesis de máster se presenta una metodología para el análisis automatizado de las señales del sonar de largo alcance y una aplicación basada en la técnica de reconocimiento óptico de Optical Character Recognition, caracteres (OCR). La primera contribución consiste en el análisis de imágenes de sonar mediante técnicas de procesamiento de imágenes. En este proceso, para cada imagen de sonar se extraen y se analizan las regiones medibles, obteniendo para cada región un conjunto de características. Con la ayuda de los expertos, cada región es identi cada en una clase (atún o no-atún). De este modo, mediante el aprendizaje supervisado se genera la base de datos y, a su vez, se obtiene un modelo de clasi cación. La segunda contribución es una aplicación OCR que reconoce y extrae de las capturas de pantalla de imágenes de sonar, los caracteres alfanuméricos correspondientes a los parámetros de situación (velocidad, rumbo, localización GPS) y la confi guración de sonar (ganancias, inclinación, ancho del haz). El objetivo de este proceso es el de maximizar la e ficiencia en la detección de atún en el Golfo de Vizcaya y dar el primer paso hacia el desarrollo de un índice de abundancia de esta especie, el cual esté basado en el procesamiento automático de las imágenes de sonar grabadas a bordo de la ota pesquera durante su actividad pesquera rutinaria.

Group size and decision rules in legislative bargaining

We conduct experiments to investigate the effects of different majority requirements on bargaining outcomes in small and large groups. In particular, we use a Baron-Ferejohn protocol and investigate the effects of decision rules on delay (number of bargaining rounds needed to reach agreement) and measures of "fairness" (inclusiveness of coalitions, equality of the distribution within a coalition). We find that larger groups and unanimity rule are associated with significantly larger decision making costs in the sense that first round proposals more often fail, leading to more costly delay. The higher rate of failure under unanimity rule and in large groups is a combination of three facts: (1) in these conditions, a larger number of individuals must agree, (2) an important fraction of individuals reject offers below the equal share, and (3) proposers demand more (relative to the equal share) in large groups.

The Forbidden Quantum Adder

Quantum information provides fundamentally different computational resources than classical information. We prove that there is no unitary protocol able to add unknown quantum states belonging to different Hilbert spaces. This is an inherent restriction of quantum physics that is related to the impossibility of copying an arbitrary quantum state, i.e., the no-cloning theorem. Moreover, we demonstrate that a quantum adder, in absence of an ancillary system, is also forbidden for a known orthonormal basis. This allows us to propose an approximate quantum adder that could be implemented in the lab. Finally, we discuss the distinct character of the forbidden quantum adder for quantum states and the allowed quantum adder for density matrices.

Financial and Economic Report of a Specific Business Group

As a result of the natural evolution of the economy, ever-changing, unpredictable and cyclical, companies must adapt as far as possible to the changes that have taken place in order to continue with their normal operating activities. Likewise, they should also try to maintain a structure for long-term growth, trying at all times to generate the maximum value. The main objective of this project is to provide financial advisory services to a business group, trying to forward solutions and measures that according to the author can be effective. For this end, the situation of the group in question is analysed from early 2008 to the present day, examining its evolution, what steps have been taken together with their corresponding results and the economic-financial situation of the company at the end of last year. Contact with the company was kept throughout the process of analysis and assessment trying to take advantage of the feedback generated so that the appropriate measures can be adopted if the management considers it to be adequate.
