Diseño del sistema de tensor de cadena y acople de pinza de freno trasero para moto de competición.

[ES]En este documento se propone el diseño de dos sistemas imprescindibles en el tren trasero de una moto de competición, el sistema de tensor de cadena y el del acople de pinza de freno trasero. Junto a estos sistemas se diseñará, dada su relevancia, el basculante de la moto. Estos diseños se realizarán de tal manera que cumplan una serie de requisitos geométricos y de resistencia, garantizando en todo momento la estabilidad y seguridad del piloto. Se realizará también el estudio de la fabricación de cada uno de los elementos que componen los sistemas, con el fin de realizar diseños viables, que resulten económicamente factibles y mantengan un alto grado de calidad. En el proyecto se analizarán las diferentes alternativas de los sistemas que se puedan adoptar, sus ventajas y desventajas, para así poder escoger, con un alto grado de seguridad, la opción que mejor cumpla los objetivos y condiciones establecidos. Cabe destacar que este proyecto se encuentra dentro de otro de mayor envergadura consistente en el diseño y la fabricación de una motocicleta de competición para participar en el campeonato internacional llamado “MotoStudent”. Esta competición se realiza entre universidades de todo el mundo y en ella los equipos de estudiantes se enfrentan al desafío de diseñar y desarrollar un prototipo de motocicleta de competición similar a la categoría mundialista de “Moto3”.

Structural Integrity of the Contralesional Hemisphere Predicts Cognitive Impairment in Ischemic Stroke at Three Months

After stroke, white matter integrity can be affected both locally and distally to the primary lesion location. It has been shown that tract disruption in mirror's regions of the contralateral hemisphere is associated with degree of functional impairment. Fourteen patients suffering right hemispheric focal stroke (S) and eighteen healthy controls (HC) underwent Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) and neuropsychological assessment. The stroke patient group was divided into poor (SP; n = 8) and good (SG; n = 6) cognitive recovery groups according to their cognitive improvement from the acute phase (72 hours after stroke) to the subacute phase (3 months post-stroke). Whole-brain DWI data analysis was performed by computing Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) followed by Tract Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS). Assessment of effects was obtained computing the correlation of the projections on TBSS skeleton of Fractional Anisotropy (FA) and Radial Diffusivity (RD) with cognitive test results. Significant decrease of FA was found only in right brain anatomical areas for the S group when compared to the HC group. Analyzed separately, stroke patients with poor cognitive recovery showed additional significant FA decrease in several left hemisphere regions; whereas SG patients showed significant decrease only in the left genu of corpus callosum when compared to the HC. For the SG group, whole brain analysis revealed significant correlation between the performance in the Semantic Fluency test and the FA in the right hemisphere as well as between the performance in the Grooved Pegboard Test (GPT) and theTrail Making Test-part A and the FA in the left hemisphere. For the SP group, correlation analysis revealed significant correlation between the performance in the GPT and the FA in the right hemisphere. Palabras clave

Quantum Emulation of Gravitational Waves

Gravitational waves, as predicted by Einstein's general relativity theory, appear as ripples in the fabric of spacetime traveling at the speed of light. We prove that the propagation of small amplitude gravitational waves in a curved spacetime is equivalent to the propagation of a subspace of electromagnetic states. We use this result to propose the use of entangled photons to emulate the evolution of gravitational waves in curved spacetimes by means of experimental electromagnetic setups featuring metamaterials.
