Propuesta de visualizaci��n y control de la carga de trabajo semanal docente y discente

Se presenta una herramienta basada en hoja de c��lculo para visualizar y supervisar las actividades presenciales y virtuales semanales de aprendizaje del estudiante para las asignaturas de los nuevos Grados, que se cruza a su vez con cada plan semanal de aprendizaje (presencial y virtual) de todas las asignaturas de cualquier tipo de periodo lectivo (cuatrimestre, etc). De esta forma, y aplicando los principios de inteligencia social de D. Goleman para el aprendizaje, se puede estimar, semana a semana, y por asignatura, si el estudiante medio se va a encontrar dentro o fuera de la zona de rendimiento cognitivo ��ptimo. Por tanto, creemos que esta herramienta de visualizaci��n y control puede ser muy ��til para el seguimiento y la coordinaci��n en los centros de la pr��xima implementaci��n de las asignaturas de los nuevos t��tulos de Grado en esta universidad y el trabajo en equipo en las distintas ��reas del saber as�� como en cualquier otra del ��mbito nacional y europeo. Ligeras modificaciones sobre esta plantilla de hoja de c��lculo permiten tambi��n estimar el tiempo de dedicaci��n presencial y virtual del docente.

Redes sociales en industrias culturales: opiniones desde la praxis

Tanto por el p��blico al que se dirigen como por el tipo de ��producto�� que ofrecen, las industrias culturales pueden obtener m��ltiples ventajas con el uso de las redes sociales. En el presente estudio analizamos el papel que juegan las redes sociales online en las empresas culturales a trav��s de la opini��n de cualificados expertos en redes sociales y con el m��todo Delphi. Las conclusiones revelan que, en el ��mbito de las empresas culturales, existe una prevalencia de los usos utilitarios sobre los expresivos y de las motivaciones proactivas sobre las reactivas, con referencia a las redes sociales.

A Survey on FPGA-Based Sensor Systems: Towards Intelligent and Reconfigurable Low-Power Sensors for Computer Vision, Control and Signal Processing

The current trend in the evolution of sensor systems seeks ways to provide more accuracy and resolution, while at the same time decreasing the size and power consumption. The use of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) provides specific reprogrammable hardware technology that can be properly exploited to obtain a reconfigurable sensor system. This adaptation capability enables the implementation of complex applications using the partial reconfigurability at a very low-power consumption. For highly demanding tasks FPGAs have been favored due to the high efficiency provided by their architectural flexibility (parallelism, on-chip memory, etc.), reconfigurability and superb performance in the development of algorithms. FPGAs have improved the performance of sensor systems and have triggered a clear increase in their use in new fields of application. A new generation of smarter, reconfigurable and lower power consumption sensors is being developed in Spain based on FPGAs. In this paper, a review of these developments is presented, describing as well the FPGA technologies employed by the different research groups and providing an overview of future research within this field.

Inclusion of immersive virtual learning environments and visual control systems to support the learning of students with Asperger syndrome

This paper presents the use of immersive virtual reality systems in the educational intervention with Asperger students. The starting points of this study are features of these students' cognitive style that requires an explicit teaching style supported by visual aids and highly structured environments. The proposed immersive virtual reality system, not only to assess the student's behavior and progress, but also is able to adapt itself to the student's specific needs. Additionally, the immersive reality system is equipped with sensors that can determine certain behaviors of the students. This paper determines the possible inclusion of immersive virtual reality as a support tool and learning strategy in these particular students' intervention. With this objective two task protocols have been defined with which the behavior and interaction situations performed by participant students are recorded. The conclusions from this study talks in favor of the inclusion of these virtual immersive environments as a support tool in the educational intervention of Asperger syndrome students as their social competences and executive functions have improved.

Procesamiento de im��genes y control de un hexac��ptero

En este proyecto se pretende dise��ar un sistema embebido capaz de realizar procesamiento de im��genes y guiado de un hexac��ptero. El hexac��ptero dispondr�� a bordo de una c��mara as�� como las bater��as y todo el hardware necesario para realizar el procesamiento de la informaci��n visual obtenida e implementar el controlador necesario para permitir su guiado. OpenCV es una biblioteca de primitivas de procesado de imagen que permite crear algoritmos de Visi��n por Computador de ��ltima generaci��n. OpenCV fue desarrollado originalmente por Intel en 1999 para mostrar la capacidad de procesamiento de los micros de Intel, por lo que la mayor��a de la biblioteca est�� optimizada para correr en estos micros, incluyendo las extensiones MMX y SSE. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCV Actualmente es ampliamente utilizada tanto por la comunidad cient��fica como por la industria, para desarrollar nuevos algoritmos para equipos de sobremesa y sobre todo para sistemas empotrados (robots m��viles, c��maras inteligentes, sistemas de inspecci��n, sistemas de vigilancia, etc..). Debido a su gran popularidad se han realizado compilaciones de la biblioteca para distintos sistemas operativos tradicionales (Windows, Linux, Mac), para dispositivos m��viles (Android, iOS) y para sistemas embebidos basados en distintos tipos de procesadores (ARM principalmente). - iPhone port: http://www.eosgarden.com/en/opensource/opencv-ios/overview/ - Android port: http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/AndroidExperimental Un ejemplo de plataforma embebida es la tarjeta Zedboard (http://www.zedboard.org/), que representa el estado del arte en dispositivos embebidos basados en la arquitectura Cortex de ARM. La tarjeta incluye un procesador Cortex-A9 dual core junto con una gran cantidad de perif��ricos y posibilidades de conexi��n a tarjetas de expansi��n de terceras partes, lo que permite desarrollar aplicaciones en muy distintos campos de la Visi��n por Computador.

Control of Redundant Joint Structures Using Image Information During the Tracking of Non-Smooth Trajectories

Visual information is increasingly being used in a great number of applications in order to perform the guidance of joint structures. This paper proposes an image-based controller which allows the joint structure guidance when its number of degrees of freedom is greater than the required for the developed task. In this case, the controller solves the redundancy combining two different tasks: the primary task allows the correct guidance using image information, and the secondary task determines the most adequate joint structure posture solving the possible joint redundancy regarding the performed task in the image space. The method proposed to guide the joint structure also employs a smoothing Kalman filter not only to determine the moment when abrupt changes occur in the tracked trajectory, but also to estimate and compensate these changes using the proposed filter. Furthermore, a direct visual control approach is proposed which integrates the visual information provided by this smoothing Kalman filter. This last aspect permits the correct tracking when noisy measurements are obtained. All the contributions are integrated in an application which requires the tracking of the faces of Asperger children.

Coverage and invariance for the biological control of pests in mediterranean greenhouses

A major problem related to the treatment of ecosystems is that they have no available mathematical formalization. This implies that many of their properties are not presented as short, rigorous modalities, but rather as long expressions which, from a biological standpoint, totally capture the significance of the property, but which have the disadvantage of not being sufficiently manageable, from a mathematical standpoint. The interpretation of ecosystems through networks allows us to employ the concepts of coverage and invariance alongside other related concepts. The latter will allow us to present the two most important relations in an ecosystem ��� predator���prey and competition ��� in a different way. Biological control, defined as ���the use of living organisms, their resources or their products to prevent or reduce loss or damage caused by pests���, is now considered the environmentally safest and most economically advantageous method of pest control (van Lenteren, 2011). A guild includes all those organisms that share a common food resource (Polis et al., 1989), which in the context of biological control means all the natural enemies of a given pest. There are several types of intraguild interactions, but the one that has received most research attention is intraguild predation, which occurs when two organisms share the same prey while at the same time participating in some kind of trophic interaction. However, this is not the only intraguild relationship possible, and studies are now being conducted on others, such as oviposition deterrence. In this article, we apply the developed concepts of structural functions, coverage, invariant sets, etc. (Lloret et al., 1998, Esteve and Lloret, 2006a, Esteve and Lloret, 2006b and Esteve and Lloret, 2007) to a tritrophic system that includes aphids, one of the most damaging pests and a current bottleneck for the success of biological control in Mediterranean greenhouses.
