On Lundh's percolation diffusion

A collection of spherical obstacles in the unit ball in Euclidean space is said to be avoidable for Brownian motion if there is a positive probability that Brownian motion diffusing from some point in the ball will avoid all the obstacles and reach the boundary of the ball. The centres of the spherical obstacles are generated according to a Poisson point process while the radius of an obstacle is a deterministic function. If avoidable configurations are generated with positive probability, Lundh calls this percolation diffusion. An integral condition for percolation diffusion is derived in terms of the intensity of the point process and the function that determines the radii of the obstacles.

Tratamiento ortopodológico integral en un paciente corredor de marathón

La biomecánica de la carrera de Marathón supone un gran esfuerzo en el comportamiento dinámico del pie. El caso clínico de un corredor de esta especialidad con pies cavas varas y alteración de la marcha, nos demuestra que con un tratamiento ortopodológico adecuado a base de ortesis y soporte plantar obtuvimos resultados satisfactorios.

Gestió integral del manteniment : fonaments i aplicació de la metodologia RCM

El Manteniment entès com a tal té pocs anys d'existència. Els automatismes, la robotització, la complexitat de les màquines, la seva informatització i control, i la millora tecnològica dels materials i dels equips fins a límits desconeguts, entre d'altres, han anat dotant a aquest servei d'una importància cada vegada més creixent en el món empresarial. La Gestió òptima del Manteniment, l'objectiu principal d'aquest treball, és el conjunt de tècniques i sistemes que permeten prevenir les averies, efectuar revisions programades, lubricacions i reparacions efucaces, donant al mateix temps normes i procediements de funcionament als usuaris del sistema productiu, per tal de contribuir i aportar riquesa a l'empresa. Aquest òrgan busca el més convenient per a les màquines, amb l'objectiu d'allargar la seva vida útil de la forma més rendible possible.

Aplicación de un programa integral de actividad física en niños y niñas entre 6 y 12 años con sobrepeso y obesidad

El propósito de este estudio longitudinal prospectivo es abordar un plan integral de actividad física en niños y niñas entre 6 y 12 años que padezcan sobrepeso y obesidad. El programa se llevará a cabo en el Hospital de San Juan de Dios de Barcelona, donde se utilizarán una serie de variables de medida y tests que serán valorados antes, durante y después de este plan integral. Participarán dos profesionales de la salud, un fisioterapeuta y un nutricionista, quienes intervendrán en 20 niños y niñas con sobrepeso y obesidad. La finalidad de este estudio es disminuir el índice de masa corporal (IMC), así como el porcentaje de grasa corporal total (GCT) en los niños y niñas con sobrepeso y obesidad. También se pretende introducir y fomentar hábitos de vida saludables en relación a la actividad física y la alimentación en los niños y niñas y en su entorno familiar.

Active regions for colour texture segmentation integrating region and boundary information

In this paper a colour texture segmentation method, which unifies region and boundary information, is proposed. The algorithm uses a coarse detection of the perceptual (colour and texture) edges of the image to adequately place and initialise a set of active regions. Colour texture of regions is modelled by the conjunction of non-parametric techniques of kernel density estimation (which allow to estimate the colour behaviour) and classical co-occurrence matrix based texture features. Therefore, region information is defined and accurate boundary information can be extracted to guide the segmentation process. Regions concurrently compete for the image pixels in order to segment the whole image taking both information sources into account. Furthermore, experimental results are shown which prove the performance of the proposed method

II Congreso español de gestión integral de deyecciones ganaderas : Barcelona, 9-10 de junio 2010. International workshop on anaerobic digestion of slaughterhouse waste : Barcelona, 11 junio 2010

La fuerte demanda de alimentos que ha tenido lugar a nivel mundial en los últimos años, ha provocadoun cambio en los sistemas de producción agraria y para el caso de la ganadera se ha pasado de lastípicas explotaciones extensivas ligadas al terreno a las granjas intensivas, en donde se ha incrementadola carga ganadera, bien aumentando el número de cabezas en pastoreo o mediante la construcción degranjas intensivas sin suelo

Predicting overall service quality: a structural equation modelling approach

In this article, the results of a modified SERVQUAL questionnaire (Parasuraman et al., 1991) are reported. The modifications consisted in substituting questionnaire items particularly suited to a specific service (banking) and context (county of Girona, Spain) for the original rather general and abstract items. These modifications led to more interpretable factors which accounted for a higher percentage of item variance. The data were submitted to various structural equation models which made it possible to conclude that the questionnaire contains items with a high measurement quality with respect to five identified dimensions of service quality which differ from those specified by Parasuraman et al. And are specific to the banking service. The two dimensions relating to the behaviour of employees have the greatest predictive power on overall quality and satisfaction ratings, which enables managers to use a low-cost reduced version of the questionnaire to monitor quality on a regular basis. It was also found that satisfaction and overall quality were perfectly correlated thus showing that customers do not perceive these concepts as being distinct

Repensando la relación entre la ley y la violencia hacia las mujeres. Una aproximación a los discursos de los/las agentes del ámbito judicial en relación a la ley integral de violencia de género en España = Rethinking the relationship between law and violence against women. an approach to the juridical agents' discourses in relation to the integral law of gender-based violence

Of the many dimensions of the problem of violence exercised by men toward women in the context of the relations of partner or ex partner, this article deals with the analysis of the discursive productions of the institutional actors that are part of the judicial process. Our intention is to investigate the relationship between criminal law and gender-based violence starting from the implementation of the Law of Integral Gender-based Violence in Spain (LO. 1 / 2004) from a theoretical perspective which includes contributions from social psychology, and socio-legal feminism. We have approached the legal instrument - the Law of Integral Gender-based Violence - through the discourse of legal officers with a perspective that questions the values, so often proclaimed, of universality, objectivity and neutrality of the law

Polarimetric 3D integral imaging in photon-starved conditions

We develop a method for obtaining 3D polarimetric integral images from elemental images recorded in low light illumination conditions. Since photon-counting images are very sparse, calculation of the Stokes parameters and the degree of polarization should be handled carefully. In our approach, polarimetric 3D integral images are generated using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation and subsequently reconstructed by means of a Total Variation Denoising filter. In this way, polarimetric results are comparable to those obtained in conventional illumination conditions. We also show that polarimetric information retrieved from photon starved images can be used in 3D object recognition problems. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on 3D polarimetric photon counting integral imaging.

Estudio y tratamiento integral del dedo en garra

Básicamente las desviaciones de los dedos medios que a diario nos encontramos en las exploraciones podológicas, son de dos tipos: - Deformaciones longitudinales en el plano sagital: dedos en garra o en martillo con sus múltiples variantes. - Deformaciones laterales en el plano frontal: clinodactilias con dedos supra e infraductus.
