DnaSP Version 5. DNA Sequence Polymorphism

DnaSP, DNA Sequence Polymorphism, is a software package for the analysis of nucleotide polymorphism from aligned DNA sequence data. DnaSP can estimate several measures of DNA sequence variation within and between populations (in noncoding, synonymous or nonsynonymous sites, or in various sorts of codon positions), as well as linkage disequilibrium, recombination, gene flow and gene conversion parameters. DnaSP can also carry out several tests of neutrality: Hudson, Kreitman and Aguadé (1987), Tajima (1989), McDonald and Kreitman (1991), Fu and Li (1993), and Fu (1997) tests. Additionally, DnaSP can estimate the confidence intervals of some test-statistics by the coalescent. The results of the analyses are displayed on tabular and graphic form.

Reconstruction of Fresnel Holograms using partial wave front information

n this work we analyze the behavior of complex information in Fresnel domain taking into account the limited capability to display complex transmittance values of current liquid crystal devices, when used as holographic displays. In order to do this analysis we compute the reconstruction of Fresnel holograms at several distances using the different parts of the complex distribution (real and imaginary parts, amplitude and phase) as well as using the full complex information adjusted with a method that combines two configurations of the devices in an adding architecture. The RMS error between the amplitude of these reconstructions and the original amplitude is used to evaluate the quality of the information displayed. The results of the error analysis show different behavior for the reconstructions using the different parts of the complex distribution and using the combined method of two devices. Better reconstructions are obtained when using two devices whose configurations densely cover the complex plane when they are added. Simulated and experimental results are also presented.

Wavefront reconstruction by adding modulation capabilities of two liquid crystal devices

We analyze the behavior of complex information in the Fresnel domain, taking into account the limited capability to display complex values of liquid crystal devices when they are used as holographic displays. To do this analysis we study the reconstruction of Fresnel holograms at several distances using the different parts of the complex distribution. We also use the information adjusted with a method that combines two configurations of the devices in an adding architecture. The results of the error analysis show different behavior for the reconstructions when using the different methods. Simulated and experimental results are presented.

Aplicación informática al estudio del territorio en época antigua: Centuriaciones Romanas

The Coordinated Radio and Infrared Survey for High-mass Star Formation. II. Source Catalog

The CORNISH project is the highest resolution radio continuum survey of the Galactic plane to date. It is the 5 GHz radio continuum part of a series of multi-wavelength surveys that focus on the northern GLIMPSE region (10° < l < 65°), observed by the Spitzer satellite in the mid-infrared. Observations with the Very Large Array in B and BnA configurations have yielded a 1.''5 resolution Stokes I map with a root mean square noise level better than 0.4 mJy beam 1. Here we describe the data-processing methods and data characteristics, and present a new, uniform catalog of compact radio emission. This includes an implementation of automatic deconvolution that provides much more reliable imaging than standard CLEANing. A rigorous investigation of the noise characteristics and reliability of source detection has been carried out. We show that the survey is optimized to detect emission on size scales up to 14'' and for unresolved sources the catalog is more than 90% complete at a flux density of 3.9 mJy. We have detected 3062 sources above a 7σ detection limit and present their ensemble properties. The catalog is highly reliable away from regions containing poorly sampled extended emission, which comprise less than 2% of the survey area. Imaging problems have been mitigated by down-weighting the shortest spacings and potential artifacts flagged via a rigorous manual inspection with reference to the Spitzer infrared data. We present images of the most common source types found: H II regions, planetary nebulae, and radio galaxies. The CORNISH data and catalog are available online at http://cornish.leeds.ac.uk.

Capçal extrusor per a un sistema de tecnologia additiva

El departament de GREP de la UdG disposa d’un sistema de tecnologia additiva, laFab@home model 1, una impressora 3D o també anomenada de prototipat ràpid. Ésuna màquina de dimensions reduïdes, versàtil i de cost reduït, que a partir d’un modelgenerat a CAD, es capaç de fabricar objectes sòlids tridimensionals mitjançant lasuperposició de capes horitzontals.Les impressores 3D neixen de la necessitat de realitzar, en un temps relativament curt,proves de geometries complexes, que executades en un procés de manofacturaciónormal pot ser llarg i d’elevat cost.Gran part de les màquines de característiques similars a la Fab@home, tenen modelspreparats fabricar / extrudir peces a partir de silicones, aliments o polímers. Ara bé, laconformació per extrusió de plàstic és a partir de polímer verge en forma de fil.El present projecte té l’objectiu de dissenyar un sistema de conformació que permetimanufacturar polímer en forma de gra i s’adapti al funcionament de la Fab@home, amb l’argot corresponent, es tracta d’adaptar la Fab@home al fused depositionmodeling (FDM)
