Web content accessibility guidelines: from 1.0 to 2.0

This poster explains the changes introduced in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 from WCAG 1.0 and proposes a checklist for adapting existing websites. Finally, it describes the most common criticisms of the WCAG and places them in the context of its origin and initial aims.

XIFRADOR 1.0

Aquest TFC pretén investigar en el concepte de generadors de seqüencies pseudoaleatories amb la finalitat d'implementar un generador amb qualitats òptimes per al xifratge de dades.

Visual Management Vinotec V.1.0

El projecte amb nom clau Visual Management Vinotec neix de la necessitat d'administrar i gestionar el catàleg de productes d'una empresa que es dedica a la distribució de licors espirituosos (conyacs i whiskies), generesos (Jerez), vins i caves. Es tracta d'una eina web destinada als professionals del món dels destil·lats i del món vinícola.

Oftalmòleg 1.0

Oftalmòleg 1.0 és un programari concebut per gestionar la consulta d'un centre oftalmològic, cobreix tota l'operativa del centre des del punt de vista del recepcionista, de l'oftalmòleg i com a novetat, del pacient.

ARB v.1.0 Gestió del Coneixement amb J2EE

Amb aquest projecte s'ha portat a terme la planificació i el desenvolupament d'una aplicació web amb tecnologia J2EE. Es tracta d'un sistema que s'assimila a una eina de gestió de coneixement, ja que permet l'emmagatzematge de dades i coneixement en estructures arborescents. Posteriorment es pot accedir a aquest coneixement molt fàcilment, de manera que persones amb poca o nul·la formació en la matèria poden diagnosticar i, fins i tot, resoldre problemes relacionats amb la temàtica de la informació emmagatzemada.

Size dependence of refractive index of Si nanoclusters embedded in SiO2

he complex refractive index of SiO2 layers containing Si nanoclusters (Si-nc) has been measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry in the range from 1.5 to 5.0 eV. It has been correlated with the amount of Si excess accurately measured by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the nanocluster size determined by energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy. The Si-nc embedded in SiO2 have been produced by a fourfold Si+ ion implantation, providing uniform Si excess aimed at a reliable ellipsometric modeling. The complex refractive index of the Si-nc phase has been calculated by the application of the Bruggeman effective-medium approximation to the composite media. The characteristic resonances of the refractive index and extinction coefficient of bulk Si vanish out in Si-nc. In agreement with theoretical simulations, a significant reduction of the refractive index of Si-nc is observed, in comparison with bulk and amorphous silicon. The knowledge of the optical properties of these composite layers is crucial for the realization of Si-based waveguides and light-emitting devices.

Quantifying seasonality along a latitudinal gradient: from stream temperature to growth of invasive mosquitofish

Most ecosystems undergo substantial variation over the seasons, ranging from changes in abiotic features, such as temperature, light and precipitation, to changes in species abundance and composition. How seasonality varies along latitudinal gradients is not well known in freshwater ecosystems, despite being very important in predicting the effects of climate change and in helping to advance ecological understanding. Stream temperature is often well correlated with air temperature and influences many ecosystem features such as growth and metabolism of most aquatic organisms. We evaluated the degree of seasonality in ten river mouths along a latitudinal gradient for a set of variables, ranging from air and water temperatures, to physical and chemical properties of water and growth of an invasive fish species (eastern mosquitofish, Gambusia holbrooki ). Our results show that although most of the variation in air temperature was explained by latitude and season, this was not the case for water features, including temperature, in lowland Mediterranean streams, which depended less on season and much more on local factors. Similarly, although there was evidence of latitude-dependent seasonality in fish growth, the relationship was nonlinear and weak and the significant latitudinal differences in growth rates observed during winter were compensated later in the year and did not result in overall differences in size and growth. Our results suggest that although latitudinal differences in air temperature cascade through properties of freshwater ecosystems, local factors and complex interactions often override the water temperature variation with latitude and might therefore hinder projections of species distribution models and effects of climate change
