La Clínica jurídica ambiental

La Clínica Jurídica Ambiental (CJA) és una experiència de mètode clínic en l’àmbit del Dret Ambiental, iniciada el curs acadèmic 2005-2006. Formalment, la CJA s’integra en el Centre d’Estudis de Dret Ambiental de Tarragona (CEDAT) de la Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), i des del punt de vista de l’organització curricular, constitueix una matèria obligatòria del Màster en Dret Ambiental de la Facultat de Ciències Jurídiques de la URV. Així mateix, cada curs s’ofereixen algunes places per estudiants de la llicenciatura de Dret, que passen a treballar a la CJA formant equip amb els alumnes de Màster

Transmission delays in residual computation

The design of control, estimation or diagnosis algorithms most often assumes that all available process variables represent the system state at the same instant of time. However, this is never true in current network systems, because of the unknown deterministic or stochastic transmission delays introduced by the communication network. During the diagnosing stage, this will often generate false alarms. Under nominal operation, the different transmission delays associated with the variables that appear in the computation form produce discrepancies of the residuals from zero. A technique aiming at the minimisation of the resulting false alarms rate, that is based on the explicit modelling of communication delays and on their best-case estimation is proposed

Cancer mortality inequalities in urban areas: a Bayesian small area analysis in Spanish cities

Intra-urban inequalities in mortality have been infrequently analysed in European contexts. The aim of the present study was to analyse patterns of cancer mortality and their relationship with socioeconomic deprivation in small areas in 11 Spanish cities
