La Política 2.0 amb la generació Nintendo

The eruption of Web 2.0 has transformed the uses and strategies of political communication. The campaign developed by Obama's team is a good example of the electoral efficiency of these new tools whose results we are now analysing and evaluating. While our present leaders could be classified as the "fax generation", the North American experience opens the doors to a new way of relating with the electoral masses. With these new instruments of interactive communication, voters have the space to be able to make their voices heard and to be able to affect the electoral programme, something which undoubtedly benefits an election campaign's degree of democratic quality

Iowa Bridge Backwater Software User Manual, Version 2.0, TR-564, 2010

This manual describes how to use the Iowa Bridge Backwater software. It also documents the methods and equations used for the calculations. The main body describes how to use the software and the appendices cover technical aspects. The Bridge Backwater software performs 5 main tasks: Design Discharge Estimation; Stream Rating Curves; Floodway Encroachment; Bridge Backwater; and Bridge Scour. The intent of this program is to provide a simplified method for analysis of bridge backwater for rural structures located in areas with low flood damage potential. The software is written in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0. It will run under Windows 95 or newer versions (i.e. Windows 98, NT, 2000, XP and later).

The Quaternary Active Faults Database of Iberia (QAFI v.2.0)

The Quaternary Active Faults Database of Iberia (QAFI) is an initiative lead by the Institute of Geology and Mines of Spain (IGME) for building a public repository of scientific data regarding faults having documented activity during the last 2.59 Ma (Quaternary). QAFI also addresses a need to transfer geologic knowledge to practitioners of seismic hazard and risk in Iberia by identifying and characterizing seismogenic fault-sources. QAFI is populated by the information freely provided by more than 40 Earth science researchers, storing to date a total of 262 records. In this article we describe the development and evolution of the database, as well as its internal architecture. Aditionally, a first global analysis of the data is provided with a special focus on length and slip-rate fault parameters. Finally, the database completeness and the internal consistency of the data are discussed. Even though QAFI v.2.0 is the most current resource for calculating fault-related seismic hazard in Iberia, the database is still incomplete and requires further review.

Science 2.0 : The use of social networking in research.

REBIUN study on Science 2.0 and social web applications for research. There are three categories: share research, share resources and share results. Describes the applications and selected resources of interest: scientific social networks, scientific databases, research platforms, surveys, concept maps, file sharing, bibliographic management, social bookmarking, citation indexes, blogs and wikis, science news, open access. The services are evaluated and the report describes his interest to libraries.

Nou portal d'accés als materials en obert de la UdG : DUGi 2.0

La Biblioteca de la Universitat de Girona és l'encarregada de coordinar els repositoris digitals de la Universitat. A l'inici el repositori neix de la necessitat de difondre i preservar tota la recerca de la Universitat, però mica en mica el projecte va creixent i es creen diferents repositoris per a diferents tipus de continguts. Així es creen els repositoris DUGiDocs, DUGiMedia i DUGiFonsEspecials.L'objectiu d'aquest PFC és desenvolupar un portal web amb un sistema d'indexació que permeti la cerca per diferents criteris com, per exemple, autor, matèria i títol. L'entorn ha de tenir un disseny agradable per a l'usuari final i ha de permetre obtenir les dades del repositori que se li indiquin. També ha de ser capaç de detectar els possibles duplicats en els criteris de cerca i notificar-ho a l'administrador
