Route optimization and customization using real geographical data in Android mobile devices

Nowadays, there are several services and applications that allow users to locate and move to different tourist areas using a mobile device. These systems can be used either by internet or downloading an application in concrete places like a visitors centre. Although such applications are able to facilitate the location and the search for points of interest, in most cases, these services and applications do not meet the needs of each user. This paper aims to provide a solution by studying the main projects, services and applications, their routing algorithms and their treatment of the real geographical data in Android mobile devices, focusing on the data acquisition and treatment to improve the routing searches in off-line environments.

Preventive medicine for epidemic outbreaks and risky behavior through mobile devices and ubiquitous computing

In this work, we have developed the first free software for mobile devices with the Android operating system that can preventively mitigate the number of contagions of sexually transmitted infections (STI), associated with risk behavior. This software runs in two modes. The normal mode allows the user to see the alerts and nearby health centers. The second mode enables the service to work in the background. This software reports the health risks, as well as the location of different test centers.

Optimization of floor cleaning coverage performance of a random path-planning mobile robot

Floor cleaning is a typical robot application. There are several mobile robots aviable in the market for domestic applications most of them with random path-planning algorithms. In this paper we study the cleaning coverage performances of a random path-planning mobile robot and propose an optimized control algorithm, some methods to estimate the are of the room, the evolution of the cleaning and the time needed for complete coverage.

Disseny, desenvolupament i implementació d’una aplicació web per a la gestió i control de l’obra menor al terme municipal de l’Escala

L’objectiu del projecte és dissenyar, desenvolupar i implementar una aplicació web per a la gestió i control de les obres menors al municipi de l’Escala basada en programari lliure i que incorpori explícitament funcionalitat relacionada amb informació geogràfica. L’Organisme receptor és l’Ajuntament de l’Escala i els usuaris previstos són els ciutadans (comunicadors), els tècnics de l’Ajuntament (gestors) i la Policia municipal (controladors). L’aplicació desenvolupada queda distribuïda en tres interfícies: el Portal d’entrada on els usuaris trien el camí en funció de les seves necessitats i privilegis; els comunicadors poden consultar la normativa associada a les obres menors i accedir lliurement al formulari de comunicació, mentre que els gestors i controladors poden accedir al Visor cartogràfic via autenticació; el Formulari de comunicació de les obres menors on el comunicador disposa d’un mapa interactiu on marcar la situació de la seva obra i consultar dades cadastrals a més d’emplenar els camps requerits en la comunicació i, finalment, el Visor cartogràfic de l’Escala en què es despleguen funcionalitats diverses que van des de la navegació per mapes topogràfics, ortofotos, cadastral, etc., la cerca assistida d’adreces, parcel·les..., fins a l’edició de capes (entitats residents a bases de dades amb capacitat per emmagatzemar i gestionar informació geogràfica), la consulta d’atributs de capes pròpies i provinents de servidors externs, la impressió de mapes... El desenvolupament de l’aplicació s’ha realitzat íntegrament emprant javascript, php, html i css i les llibreries més habituals de codi obert i lliure distribució OpenLayers, GeoExt, Ext i jQuery

Mobile or fixed bearing for total knee arthroplasty? Ambulatory gait analysis results

Background: Mobile-bearing knee replacements have some theoretical advantages over fixed-bearing devices. However, very few randomized controlled clinical trials have been published to date, and studies showed little clinical and subjective advantages for the mobile-bearing using traditional systems of scoring. The choice of the ideal outcome measure to assess total joint replacement remains a complex issue. However, gait analysis provides objective and quantifying evidences of treatment evaluation. Significant methodological advances are currently made in gait analysis laboratories and ambulatory gait devices are now available. The goal of this study was to provide gait parameters as a new objective method to assess total knee arthroplasty outcome between patients with fixed- and mobile-bearing, using an ambulatory device with minimal sensor configuration. This randomized controlled double-blind study included to date 14 patients: the gait signatures of four patients with mobile-bearing were compared to the gait signatures of nine patients with fixed-bearing pre-operatively and post-operatively at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. Each participant was asked to perform two walking trials of 30m long at his/her preferred speed and to complete a EQ-5D questionnaire, a WOMAC and Knee Society Score (KSS). Lower limbs rotations were measured by four miniature angular rate sensors mounted respectively, on each shank and thigh. A new method for a portable system for gait analysis has been developed with very encouraging results regarding the objective outcome of total knee arthroplasty using mobile- and fixed-bearings.

Discovering the campus together: a mobile and computer-based learning experience

One of the most relevant difficulties faced by first-year undergraduate students is to settle into the educational environment of universities. This paper presents a case study that proposes a computer-assisted collaborative experience designed to help students in their transition from high school to university. This is done by facilitating their first contact with the campus and its services, the university community, methodologies and activities. The experience combines individual and collaborative activities, conducted in and out of the classroom, structured following the Jigsaw Collaborative Learning Flow Pattern. A specific environment including portable technologies with network and computer applications has been developed to support and facilitate the orchestration of a flow of learning activities into a single integrated learning setting. The result is a Computer-Supported Collaborative Blended Learning scenario, which has been evaluated with first-year university students of the degrees of Software and Audiovisual Engineering within the subject Introduction to Information and Communications Technologies. The findings reveal that the scenario improves significantly students’ interest in their studies and their understanding about the campus and services provided. The environment is also an innovative approach to successfully support the heterogeneous activities conducted by both teachers and students during the scenario. This paper introduces the goals and context of the case study, describes how the technology was employed to conduct the learning scenario, the evaluation methods and the main results of the experience.
