El desarrollo del contenido de las asignaturas a impartir en el Máster de Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y Puertos, supone, teniendo como base la información remitida a la Agencia Nacional de Acreditación (ANECA) para su aprobación, implementar todos aquellos parámetros que definirán los criterios a aplicar para que el alumnado pueda adquirir los conocimientos y competencias asociadas a cada una de las asignaturas en las que vaya recibir docencia en este primer curso de implantación del Máster de Ingeniería de Caminos en la Universidad de Alicante. Para ello, a partir de las reuniones previas tanto de la Comisión del Área de Titulación como de las correspondientes a esta Red, se han podido poner en común los criterios generales a aplicar en una mayoría de las asignaturas, ya sea en los formatos o en los criterios de evaluación, de forma que el alumno pueda percibir estrategias similares (que no iguales o idénticas por imposible) que le permitan avanzar de forma coherente a lo largo de la titulación. En este aspecto, se ha partido de las recomendaciones ofrecidas en las distintas reuniones y comisiones de los representantes de las Escuelas de Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y Puertos de España, entre los cuales se encontraba representada la Universidad de Alicante, así como de las directrices marcadas por el Ministerio de Educación. Debe tenerse en cuenta que la puesta en funcionamiento de un Máster de carácter profesionalizante (según Orden CIN 309/2009) [1] como el de Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y Puertos en la Universidad de Alicante, ha obligado a los departamentos y docentes implicados en su desarrollo, a establecer criterios específicos relacionados con los sistemas de evaluación, enseñanza y planificación de la materia a impartir.

A suitable knowledge of the orientation and motion of the Earth in space is a common need in various fields. That knowledge has been ever necessary to carry out astronomical observations, but with the advent of the space age, it became essential for making observations of satellites and predicting and determining their orbits, and for observing the Earth from space as well. Given the relevant role it plays in Space Geodesy, Earth rotation is considered as one of the three pillars of Geodesy, the other two being geometry and gravity. Besides, research on Earth rotation has fostered advances in many fields, such as Mathematics, Astronomy and Geophysics, for centuries. One remarkable feature of the problem is in the extreme requirements of accuracy that must be fulfilled in the near future, about a millimetre on the tangent plane to the planet surface, roughly speaking. That challenges all of the theories that have been devised and used to-date; the paper makes a short review of some of the most relevant methods, which can be envisaged as milestones in Earth rotation research, emphasizing the Hamiltonian approach developed by the authors. Some contemporary problems are presented, as well as the main lines of future research prospected by the International Astronomical Union/International Association of Geodesy Joint Working Group on Theory of Earth Rotation, created in 2013.

The Free Core Nutation (FCN) is a free mode of the Earth's rotation caused by the different material characteristics of the Earth's core and mantle. This causes the rotational axes of those layers to slightly diverge from each other, resulting in a wobble of the Earth's rotation axis comparable to nutations. In this paper we focus on estimating empirical FCN models using the observed nutations derived from the VLBI sessions between 1993 and 2013. Assuming a fixed value for the oscillation period, the time-variable amplitudes and phases are estimated by means of multiple sliding window analyses. The effects of using different a priori Earth Rotation Parameters (ERP) in the derivation of models are also addressed. The optimal choice of the fundamental parameters of the model, namely the window width and step-size of its shift, is searched by performing a thorough experimental analysis using real data. The former analyses lead to the derivation of a model with a temporal resolution higher than the one used in the models currently available, with a sliding window reduced to 400 days and a day-by-day shift. It is shown that this new model increases the accuracy of the modeling of the observed Earth's rotation. Besides, empirical models determined from USNO Finals as a priori ERP present a slightly lower Weighted Root Mean Square (WRMS) of residuals than IERS 08 C04 along the whole period of VLBI observations, according to our computations. The model is also validated through comparisons with other recognized models. The level of agreement among them is satisfactory. Let us remark that our estimates give rise to the lowest residuals and seem to reproduce the FCN signal in more detail.

Con el propósito de aumentar el aprendizaje activo del alumno durante las clases se han introducido distintas mejoras en la metodología docente y en el sistema de evaluación de la asignatura Fundamentos Matemáticos de la Ingeniería II del primer curso del Grado en Ingeniería Civil de la Universidad de Alicante durante el curso 2014-2015. Su objetivo es reducir el tiempo dedicado a la clase magistral, en la que el alumno tiene un rol fundamentalmente observador, y aumentar la participación activa del alumno. Esto se ha conseguido incentivando la resolución autónoma de diversos ejercicios y problemas por parte de los alumnos por dos vías: (1) cambiando la dinámica de las clases prácticas, y (2) aumentando el número de exámenes en la evaluación continua. En el primer caso se cuenta con la supervisión del profesor, mientras que en la segunda se obtiene una realimentación del trabajo realizado. El resultado de esta experiencia es dispar. Por un lado, los alumnos no han encontrado una mejora en la nueva dinámica de clase, pero sí han aceptado muy favorablemente el aumento en el número de exámenes, hasta el punto de que al 80% le gustaría que otras asignaturas adaptaran este proceso de evaluación.

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es estudiar la distribución espacial de los centros eruptivos monogenéticos según el análisis de vecino más próximo de Poisson, propuesto por Clark y Evans (1954), en las Islas Canarias. Se pretende adquirir así unos valores cuantitativos que permitan interpretar si los centros eruptivos monogenéticos se distribuyen de forma aleatoria, concentrada o dispersa en cada isla. La confrontación de estos resultados con la bibliografía ayudará a interpretarlos mediante comparación. Como objetivo secundario y parte fundamental del trabajo se presenta la necesidad y el fin de adquirir conocimientos teóricos y prácticos de análisis espacial, además de destreza en el uso de lenguajes y entornos de programación adecuados para este tipo de estudios. Otro de los objetivos es desarrollar una aplicación que haga extensible este tipo de estudios de forma sencilla y ponga a disposición, en el caso de una publicación final, de la comunidad científica y de los usuarios a nivel universitario, una herramienta eficaz de análisis cuantitativo para hallar los índices requeridos para llevar a cabo el análisis de vecino más próximo de Poisson. El área de estudio son las Islas Canarias que conforman un archipiélago de siete islas mayores (Fig. 1): Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera y El Hierro; cuatro islas menores: Lobos, La Graciosa, Montaña Clara y Alegranza; y varios roques. Queda comprendido entre los paralelos 27 º 37 ' N y 29 º 35 ' N (Punta de La Restinga, en El Hierro; Punta de los Mosegos, en la isla de la Alegranza) y entre los meridianos 13 º 20 ' W y 18 º 10 ' W (Roque del Este; Punta de Orchilla, en El Hierro) y se encuentra a distancias de entre 100 km y 500 km de la costa noroccidental africana. Queda englobado dentro de la región de la Macaronesia, conjunto de cinco archipiélagos de origen volcánico situado en el Atlántico Oriental, a saber: Azores, Madeira, Salvajes, Canarias y Cabo Verde; y está limitada por los paralelos 14 º 49 ' N y 39 º 45 ' N, y por los meridianos 13 º 20 ' W y 31 º 17 ' W, estando separados entre sus puntos norte y sur por 2 700 km y entre sus puntos este y oeste por 1 800 km de distancia (Gosálvez et al., 2010). Sobre el origen del archipiélago y su contexto geodinámico, se han propuesto varias hipótesis, e.g.: Carracedo et al. (1998), Anguita y Hernán (2000), Ancochea et al. (2006), en las que aún no queda completamente claro el origen de la Islas Canarias, ya que algunos dan un protagonismo mayor a la actividad tectónica como causante del ascenso del magma a través de la corteza y otros defienden la existencia de un punto caliente como verdadera causa del volcanismo en Canarias.

Multi-element analyses of sediment samples from the Santos-Cubatão Estuarine System were carried out to investigate the spatial and seasonal variability of trace-element concentrations. The study area contains a rich mangrove ecosystem that is a habitat for tens of thousands of resident and migratory birds, some of them endangered globally. Enrichments of metals in fine-grained surface sediments are, in decreasing order, Hg, Mn, La, Ca, Sr, Cd, Zn, Pb, Ba, Cu, Cr, Fe, Nb, Y, Ni and Ga, relative to pre-industrial background levels. The maximum enrichment ranged from 49 (Hg) to 3.1 (Ga). Mercury concentrations were greater in the Cubatão river than in other sites, while the other elements showed greater concentrations in the Morrão river. Concentrations of Mn were significantly greater in winter and autumn than in summer and spring. However, other elements (e.g. Cd and Pb) showed the opposite, with greater concentrations in summer and spring. This study suggests that seasonal changes in physical and chemical conditions may affect the degree of sediment enrichment and therefore make the assessment of contamination difficult. Consequently, these processes need to be considered when assessing water quality and the potential contamination of biota.

The objectives of this work was to estimate the number of soil subsamples considering the classical statistics and geostatistics and determine the spatial variability of soil fertility attributes of an Ultisol, with clay texture, in an area of regenerating natural vegetation in Alegre - ES. Soil samples were collected in a depth of 0.0-0.2 m, at the crossing points of a regular grid, comprising a total of 64 points located at 10 m-intervals. The area presented low fertility soil. Considering a variation of 5% around the mean in the classic statistics, it is necessary a larger number of samples in relation to geostatistics. All the chemical attributes showed moderate to high spatial dependence, except for the effective cation exchange capacity (CECe), which showed pure nugget effect. The spherical semivariogram model gave the best fit to the data. Isoline maps allowed visualizing the differentiated spatial distribution of the contents of soil chemical attributes.

This work was carried out with the objective of studying the spatial variability of the physical attributes of a Red-Yellow Ultisol under pasture and secondary vegetation in natural regeneration. Two areas were chosen in a hillside, with the soil sampling to the depth of 0-0.2 m, with the georeferenced points in a regular grid of 10x10 m, totalizing 64 points. In each point it was evaluated the total volume of porosity, macroporosity, microporosity, bulk density, soil penetration resistance and soil water content. The studied attributes in the pasture area present indicator of soil compaction for the animals' traffic, with moderate and strong structure of spatial dependence, except for the macroporosity and penetration resistance. In the area of secondary vegetation (VN) only the macroporosity does not present spatial dependence. The total volume of porosity and the bulk density present the same spatial standard in the area under pasture.

Remote sensing data are each time more available and can be used to monitor the vegetal development of main agricultural crops, such as the Arabic coffee in Brazil, since that the relationship between spectral and agronomical data be well known. Therefore, this work had the main objective to assess the use of Quickbird satellite images to estimate biophysical parameters of coffee crop. Test area was composed by 25 coffee fields located between the cities of Ribeirão Corrente, Franca and Cristais Paulista (SP), Brazil, and the biophysical parameters used were row and between plants spacing, plant height, LAI, canopy diameter, percentage of vegetation cover, roughness and biomass. Spectral data were the reflectance of four bands of QUICKBIRD and values of four vegetations indexes (NDVI, GVI, SAVI and RVI) based on the same satellite. All these data were analyzed using linear and nonlinear regression methods to generate estimation models of biophysical parameters. The use of regression models based on nonlinear equations was more appropriate to estimate parameters such as the LAI and the percentage of biomass, important to indicate the productivity of coffee crop.

Relief influences soil texture variability, since it contributes to the time of exposition of the materials to weathering factors. Our work was carried out in the city of Gavião Peixoto (SP), with the objective of characterizing the spatial variability of texture of a dystrophic Red Latosol cultivated with citrus. The hillside was divided into three segments: top, stocking lean and inferior lean. Soil samples were collected in a grid with regular intervals of 50 m, at the depths of 0.0-0.2 m and 0.6-0.8 m, comprising a total of 332 points in an area of 83.5 ha. The data were submitted to descriptive and geostatistics analyses (semivariogram modeling and kriging maps). The spatial behavior of the texture of oxisols is directly related to the relief forms in this study, which controls the direction of surface and subsurface water flows. The concept of homogeneity of clay distribution in the Oxisol profile is a piece of information that can be adjusted by knowing the spatial pattern of this distribution in different relief forms.

The first idea of this study is trat there may be a disturbance of the visuo-spatial function in cerebral palsy. This idea is based upon the theories of Luria and Piaget. The second idea of this study is that the computer can help the investigation of visuo-spatial function. With the intention of evaluating the spatial function in cerebral palsy, the literature related to these themes was revised. We justify the proposal of a new test to study visuo-spatial function. This test uses straight lines in four different orientations and the subject has to recognize and arrange them individually or sets of them. This was done through the use of pencil and papel, and computer. The results confirm that there is a spatial disturbance and that a better understanding of the subject's difficulties was made possible through the use of the computer and the Logo computer language.

Objetivou-se identificar fatores associados ao edentulismo e o seu risco espacial em idosos. Foi realizado um estudo transversal em uma amostra de 372 indivíduos de 60 anos e mais, no Município de Botucatu, São Paulo, Brasil, em 2005. Razões de prevalência brutas e ajustadas foram estimadas por meio de regressão de Poisson, com estimativa robusta da variância e procedimentos de modelagem hierárquica. A análise espacial foi realizada por estimativas de densidade de Kernel. A prevalência de edentulismo foi de 63,17%. Os fatores sociodemográficos associados ao edentulismo foram a baixa escolaridade, o aumento do número de pessoas por cômodo, não possuir automóvel e idade mais avançada, presença de comorbidades, ausência de um cirurgião-dentista regular e ter realizado a última consulta há três anos ou mais. A análise espacial mostrou maior risco nas áreas periféricas. Obteve-se uma melhor compreensão da perda dentária entre os idosos, subsidiando o planejamento de ações em saúde coletiva.

A modelagem da estrutura de dependência espacial pela abordagem da geoestatística é fundamental para a definição de parâmetros que definem esta estrutura, e que são utilizados na interpolação de valores em locais não amostrados pela técnica de krigagem. Entretanto, a estimação de parâmetros pode ser muito afetada pela presença de observações atípicas nos dados amostrados. O desenvolvimento deste trabalho teve por objetivo utilizar técnicas de diagnóstico de influência local em modelos espaciais lineares gaussianos, utilizados em geoestatística, para avaliar a sensibilidade dos estimadores de máxima verossimilhança e máxima verossimilhança restrita na presença de dados discrepantes. Estudos com dados experimentais mostraram que tanto a presença de valores atípicos como de valores considerados influentes, pela análise de diagnóstico, pode exercer forte influência nos mapas temáticos, alterando, assim, a estrutura de dependência espacial. As aplicações de técnicas de diagnóstico de influência local devem fazer parte de toda análise geoestatística a fim de garantir que as informações contidas nos mapas temáticos tenham maior qualidade e possam ser utilizadas com maior segurança pelo agricultor.
