A visual framework to accelerate knowledge discovery based on dimensionality reduction minimizing degradation of quality

Tradicionalmente, el uso de técnicas de análisis de datos ha sido una de las principales vías para el descubrimiento de conocimiento oculto en grandes cantidades de datos, recopilados por expertos en diferentes dominios. Por otra parte, las técnicas de visualización también se han usado para mejorar y facilitar este proceso. Sin embargo, existen limitaciones serias en la obtención de conocimiento, ya que suele ser un proceso lento, tedioso y en muchas ocasiones infructífero, debido a la dificultad de las personas para comprender conjuntos de datos de grandes dimensiones. Otro gran inconveniente, pocas veces tenido en cuenta por los expertos que analizan grandes conjuntos de datos, es la degradación involuntaria a la que someten a los datos durante las tareas de análisis, previas a la obtención final de conclusiones. Por degradación quiere decirse que los datos pueden perder sus propiedades originales, y suele producirse por una reducción inapropiada de los datos, alterando así su naturaleza original y llevando en muchos casos a interpretaciones y conclusiones erróneas que podrían tener serias implicaciones. Además, este hecho adquiere una importancia trascendental cuando los datos pertenecen al dominio médico o biológico, y la vida de diferentes personas depende de esta toma final de decisiones, en algunas ocasiones llevada a cabo de forma inapropiada. Ésta es la motivación de la presente tesis, la cual propone un nuevo framework visual, llamado MedVir, que combina la potencia de técnicas avanzadas de visualización y minería de datos para tratar de dar solución a estos grandes inconvenientes existentes en el proceso de descubrimiento de información válida. El objetivo principal es hacer más fácil, comprensible, intuitivo y rápido el proceso de adquisición de conocimiento al que se enfrentan los expertos cuando trabajan con grandes conjuntos de datos en diferentes dominios. Para ello, en primer lugar, se lleva a cabo una fuerte disminución en el tamaño de los datos con el objetivo de facilitar al experto su manejo, y a la vez preservando intactas, en la medida de lo posible, sus propiedades originales. Después, se hace uso de efectivas técnicas de visualización para representar los datos obtenidos, permitiendo al experto interactuar de forma sencilla e intuitiva con los datos, llevar a cabo diferentes tareas de análisis de datos y así estimular visualmente su capacidad de comprensión. De este modo, el objetivo subyacente se basa en abstraer al experto, en la medida de lo posible, de la complejidad de sus datos originales para presentarle una versión más comprensible, que facilite y acelere la tarea final de descubrimiento de conocimiento. MedVir se ha aplicado satisfactoriamente, entre otros, al campo de la magnetoencefalografía (MEG), que consiste en la predicción en la rehabilitación de lesiones cerebrales traumáticas (Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) rehabilitation prediction). Los resultados obtenidos demuestran la efectividad del framework a la hora de acelerar y facilitar el proceso de descubrimiento de conocimiento sobre conjuntos de datos reales. ABSTRACT Traditionally, the use of data analysis techniques has been one of the main ways of discovering knowledge hidden in large amounts of data, collected by experts in different domains. Moreover, visualization techniques have also been used to enhance and facilitate this process. However, there are serious limitations in the process of knowledge acquisition, as it is often a slow, tedious and many times fruitless process, due to the difficulty for human beings to understand large datasets. Another major drawback, rarely considered by experts that analyze large datasets, is the involuntary degradation to which they subject the data during analysis tasks, prior to obtaining the final conclusions. Degradation means that data can lose part of their original properties, and it is usually caused by improper data reduction, thereby altering their original nature and often leading to erroneous interpretations and conclusions that could have serious implications. Furthermore, this fact gains a trascendental importance when the data belong to medical or biological domain, and the lives of people depends on the final decision-making, which is sometimes conducted improperly. This is the motivation of this thesis, which proposes a new visual framework, called MedVir, which combines the power of advanced visualization techniques and data mining to try to solve these major problems existing in the process of discovery of valid information. Thus, the main objective is to facilitate and to make more understandable, intuitive and fast the process of knowledge acquisition that experts face when working with large datasets in different domains. To achieve this, first, a strong reduction in the size of the data is carried out in order to make the management of the data easier to the expert, while preserving intact, as far as possible, the original properties of the data. Then, effective visualization techniques are used to represent the obtained data, allowing the expert to interact easily and intuitively with the data, to carry out different data analysis tasks, and so visually stimulating their comprehension capacity. Therefore, the underlying objective is based on abstracting the expert, as far as possible, from the complexity of the original data to present him a more understandable version, thus facilitating and accelerating the task of knowledge discovery. MedVir has been succesfully applied to, among others, the field of magnetoencephalography (MEG), which consists in predicting the rehabilitation of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The results obtained successfully demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework to accelerate and facilitate the process of knowledge discovery on real world datasets.

Characterization of spontaneous combustuion tendency of dried sewage sludge

The general purpose of this study was the determination of the safety conditions to avoid the presence of explosive atmospheres in the wastewater industry. Eight Spanish plants located in Madrid, Barcelona and Málaga were considered and several sludge samples were taken in different seasons. The base for the assessment of the spontaneous ignition behaviour of dust accumulations is the experimental determination of the self-ignition temperature under isothermal conditions. Self-ignition temperatures at four volumes were obtained for one sample of sewage sludge, allowing their extrapolation to large storage facilities. A simple test method, based also on an isothermal study of samples, is the UN classification of substances liable to spontaneous combustion. Two different samples were so tested, obtaining unlike results if transported in packages of different volumes. By means of thermogravimetric techniques it is possible to analyse the thermal susceptibility of dried sewage sludge. Apparent activation energy can be obtained from the rate of weight loss. It is also applied to the study of self-ignition susceptibility by modifying test conditions when oxygen stream is introduced. As a consequence of this oxidant contribution, sample behaviour can be very different during testing and a step drop or sudden loss of weight is observed at a characteristic temperature for every substance, associated to a rapid combustion. Plotting both the activation energy and the characteristic temperature, a map of self-ignition risk was obtained for 10 samples, showing different risk levels for samples taken in different locations and at different seasons. A prediction of the self-ignition risk level can be also determined.

Probabilistic meta-analysis of risk from the exposure to Hg in artisanal gold mining communities in Colombia

Colombia is one of the largest per capita mercury polluters in the world as a consequence of its artisanal gold mining activities. The severity of this problem in terms of potential health effects was evaluated by means of a probabilistic risk assessment carried out in the twelve departments (or provinces) in Colombia with the largest gold production. The two exposure pathways included in the risk assessment were inhalation of elemental Hg vapors and ingestion of fish contaminated with methyl mercury. Exposure parameters for the adult population (especially rates of fish consumption) were obtained from nation-wide surveys and concentrations of Hg in air and of methyl-mercury in fish were gathered from previous scientific studies. Fish consumption varied between departments and ranged from 0 to 0.3 kg d?1. Average concentrations of total mercury in fish (70 data) ranged from 0.026 to 3.3 lg g?1. A total of 550 individual measurements of Hg in workshop air (ranging from menor queDL to 1 mg m?3) and 261 measurements of Hg in outdoor air (ranging from menor queDL to 0.652 mg m?3) were used to generate the probability distributions used as concentration terms in the calculation of risk. All but two of the distributions of Hazard Quotients (HQ) associated with ingestion of Hg-contaminated fish for the twelve regions evaluated presented median values higher than the threshold value of 1 and the 95th percentiles ranged from 4 to 90. In the case of exposure to Hg vapors, minimum values of HQ for the general population exceeded 1 in all the towns included in this study, and the HQs for miner-smelters burning the amalgam is two orders of magnitude higher, reaching values of 200 for the 95th percentile. Even acknowledging the conservative assumptions included in the risk assessment and the uncertainties associated with it, its results clearly reveal the exorbitant levels of risk endured not only by miner-smelters but also by the general population of artisanal gold mining communities in Colombia.

Teaching and evaluating mechanical vibrations with Matlab®

The study of the response of mechanical systems to external excitations, even in the simplest cases, involves solving second-order ordinary differential equations or systems thereof. Finding the natural frequencies of a system and understanding the effect of variations of the excitation frequencies on the response of the system are essential when designing mechanisms [1] and structures [2]. However, faced with the mathematical complexity of the problem, students tend to focus on the mathematical resolution rather than on the interpretation of the results. To overcome this difficulty, once the general theoretical problem and its solution through the state space [3] have been presented, Matlab®[4] and Simulink®[5] are used to simulate specific situations. Without them, the discussion of the effect of slight variations in input variables on the outcome of the model becomes burdensome due to the excessive calculation time required. Conversely, with the help of those simulation tools, students can easily reach practical conclusions and their evaluation can be based on their interpretation of results and not on their mathematical skills

El objetivo del presente proyecto es realizar el pre-diseño de una instalación solar mixta fotovoltaica-térmica para satisfacer la demanda eléctrica para iluminación y para parte de las necesidades de energía térmica para agua caliente de una vivienda. El proyecto define las condiciones técnicas de la instalación a partir de la radiación solar registrada en la localización elegida. Además de incluir el estudio económico y los planos correspondientes que indican la viabilidad del mismo. Como puntos a destacar en el proyecto, se puede tomar los datos obtenidos de generación eléctrica y térmica, la viabilidad técnica y económica y el análisis de la incipiente tecnología de paneles híbridos fotovoltaicos-térmicos. La incorporación de las energías renovables es ya una realidad para las viviendas de nueva construcción, en cambio son pocas las nuevas instalaciones en edificios o viviendas ya construidas. Es importante promover este tipo de tecnologías con objetivo de reducir la dependencia actual de los combustibles fósiles y evitar así sus efectos nocivos al medio ambiente. ABSTRACT The purpose of this project is to carry out the draft design of a solar mixed photovoltaic-thermal installation to satisfy the electrical and thermal demand in a building, for lighting as well as for some of the energy required for water heating. The project defines the technical conditions of the system, given the solar radiation registered in the chosen location. It also includes the economic analysis and the respective plans that indicates the viability of the project. The highlights of the project are the following: electricity and thermal energy generation data, the technical and financial viability and the analysis of the new technology of the Photovoltaic-Thermal hybrid solar collectors. The inclusion of renewable energies is already a living reality for newly constructed buildings. By contrast, they are rarely implemented in old buildings. In order to be able to reduce the fossil fuels dependency, and in doing so, avoid its damaging effects on the environment, it is very important to promote the use of these cleaner technologies.

Viabilidad de una planta de biomasa forestal para la producción de energía eléctrica

Este Proyecto estudia la implantación de una central termoeléctrica para la generación de energía en la provincia de Orense. Se trata de una instalación que hace uso de biomasa forestal con el fin de producir energía eléctrica renovable de una manera responsable. En primer lugar se estudia en profundidad la disponibilidad de la biomasa presente en la región que dará lugar al emplazamiento de la instalación, en pos de una posterior toma de decisión acerca del correcto dimensionamiento de la planta, así como la ubicación óptima de la misma. Se ha logrado dar una alternativa a la dependencia energética a partir de una energía renovable limpia, como la cadena integrada de producción eléctrica. Considerando con rigor tanto las políticas de globalización regionales como internacionales orientadas a lograr un desarrollo sostenible y a la lucha contra el cambio climático, como la cadena integrada de producción eléctrica. Una vez puestos en situación, se analiza las diferentes técnicas utilizadas para el aprovechamiento energético con la biomasa disponible. Se trata de encontrar la mejor alternativa capaz de optimizar los recursos energéticos de la zona para la generación de energía eléctrica. Abstract This project is based on the study of a power plant located in the province of Ourense and its fundamental target is aimed to the generation of electricity. The importance of this plant is its commitment within renewable resources that enhance the use of forest biomass in order to produce electrical power in a responsible way. In the first place, it is necessary to deeply investigate the characteristics of the available biomass present in the place of interest, which will define the size and location of the power plant. This project gives an alternative to the energetic dependence from a renewable point of view, considering rigorously globalized politics intended for a sustainable energetic progress within the introduction of ambitious measures against climate change.

Control estadístico de la calibración de MDP volumétricos para la transferencia de custodia de hidrocarburos líquidos

Este proyecto tiene por objeto desarrollar una sistemática de control metrológico para vigilar la exactitud de los medidores volumétricos de desplazamiento positivo que operan en las compañías logísticas de hidrocarburos para la transferencia de custodia que están en el cargadero y se ensayan in situ para obtener su meter factor. El punto de partida son las hojas primarias de las calibraciones generadas frente a sus patrones y el prover que nos facilitan las compañías. Dado el elevado número de ensayos y debido a que estos medidores no tienen gráficos de control estables, el enfoque del tratamiento ha sido un etiquetado para realizar un control de inestabilidad y calidad de los ensayos y así, determinar equipos anómalos. Para la búsqueda de equipos atípicos se ha desarrollado el filtro de Tukey para el estudio de la estadística descriptiva de los valores del meter factor. Entre los dos métodos se han obtenido una clasificación de equipos vigilables, recalibrables y sustituibles para facilitar a las compañías logísticas. ABSTRACT The aim of this project is to develop a systematic metrological control to monitor the accuracy of the positive displacement flow meters operating in oil logistics companies for custody transfer which are in the loading track facilities and it are tested in-situ to obtain the meter factor. Due to the high number of assays that meters don´t have stable graphics of control, the approach of data processing has been a labeled to perform an instability and quality control of assays for establish anomalous meters. To find outliers meters is developed the filter of Turkey to study the descriptive statistics of meter factor values. Between both analytical methods is obtained a classification of controllable, recalibrables and replaceable meters to provide to the logistic company.

Tips and tricks about financial ratios: how to anticipate unpleasant surprises

Following recent accounting and ethical scandals within the Telecom Industry like Gowex case, old cards are laid on the table: what kind of management and control are we doing on our businesses and what use do we give to the specific tools we have at our disposition? There are indicators, that on a very specific, concise and accurate manner, aside from brief, allow us to analyze and capture the complexity of a business and also they constitute an important support when making optimal decisions. These instruments or indicators show, a priori, all relevant data from a purely economic perspective, while there also exist, the possibility of including factors that are not of this nature strictly. For instance, there are indicators that take into account the customer?s satisfaction, the corporate reputation among others. Both kind of performance indicators form, together, an integral dashboard while the pure economic side of it could be considered as a basic dashboard. Based on DuPont?s methodology, we will be able to calculate the ROI (Return on Investment) of a company from the disaggregation of very useful and much needed indicators like the ROE (Return on Equity) or the ROA (Return on Assets); thereby, we will be able to get to know, to control and, hence, to optimize the company?s leverage level, its liquidity ratio or its solvency ratio, among others; as well as the yield we will be able to obtain if our decisions and management are optimal related to the bodies of assets. Bear in mind and make the most of the abovementioned management tools and indicators that we have at our disposition, allow us to act knowing our path and taking full responsibility, as well as, to obtain the maximum planned benefits, instead of leaving them to be casual. We will be able to avoid errors that can lead the company to an unfortunate and non-desirable situation and, of course, we will detect, way in advance, the actual needs of the business in terms of accounting and financial sanitation before irreversible situations are reached.

Customer loyalty plan at Residencia Gómez-Pardo, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid

Accommodation is a first need and one of the most important decisions that university students have to decide taking into account their limited budget. The satisfaction grade of these students is the relevant aspect for the administrators and managers of the university residences, because it allows assuring the viability and sustainability of this kind of accommodation. In a situation of decline in rate of retention of students into the residence, coupled with an environment of economic crisis. Hence, of disposable income reduction, it seems essential to get to know what factors affect the motivation to remain into the university residence more than others when it comes to the final choice. The offer?s increase of different kind of accommodation is another variable to be considered when taking the decision related to the management of this kind of accommodation. Thus, there is the need to know which are the key factors and to obtain information about these variables in order to go deep into the relevance grade with the aim to pursue the strategic objectives, that will allow to improve the relationship with the customer and to respond to his accommodation? needs. This article researches the motivation elements that lead the students to remain in a university residence or to abandon it in exchange or a different accommodation, as per example shared flats or individual apartments. This research work intends to be useful for the university residence?s managers in order to increase its incomes, to raise the satisfaction degree among its residents and to obtain better end results in the management of these properties. The fieldwork conducted in the Residencia Universitaria Gómez Pardo (RUGP), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), for four semesters, which means students from 27 different grades (undergraduates) and 81 surveys finished, shows the following conclusions. Not only the relation with the residence?s personnel but also the quality and quantity of the feeding and the availability and quality of the internet service, constitute key factors when it comes to make the decision of remaining or of abandoning the residence when the semester comes to its end.

Business ethics: a way to identify fraud from the basics

When we look to perform a work for developing a framework to create a business and take it correctly, there are always some persons looking as a challenge those bases and finding a mistake. The way to work in these situations is not a matter of law, is a matter of devoting time to identify these situations. It is always said that the evil goes a step ahead. The business ethics have been altered for quite time by some would-be entrepreneurs. These people have learned to play with business ethics to show your business as prosperous as something that is sought to highlight and adulterate their results quickly. Once the company reaches an international dimension, many companies take on global responsibility and, in these cases where you can see if the objective has been to obtain a rapid capital increase or growth is in line with its proportions. A business ethics is based on establishing a strong base so that interest is encouraged from an early time. Good staff, organizational level should be achieved and not only at the company but, out of the company too. Thus, you can create a secure base to convince potential investors and employees about the business. There are no freeways in business ethics and all fast track can be or a genius or leads to failure. We must find where these jumps are occurring, such errors or corrections to business ethics and their rules. Thus we can differentiate a company or an entrepreneur who is working correctly from the cloaking. Starting from the basics of business ethics and studying the different levels from the personal to the prospect that the company shows in the world. Lets see where these changes are occurring and how we can fight against them and anticipate the market to possible cases of fraud or strange movements seeking to attract the unwary

Aplicación de energía geotérmica de muy baja entalpia para la climatización de un edificio de oficinas en Alcorcón, Madrid

El presente Proyecto tiene como propósito el estudio de la viabilidad de la implantación de energía geotérmica de muy baja entalpia para la climatización de un edificio empresarial en Madrid. Para ello se emplearon cálculos teóricos y simulaciones realizadas mediante programas informaticos especializados con el fin de estimar los parámetros técnicos necesarios para su viabilidad. Se estimo el suministro de la potencia necesaria a través de tres bombas de calor tipo agua-agua que sustituyen a las bombas de calor aire-agua individuales anteriormente instaladas. El intercambio de calor se realiza a través de sondas geotérmicas U-Simple. Se dimensionaron los colectores, bombas de circulación, deposito de inercia y vaso de expansión necesarios para funcionamiento del sistema. El estudio económico determino la necesidad de una alta inversión inicial, con una rentabilidad a medio plazo. Además de los beneficios económicos se realizo un estudio de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero demostrando la reducción de los mismos, lo que refleja que además de ser una tecnología económicamente viable es una energía limpia. ABSTRACT The objective of the present project is to evaluate the viability of the imposition of a low-enthalpy geothermal energy system for air conditioning in a business building in Madrid. In this study, both theoretical calculations and numerical simulations in specialized programs were used in order to estimate the technical parameters needed for its viability. We estimated the necessary power supply, which is delivered by three heat water-water pumps that substitute the individual heat air-water pumps previously installed. The heat exchange is achieved through geothermal vertical simple-U probes. Also in this work we have measured the collectors, flow pumps, inertia deposit and the water expansion vessel needed for the proper operation of the system. The economic study determined the need of a high initial investment with mid-term profit. In addition to the economic benefits, the greenhouse gases emissions were evaluated, finding that the geothermal energy system implies a reduction of these emissions. This reflects the fact that, in addition to being economically viable, the geothermal energy is considered a clean energy.

Evaluation of preisach model of hysteresis to model superconductors

The Large Hadron Collider is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. The project is divided in phases. The first one goes from 2009 until 2020. The second phase will consist of the implementation of upgrades. One of the upgrades is to increase the ratio of collision, the luminosity. This objective is the main of one of the most important projects which is carrying out the upgrades: Hi-Lumi LHC project. Increasing luminosity could be done by using a new material in the superconductor magnets placed at the interaction points: Nb3Sn, instead of NbTi, the one being used right now. Before implementing it many aspects should be analysed. One of them is the induction magnetic field quality. The tool used so far has been ROXIE, software developed at CERN by S. Russenschuck. One of the main features of the programme is the time-transient analysis, which is based on three mathematical models. It is quite precise for fields above 1.5 Tesla. However, they are not very accurate for lower fields. Therefore the aim of this project is to evaluate a more accurate model: Classical Preisach Model of Hysteresis, in order to better analyse induced field quality in the new material Nb3Sn. Resumen: El Gran Colisionador de Hadrones es el mayor acelerador de partículas circular del mundo. Se trata de uno de los mayores proyectos de investigación. La primera fase de funcionamiento comprende desde 2009 a 2020, cuando comenzará la siguiente fase. Durante el primer periodo se han pensado mejoras para que puedan ser implementadas en la segunda fase. Una de ellas es el aumento del ratio de las colisiones entre protones por choque. Este es el principal objetivo de uno de los proyectos que está llevando a cabo las mejoras a ser implementadas en 2020: Hi- Lumi LHC. Se cambiarán los imanes superconductores de NbTi de las dos zonas principales de interacción, y se sustituirán por imanes de Nb3Sn. Esta sustituciónn conlleva un profundo estudio previo. Entre otros, uno de los factores a analizar es la calidad del campo magnético. La herramienta utilizada es el software desarrollado por S. Russenschuck en el CERN llamado ROXIE. Está basado en tres modelos de magnetización, los cuales son precisos para campos mayores de 1.5 T. Sin embargo, no lo son tanto para campos menores. Con este proyecto se pretende evaluar la implementación de un cuarto modelo, el modelo clásico de histéresis de Preisach que permita llevar a cabo un mejor análisis de la calidad del campo inducido por el futuro material a utilizar en algunos de los imanes.
