Entre 1998 y 1999, el Consorcio de Bibliotecas Universitarias de Cataluña (CBUC) creó una nueva línea de trabajo: la Biblioteca Digital de Cataluña. Ésta nació con la finalidad de contratar información electrónica interdisciplinar para la comunidad universitaria e investigadora de las bibliotecas miembro del Consorcio. Casi al mismo tiempo, esta línea de trabajo se amplió con la vertiente de la información propia generada por esta comunidad y se empezó a trabajar con la definición e implementación de repositorios electrónicos cooperativos. Estos últimos serán el objeto de este estudio. Se analiza su evolución, su estado actual, la estrategia para conseguir la inclusión de documentos (políticas institucionales, comités científicos, etc.), su contenedor (programas, tecnología usada, protocolos, etc.) y su contenido (estándares utilizados, derechos de autor, preservación, etc.). Por último se reflexiona sobre las ventajas, extraídas de la propia experiencia, de estos repositorios electrónicos cooperativos.

Entre 1998 i 1999, el Consorci de Biblioteques Universitàries de Catalunya (CBUC) va crear una nova línia de treball: la Biblioteca Digital de Catalunya. Aquesta va néixer amb la finalitat de contractar informació electrònica interdisciplinar per a la comunitat universitària i investigadora dels membres del Consorci. Gairebé al mateix temps, aquesta línia de treball es va ampliar amb la vessant de la informació pròpia generada per aquesta comunitat i es va començar a treballar amb la definició i implementació dels dipòsits electrònics cooperatius. Aquests últims seran l'objecte d'estudi. S'analitza la seva evolució, el seu estat actual, l'estratègia per aconseguir la inclusió de documents (polítiques institucionals, comitès científics, etc.), el seu continent (programes, tecnologia usada, protocols, etc.) i el seu contingut (estàndards utilitzats, drets d'autor, preservació, etc.). Per últim es reflexiona sobre les avantatges, extretes de la pròpia experiència, d'aquests dipòsits electrònics cooperatius.

Anatomical structures and mechanisms linking genes to neuropsychiatric disorders are not deciphered. Reciprocal copy number variants at the 16p11.2 BP4-BP5 locus offer a unique opportunity to study the intermediate phenotypes in carriers at high risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or schizophrenia (SZ). We investigated the variation in brain anatomy in 16p11.2 deletion and duplication carriers. Beyond gene dosage effects on global brain metrics, we show that the number of genomic copies negatively correlated to the gray matter volume and white matter tissue properties in cortico-subcortical regions implicated in reward, language and social cognition. Despite the near absence of ASD or SZ diagnoses in our 16p11.2 cohort, the pattern of brain anatomy changes in carriers spatially overlaps with the well-established structural abnormalities in ASD and SZ. Using measures of peripheral mRNA levels, we confirm our genomic copy number findings. This combined molecular, neuroimaging and clinical approach, applied to larger datasets, will help interpret the relative contributions of genes to neuropsychiatric conditions by measuring their effect on local brain anatomy.Molecular Psychiatry advance online publication, 25 November 2014; doi:10.1038/mp.2014.145.

E-repositories are part of the e-science, and they are based on the e-infrastructure. The Centre de Supercomputació de Catalunya (CESCA) together with the Consorci de Biblioteques Universitàries de Catalunya (CBUC) started in 1999 a cooperative repository, named TDR, to file, in digital format, the full-text of the read thesis at the universities of our country in order to spread them worldwide in open access, while at the same time, preserving the intellectual copyright of the authors. Since then, four additional cooperative repositories have been created: RECERCAT for research papers; RACO for scientific, cultural and erudite Catalan magazines; MDC for Catalan digital collections of pictures, maps, posters and old magazines; and PADICAT for archiving Catalan digital web content; The main objective of the latter is to archive Catalan web sites. That is, PADICAT collects, processes and provides permanent access to the entire cultural, scientific and general output of Catalonia in digital format. The repository manager is the Biblioteca de Catalunya, as the institution responsible for compiling, processing and distributing the bibliographic heritage of Catalonia, while CESCA is the technology partner. On September 11th, 2006 the repository went into operation for the general public, with some thirty websites archived. After one year and a half, it has 2.720 captures of more than 1.000 websites. This includes 34 million files (HTML, images...) and two terabytes of data. The objective of this paper is to present PADICAT and our experience developing and managing it.We describe the repository briefly, we explain the technology used to implement it and we comment our experiences during its first year and a half.

Previous studies have demonstrated that a region in the left ventral occipito-temporal (LvOT) cortex is highly selective to the visual forms of written words and objects relative to closely matched visual stimuli. Here, we investigated why LvOT activation is not higher for reading than picture naming even though written words and pictures of objects have grossly different visual forms. To compare neuronal responses for words and pictures within the same LvOT area, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging adaptation and instructed participants to name target stimuli that followed briefly presented masked primes that were either presented in the same stimulus type as the target (word-word, picture-picture) or a different stimulus type (picture-word, word-picture). We found that activation throughout posterior and anterior parts of LvOT was reduced when the prime had the same name/response as the target irrespective of whether the prime-target relationship was within or between stimulus type. As posterior LvOT is a visual form processing area, and there was no visual form similarity between different stimulus types, we suggest that our results indicate automatic top-down influences from pictures to words and words to pictures. This novel perspective motivates further investigation of the functional properties of this intriguing region.

Desde 1999 el Consorcio de Bibliotecas Universitarias de Cataluña (CBUC) ha creado una nueva línea de trabajo, junto con el Centro de Supercomputación de Cataluña (CESCA), para promocionar la investigación que se lleva a cabo en Cataluña y al mismo tiempo contribuir al movimiento mundial de depositar la producción académica y de investigación en la red de forma abierta. Este movimiento mundial, que recibe el nombre de Open Access, ha sido puesto en marcha con la finalidad de crear alternativas al paradigma de pagar por tener acceso a la información que se ha elaborado, muy a menudo, con financiación y recursos públicos. Esta nueva línea de trabajo son los depósitos institucionales. En esta comunicación presentamos brevemente el estado actual de los depósitos cooperativos implementados, su contenido (estándares usados, derechos de autor, preservación, etc.) y su continente (programas y tecnología utilizada, protocolos, etc.).

This paper presents a short history of the appraisal of laser scanner technologies in geosciences used for imaging relief by high-resolution digital elevation models (HRDEMs) or 3D models. A general overview of light detection and ranging (LIDAR) techniques applied to landslides is given, followed by a review of different applications of LIDAR for landslide, rockfall and debris-flow. These applications are classified as: (1) Detection and characterization of mass movements; (2) Hazard assessment and susceptibility mapping; (3) Modelling; (4) Monitoring. This review emphasizes how LIDARderived HRDEMs can be used to investigate any type of landslides. It is clear that such HRDEMs are not yet a common tool for landslides investigations, but this technique has opened new domains of applications that still have to be developed.

In 1903, the eastern slope of Turtle Mountain (Alberta) was affected by a 30 M m3-rockslide named Frank Slide that resulted in more than 70 casualties. Assuming that the main discontinuity sets, including bedding, control part of the slope morphology, the structural features of Turtle Mountain were investigated using a digital elevation model (DEM). Using new landscape analysis techniques, we have identified three main joint and fault sets. These results are in agreement with those sets identified through field observations. Landscape analysis techniques, using a DEM, confirm and refine the most recent geology model of the Frank Slide. The rockslide was initiated along bedding and a fault at the base of the slope and propagated up slope by a regressive process following a surface composed of pre-existing discontinuities. The DEM analysis also permits the identification of important geological structures along the 1903 slide scar. Based on the so called Sloping Local Base Level (SLBL) an estimation was made of the present unstable volumes in the main scar delimited by the cracks, and around the south area of the scar (South Peak). The SLBL is a method permitting a geometric interpretation of the failure surface based on a DEM. Finally we propose a failure mechanism permitting the progressive failure of the rock mass that considers gentle dipping wedges (30°). The prisms or wedges defined by two discontinuity sets permit the creation of a failure surface by progressive failure. Such structures are more commonly observed in recent rockslides. This method is efficient and is recommended as a preliminary analysis prior to field investigation.

Com a conseqüència directa de la revolució digital, les biblioteques acadèmiques d'avui dia s'enfronten a la competència com a proveïdors d'informació. Utilitzant les corbes S de tecnologia de Richard N. Foster com a model analític, aquest article mostra que les biblioteques acadèmiques estan enmig d'un canvi discontinu perquè qüestionen un seguit d'assumpcions que recolzen l'actual pràctica de la biblioteconomia acadèmica. Els autors desafien aquestes assumpcions i analitzen la manera en que les comunicacions digitals afecten les biblioteques acadèmiques.
