Estudio de los principales CMS para la creación de una red social

Actualmente las redes sociales son muy utilizadas en todo el mundo, existen diferentes tipos de redes sociales con las que podemos conectar con amigos, ampliar nuestra red de contactos profesionales, aprender cosas nuevas, etc. Su elevado uso las ha convertido en uno de los negocios más rentables en internet generando fortunas para sus creadores, principalmente, a través de la publicidad. Muchas redes sociales son creadas por empresas que cuentan con un equipo experto, pero otras muchas han sido creadas por personas comunes, con bajos conocimientos informáticos, muchos motivados en sus aficiones o carreras profesionales, que al no encontrar nada en la red que les resulte útil, han decidido desarrollar ellos mismos sus propias redes sociales con la ayuda de herramientas informáticas. Una de esas herramientas son los sistemas de gestión de contenidos (CMS), con los cuales ahorraremos mucho tiempo de desarrollo y no necesitaremos invertir grandes cantidades de dinero. Este proyecto trata, principalmente, de cómo crear redes sociales haciendo uso de estas herramientas y tiene el objetivo de ser lo suficientemente claro para que cualquier persona, sin importar su nivel de conocimientos técnicos, sea capaz de desarrollar sus ideas. En la primera parte del proyecto se habla sobre las redes sociales en general y el impacto de éstas en la sociedad actual, donde se ve que, actualmente, debido a la cantidad de redes sociales y a la accesibilidad móvil, el uso de las redes sociales es una cotidianidad. También se explican algunos métodos para obtener beneficios económicos de una red social y las ventajas que presentan las redes sociales específicas frente a las generalistas, concluyendo que las redes sociales específicas van ganando mayor protagonismo con el paso del tiempo. Además, se habla sobre la crítica de las redes sociales desde el punto de vista del usuario de la red, donde se resalta el tema de la administración de la publicidad y la privatización que han supuesto las redes sociales. Posteriormente se presenta una base teórica sobre las herramientas antes mencionadas, los CMS. Se explica su funcionamiento, clasificación y las ventajas que obtenemos con el uso de este software en nuestros proyectos, de los cuales destacan el corto tiempo de desarrollo y el bajo coste. Al final se eligen los CMS de estudio en este proyecto principalmente en base a tres criterios: licencia, cuota de uso y características de red social. En la segunda parte del proyecto se habla acerca de los CMS elegidos: WordPress con su plugin BuddyPress, Elgg, y Joomla con su plugin JomSocial. Se explican las características de cada uno de ellos y se muestran ejemplos de redes sociales reales hechas con estos CMS. En esta parte del proyecto se hace un uso práctico de estos CMS y se detalla paso a paso todo el proceso de creación de una red social (instalación, configuración y personalización de la red social) para cada CMS. El resultado son tres redes sociales hechas con distintos CMS, de los cuales se hace una valoración en base a la experiencia obtenida con el uso de los mismos, concluyéndose que JomSocial es una buena opción para redes sociales de uso generalista, pero para redes específicas son mejores tanto Elgg como BuddyPress, presentando este último una ligera ventaja por tener una gran comunidad en español. ABSTRACT. Nowadays social networks are widely used throughout the world, there are different types of social networks where you can connect with friends, expand your network of professional contacts, learn new things, etc. Its high usage has turned them into one of the most profitable businesses on Internet generating fortunes to its developers, mainly through advertising. Many social networks are developed by companies that count on an expert team, but many others have been created by ordinary people, with low computer skills, many of them motivated in their hobbies or careers, that did not find anything useful on Internet and decide to develop their own social networks with the help of software tools. One of those tools is a content management system (CMS), which will help us to save a lot of development time and we will not need to invest large amounts of money. This project is, mainly, about how to create social networks using these tools and aims to be clear enough to help anyone, regardless of their computer skills, to develop their ideas. The first part of the project is about social networks in general and the impact on today's society, where we can see that, due to the number of social networks and mobile accessibility, the use of social networks is daily. Also it explains some ways to obtain economic benefits from a social network and the advantages of specific social networks against generalist social networks, concluding that specific social networks are gaining more prominence with the passage of time. In addition, it refers on social networks critique from the point of view of social network users, where it highlights the issue of the advertising administration and privatization which have brought social networks. Subsequently, it presents a theoretical base of the above mentioned tools, CMS. Explains their operation, classification and the advantages we get with the use of this software in our projects, where the short development time and lower cost are highlighted. At the end the CMS studied in this project are chosen mainly based on three criteria: license, community size and social network features. The second part of the project is about the chosen CMS: WordPress with its plugin BuddyPress, Elgg, and Joomla with its plugin JomSocial. It explains features of all of them and shows examples of real social networks developed with these CMS. This part of the project is a practical use of these CMS and detailed step by step throughout the process of creating a social network (installation, configuration and customization of the social network) for each CMS. The result are three social networks made with different CMS, from which is made an assessment on the basis of the experience gained with the use of these software, concluding that JomSocial is a good choice to develop generalist social networks, but for specific social networks are better Elgg and BuddyPress, presenting the latter a slight advantage by having a large community in Spanish.

CMS: An adapter molecule involved in cytoskeletal rearrangements

Cas ligand with multiple Src homology (SH) 3 domains (CMS) is an ubiquitously expressed signal transduction molecule that interacts with the focal adhesion protein p130Cas. CMS contains three SH3 in its NH2 terminus and proline-rich sequences in its center region. The latter sequences mediate the binding to the SH3 domains of p130Cas, Src-family kinases, p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and Grb2. The COOH-terminal region contains putative actin binding sites and a coiled-coil domain that mediates homodimerization of CMS. CMS is a cytoplasmic protein that colocalizes with F-actin and p130Cas to membrane ruffles and leading edges of cells. Ectopic expression of CMS in COS-7 cells resulted in alteration in arrangement of the actin cytoskeleton. We observed a diffuse distribution of actin in small dots and less actin fiber formation. Altogether, these features suggest that CMS functions as a scaffolding molecule with a specialized role in regulation of the actin cytoskeleton.

Measurement of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in p-Pb collisions at $\\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV using TPC and EMCal detectors with ALICE at LHC

Heavy-ion collisions are a powerful tool to study hot and dense QCD matter, the so-called Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). Since heavy quarks (charm and beauty) are dominantly produced in the early stages of the collision, they experience the complete evolution of the system. Measurements of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decay is one possible way to study the interaction of these particles with the QGP. With ALICE at LHC, electrons can be identified with high efficiency and purity. A strong suppression of heavy-flavour decay electrons has been observed at high $p_{m T}$ in Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV. Measurements in p-Pb collisions are crucial to understand cold nuclear matter effects on heavy-flavour production in heavy-ion collisions. The spectrum of electrons from the decays of hadrons containing charm and beauty was measured in p-Pb collisions at $\\sqrt = 5.02$ TeV. The heavy flavour decay electrons were measured by using the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) and the Electromagnetic Calorimeter (EMCal) detectors from ALICE in the transverse-momentum range $2 < p_ < 20$ GeV/c. The measurements were done in two different data set: minimum bias collisions and data using the EMCal trigger. The non-heavy flavour electron background was removed using an invariant mass method. The results are compatible with one ($R_ \\approx$ 1) and the cold nuclear matter effects in p-Pb collisions are small for the electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays.

Patterns for Active E-Learning in CMS Environments

The proliferation of course management systems (CMS) in the last decade stimulated educators in establishing novel active e-learning practices. Only a few of these practices, however, have been systematically described and published as pedagogic patterns. The lack of formal patterns is an obstacle to the systematic reuse of beneficial active e-learning experiences. This paper aims to partially fill the void by offering a collection of active e-learning patterns that are derived from our continuous course design experience in standard CMS environments, such as Moodle and Black-board. Our technical focus is on active e-learning patterns that can boost student interest in computing-related fields and increase student enrolment in computing-related courses. Members of the international e-learning community can benefit from active e-learning patterns by applying them in the design of new CMS-based courses – in computing and other technical fields.

Angular distribution of Z(0 power) bosons in Z+jet events at the square root of S = 7 TeV

For the first time, the Z0 boson angular distribution in the center-of-momentum frame is measured in proton-proton collisions at [special characters omitted] = 7 TeV at the CERN LHC. The data sample, recorded with the CMS detector, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 36 pb–1 . Events in which there is a Z0 and at least one jet, with a jet transverse momentum threshold of 20 GeV and absolute jet rapidity less than 2.4, are selected for the analysis. Only the Z0's muon decay channel is studied. Within experimental and theoretical uncertainties, the measured angular distribution is in agreement with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD predictions.

Measurement of the Z and W production cross section in pp collisions at LHC using a bayesian approach

L’obiettivo di tutto il mio lavoro è stato quello di misurare le sezioni d’urto di produzione dei bosoni deboli W ± e Z nei loro decadimenti leptonici (e, μ) coi dati raccolti dal rivelatore ATLAS a LHC con un’energia del centro di massa di √s = 13 TeV relativi all’estate 2015. Gli eventi selezionati sono gli stessi di quelli del recente articolo della Collaborazione ATLAS sullo stesso argomento, in modo anche da poter operare un confronto tra i risultati ottenuti. Confronto peraltro necessario, poichè i risultati sono stati ottenuti con due metodologie differenti: tradizionale (classica) per l’articolo, bayesiana in questa tesi. L’approccio bayesiano permette di combinare i vari canali e di trattare gli effetti sistematici in modo del tutto naturale. I risultati ottenuti sono in ottimo accordo con le predizioni dello Standard Model e con quelli pubblicati da ATLAS.

Enhancing the numerical performance of fire field models (CMS Paper)

This paper describes two new techniques designed to enhance the performance of fire field modelling software. The two techniques are "group solvers" and automated dynamic control of the solution process, both of which are currently under development within the SMARTFIRE Computational Fluid Dynamics environment. The "group solver" is a derivation of common solver techniques used to obtain numerical solutions to the algebraic equations associated with fire field modelling. The purpose of "group solvers" is to reduce the computational overheads associated with traditional numerical solvers typically used in fire field modelling applications. In an example, discussed in this paper, the group solver is shown to provide a 37% saving in computational time compared with a traditional solver. The second technique is the automated dynamic control of the solution process, which is achieved through the use of artificial intelligence techniques. This is designed to improve the convergence capabilities of the software while further decreasing the computational overheads. The technique automatically controls solver relaxation using an integrated production rule engine with a blackboard to monitor and implement the required control changes during solution processing. Initial results for a two-dimensional fire simulation are presented that demonstrate the potential for considerable savings in simulation run-times when compared with control sets from various sources. Furthermore, the results demonstrate the potential for enhanced solution reliability due to obtaining acceptable convergence within each time step, unlike some of the comparison simulations.

Os efeitos nucleares em processos de produ¸c˜ao de quarkonium no Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) e no Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

Neste trabalho de disserta¸c˜ao, investigamos os efeitos nucleares em processos de produ¸c˜ao de quarkonium no Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) e no Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Para tanto, consideramos o Modelo de Evapora¸c˜ao de Cor (CEM), baseado em processos partˆonicos calculados mediante a QCD perturbativa e em intera¸c˜oes n˜ao perturbativas via troca de gl´uons suaves para a forma¸c˜ao do quarkonium. Supress˜ao de quarkonium ´e um dos sinais de forma¸c˜ao do assim chamado Plasma de Quarks e Gl´uons (QGP) em colis˜oes ultrarelativ´ısticas de ´ıons pesados. No entanto, a supress˜ao n˜ao ´e somente causada em colis˜oes n´ucleo-n´ucleo (AA) devido `a forma¸c˜ao do QGP. De fato, a supress˜ao de quarkonium tamb´em foi observada em colis˜oes pr´oton-n´ucleo (pA). A fim de separar os efeitos da mat´eria quente (devidos ao QGP) e fria (efeitos n˜ao devidos ao QGP), pode-se olhar primeiro para colis˜oes pA, onde somente efeitos de mat´eria fria desempenham um papel fundamental, e depois aplicar esses efeitos em colis˜oes AA, uma vez que parte da supress˜ao ´e devido a efeitos de mat´eria fria. No regime de altas energias, a produ¸c˜ao do quarkonium ´e fortemente dependente da distribui¸c˜ao de gl´uons nuclear, o que viabiliza uma oportunidade ´unica de estudar o comportamento de pequeno x dos gl´uons dentro do n´ucleo e, consequentemente, restringir os efeitos nucleares. Estudamos os processos nucleares utilizando distintas parametriza¸c˜oes para as distribui¸c˜oes partˆonicas nucleares. Calculamos a raz˜ao nuclear para processos pA e AA em fun¸c˜ao da vari´avel rapidez para a produ¸c˜ao de quarkonium, o que permite estimar os efeitos nucleares. Al´em disso, apresentamos uma compara¸c˜ao com os dados do RHIC para a produ¸c˜ao do m´eson J/Ψ em colis˜oes pA, demonstrando que a an´alise deste observ´avel ´e uma quest˜ao em aberto na literatura. Adicionalmente, estimamos a produ¸c˜ao de quarks pesados e quarkonium na etapa inicial e durante a fase termal de uma colis˜ao ultrarelativ´ıstica de ´ıons pesados. O objetivo deste estudo ´e estimar as distintas contribui¸c˜oes para a produ¸c˜ao e de alguns efeitos do meio nuclear.

Measurement of Wγγ Cross Section and Limits on Anomalous Quartic Gauge Couplings in Proton-Proton Collisions at 8 TeV with the CMS detector

Present the measurement of a rare Standard Model processes, pp →W±γγ for the leptonic decays of the W±. The measurement is made with 19.4 fb−1 of 8 TeV data collected in 2012 by the CMS experiment. The measured cross section is consistent with the Standard Model prediction and has a significance of 2.9σ. Limits are placed on dimension-8 Effective Field Theories of anomalous Quartic Gauge Couplings. The analysis has particularly sensitivity to the fT,0 coupling and a 95% confidence limit is placed at −35.9 < fT,0/Λ4< 36.7 TeV−4. Studies of the pp →Zγγ process are also presented. The Zγγ signal is in strict agreement with the Standard Model and has a significance of 5.9σ.

Les mécanismes visant à assurer la qualité et la sécurité des soins en CMS sont-ils suffisants?

Résumé : Par l’adoption des Projets de loi 33 et 34, en 2006 et 2009 respectivement, le gouvernement du Québec a créé de nouvelles organisations privées dispensatrices de soins spécialisés, soient les centres médicaux spécialisés. Il a de ce fait encadré leur pratique, notamment dans l’objectif d’assurer un niveau de qualité et de sécurité satisfaisant des soins qui y sont dispensés. L’auteure analyse les différents mécanismes existants pour assurer la qualité et la sécurité des soins offerts en centres médicaux spécialisés, afin de constater si l’objectif recherché par le législateur est rencontré. Ainsi, elle expose les mécanismes spécifiques prévus dans la Loi sur les services de santé et services sociaux applicables aux centres médicaux spécialisés qui jouent un rôle quant au maintien de la qualité et de la sécurité des services, de même que des mécanismes indirects ayant une incidence sur ce plan, tels que la motivation économique et les recours en responsabilité. Ensuite, elle s’attarde aux processus issus de la règlementation professionnelle. Elle arrive à la conclusion que deux mécanismes sont manquants pour rencontrer l’objectif visé par le législateur et propose, à ce titre, des pistes de solution.

Higgs production in association with top quarks at the LHC

Since it has been found that the MadGraph Monte Carlo generator offers superior flavour-matching capability as compared to Alpgen, the suitability of MadGraph for the generation of ttb¯ ¯b events is explored, with a view to simulating this background in searches for the Standard Model Higgs production and decay process ttH, H ¯ → b ¯b. Comparisons are performed between the output of MadGraph and that of Alpgen, showing that satisfactory agreement in their predictions can be obtained with the appropriate generator settings. A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson, produced in association with the top quark and decaying into a b ¯b pair, using 20.3 fb−1 of 8 TeV collision data collected in 2012 by the ATLAS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, is presented. The GlaNtp analysis framework, together with the RooFit package and associated software, are used to obtain an expected 95% confidence-level limit of 4.2 +4.1 −2.0 times the Standard Model expectation, and the corresponding observed limit is found to be 5.9; this is within experimental uncertainty of the published result of the analysis performed by the ATLAS collaboration. A search for a heavy charged Higgs boson of mass mH± in the range 200 ≤ mH± /GeV ≤ 600, where the Higgs mediates the five-flavour beyond-theStandard-Model physics process gb → tH± → ttb, with one top quark decaying leptonically and the other decaying hadronically, is presented, using the 20.3 fb−1 8 TeV ATLAS data set. Upper limits on the product of the production cross-section and the branching ratio of the H± boson are computed for six mass points, and these are found to be compatible within experimental uncertainty with those obtained by the corresponding published ATLAS analysis.
