Las Revistas internacionales de geografía física: análisis de las publicaciones reflejadas en el Science Citation Index del Journal of Citation Reports durante el período 1989-2004

El manejo de los índices de impacto de las revistas internacionales es capital para investigadores, profesores y estudiantes de tercer ciclo ya que permite seleccionar la publicación más adecuada para dirigir las investigaciones. Al margen, en la actualidad, las trayectorias curriculares se están midiendo a través de las publicaciones en revistas indexadas, por lo que el conocimiento de estos índices es fundamental. En el presente trabajo se reflejan las revistas de geografía física que han aparecido en las categorías de Geografía del Science Citation Index del Journal Citation Reports desde 1989 hasta 2004. Se realiza una visión global de cada revista con los valores de factor de impacto y la editorial que las publica, así como una revisión de la temática de cada una de ellas y el perfil de su audiencia potencial

Erratum: "The aromatic fluctuation index (FLU): a new aromaticity index based on electron delocalization" [J. Chem Phys. 122, 014109 (2005)]

An erratum to the article "The aromatic fluctuation index (FLU): a new aromaticity index based on electron delocalization", published in The Journal Chemistry of Physics, 2005, v.122, art. no.014109. Values FLU have been corrected in the last column of Table I because they were not correct

The aromatic fluctuation index (FLU): a new aromaticity index based on electron delocalization

In this work, the aromatic fluctuation index (FLU) that describes the fluctuation of electronic charge between adjacent atoms in a given ring is introduced as a new aromaticity measure. This new electronic criterion of aromaticity is based on the fact that aromaticity is related to the cyclic delocalized circulation of π electrons. It is defined not only considering the amount of electron sharing between contiguous atoms, which should be substantial in aromatic molecules, but also taking into account the similarity of electron sharing between adjacent atoms. For a series of rings in 15 planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, we have found that, in general, FLU is strongly correlated with other widely used indicators of local aromaticity, such as the harmonic-oscillator model of aromaticity, the nucleus independent chemical shift, and the para-delocalization index (PDI). In contrast to PDI, the FLU index can be applied to study the aromaticity of rings with any number of members and it can be used to analyze both the local and global aromatic character of rings and molecules

Prediction of postprandial blood glucose under intra-patient variability and uncertainty and its use in the design of insulin dosing strategies for type 1 diabetic patients

In this thesis I propose a novel method to estimate the dose and injection-to-meal time for low-risk intensive insulin therapy. This dosage-aid system uses an optimization algorithm to determine the insulin dose and injection-to-meal time that minimizes the risk of postprandial hyper- and hypoglycaemia in type 1 diabetic patients. To this end, the algorithm applies a methodology that quantifies the risk of experiencing different grades of hypo- or hyperglycaemia in the postprandial state induced by insulin therapy according to an individual patient’s parameters. This methodology is based on modal interval analysis (MIA). Applying MIA, the postprandial glucose level is predicted with consideration of intra-patient variability and other sources of uncertainty. A worst-case approach is then used to calculate the risk index. In this way, a safer prediction of possible hyper- and hypoglycaemic episodes induced by the insulin therapy tested can be calculated in terms of these uncertainties.

Visual efficiency detection index : a new composite measure of visual search

Visual search is an important component of our interaction with our surroundings, allowing us to successfully identify external cues that impact our spatial navigation. Previous research has established fixation duration, fixation count, saccade velocity, and saccade amplitude as important indices of visual search. We examined the Visual Efficiency Detection Index (VEDI) comprising multiple aspects of visual search performance into a single measure of global visual performance. Forty participants, 10 adults ages 22-48, and children ages 6, 8, and 10, completed tests of working memory and visual search in response to stimuli relevant to pedestrian decision making. Results indicated VEDI statistically relates to established indices of visual search in relation to their interpretability for human performance. The VEDI was also sensitive to developmental differences in visual search performance, suggesting insight to its utility in the developmental psychological literature.

Efficacy of the Speech Intelligibility Index as an intervention tool with pediatric cancer patients

This study evaluates the Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) as a tool to describe hearing loss and predict when hearing aids would be appropriate for pediatric oncology patients who have received or are currently receiving cisplatin. The efficacy of the SII is compared to the Brock grade which is commonly used for patients with ototoxic hearing loss secondary to cisplatin treatment. The SII is a discrete measure that precisely reflects the patient’s functional hearing status and is highly correlated with the need for audiologic intervention.

The relationship among perceived hearing handicap, pure-tone average, and articulation index for an elderly population

This paper reviews a study to determine the relationship between a self-perceived hearing handicap index, pure-tone average and Articulation Index scores in an elderly population.

The effects of hearing aid gain on speech perception and the articulation index

This paper discusses a study to determine if changes in aided articulation indices predict changes in aided speech perception ability.

Correlation of the articulation index to the MTS test under different listening conditions

This paper reviews a study to determine the relation between the aided articulation index and the aided speech recognition scores obtained with the Monosyllable, Trochee and Spondee (MTS) Test, when administered to hearing-impaired children.

Validating the Mainstream Success Index

This paper seeks to evaluate and validate the efficiency of the Mainstream Success Index.

Development of a simple index to predict benefit and satisfaction from amplification

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of non-audiological patient-based variables; amount of bother, importance of improved hearing, and expectations, as reliable predictors of benefit and satisfaction from amplification. Study findings were then used to develop two initial prognostic indices.
