Espacios expositivos virtuales: Proyecto UMUSEO, una nueva opción para la difusión artística.
Authors: Caballero Cano Francisco Javier 
Published: December 2015

<p>The technology revolution has, in recent years, meant something of a transformation in the way we perceive art and, at the same time, in our way of understanding art exhibition spaces. New works demand updated spaces and different approaches to their care and exhibition. American museums were the first to respond to these changes and begin to put resources behind the necessary objectives. Throughout the 1980s a revolutionary process unfolded which focused on changing attitudes<br />and opening up to a growing and increasingly diverse audience.<br />This process soon spread to the rest of the world and gradually museums and exhibition spaces started to become part of an overall impulse of opening-up and conceptual change that, judging by the outcomes, was precisely what society was waiting and asking for. Rather than change their collections, museums changed their interpretation of them, the way in which they were brought to their publics, their approach to external communications and the role of visitors.<br />New information technologies (particularly the most recent) offer museums the chance to respond to society’s requirements. Hence access to museums takes on a whole new dimension. As well as the traditional uses of the Internet, art online offers two new possibilities: interactivity and the removal of physical barriers. Museums online are open to anybody and everybody, at any time of day, offering easy access and the scope for users to relate directly with a virtual exhibition space. The emergence of the Internet has transcended the barriers of space and time, enabling real-time communication with people from all continents, meaning that messages can be conveyed with limitless reach.<br />The University of Murcia´s Virtual Museum project – UMUSEO – makes an innovative contribution to the possibilities offered by new technologies in the realm of artistic production and its dissemination. This is a research project designed to be a Centre for a range of art-forms operating exclusively online and specialising in exhibitions relating to the artistic heritage of the University of Murcia.<br />In the 1960s and 70s questions started to be asked about the role of museums and their future, giving rise to the idea that museums had become passive exhibition centres. Today they are continually evolving, becoming centres of active experimentation in which public participation takes on a special relevance.</p>

Published: December 2015

<p>The project “Marcus Caelius – the Value of Memory” is a 8 minute short animation movie located in the Roman Bologna at the Augustan Age. It originated with the Civical Archaeological Museum of Bologna in collaboration with Cineca VisIT-Lab. The project emploies a well known historical fact (the Battle of Teutoburg) to enable a philological approach within an emotional/narrative process. New philologically accurate reconstructions (i.e archaeological finds hedged in the Museum’s collection) are integrated with 3D historical sets caming form previous Cineca projects. Mixed movie-making techniques, such as Blender rendering, Chroma key and Machinima animation, implemented an ad hoc production pipeline in order to define times and costs which could be supported by a small production.</p>

Authors: Noguera José M. , Gutiérrez María V. , Castillo Juan C. , Segura Rafael J. 
Published: December 2015

<p>Virtual archaeology is an interesting way to promote cultural heritage with touristic purposes. This paper proposes to apply virtual reality techniques on mobile devices in order to exploit the unique features provided by these devices: ubiquity and location-awareness. Firstly, we propose a client-server framework that provides realistic 3D maps on mobile devices according to the user’s location. Following, we describe a study case that applies this technology to implement a 3D touristic guide. This guide aims at promoting the territorial organization and defensive buildings during the low Middle Ages in the “Council of Baeza”, Spain. However, the proposed guide can be easily expanded to cover any geographic area and historic age.</p>

Authors: Sanchez de Dios Manuel 
Published: December 2015

El objeto de este trabajo es analizar las transformaciones de la política social en América Latina en el contexto de la emergencia de un Estado de bienestar institucional-redistributivo. Para entender los cambios producidos se tienen en consideración las teorías de la refoma institucional y se estudian las transformaciones realizadas en el siglo XX y en los comienzos del siglo XXI para sustituir un régimen de seguridad social de rasgos residuales, basado en la segmentación de las prestaciones y en programas de lucha contra la pobreza, por otro universalista de naturaleza redistributiva. Se valora en particular la evolución reciente de los casos más avanzados en la construcción del Estado de bienestar: Costa Rica, Chile, Argentina, Brasil y Uruguay
Enhanced thermoelectric power of single-wall carbon nanotube film blended with ionic liquid
Authors: Horike Shohei , Misaki Masahiro , Koshiba Yasuko , Saito Takeshi , Ishida Kenji 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
We have investigated the thermoelectric power of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with an ionic liquid (IL). The SWCNT/IL films showed simultaneous increase in electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient compared with the pristine SWCNT. No thermoelectric power was observed for the IL. The X-ray diffraction pattern and impedance diagram showed a unique behavior with the concentration of IL, which implies that the interaction between the SWCNTs and IL enhances the thermoelectric power of the SWCNTs. As a result of the simultaneous increase in these parameters, the power factor exhibited a 10-fold increase.
FOTOGRAFIA, INFÂNCIA E EDUCAÇÃO: TESSITURAS DA PRÁTICA DOCENTE NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

Published: December 2015

<p>Esse artigo trata do registro fotográfico e suas possibilidades na prática docente na educação infantil, fruto de um Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso de Pedagogia. Nele buscamos refletir sobre as contribuições das ferramentas da ação pedagógica para prática docente: descrevendo as experiências docentes com a fotografia, decorridas de uma experiência de estágio na educação infantil; identificando as narrativas e os saberes que se produzem sobre a infância por meio do registro fotográfico e, desta forma, delineando aspectos que julgamos importante na constituição do professor. Para tanto, fizemos uma aproximação aos registros fotográficos produzidos no campo de estágio, dando embasamento com as teorias produzidas referentes à documentação pedagógica e o registro fotográfico. Compreendemos que o registro fotográfico se fez uma importante ferramenta da prática docente, pois assim como a observação e o registro escrito, também contribuiu sistematicamente para uma reflexão sobre a infância e os lugares que as crianças ocupam no meio socioeducativo. Preocupamo-nos com apropriação do recurso fotográfico como “meio”, e não para “fins” de comprovação das ações/vivências e experiências da prática docente. Nesse sentido, ressaltando que é necessário educar o olhar, fazendo um distanciamento sobre essa relação do uso da fotografia no cotidiano e do uso dela como uma ferramenta da prática docente em que se faz produzir sentido à prática educativa. Buscamos tratar das possibilidades de ampliarmos as discussões acerca da utilização da fotografia como um recurso metodológico na prática pedagógica da Educação Infantil, incidindo significativamente nos saberes que elaboramos sobre criança, infância e sua educação. <strong></strong></p>

Jia, K., Fleiter, J., King, M., Sheehan, M., Ma, W., & Zhang, J. (2015). Knowledge and behaviors of drunk-driving offenders in Guangzhou, China. The International Journal Of Alcohol And Drug Research, 4(2), 151-158. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.7895/ijadr.v4i2.203Aims: To better understand the knowledge and behaviors of drunk-driving offenders relating to alcohol use and driving in thecontext of recently amended Chinese legislation, and to investigate the involvement of alcohol-use disorders.Design: The study was a cross-sectional survey conducted in 2012.Setting and participants: Data were collected at a local jail and 101 participants were recruited while in detention.Measures: Questionnaire items examined demographic characteristics as well as practices and knowledge relating to alcohol useand driving. The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) was used to assess hazardous drinking levels.Findings: Knowledge about the two legal limits for “drink driving” and for “drunk driving” was low, at 28.3% and 41.4%,respectively. AUDIT scores indicated that a substantial proportion of the offenders had high levels of alcohol-use disorders.Higher AUDIT scores were found among the least experienced drivers, those who lacked knowledge about the legal limits, andrecidivist drunk drivers.Conclusions: Limited awareness of legal alcohol limits might contribute to offending; high AUDIT scores suggest thathazardous drinking levels may also contribute. This study provides important information to assist in refining communityeducation and prevention efforts.
Anthropogenic and natural contributions to the Southeast Pacific precipitation decline and recent megadrought in central Chile
Authors: Boisier Juan P. , Rondanelli Roberto , Garreaud René D. , Muñoz Francisca 
Published: December 2015

AbstractWithin large uncertainties in the precipitation response to greenhouse gas forcing, the Southeast Pacific drying stands out as a robust signature within climate models. A precipitation decline, of consistent direction but of larger amplitude than obtained in simulations with historical climate forcing, has been observed in central Chile since the late 1970s. To attribute the causes of this trend, we analyze local rain gauge data and contrast them to a large ensemble of both fully coupled and sea surface temperature‐forced simulations. We show that in concomitance with large‐scale circulation changes, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation explains about half of the precipitation trend observed in central Chile. The remaining fraction is unlikely to be driven exclusively by natural phenomena but rather consistent with the simulated regional effect of anthropogenic climate change. We particularly estimate that a quarter of the rainfall deficit affecting this region since 2010 is of anthropogenic origin. An increased persistence and recurrence of droughts in central Chile emerges then as a realistic scenario under the current socioeconomic pathway.

Published: December 2015

AbstractVenus serves as the prototype of solar wind interaction with unmagnetized planetary bodies with atmospheres. It has no intrinsic dipole or crustal magnetic field; the only magnetic field is believed to be formed by the draped interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). However, the large‐scale magnetic field observed over the north polar region of Venus has a bias in the dawnward direction and seemingly unresponsive to the IMF's direction. Here we show that besides the draped field, there is a second type of induced global magnetic field at Venus and the dawnward field is only a part of it. This global field has a distribution in a cylindrical shell around the magnetotail and a counterclockwise direction looking from the planetary tail toward the Sun, which demonstrates that there are two currents flowing out and in of the planet along the inner and outer boundaries of the looping field, respectively.
Wave transformation and shoreline water level on Funafuti Atoll, Tuvalu
Authors: Beetham Edward , Kench Paul S. , O'Callaghan Joanne , Popinet Stéphane 
Published: December 2015

AbstractThe influence of sea swell (SS) waves, infragravity (IG) waves, and wave setup on maximum runup (Rmax) is investigated across different tidal stages on Fatato Island, Funafuti Atoll, Tuvalu. Field results illustrate that SS waves are tidally modulated at the shoreline, with comparatively greater wave attenuation and setup occurring at low tide versus high tide. A shoreward increase in IG wave height is observed across the 100 m wide reef flat at all tidal elevations, with no tidal modulation of IG wave height at the reef flat or island shoreline. A 1‐D shock‐capturing Green‐Naghdi solver is used to replicate the field deployment and analyze Rmax. Model outputs for SS wave height, IG wave height and setup at the shoreline match field results with model skill >0.96. Model outputs for Rmax are used to identify the temporal window when geomorphic activity can occur on the beach face. During periods of moderate swell energy, waves can impact the beach face at spring low tide, due to a combination of wave setup and strong IG wave activity. Under mean wave conditions, the combined influence of setup, IG waves and SS waves results in interaction with island sediment at midtide. At high tide, SS and IG waves directly impact the beach face. Overall, wave activity is present on the beach face for 71% of the study period, a significantly longer duration than is calculated using mean water level and topographic data.
Beach steepness effects on nonlinear infragravity‐wave interactions: A numerical study

Published: December 2015

AbstractThe numerical model SWASH is used to investigate nonlinear energy transfers between waves for a diverse set of beach profiles and wave conditions, with a specific focus on infragravity waves. We use bispectral analysis to study the nonlinear triad interactions, and estimate energy transfers to determine energy flows within the spectra. The energy transfers are divided into four types of triad interactions, with triads including either one, two or three infragravity‐frequency components, and triad interactions solely between sea‐swell wave frequencies. The SWASH model is validated with a high‐resolution laboratory data set on a gently sloping beach, which shows that SWASH is capable of modeling the detailed nonlinear interactions. From the simulations, we observe that especially the beach slope affects nonlinear infragravity‐wave interactions. On a low‐sloping beach, infragravity‐wave energy dominates the water motion close to shore. Here infragravity‐infragravity interactions dominate and generate higher harmonics that lead to the steepening of the infragravity wave and eventually breaking, causing large infragravity energy dissipation. On the contrary, on a steep‐sloping beach, sea‐swell wave energy dominates the water motion everywhere. Here infragravity frequencies interact with the spectral peak and spread energy to a wide range of higher frequencies, with relatively less infragravity energy dissipation. Although both beach types have different nonlinear interaction patterns during infragravity‐wave dissipation, the amount of infragravity‐wave reflection can be estimated by a single parameter, the normalized bed slope.

Published: December 2015

AbstractContinental margins play an important role in global carbon cycle, accounting for 15–21% of the global marine primary production. Since carbon fluxes across continental margins from land to the open ocean are not well constrained, we undertook a study to develop satellite algorithms to retrieve dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and combined these satellite data with physical circulation model products to quantify the shelf boundary fluxes of DOC for the U.S. Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB). Satellite DOC was computed through seasonal relationships of DOC with colored dissolved organic matter absorption coefficients, which were derived from an extensive set of in situ measurements. The multiyear time series of satellite‐derived DOC stocks (4.9 Teragrams C; Tg) shows that freshwater discharge influences the magnitude and seasonal variability of DOC on the continental shelf. For the 2010–2012 period studied, the average total estuarine export of DOC into the MAB shelf is 0.77 Tg C yr−1 (year). The integrated DOC tracer fluxes across the shelf boundaries are 12.1 Tg C yr−1 entering the MAB from the southwest alongshore boundary, 18.5 Tg C yr−1 entering the MAB from the northeast alongshore boundary, and 29.0 Tg C yr−1 flowing out of the MAB across the entire length of the 100 m isobath. The magnitude of the cross‐shelf DOC flux is quite variable in time (monthly) and space (north to south). The highly dynamic exchange of water along the shelf boundaries regulates the DOC budget of the MAB at subseasonal time scales.
Multiobjective adaptive surrogate modeling‐based optimization for parameter estimation of large, complex geophysical models

Published: December 2015

AbstractParameter specification is an important source of uncertainty in large, complex geophysical models. These models generally have multiple model outputs that require multiobjective optimization algorithms. Although such algorithms have long been available, they usually require a large number of model runs and are therefore computationally expensive for large, complex dynamic models. In this paper, a multiobjective adaptive surrogate modeling‐based optimization (MO‐ASMO) algorithm is introduced that aims to reduce computational cost while maintaining optimization effectiveness. Geophysical dynamic models usually have a prior parameterization scheme derived from the physical processes involved, and our goal is to improve all of the objectives by parameter calibration. In this study, we developed a method for directing the search processes toward the region that can improve all of the objectives simultaneously. We tested the MO‐ASMO algorithm against NSGA‐II and SUMO with 13 test functions and a land surface model ‐ the Common Land Model (CoLM). The results demonstrated the effectiveness and efficiency of MO‐ASMO.
Lifetime Distributions
Authors: McCollin Chris 
Published: December 2015

AbstractLifelength is discussed in the context of repairable systems and nonrepairable items. The methods of analysis of repairable systems are considered. The inter‐event times of these systems can be regarded as independently and identically distributed once trend and seasonality have been discounted. The inter‐event times can be ordered and then treated in the same way as times to failure of nonrepairable items. The bathtub curve is discussed in the context of the Weibull distribution shape parameter. Other distributions are also considered.
Posterior Predictive Distribution
Authors: Barbieri Maria Maddalena 
Published: December 2015

AbstractThe posterior predictive distribution is the distribution of future observations, conditioned on the information available from existing observations. It is the main Bayesian tool for treating predictive problems in statistics. We define the posterior predictive distribution and illustrate its main features in Bayesian parametric inference. We also focus on predictive model checking and selection, which are procedures for checking model adequacy and for selecting a model, when the analysis is based on a posterior predictive approach.
