Ampliación y política social: situación de los países candidatos e implicaciones sociales para la futura Unión Europea (2004)

These results demonstrated that ADTM displayed much better cardioprotective effects than its parent compounds both in vitro and in vivo. This cardioprotection is mediated, at least in part, through Akt/PI3K and Nrf2 pathways. This novel compound represents a promising candidate for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), particularly myocardial infarction.
Pea seeds (Pisum sativum), faba beans (Vicia faba var. minor) and lupin seeds (Lupinus albus var. multitalia) as protein sources in broiler diets: effect of extrusion on growth performance (2006)

The effect of extrusion of pea seeds (Pisum sativum) (PS), faba bean (Vicia faba, variety minor) (FB) and lupin seeds (Lupinus albus, variety multitalia) (LS) on broiler performance were evaluated. Four hundred sixty two 1d-old Ross male chicks, Marek vaccinated, were randomly assigned to seven dietary treatments (3 pens per treatment/22 birds per pen). Chicks were floor housed, ad libitum fed isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets and had free access to water. Artificial light was provided 10 h/d. The bulk of the base diet (control diet) was corn (48.8%, 53.7% and 57%), solvent-extracted soybean meal (42.8%, 37.3% and 33.4%), corn oil (4.4%, 5.2% and 6.3%), plus synthetic amino acids, minerals, trace minerals and vitamins, respectively for the 1-10d-old, 11-28d-old and 29 to 42d-old growing periods. The amounts of PS, FB and LS used on an as fed basis were: PS and extruded PS (EPS): 353 (1-10d-old), 356 (11-28d-old) and 350 (29-42d-old) g/kg; FB and extruded FB (EFB): 479 (1-10d-old), 497 (11-28d-old) and 500 (29-42d old) g/kg; LS and extruded LS (ELS): 360 (1-10d-old) and 300 (11-42d-old) g/kg. High levels of pea (350 g/kg) and faba bean (500 g/kg) did not show negative effects on body weight gain (BWG) and bird feed intake compared to control. Lupin at the 300 g/kg level reduced (P < 0.05) the BWG during the finishing period (22 to 42 d), however the effect disappeared over the whole experimental period (1-42 d) compared to the control group. The ELS group had a lower (P < 0.01) feed intake compared to the control group and to the LS group. The feed conversion rate (FCR) was similar among groups for the whole experimental period; however during the grower period the FCR was higher (P < 0.05) for the PS, FB and EFB groups compared to the control group. Birds consuming the PS diet had a reduced (P < 0.05) eviscerated carcass yield compared to the control group. The breast meat percent yield was higher (P < 0.01) for birds consuming the FB and EFB diets compared to the control group. There were no statistical differences in percent yield of the leg quarters and in blood parameters.
Physical Properties and Metal Ion Specific Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Images of Metal(II) Tetraphenylporphyrins Deposited from Vapor onto Gold (111) (2000)

Thin films of vapor deposited Cu(II), Ni(II), and Co(II) complexes of tetraphenylporphyrin (CuTPP, NiTPP, and CoTPP) supported on gold are studied by Reflectance Absorption Infrared Spectroscopy (RAIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In addition, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images of ultrathin (submonolayer) thermally deposited films of CoTPP and NiTPP on Au(111) are reported. The constant current STM images show a remarkable bias dependence that allows for the selective identification of different metallotetraphenylporphyrins (MTPPs). High resolution STM data are presented that clearly show the individual MTPP molecules and allow easy differentiation between NiTPP and CoTPP, even when mixed monolayer structures are studied. The strong tunneling enhancement through the Co(II) dz2 orbital at intermediate bias values parallels what is observed in Co(II) phthalocyanines and is especially interesting since the cobalt ion in CoTPP is presumed to be located several Angstroms above the Au(111) plane relative to the cobalt ion in CoPc.

Short text classification in twitter to improve information filtering (2010)

In microblogging services such as Twitter, the users may become overwhelmed by the raw data. One solution to this problem is the classification of short text messages. As short texts do not provide sufficient word occurrences, traditional classification methods such as "Bag-Of-Words" have limitations. To address this problem, we propose to use a small set of domain-specific features extracted from the author's profile and text. The proposed approach effectively classifies the text to a predefined set of generic classes such as News, Events, Opinions, Deals, and Private Messages.
On Experiences in a Complex and Competitive Gaming Domain: Reinforcement Learning Meets RoboCup (2007)

RoboCup soccer simulation features the challenges of a fully distributed multi-agent domain with continuous state and action spaces, partial observability, as well as noisy perception and action execution. While the application of machine learning techniques in this domain represents a promising idea in itself, the competitive character of RoboCup also evokes the desire to head for the development of learning algorithms that are more than just a proof of concept. In this paper, we report on our experiences and achievements in applying reinforcement learning (RL) methods in the scope of our Brainstormers competition team within the Simulation League of RoboCup during the past years
Thiopeptide-Supported Lipid Layers on Solid Substrates (1997)

The sequential layer-by-layer formation of peptide-supported bimolecular lipid membranes at solid supports is described. In the first step, thiol-derivatized peptide sequences of 5 and 7 amino acids are assembled on a Au substrate. After activation of their COOH-terminus phospholipid molecules (DMPE) are covalently attached via an amid bond to form a tethered monolayer on the Au electrode. The different preparation steps are analyzed by Fourier transform IR, X-ray reflectometry, and surface plasmon spectroscopy. The latter technique is then also used to on-line monitor at the solid/solution interface the formation of a bilayer by fusion of vesicles prepared from a fluid lipid mixture with and without reconstituted proteins. The obtained thicknesses and capacitance values are compatible with the tethered bilayer model and point to an incorporation of ATPase into these membrane matrices.

High-power diode-array-pumped frequency-doubled cw Nd:YAG laser (1989)

We report the demonstration of a diode-array-pumped Nd:YAG laser with a cw output of 3.3 W at 1.06 microm. The laser was side pumped using linear diode arrays focused with cylindrical optics to provide efficient spatial overlap between the pump and cavity modes. Intracavity doubling using KTP produced 0.76-W output repetitively Q switched at 532 nm. The electrical efficiency for the 1.06-microm output was 3.5%.
Low frequency hereditary deafness in man with childhood onset. (1981)

A large kindred of hereditary deaf affected with a progressive sensorineural loss that begins during childhood with the low audiologic frequencies is described. Deafness progresses slowly through adolescence, when losses of up to 70 decibels are often detected. Affected adults present profound losses at all frequencies. Genetically, this deafness is transmitted as a simple, dominant, and autosomal mutation. No associated abnormalities have been detected in studies involving medical examinations, care histories, quantitation of several blood serum components, electrocardiograms, electrophoretograms, and karyotypes.
Gelation and Coagulation (1981)

The structural characteristics of a variety of food systems are complexly related to the physicochemical protein phenomena of aggregation, coagulation and/or gelation. These phenomena are physical manifestations of protein denaturation processes which are highly dependent upon the type and amount of protein, processing conditions, pH and ionic environment. A complex interrelationship between association-dissociation, precipitation, coagulation and gelation reactions exists in protein systems (1, 2). Protein association reactions generally refer to changes occurring at the molecular or subunit level while aggregation reactions generally involve the formation of higher molecular weight complexes from association reactions. The terms gelation and coagulation are not as clearly defined. Gelation may be theoretically defined as a protein aggregation phenomenon in which polymer-polymer and polymer-solvent interactions and in which attractive and repulsive forces are so balanced that a well ordered tertiary network or matrix is formed. This matrix is capable of immobilizing or trapping extremely large amounts
Site of fasciculin interaction with acetylcholinesterase (1994)

Fasciculin, a 6750-Da peptide from the venom of Dendroaspis, is known to inhibit reversibly mammalian and fish acetylcholinesterases at picomolar concentrations, but is a relatively weak inhibitor of avian, reptile, and insect acetylcholinesterases and mammalian butyryl-cholinesterases. An examination of fasciculin association with several mutant forms of recombinant DNA-derived acetylcholinesterase from mouse shows that it interacts with a cluster of residues near the rim of the gorge on the enzyme. The aromatic residues, Trp286, Tyr72, and Tyr124, have the most marked influence on fasciculin binding, whereas Asp74, a charged residue in the vicinity of the binding site that affects the binding of low molecular weight inhibitors, has little influence on fasciculin binding. The 3 aromatic residues are unique to the susceptible acetylcholinesterases and, along with Asp74, constitute part of the peripheral anionic site. Fasciculin falls in the family of three-loop toxins that include the receptor blocking alpha-toxins and cardiotoxins. From this basic structural motif, a binding site has evolved on fasciculin to be highly specific for the peripheral site on acetylcholinesterase. Acetylthiocholine affects rates of fasciculin binding at concentrations causing substrate inhibition. In the case of the mutant cholinesterases where rates of fasciculin dissociation are more rapid, steady state kinetic parameters also show acetylthiocholine-fasciculin competition to be consistent with occupation at a peripheral or substrate inhibition site rather than the active center.
Scent field trial (2006)

In spring of 2003, a mobile field trial of a concept prototype application titled Scent was conducted in a corporate environment, attracting more than 500 voluntary users. Scent was a social proximity application enabling scanning of one's immediate environment for other Scent users and initiating social exchanges with them. The design of Scent prototype application aimed at incorporating various facets of face-to-face social interaction. This gave trial users multiple options of using the application in any given social context during the unguided trial period. Both qualitative and quantitative data was collected and analyzed, which helped shaping up the foundation to further the research in understanding mediated social proximity interaction. The study revealed not only motivations of use, but also barriers of adoptions, which in turn had implications on evolutionary steps of the development and on the prospect of market entry. Identity expression was seen as the most rudimentary motivation in mediated social proximity interaction. The final section of the paper discusses how the research team utilized the field trial in the spearhead research project in an emerging arena of social interaction.
A New View of Silicon Electrochemistry (2000)

The salient features of the current burst model for the Si–electrolyte interface is presented in a short overview. In the current burst model, charge transfer at the Si–electrolyte interface is localized in space and time and intrinsically stochastic; all phenomena encountered in Si electrochemistry then are manifestations of the nucleation probabilities for current bursts, which depend on the system parameter in an unambiguous way. One of the unique features of the model is the existence of an internal time constant (equal to the average duration of a current pulse) which ultimately is the reason for the observed oscillations of the current in time and in space, the latter case describing pores. For pores, the intrinsic time constant is expressed as an intrinsic length scale which is determined by the interaction of current bursts within the same cycle, i.e. by the size of synchronized domains. The pore morphology is the result of the interaction of the intrinsic length scale with external length scales, e.g. the space charge region depth; smooth macropores are obtained when the relevant length scales are similar. The existence of an intrinsic time constant and length scale will be demonstrated by resonance phenomena which were observed for the first time in pore growth.

Evolutionary Design of On-Chip Antenna for HF Label (2009)

This paper proposes a genetic algorithm based optimization technique for the design of on-chip antenna. Genetic algorithm can be used to find out the optimal parameters to enhance the loop quality factor, and meet the constraints at the same time. When process condition is fixed, the loop quality is 0.3723, which is 50% higher than the loop quality got with traditional condition. And if the process condition is not fixed, the loop quality can be 6.0928.

We report the first bulk frequency tripling in the far-infrared. The experiments are carried out at 20 ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1}$ in the doped semiconductors Ge, Si, and GaAs. Good power conversion efficiency is obtained (${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}3}$). Our arrangement allows an absolute determination of the nonlinear susceptibility ${\ensuremath{\chi}}^{(3)}$(3\ensuremath{\omega},\ensuremath{\omega},\ensuremath{\omega},\ensuremath{\omega}). We show that in the far-infrared, ${\ensuremath{\chi}}^{(3)}$ is dominated by free-carrier contributions. Hence, our measurement gives new insight into nonlinear transport properties such as the momentum dependence of the effective mass and of the relaxation time. Furthermore strong changes of ${\ensuremath{\chi}}^{(3)}$ (as well as of the absorption) are found to occur at high laser intensity above 100 kW/${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$, which we attribute to carrier heating and hot carrier transfer into higher energy-band minima.
Action research scholar: the role of the scholar in action research (2002)

[Extract] The role of the scholar in action research contrasts sharply with the roles of scholars in all other forms of research. There are some commonalities of course, but the crucial difference lies in the commitment of action researchers to bring about change as part of the research act. Fundamental to action research is the idea that the social world can only be understood by trying to change it. Colombian sociology professor and community activist Orlando Fals Borda (1997, 108) summarized the evolution of the idea in this way: In the 1970s it was heretical to preach horizontal relationships in the research adventure, even in professional life. It became clear to me however that sociological investigation should not be autistic but a rite of communion between thinking and acting human beings, the researcher and the researched. The usual formality and prophylaxis of academic institutions had to be discarded and space given to some sort of down-to-earth collectivisation in the search for knowledge. This attitude I called vivencia, or life-experience (Erlebnis). Welcome to the world of the heretics! I will elaborate this perspective throughout the chapter that is structured around several themes: • My own career development • The idea of social practice • The role of professors in social practice and change • The theory and practice of participation • The objectification of experience • The disciplining of subjectivity and the engagement of affect and feeling • The disciplining of subjectivity and the enhancement of agency • The role of professors in research and community life
On the Automation of High Level Synthesis of Convolutional Neural Networks (2016)

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a particular type of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) inspired by cells in the primary visual cortex of animals, and represent the state of the art in image recognition and classification. Nowadays, such supervised learning technique is very popular in Big Data analytics. In this context, due to the huge amount of data to be processed, it is crucial to find techniques to speed up the computation. In particular, the dataflow pattern of CNN algorithm results to be suitable for hardware acceleration. This paper proposes a framework to automatically generate a hardware implementation of CNNs on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), based on the High Level Synthesis (HLS) of configurable offline-trained networks.
Hyperspectral unmixingwith sparse group lasso (2011)

Sparse unmixing has been recently introduced as a mechanism to characterize mixed pixels in remotely sensed hyper-spectral images. It assumes that the observed image signatures can be expressed in the form of linear combinations of a number of pure spectral signatures known in advance (e.g., spectra collected on the ground by a field spectroradiometer). Unmixing then amounts to finding the optimal subset of signatures in a (potentially very large) spectral library that can best model each mixed pixel in the scene. In available spectral libraries, it is observed that the spectral signatures appear organized in groups (e.g. different alterations of a single mineral in the U.S. Geological Survey spectral library). In this paper, we explore the potential of the sparse group lasso technique in solving hyperspectral unmixing problems. Our introspection in this work is that, when the spectral signatures appear in groups, this technique has the potential to yield better results than the standard sparse regression approach. Experimental results with both synthetic and real hyperspectral data are given to investigate this issue.
Reservoir Characterization and Monitoring of Cold and Thermal Heavy Oil Production Using Multi-Transient EM (2008)

Abstract Heavy oil reservoirs are typically not possible to characterize or monitor using seismic methods, since the key acoustic properties of heavy oil namely density and bulk modulus are too similar to those of water. Multi-transient EM (MTEM) is a time-domain dipole – dipole galvanic resistivity mapping technology ideally suited to estimate in situ reserves of heavy oil as well as monitoring of cold and thermal production of heavy oil. All aspects of MTEM data acquisition have been optimized to achieve a sufficiently dense surface sampling in relation to the target depth, and to reach the necessary signal to noise (S/N) at target depth in the shortest time possible with a given source strength. The spatial resolution is sufficient to characterize the total recoverable reserves within a planned Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) project, or within a volume affected by Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS), also known as "huff and puff' production. Repeatability of EM data is excellent facilitating monitoring of subtle resistivity changes with good spatial resolution. Several factors affect the resistivity during the monitoring phase. The increased temperature will lower the resistivity by up to 85 % and the changes in resistivity due to changes in water saturation are described by the Archie equation (Archie, 1942). The salinity of the pore water will be diluted when steam condenses to water resulting in a resistivity increase. In addition to these factors, the reservoir also suffers dissolution of grain cement and loss of some of the original mineral volume. At the same time the reservoir expands due to the increased fluid pressure and concomitant reduction in vertical effective stress. This leads to further increases in porosity and permeability, hence also to decreased resistivity and weakening of the bulk and shear moduli affecting the seismic response. Ideally a feasibility study for EM monitoring should be performed based on the results generated by a reservoir simulator, where the dynamic changes in the key parameters: temperature, salinity and the saturations of water, oil, hydrocarbon gas and live steam are tracked for every grid cell over time. This information can then be transformed into resistivity for each grid cell and the EM response from the steam chamber can be modeled at different time steps throughout the planned lifespan of the project. Currently, reservoir simulators cannot incorporate dynamic changes in porosity and permeability that are observed as permanent reductions of the elastic moduli and also reduced resistivity. It is necessary to better understand this so called formation damage to fully describe the evolution of the steam chamber.
