Air Traffic Control: A Local Approach to the Trajectory Segmentation Issue

Proceedings of: 23rd International Conference on Industrial, Engineering & Other Applications of Applied Intelligent Systems (IEA-AIE 2010) Córdoba-Spain, June 04-06, 2010This paper presents a new approach for trajectory segmentation in the area of Air Traffic Control, as a basic tool for offline validation with recorded opportunity traffic data. Our approach uses local information to classify each measurement individually, constructing the final segments over these classified samples as the final solution of the process. This local classification is based on a domain transformation using motion models to identify the deviations at a local scale, as an alternative to other global approaches based on combinatorial analysis over the trajectory segmentation domain.This work was supported in part by Projects CICYT TIN2008-06742-C02-02/TSI, CICYT TEC2008-06732-C02-02/TEC, CAM CONTEXTS (S2009/TIC-1485) and DPS2008-07029-C02-02.Publicad

Proceedings of: 23rd International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Other Applications of Applied Intelligent Systems, IEA/AIE 2010, Cordoba, Spain, June 1-4, 2010.This paper presents a general framework to define a context aware application and analyzes social guarantees to be considered to develop this kind of applications following legal assumptions as privacy, human rights, etc. We present a review of legal issues in biometric user identification where several legal aspects have been developed in European Union regulation and a general framework to define context aware applications. As main result, paper presents a legal framework to be taken into account in any context-based application to ensure a harmonious and coherent system for the protection of fundamental rights.This work was supported in part by Projects CICYT TIN2008-06742-C02-02/TSI, CICYT TEC2008-06732-C02-02/TEC, CAM CONTEXTS (S2009/TIC-1485) and DPS2008-07029- C02-02.Publicad

Peran Fingering Pada Teknik Pizzicato Dan Harmonics Dalam Reinterpretasi Karya Maurice Ravel

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui peran fingering pada teknik pizzicato dan harmonics dalam upaya reinterpretasi terhadap repertoar Tzigane karya Maurice Ravel. Sering kita jumpai bahwa solois menerapkan penjarian yang berbeda dari penjarian yang sudah ditentukan dalam partitur. Tidak hanya itu, perbedaan juga terjadi antara solois yang satu dan yang lainnya meskipun memainkan karya yang sama. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori yang meliputi fingering, pizzicato, harmonic dan interpretasi yang nantinya akan membantu dalam proses realisasi pada dinamika, warna suara dan artikulasi sebagai bentuk dari reinterpretasi seorang solois.  Metode Penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Kasus yang digunakan adalah teknik pizzicato dan harmonics pada repertoar Tzigane karya Maurice Ravel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa fingering pada teknik pizzicato mempengaruhi keberhasilan solois dalam merealisasikan reinterpretasi melalui teknik. Sedangkan fingering pada teknik harmonics dapat mendukung solois dalam merubah atau menguatkan kesan musikal tertentu berdasarkan rancangan reinterpretasi (blueprint).Kata kunci : fingering, pizzicato, harmonics, reinterpretasi, Maurice Ravel. ABSTRACTThe Role Of Fingering In Pizzicato And Harmonics Techniques In Reinterpretation Of Maurice Ravel's WorksThe purpose of this study was determine the role of fingering in the pizzicato technique and harmonics in an effort to reinterpret Maurice Ravel's Tzigane repertoire. We often find that the soloist applies fingering that is different from the fingering that has been determined in the scores. Not only that, differences also occur between one soloist and another even though they play the same work. This Study used the theory that includes fingering, pizzicato, harmonics and interpretation, which will help the process of realizing dynamics, timbre and articulation as a form of reinterpretation by a soloist. The research method used is a qualitative method with a case study approach. The case used is the pizzicato technique and harmonics in Maurice Ravel's Tzigane repertoire. The results of the study show that fingering in the pizzicato technique influences the success of the soloist in realizing reinterpretation through technique. Meanwhile, fingering in harmonics techniques can support soloists in changing or strengthening certain musical impressions based on reinterpretation designs (blueprints).Keywords: fingering, pizzicato, harmonics, reinterpretation, Maurice Ravel

Bioethanol carbon footprint: integrated 2019 report

Report on bioethanol carbon footprint BIO4 BG1 BG2(2019). This document summarizes the preliminary analysis of the productive chain of bioethanol and by-products from corn by Bio4 and its integrated biogas plants Rio Cuarto CórdobaPreliminary analysis of the productive chain of bioethanol and by-products from corn by Bio4 and its integrated biogas plants Rio Cuarto, Córdoba. The growing concern about the sustainability of biofuels has led scientific institutions, academics as well as certain governments and institutions to work intensively on these issues. Given the significant participation of Argentina as the world's leading exporter of biofuels, its evolution is analyzed with great attention as well as other possible sources of biomass, which implies a new demand for INTA areas and programs as well as its units. Within the criteria of sustainability, one of the analyzed is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) derived from the use of biofuels. In particular, the Directive proposes that a reduction of at least 35% must be ensured in order to be able to access the corresponding tax benefits, subsequently raising a level of reductions as of 2017 (50%) and as of 2018 (60%).Instituto de Ingeniería RuralFil: Hilbert, Jorge Antonio.

RustOnt: An Ontology to Explain Weather Favorable Conditions of the Coffee Rust

Crop disease management in smart agriculture involves applying and using new technologies to reduce the impact of diseases on the quality of products. Coffee rust is a disease that factors such as poor agronomic management activities and climate conditions may favor. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the relationships between these factors and this disease to learn how to face its consequences and build intelligent systems to provide appropriate management or help farmers and experts make decisions accordingly. Nevertheless, there are no studies in the literature that propose ontologies to model these factors and coffee rust. This paper presents a new ontology called RustOnt to help experts more accurately model data, expressions, and samples related to coffee rust and apply it whilst taking into account the geographical location where the ontology is adopted. Consequently, this ontology is crucial for coffee rust monitoring and management by means of smart agriculture systems. RustOnt was successfully evaluated considering quality criteria such as clarity, consistency, modularity, and competence against a set of initial requirements for which it was built.project "System based on knowledge engineering for the agroecological management of coffee rust", grant 823-Formation of high-level human capital for the regions-Cauc

Assessment and forecasting of solar resource: applications to the solar energy industry

En la presente tesis doctoral se lleva a cabo un estudio de la evaluación y de la predicción del recurso solar para su aplicación en el campo de la industria solar. El objetivo principal es mejorar el conocimiento sobre varios aspectos de la radiación solar como fuente primaria de energía. Sin embargo, a pesar del incesante desarrollo tecnológico y el considerable abaratamiento de costes, su grado de introducción dentro de los sistemas eléctricos a gran escala está todavía lejos de su potencial real. Esto es debido en gran parte a que, a pesar de que la radiación solar es la fuente primaria de energía más abundante del planeta, presenta de forma natural una gran variabilidad espacio-temporal. Esta característica constituye la mayor fuente de incertidumbre en el desarrollo de los proyectos solares, tanto en la fase inicial de estudio de viabilidad como durante la fase de operación. Con el fin de contribuir a la reducción de dicha incertidumbre, en el trabajo de investigación llevado a cabo en esta tesis doctoral se han desarrollado y evaluado métodos para la caracterización y la estimación de la irradiancia solar en superficie, tanto para la componente global (GHI) como para la directa (DNI).In this thesis a study of the assessment and forecasting of the solar resource for its application in the solar industry is carried out. The main objective is to improve the knowledge about various aspects of solar radiation as primary energy source. . However, despite the relentless technological development and the considerable cost reductions, its degree of introduction at large-scale into power systems is still far from its real potential. This is due mainly to the fact that, although solar radiation is the most abundant primary energy source in the planet, it naturally presents a great spatial and temporal variability. This characteristic constitutes the major source of uncertainty in the development of solar projects, both in the initial phase of feasibility study and during the phase of operation. In order to contribute to the reduction of this uncertainty, the research work carried out in this thesis has developed and evaluated methods for the characterization and estimation of surface solar irradiance, both components: global (GHI) and direct (DNI).Tesis Univ.

Conceptualizing Landscapes: A Comparative Study of Landscape Categories with Navajo and English-speaking Participants

Abstract. Understanding human concepts, spatial and other, is not only one of the most prominent topics in the cognitive and spatial sciences; it is also one of the most challenging. While it is possible to focus on specific aspects of our spatial environment and abstract away complexities for experimental purposes, it is important to understand how cognition in the wild or at least with complex stimuli works, too. The research presented in this paper addresses emerging topics in the area of landscape conceptualization and explicitly uses a diversity fostering approach to uncover potentials, challenges, complexities, and patterns in human landscape concepts. Based on a representation of different landscapes (images) responses from two different populations were elicited: Navajo and the (US) crowd. Our data provides support for the idea of conceptual pluralism; we can confirm that participant responses are far from random and that, also diverse, patterns exist that allow for advancing our understanding of human spatial cognition with complex stimuli
