Producción musical de cuatro canciones de la variante EDM de la música electrónica mediante de la generación digital de piezas sonoras
El propósito de este trabajo es elaborar la producción musical de cuatro canciones de la variante EDM de la música electrónica (Música Electrónica), mediante el uso de técnicas y recursos digitales como, por ejemplo, bancos sonoros, la síntesis de audio y plugins o instrumentos virtuales. La producción musical se realiza tomando como referencia las canciones de Música Electrónica compuestas e interpretadas por el DJ Valduparences ‘Dissonos Lucem’, planteando un formato acústico constituido por percusión, voz, melodías y ritmos elaborados de forma digital. El proyecto se realiza en tres etapas básicas que enmarcan el conjunto de tareas que se llevan a cabo en el desarrollo de un proyecto de producción musical. En la primera etapa, la de preproducción, se definen las características técnicas, musicales y organizacionales del proyecto de producción musical. En seguida, en la etapa de producción, se realiza la generación de todos los contenidos sonoros y piezas musicales que se incluirán en cada una de las canciones que hacen parte de la producción musical del género EDM. Finalmente se realiza la postproducción de audio, donde se llevan a cabo procesos como la edición, mezcla y masterización de las canciones.The purpose of this work is to elaborate the musical production of four songs variants of the EDM (Electronic Music) employing the usage of digital techniques and resources such as sound banks, audio synthesis, and plugins or virtual instruments. The musical production is executed taking as a reference the Electronic Music songs composed and performed by the Valduparences DJ artistically named ‘Dissonos Lucem’ proposing an acoustic format consisting of percussion, voice, melodies, and rhythms created digitally. The project fulfills three basic phases that frame the set of tasks that are carried out in the development of a music production project. In the first phase, we see the pre-production stage, where the technical, musical, and organizational characteristics of the music production project are defined. Then, the production phase, which works in the generation of all the sound content and musical pieces that are going to be included in each of the songs that are part of the musical production of the EDM genre is carried out. Finally, we reach the third and last phase, which consists of audio post-production, where processes such as editing, mixing, and mastering the songs are carried out
RECLAMO: virtual and collaborative honeynets based on trust management and autonomous systems applied to intrusion management
Security intrusions in large systems is a problem due to its lack of scalability with the current IDS-based approaches. This paper describes the RECLAMO project, where an architecture for an Automated Intrusion Response System (AIRS) is being proposed. This system will infer the most appropriate response for a given attack, taking into account the attack type, context information, and the trust and reputation of the reporting IDSs. RECLAMO is proposing a
novel approach: diverting the attack to a specific honeynet that has been dynamically built based on the attack information. Among all components forming the RECLAMO's architecture, this paper is mainly focused on defining a trust and reputation management model, essential to recognize if IDSs are exposing an honest behavior in order to accept their alerts as true. Experimental results confirm that our model helps to encourage or discourage the launch of the automatic reaction process
Optical photometry of the UCM Lists I and II. II-B band surface photometry and morphological discussion
We present Johnson B surface photometry for the UCM Survey galaxies.
One-dimensional bulge-disk decomposition is attempted, discussing on fitting
functions and computational procedures. The results from this decomposition,
jointly with concentration indices and an asymmetry coefficient, are employed
to study the morphological properties of these galaxies. We also compare our
results with the previous morphological classification established using Gunn r
imaging data and with other samples of galaxies. No major statistical
differences in morphology are found between red and blue data, although some
characteristics such as size and luminosity concentration vary. We find a
correlation between luminosity and size. Several parameters are used to
segregate the objects according to their morphological type.Comment: 19 pages, 20 PostScript figures, accepted for publication in A&A,

Radial distribution of stars, gas and dust in SINGS galaxies. I. Surface photometry and morphology
We present ultraviolet through far-infrared surface brightness profiles for
the 75 galaxies in the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS). The
imagery used to measure the profiles includes GALEX UV data, optical images
from KPNO, CTIO and SDSS, near-IR data from 2MASS, and mid- and far-infrared
images from Spitzer. Along with the radial profiles, we also provide
multi-wavelength asymptotic magnitudes and several non-parametric indicators of
galaxy morphology: the concentration index (C_42), the asymmetry (A), the Gini
coefficient (G) and the normalized second-order moment of the brightest 20% of
the galaxy's flux (M_20). Our radial profiles show a wide range of morphologies
and multiple components (bulges, exponential disks, inner and outer disk
truncations, etc.) that vary not only from galaxy to galaxy but also with
wavelength for a given object. In the optical and near-IR, the SINGS galaxies
occupy the same regions in the C_42-A-G-M_20 parameter space as other normal
galaxies in previous studies. However, they appear much less centrally
concentrated, more asymmetric and with larger values of G when viewed in the UV
(due to star-forming clumps scattered across the disk) and in the mid-IR (due
to the emission of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons at 8.0 microns and very hot
dust at 24 microns).Comment: 66 pages in preprint format, 14 figures, published in ApJ. The

The immunogenetic diversity of the HLA system in Mexico correlates with underlying population genetic structure
We studied HLA class I (HLA-A, -B) and class II (HLA-DRB1, -DQB1) allele groups and alleles by PCR-SSP based typing in a total of 15,318 mixed ancestry Mexicans from all the states of the country divided into 78 sample sets, providing information regarding allelic and haplotypic frequencies and their linkage disequilibrium, as well as admixture estimates and genetic substructure. We identified the presence of 4268 unique HLA extended haplotypes across Mexico and find that the ten most frequent (HF > 1%) HLA haplotypes with significant linkage disequilibrium (Δ’≥0.1) in Mexico (accounting for 20% of the haplotypic diversity of the country) are of primarily Native American ancestry (A*02~B*39~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*02~B*35~DRB1*08~DQB1*04, A*68~B*39~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*02~B*35~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*24~B*39~DRB1*14~DQB1*03:01, A*24~B*35~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*24~B*39~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*02~B*40:02~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*68~B*35~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02, A*02~B*15:01~DRB1*04~DQB1*03:02). Admixture estimates obtained by a maximum likelihood method using HLA-A/-B/-DRB1 as genetic estimators revealed that the main genetic components in Mexico as a whole are Native American (ranging from 37.8% in the northern part of the country to 81.5% in the southeastern region) and European (ranging from 11.5% in the southeast to 62.6% in northern Mexico). African admixture ranged from 0.0 to 12.7% not following any specific pattern. We were able to detect three major immunogenetic clusters correlating with genetic diversity and differential admixture within Mexico: North, Central and Southeast, which is in accordance with previous reports using genome-wide data. Our findings provide insights into the population immunogenetic substructure of the whole country and add to the knowledge of mixed ancestry Latin American population genetics, important for disease association studies, detection of demographic signatures on population variation and improved allocation of public health resources.Fil: Barquera, Rodrigo.

However, it remains difficult to project how long-term interactions among land use, management, and climate change will affect fire behavior, representing a key knowledge gap for sustainable management. We used expert assessment to combine opinions about past and future fire regimes from 99 wildfire researchers. We asked for quantitative and qualitative assessments of the frequency, type, and implications of fire regime change from the beginning of the Holocene through the year 2300. Results Respondents indicated some direct human influence on wildfire since at least ~ 12,000 years BP, though natural climate variability remained the dominant driver of fire regime change until around 5,000 years BP, for most study regions. Responses suggested a ten-fold increase in the frequency of fire regime change during the last 250 years compared with the rest of the Holocene, corresponding first with the intensification and extensification of land use and later with anthropogenic climate change. Looking to the future, fire regimes were predicted to intensify, with increases in frequency, severity, and size in all biomes except grassland ecosystems. Fire regimes showed different climate sensitivities across biomes, but the likelihood of fire regime change increased with higher warming scenarios for all biomes. Biodiversity, carbon storage, and other ecosystem services were predicted to decrease for most biomes under higher emission scenarios. We present recommendations for adaptation and mitigation under emerging fire regimes, while recognizing that management options are constrained under higher emission scenarios. Conclusion The influence of humans on wildfire regimes has increased over the last two centuries. The perspective gained from past fires should be considered in land and fire management strategies, but novel fire behavior is likely given the unprecedented human disruption of plant communities, climate, and other factors. Future fire regimes are likely to degrade key ecosystem services, unless climate change is aggressively mitigated. Expert assessment complements empirical data and modeling, providing a broader perspective of fire science to inform decision making and future research priorities.Peer reviewe

Measurement of the top quark forward-backward production asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric and chromomagnetic moments in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV
Abstract The parton-level top quark (t) forward-backward asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric (d̂ t) and chromomagnetic (μ̂ t) moments have been measured using LHC pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected in the CMS detector in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The linearized variable AFB(1) is used to approximate the asymmetry. Candidate t t ¯ events decaying to a muon or electron and jets in final states with low and high Lorentz boosts are selected and reconstructed using a fit of the kinematic distributions of the decay products to those expected for t t ¯ final states. The values found for the parameters are AFB(1)=0.048−0.087+0.095(stat)−0.029+0.020(syst),μ̂t=−0.024−0.009+0.013(stat)−0.011+0.016(syst), and a limit is placed on the magnitude of | d̂ t| < 0.03 at 95% confidence level.

Search for Physics beyond the Standard Model in Events with Overlapping Photons and Jets
Results are reported from a search for new particles that decay into a photon and two gluons, in events with jets. Novel jet substructure techniques are developed that allow photons to be identified in an environment densely populated with hadrons. The analyzed proton-proton collision data were collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, in 2016 at root s = 13 TeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). The spectra of total transverse hadronic energy of candidate events are examined for deviations from the standard model predictions. No statistically significant excess is observed over the expected background. The first cross section limits on new physics processes resulting in such events are set. The results are interpreted as upper limits on the rate of gluino pair production, utilizing a simplified stealth supersymmetry model. The excluded gluino masses extend up to 1.7 TeV, for a neutralino mass of 200 GeV and exceed previous mass constraints set by analyses targeting events with isolated photons.Peer reviewe
