Residència d'estudiants a la farinera "la Asunción" (Poblenou, Barcelona)

El projecte consisteix en una residència d'estudiants al Poblenou. La parcela del projecte es troba entre els Carrer Llull , el carrer Roc Boronat i el Passatge Masoliver, allà on se situava l'antiga farinera La Assunción. El projecte amb la seva implantació pretén recuperar part de les construccions del recinte fabril, adaptant-les i incorporant-les al nou recinte residencial tot generant un espai públic interior per als usuaris de la residència

Fuzziness in Chang's fuzzy topological spaces

It is known that fuzziness within the concept of openness of a fuzzy set in a Chang's fuzzy topological space (fts) is absent. In this paper we introduce a gradation of openness for the open sets of a Chang jts (X, $\mathcal{T}$) by means of a map $\sigma\;:\; I^{x}\longrightarrow I\left(I=\left[0,1\right]\right)$, which is at the same time a fuzzy topology on X in Shostak 's sense. Then, we will be able to avoid the fuzzy point concept, and to introduce an adeguate theory for $\alpha$-neighbourhoods and $\alpha-T_{i}$ separation axioms which extend the usual ones in General Topology. In particular, our $\alpha$-Hausdorff fuzzy space agrees with $\alpha${*} -Rodabaugh Hausdorff fuzzy space when (X, $\mathcal{T}$) is interpreservative or $\alpha$-locally minimal

L'autoavaluació en projectes d'enginyeria: prova pilot en expressió gràfica a l'ESEIAAT

Es presenta una comunicació sobre l’Autoavaluació en projectes d’Enginyeria. És un projecte pilot començat el curs 2017-18 i que s’ha continuat en aquest curs 2018-19, en el qual els alumnes d’Expressió Gràfica s’autoavaluen. La investigació comença amb una enquesta completada pels alumnes després d’haver realitzat i presentat un projecte d’Expressió Gràfica que engloba tots els continguts i competències que adquireixen al llarg de l’assignatura. Tot i que en l’enquesta es pregunta també pel treball en equip i pel conjunt de l’assignatura, ens centrarem amb les dades corresponents al projecte, que és un treball de grup. Els alumnes hauran de valorar els seus aprenentatges de diferents competències de l’Expressió Gràfica com són: la representació de peces, l’acotació, els talls i seccions i el coneixement de geometria 3D. L’autoavaluació encara no és una avaluació vinculant, però ajuda a arribar a una valoració més consensuada, tenint en compte primerament l’avaluació del docent, sense menystenir la que realitza el propi alumn

Diagnòstic genètic preimplantacional en estadis embrionaris tardans

La incorporació de la biòpsia de blastocist en la pràctica clínica pot ser considerada com una alternativa vàlida per als cicles de diagnòstic genètic preimplantacional (DGP). La disponibilitat d'un major nombre de cèl·lules obre la possibilitat de realitzar diagnòstics múltiples en paral·lel en el mateix embrió, i es poden detectar teòricament malalties multigèniques o bé combinar diversos tipus de diagnòstic mitjançant FISH i PCR. Els embrions transferits en estadi de blastocist estan subjectes a una doble selecció: genètica i mitjançant el cultiu, i això es veu reflectit en elevades taxes d'implantació, fet que permet reduir el nombre d'embrions a transferir per tal d'evitar gestacions múltiples. Tot i que l'aplicació clínica de la biòpsia de blastocist per al DGP és encara limitada i recent, els bons resultats obtinguts pel que fa a taxes d'implantació i d'embaràs, així com les possibilitats diagnòstiques que obre, suggereixen que es tracta d'una tècnica que esdevindrà més freqüent en el futur.The incorporation of blastocyst biopsy into clinical practice can be considered as a valid alternative when performing PGD. The fact that it makes more material available for analysis is of particular value in those cases where the aim is to diagnose monogenic diseases. The availability of a greater number of cells opens the possibility of performing multiple diagdiagnoses in parallel on the same embryo; these could be used to detect multigenic diseases or for the combined diagnosis of different disorders through diagnostic approaches based on both FISH and PCR. Embryos transferred at the blastocyst stage are subjected to a dual selection process (genetic and through culture) and this is reflected in their greater implantation potential, thus enabling a lower number of embryos to be transferred, which in turn reduces the risk of multiple pregnancy. Although the clinical application of blastocyst biopsy for PGD remains a limited and recent development, the good results in terms of implantation and pregnancy rates obtained so far, as well as the diagnostic possibilities it opens up, suggest that this technique can become more widely used in the early future

A Note on Fixed Fuzzy Points for Fuzzy Mappings

We prove a fixed fuzzy point theorem for fuzzy contraction mappings (in the S. Heilpern’s sense) over a complete metric space, and as a consequence we obtain a fixed point theorem in the context of intuitionistic fuzzy sets

Effect of ageing on the availability of heavy metals in soils amended with compost and biochar: evaluation of changes in soil and amendment properties

Remediation strategies using soil amendments should consider the time dependence of metal availability to identify amendments that can sustainably reduce available pollutant concentrations over time. Drying-wetting cycles were applied on amendments, soils and soil + amendment mixtures, to mimic ageing at field level and investigate its effect on extractable Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn concentrations from three contaminated soils. The amendments investigated were municipal waste organic compost and biochars. The amendments, soils and mixtures were characterised by their physicochemical properties at different ageing times. The amendments were also characterised in terms of sorption capacity for Cd and Cu. The sorption capacity and the physicochemical properties of the amendments remained constant over the period examined. When mixed with the soils, amendments, especially the compost, immediately reduced the extractable metals in the soils with low pH and acid neutralisation capacity, due to the increase in pH and buffering capacity of the mixtures. The amendments had a relatively minor impact on the metal availability concentrations for the soil with substantially high acid neutralisation capacity. The most important changes in extractable metal concentrations were observed at the beginning of the experiments, ageing having a minor effect on metal concentrations when compared with the initial effect of amendments

Anxiety in adolescence. Can we prevent it?

Emotions are potent modulators and motivators of the behaviour that the individual displays in the different situations they have to live and they can act as a protection factor or vulnerability of the adapted or maladaptive behaviour. This study focuses on anxiety in adolescence. Objectives. The objective is, through a longitudinal study, to analyse the psychological processes and emotions that facilitate the symptoms of anxiety and those which protect the adolescent from these symptoms. 417 adolescents (192 boys and 225 girls) participated in a three-wave longitudinal study in Valencia, Spain. In the first wave, adolescents were either in the third year of secondary school (81 boys and 85 girls) or the fourth year of secondary school (111 boys and 140 girls). The mean age was 14.70 (SD = 0.68; range = 13-17 years). This study monitored participating adolescents for three years. The results indicate a differential profile in the evaluated emotions according to sex, with the girls being the ones to experiment more anxiety and more empathy, while the boys show more emotional instability and aggression. It is concluded that the best predictors for anxiety are anger state, aggressive behaviour, empathic concern together with the lack of coping mechanisms focused on problem solving and the perception of stress as a threat

This platform, formed by 60 nodes, deployed in Italy, Spain, and Austria, consisted of 140 metal–oxide O 3 sensors, 25 electro-chemical O 3 sensors, 25 electro-chemical NO 2 sensors, and 60 temperature and relative humidity sensors. As ozone is a seasonal pollutant, which appears in summer in Europe, the biggest challenge is to calibrate the sensors in a short period of time. In this paper, we compare four calibration methods in the presence of a large dataset for model training and we also study the impact of a limited training dataset on the long-range predictions. We show that the difficulty in calibrating these sensor technologies in a real deployment is mainly due to the bias produced by the different environmental conditions found in the prediction with respect to those found in the data training phase.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
