A characterization of non-archimedeanly quasimetrizable spaces

In this paper we introduce a new structure on topological spaces which allows us to give a characterization of non-archimedeanly quasipseudometrizable spaces

Dimension, inverse limits and GF-spaces

In this paper we characterize (covering) dimension in metrizable spaces in terms of fractal structures. We will also study dimension for compact metric spaces, giving a theorem relating dimension and a certain class of inverse limits, similar to that of Freudenthal

Detection and Analysis of Anomalies in People Density and Mobility Through Wireless Smartphone Tracking

One of the challenges of this century is to use the data that a smart-city provides to make life easier for its inhabitants. Speci cally, within the area of urban mobility, the possibility of detecting anomalies in the movement of pedestrians and vehicles is an issue of vital importance for the planning and administration of a city. The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology to detect the movement of people from the information transmitted by their smart mobile devices, analyze these data, and be able to detect or recognize anomalies in their behavior. In order to validate this methodology, different experiments have been carried out based on real data aiming to extract knowledge, as well as obtaining a characterisation of the anomalies detected. The use of this methodology might help the city policy makers to better manage their mobility and transport resources.This work was supported by in part by the Dirección General de Tráfico under Project SPIP2017-02116, in part by the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades under Grant RTI2018-102002-A-I00, in part by the Ministerio español de Economía y Competitividad under Grant TIN2017-85727-C4-2-P, in part by the FEDER under Grant TEC2015-68752, and in part by the FEDER y Junta de Andalucía under Project B-TIC-402-UGR18

Effects of resistance training program on muscle mass and muscle strength and the relationship with cognition in Older Women

The aim of this study was to study the effects of a resistance training programme on Maximal Dynamic Strength (MDS) and muscle morphology of the upper limbs (UL) and lower limbs (LL), as well as to analyse their association with cognition, in a population of older women. The study had a duration of 24 months and a total of 93 Chilean older women participated. The participants were divided into two groups: The Physical Activity Group (PAG, n = 45, age (X ± SD) 77.93 ± 3.54 years), and the Sedentary Group (SG, n = 48, age (X ± SD) 77.71 ± 3.41 years). The PAG carried out a muscle strength training routine twice per week. The following variables were evaluated: Muscle function through maximal dynamic strength (1RM), muscle morphology through arm and calf circumference (AC and CC, respectively), and cognition (Mini Mental State Examination: MMSE). The results show that the SG recorded significant decreases (percent changes; p < 0.05) in the analysed variables: MMSE (-3.5%), MDS in UL (-3.3%), MDS in LL (-4.1%), AC (-4.5%), CC (-4.1%), and BMI (-3.1%). However, the PAG improved significantly in all the analysed variables except in BMI: MMSE (3.9%), MDS in UL (3.6%), MDS in LL (3.5%), AC (1.8%), and CC (2.5%). Moreover, there was a significant association (p < 0.05) between the changes in the muscle strength variables and the changes in cognition level. Therefore, it can be concluded that a two-year muscle strength training programme (load intensity between 30-55% 1RM) in older women improves Maximal Dynamic Strength in UL and LL, as well as muscle mass in arms and calves. Furthermore, it can be asserted that the changes in muscle strength levels could predict the changes in the levels of cognition in older women. © 2021 by the authors.

El síndrome facetar lumbar: Tratamiento mediante infiltraciones facetarias con fenol

Se presenta una serie de 125 pacientes afectos de cuadro de lumbociatalgia atípica, diagnosticados de síndrome facetario y tratados con infiltraciones de solución fenolada en las articulaciones interapofisarias posteriores afectadas, seguidas de un programa de rehabilitación protocolizado tras las infiltraciones. A propósito de los mismos y tras una análisis estadístico de los datos obtenidos del estudio, se establecen algunos criterios para el tratamiento de pacientes aquejados de este tipo de patología.The authors present a series of 125 patients afflicted with an atypical sciatic low-back pain, who were diagnosed of "facet joint syndrome" and treated with injections of phenol solution in the affected lumbar zygapophysial joints. The patients followed a protocolized rehabilitation program. After an statistical analysis of the data obtained from the study, some criteria are stabilized for the treatment of patients suffering this pathology

Numerical analysis of the low velocity regions in an array of three horizontal 90° elbows conducting water

Paper presented at the 5th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, South Africa, 1-4 July, 2007.The numerical simulation and the results analysis, of the velocity and pressure fields in a three 90º elbows horizontal array are presented in this paper. A turbulent water flow ranging in a [44000, 176000] Reynolds number was used for the simulation with Fluent®. The velocity profile and the static pressure distribution inside the pipe and the three elbows array were analyzed when the separation distance between the elbows 1 - 2, and 2 - 3 were changed. The pipe diameter used for the simulation was 44 mm, and all the elbows had an average curvature radius of 100 mm. the tested separation between the elbows (L1 and L2) was varied from 0D to 10D. Results show that there is a minimum separation distance between elbows 1 and 2 where there is no more influence on the velocity profile in the first elbow and then the lowest velocity zone could be used for metrology and separation purposes.cs201

Docencia de Arquitectura Orientada a Servicios

Este trabajo presenta los contenidos del curso “Web 2.0: Arquitectura Orientada a Servicios en Java” de la Escuela de Posgrado de la Universidad de Granada. El objetivo del curso es familiarizar al alumno con la programación de ServiciosWeb. Dada la gran variedad de técnicas disponibles para utilizar Arquitectura Orientada a Servicios, se presentan los siguientes temas: utilización de protocolos bien definidos para comunicación y contrato (SOAP y WSDL), creación de Web Services con JAX-WS y orquestación de ServiciosWeb con BPEL. Al final del curso, el alumno será capaz de crear, utilizar y mantener Servicios Web para el desarrollo de aplicaciones interempresariales, utilizando servicios creados o ya disponibles en la web, así como la orquestación lógica de los mismos.This work presents the contents of the course “Web 2.0: Service Oriented Architecture on Java” from the Graduate School of the University of Granada.

Mesoscopic structure conditions the emergence of cooperation on social networks

We study the evolutionary Prisoner's Dilemma on two social networks obtained from actual relational data. We find very different cooperation levels on each of them that can not be easily understood in terms of global statistical properties of both networks. We claim that the result can be understood at the mesoscopic scale, by studying the community structure of the networks. We explain the dependence of the cooperation level on the temptation parameter in terms of the internal structure of the communities and their interconnections. We then test our results on community-structured, specifically designed artificial networks, finding perfect agreement with the observations in the real networks. Our results support the conclusion that studies of evolutionary games on model networks and their interpretation in terms of global properties may not be sufficient to study specific, real social systems. In addition, the community perspective may be helpful to interpret the origin and behavior of existing networks as well as to design structures that show resilient cooperative behavior.Comment: Largely improved version, includes an artificial network model that fully confirms the explanation of the results in terms of inter- and intra-community structur
