Explorant l'anatomia en CD

Amb el desenvolupament de la tecnologia del CD-ROM s'han creat un bon nombre de programes que, a partir de grans bancs d'imatges, permeten crear aplicacions interactives de gran utilitat en l'aprenentatge de l'anatomi

A method for assessing exposure of terrestrial wildlife to environmental radon ( 222 Rn) and thoron ( 220 Rn)

A method is presented to calculate radiation dose rates arising from radon, thoron and their progeny to non-human biota in the terrestrial environment. The method improves on existing methodologies for the assessment of radon to biota by using a generalised allometric approach to model respiration, calculating dose coefficients for the ICRP reference animals and plants, and extending the approach to cover thoron in addition to radon-derived isotopes. The method is applicable to a range of environmental situations involving these radionuclides in wildlife, with an envisaged application being to study the impact of human activities, which bring NORM radionuclides to the biosphere. Consequently, there is a need to determine whether there is an impact on non-human biota from exposure to anthropogenically enhanced radionuclides

Participació i equivalència del rendiment dels alumnes en les activitats de docència no presencial tutoritzada (ADNPT) i en els exàmens parcials

Es presenten els resultats de participació i de rendiment assolits pels estudiants de l'assignatura optativa "Biologia del desenvolupament i Teratogènia" de la Diplomatura de Logopèdia. Es comparen les dades relatives a quatre activitats de docència no presencial tutoritzada (ADNPT) i de les parts equivalents dels dos exàmens parcials. La presentació de materials, tutories i entrega de treballs de les ADNPT s'ha fet via Campus Virtual. Els exàmens, no test, constaven de diversos tipus de pregunta. Del total de 32 alumnes matriculats el 37,5% no van participar a cap ADNPT i el 31,25 no es van presentar a cap examen. El 41%, 13 alumnes, van participar a totes les ADTNP i es van presentar als dos exàmens. Aquest últim contingent d'alumnes, considerat com el grup més implicat, ha estat seleccionat per analitzar el grau d'equivalència entre els resultats assolits a les ADNPT i als exàmens. La diferència entre ambdues notes no superava el 5% en el 46,2% d'alumnes; en el 30,8% estava entre el 5 i el 10% i en el 23,1% d'aquesta mostra d'alumnes superava el 10 %. En el 69,2% dels alumnes la nota de les ADNPT superava la dels exàmens (totes les qualificacions estaven en l'escala de 0 a 10). El grau de participació cal considerar-lo mig i les equivalències en el rendiment va ser millor en les ADNPT (mitjana: 7,0) que en els exàmens (mitjana: 6,2). Aquestes dades suggereixen més facilitat per assolir millor rendiment en les ADNPT que en els exàmens, no obstant la repercussió final a la nota no varia excessivament quan es ponderen els resultats: la nota mitjana, si les notes de les ATPN signifiquessin el 10%, seria de 6,3 mentre que si es valoressin el 50% arribarien fins al 6,6. Results concerning the involvement and achievement of the students of "Biologia del desenvolupament i Teratogènia", an elective matter of the Logopedics Diplomature, are presented. The results of four activities of "non-presential teaching" (NPT) and its equivalent parts in the mid-term exams are compared. The delivery of the teaching materials, the tutorials and the hand in of personal works had been carried out by means of Virtual Campus. The exams, of non-multiple choice format, were composed by different sort of questions. The 37,5 percent of 32 enrolled students did not participate in any NPT activity and 31,25 percent did not take any exam. Thirteen students, 41 %, of the enrolled students, did all the NPT activities and took both exams. This group of students, considered the most involved in the matter, was the chosen to analyze the degree of equivalency between the results of the NPT and the exams. The difference between both marks were less than 5% in the 46,2%; between 5 and 10 % in the 30,8% and higher than 10% in 23% of the students The qualifications reached in NPT were higher than exam's in 69,2% of the cases (all the marks were expressed in the 0-10 scale). The degree of involvement must be considered in the average and the achievement was better in the NPT (median: 7,0) than in exams (median: 6,2). This results suggest that is easier to reach better achievement in NPT than in exams, however the repercussion in the final mark did not change excessively when results are weighted: the median mark would be 6,3 if NPT would represent the 10% of the final mark and 6,6 if them represent the 50%

Acoustic emission across the magnetostructural transition of the giant magnetocaloric Gd5Si2Ge2 compound

We report on the existence of acoustic emission during the paramagnetic-monoclinic to ferromagnetic-orthorhombic magnetostructural phase transition in the giant magnetocaloric Gd5Si2Ge2 compound. The transition kinetics have been analyzed from the detected acoustic signals. It is shown that this transition proceeds by avalanches between metastable states.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
