    In this article we present, analyse and evaluate a new memory management technique for video-on-demand servers. Our proposal, Memory Reservation Per Storage Device (MRPSD), relies on the allocation of a fixed, small number of memory buffers per storage device. Selecting adequate scheduling algorithms, information storage strategies and admission control mechanisms, we demonstrate that MRPSD is suited for the deterministic service of variable bit rate streams to intolerant clients. MRPSD allows large memory savings compared to traditional memory management techniques, based on the allocation of a certain amount of memory per client served, without a significant performance penaltyPublicad

    Dependence of exchange anisotropy and coercivity on the Fe–oxide structure in oxygen-passivated Fe nanoparticles

    Get PDF
    Ultrafine Fe particles have been prepared by the inert gas condensation method and subsequently oxygen passivated. The as-obtained particles consist in an Fe core surrounded by an amorphous Fe-oxide surface layer. The antiferromagnetic character of the Fe-oxide surface induces an exchange anisotropy in the ferromagnetic Fe core when the system is field cooled. Samples have been heat treated in vacuum at different temperatures. Structural changes of the Fe–O layer have been monitored by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Magnetic properties as coercivity, hysteresis loop shift, and evolution of magnetization with temperature have been analyzed for different oxide crystallization stages. A decrease of the exchange anisotropy strength is reported as the structural disorder of the surface oxide layer is decreased with thermal treatment

    Improving the accuracy of wood moisture content estimation in four European softwoods from Spain

    Get PDF
    Aim of study: To obtain improved models to predict, with an error of less than ± 2.0%, the gravimetric moisture content in four different softwoods commonly present in the Spanish and European markets, based on electrical resistance measurements. This improved moisture content estimation is useful not only for assessing the quality of wood products, especially in the case of laminated products, during the transformation and delivery process, but also for accurately monitoring the evolution of moisture in wood present in bridges and buildings, which is of great importance for its maintenance and service life improvement.Area of study: The study was carried out on samples of Scots, laricio, radiata and  maritime pines of Spanish provenances.Material and methods: On 50x50x20 mm3 solid wood samples (36 per species, 9 per condition), conditioned at 20ºC (±05ºC) and 40±5%, 65±5%, 80±5% or 90±5% Relative Humidity (RH), electrical resistance and oven-dry moisture content was measured. The Samuelsson's model was fitted to data to explain the relationship between the two variables. The accuracy of the model was evaluated by the use of an external sample.Main results: With the proposed mathematical functions the wood moisture content can be estimated with an error of ±0.9% in the four species, confirming the effectiveness of this nondestructive methodology for accurate estimation and monitoring of moisture content.Research highlights: our results allow the improvement of the moisture content estimation technique by resistance-type methodologies.Keywords: Resistance-type moisture meter; species correction.Abbreviations used: MC: Moisture content; RH: relative Humidity; R: electrical resistance; RP: wood electrical resistance measured parallel to the grain; RT: electrical resistance measured perpendicular (transversally) to the grain; GM-MC: gravimetrically measured moisture content

    Thermomagnetic detection of recrystallization in FeCoNbBCu nanocrystalline alloys

    Get PDF
    The recrystallization process in FeCoNbBCu nanocrystallinealloys is evidenced from thermomagnetic results as a significant decrease in magnetization at the second crystallization stage. The lowering in the volume fraction of α-FeCo crystals indicates that some of these crystals contribute to the boride phases formed. Electron microscopy images reveal that the final microstructure consists of large crystals (∼500 nm) of a fcc (FeCo)23B6(FeCo)23B6 phase and small crystals (∼20 nm) of bcc α-FeCo and of some boride phases as such (FeCo)2B

    Emerging right-wing parties: fake news, fake outsiders? Vox and the “Caso Aislado” website in the 2018 Andalusian elections

    El auge actual de nuevos partidos populistas de ultraderecha a nivel global, muchas veces auto posicionados como outsiders o anti-establishment, ha venido acompañado por una preocupación creciente acerca de las estrategias comunicativas que despliegan dichos movimientos, especialmente por su relación con portales de fake news. A raíz de las últimas elecciones autonómicas en Andalucía, con la entrada por primera vez en un parlamento del partido Vox, vuelve a hablarse de la emergencia de una ultraderecha outsider que, ignorada por los medios de comunicación de masas, conquista a su electorado gracias al poder propagador de las redes sociales. ¿Qué función cumplen las webs de fake news en la estrategia de la ultraderecha? ¿se encuentran estas formaciones fuera del espacio de los medios de comunicación de masas? Para responder a estas cuestiones el presente artículo analiza la estrategia comunicativa desplegada por unos de los portales afines a este tipo de partidos durante la campaña electoral andaluza de 2018, con el objetivo de comprobar su nivel de acceso a los medios aplicando los filtros del modelo de propaganda propuesto por Chomsky y Herman. Para ello se realiza un análisis del contenido compartido en redes sociales y un análisis de varias métricas básicas de tráfico a través de herramientas de analítica web. La hipótesis de partida es que la función principal de estos portales no es tanto ejercer como una herramienta para colocar sus temas en la agenda mediática sino reforzar la imagen de outsider de los partidos de ultraderecha.The current rise of new right-wing populist parties at a global level, often self-defined as outsiders or anti-establishment, has received a great amount of attention. Especially, the communicative relations displayed by these movements and their relationship with fake news portals. In the view of what happened in the last elections in Andalusia, with the presence in the parliament of the Vox party, the rise of an outsider right-wing party that, ignored by the mass media, conquers its electorate thanks to the power of social networks is a burning issue. What role do fake news websites play in the strategy of the alt-right? Are these parties outside the agenda of mass media? To answer these questions, this article analyzes the communicative strategy deployed by websites attached to these parties during the Andalusian electoral campaign of 2018, with the objective of establishing their level of access to the media by applying the filters of the propaganda model proposed by Chomsky and Herman. For this purpose, an analysis of shared content in social networks and an analysis of several basic traffic metrics through web analytics tools is carried out. The initial hypothesis is that the main role of these portals is not to be a tool to place their issues on the media agenda but overall to heighten the image of outsiders of the far-right parties

    En aquest estudi es comparen els efectes de l’enfocament Tradicional i Ludotècnic sobre les variables feedback, el temps d’organització, informació inicial, de compromís motor i utilitzat en la tasca en l’aprenentatge de les habilitats atlètiques. Hem comptat amb una mostra de 58 nens de 4t d’Educació Primària, dividits en dos grups experimentals, als quals se’ls aplica un tractament de 18 sessions d’iniciació a l’atletisme dintre de l’horari escolar, basat en l’aprenentatge de les disciplines atlètiques (marxa, salt d’alçada i llançament de pes). Dels resultats obtinguts en el procés d’ensenyament‑aprenentatge, destaca que els subjectes de l’enfocament Ludotècnic dediquen més temps de compromís motor que no pas els de l’enfocament Tradicional, cosa que repercuteix en un increment del temps de pràctica de les activitats físiques i en una disminució del risc de problemes de disciplina; es perfila com un enfocament d’iniciació a l’atletisme molt més en sintonia amb els principis pedagògics i amb les finalitats que persegueix l’Educació Física en l’Educació Primària
