Detection and Combining Techniques for Asynchronous Random Access with Time Diversity
Asynchronous random access (RA) protocols are particularly attractive for
their simplicity and avoidance of tight synchronization requirements. Recent
enhancements have shown that the use of successive interference cancellation
(SIC) can largely boost the performance of these schemes. A further step
forward in the performance can be attained when diversity combining techniques
are applied. In order to enable combining, the detection and association of the
packets to their transmitters has to be done prior to decoding. We present a
solution to this problem, that articulates into two phases. Non-coherent
soft-correlation as well as interference-aware soft-correlation are used for
packet detection. We evaluate the detection capabilities of both solutions via
numerical simulations. We also evaluate numerically the spectral efficiency
achieved by the proposed approach, highlighting its benefits.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures. Work has been submitted to the 11th International

The Impact of Social Curiosity on Information Spreading on Networks
Most information spreading models consider that all individuals are identical
psychologically. They ignore, for instance, the curiosity level of people,
which may indicate that they can be influenced to seek for information given
their interest. For example, the game Pok\'emon GO spread rapidly because of
the aroused curiosity among users. This paper proposes an information
propagation model considering the curiosity level of each individual, which is
a dynamical parameter that evolves over time. We evaluate the efficiency of our
model in contrast to traditional information propagation models, like SIR or
IC, and perform analysis on different types of artificial and real-world
networks, like Google+, Facebook, and the United States roads map. We present a
mean-field approach that reproduces with a good accuracy the evolution of
macroscopic quantities, such as the density of stiflers, for the system's
behavior with the curiosity. We also obtain an analytical solution of the
mean-field equations that allows to predicts a transition from a phase where
the information remains confined to a small number of users to a phase where it
spreads over a large fraction of the population. The results indicate that the
curiosity increases the information spreading in all networks as compared with
the spreading without curiosity, and that this increase is larger in spatial
networks than in social networks. When the curiosity is taken into account, the
maximum number of informed individuals is reached close to the transition
point. Since curious people are more open to a new product, concepts, and
ideas, this is an important factor to be considered in propagation modeling.
Our results contribute to the understanding of the interplay between diffusion
process and dynamical heterogeneous transmission in social networks.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure

Miedo y habilidades sociales en el contexto pluricultural de Ceuta
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo fundamental conocer los tipos, niveles y relaciones del Miedo y las Habilidades
Sociales del alumnado de la ciudad de Ceuta. Se contó con 1186 participantes, de 9 centros educativos distintos, que
reflejan la pluriculturalidad de la ciudad; de los cuales, el 57’8% son niñas y el 42’2% varones, y el 58’9% de cultura/
religión musulmana y el 41’1% cristianos. Como instrumentos de evaluación se emplearon la adaptación de Ascensio,
Vila, Robles-García, Páez, Fresán y Vázquez (2012) del Inventario de Miedo para Niños (FSSC-II) y la de Matesanz
(2006) del Inventario de Temores (FSS), junto con la EHS (Escala de Habilidades Sociales, Gismero, 2000). Los resultados
reflejan niveles medios de Miedo y medio-altos en las Habilidades Sociales, influyendo en ellas las sociodemográficas de
edad, sexo, cultura/religión y estatus socio-económico-cultural. Existe relación entre Miedo y las Habilidades Sociales,
aumentado estas últimas a medida que descienden las puntuaciones en Miedo.The main objective of this paper is to reflect the types and levels of Fear and Social Skills, and the influence over each
other, of students in the city of Ceuta. We focused on 1186 participants from 9 different educational institutions; 42.2%
are boys and 57.8% girls; 58.9% are Muslims and 41.1% Christians. The techniques used in this survey are Fear Survey
Schedule for Children (FSSC-II), adapted for its use in the Spanish language by Ascensio, et al. (2012),the Matesanz,
(2006) adaptation of Fear Survey Schedule, as well as the EHS (Gismero, 2000).The results show medium levels on
Fear and medium-high levels on Social Skills, and they are influenced by the sociodemographic factors of age, gender,
customs/religion and socioeconomic and cultural. We have also found a relationship between Fear and Social Skills
Gender differences over initial a validation of a test under construction to asses Emotional Intelligence at a sample of students from Secondary Education
El objetivo fue elaborar un cuestionario para evaluar la Inteligencia Emocional
(IE) destinado a una muestra juvenil. Se contó con una muestra de 557
participantes. Como instrumentos de evaluación se emplearon un test
elaborado para la evaluación de la IE, junto con una adaptación propia de la
EHS (Gismero, 2000). Los resultados obtenidos reflejan niveles de fiabilidad
aceptables. Las dimensiones esperadas fueron diferentes para ambos géneros,
apareciendo intercorrelaciones positivas entre los totales y las dimensiones que
lo conforman. Este cuestionario se muestra como instrumento adecuado para
evaluar estas capacidades en la población juvenil, siendo más indicado aplicar
el análisis a ambos géneros por separadoThe objective of this paper is to develop a questionnaire to assess Emotional
Intelligence (EI), aimed at a sample of students from Secondary Education..We
focused on 557.The techniques used in this survey are a test developed to
assess EI in teenagers and a similar adaptation of EHS (Gismero, 2000). The
results show high levels of reliability for both genders. The dimensions are
different (4 girls and 5 boys) for both genders. There are positive correlations
between totals and the dimensions that make them. We found significant
correlations between the two scales. Therefore this questionnaire is an
appropriate tool to evaluate these capabilities after making some modifications
in future works. It is more appropriate to apply the analysis separatel

Rayman: Interoperability use of Meteorological Observation
The observation of atmospheric phenomena enables generating of knowledge about the weather and meteors occurrence in a region. When this information is georeferenced it becomes useful for a great number of professional and public activities in the field of e.g. building, infrastructures, aeronautics, biota, tourism, agriculture and energy. At the present time access to that information is limited. Few meteorological agencies apply geo-Standards, hindering the development of GIS tools for monitoring, threshold alerts and decision support helping. This work describes how public agencies publish meteorological data and the solution developed at the Spanish Electrical Network (REE) to store the information provided by the Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET). The implemented solution enables the access to the weather observations collected by the meteorological agency and the rays captured by the detection network in a interoperable way and the exploitation, by as well a desktop GIS capable of connecting with Oracle-Spatial database as through the interfaces of the OGC standardized services (WMS, WFS and SOS)
