    Lla Unión Europea está viéndose involucrada en una grave crisis política y comercial con uno de sus miembros predilectos, el Reino Unido, debido al Brexit. Veremos la evolución de la Unión Europea y el comercio comunitario, analizaremos de la misma manera los aspectos macroeconómicos del Reino Unido y su comercio, para poder basarnos en términos económicos lo que supone el proceso de salida de la UE, cómo estaba su situación financiera antes y después de estos últimos tres años de incertidumbre.Grado en Comerci

    Günther Anders, técnica y apocalipsis

    El mundo occidental vive, desde mediados de siglo XX, inmerso en una peculiar conciencia apocalíptica. El presente estudio acude a la obra de uno de esos “profetas” de la era atómica, el filósofo y activista Günther Anders. En torno a su obra, ahondaremos en las relaciones entre la técnica moderna, el apocalipsis y la experiencia del tiempo histórico. Se considerará la cuestión de la técnica moderna como elelemento fundamental de buena parte del pensamiento apocalíptico contemporáneo. La bomba atómica nos servirá como elemento clave de reflexión para entender la experiencia que, desde 1945, tiene la sociedad occidental de su horizonte histórico, de la constitución ontológica del “hombre” y del sentido mismo de la temporalidad

    Implementation of a real-time dance ability for mini maggie

    The increasing rise of robotics and the growing interest in some fields like the human-robot interaction has triggered the birth a new generation of social robots that develop and expand their abilities. Much late research has focused on the dance ability, what has caused it to experience a very fast evolution. Nonetheless, real-time dance ability still remains immature in many areas such as online beat tracking and dynamic creation of choreographies. The purpose of this thesis is to teach the robot Mini Maggie how to dance real-time synchronously with the rhythm of music from the microphone. The number of joints of our robot Mini Maggie is low and, therefore, our main objective is not to execute very complex dances since our range of action is small. However, Mini Maggie should react with a low enough delay since we want a real-time system. It should resynchronise as well if the song changes or there is a sudden tempo change in the same song. To achieve that, Mini Maggie has two subsystems: a beat tracking subsystem, which tell us the time instants of detected beats and a dance subsystem, which makes Mini dance at those time instants. In the beat tracking system, first, the input microphone signal is processed in order to extract the onset strength at each time instant, which is directly related to the beat probability at that time instant. Then, the onset strength signal will be delivered to two blocks. The music period estimator block will extract the periodicities of the onset strength signal by computing the 4-cycled autocorrelation, a type of autocorrelation in which we do not only compute the similarity of a signal by a displacement of one single period but also of its first 4 multiples. Finally, the beat tracker takes the onset strength signal and the estimated periods real-time and decides at which time instants there should be a beat. The dance subsystem will then execute different dance steps according to several prestored choreographies thanks to Mini Maggie’s dynamixel module, which is in charge of more low-level management of each joint. With this system we have taught Mini Maggie to dance for a general set of music genres with enough reliability. Reliability of this system generally remains stable among different music styles but if there is a clear lack of minimal stability in rhythm, as it happens in very expressive and subjectively interpreted classical music, our system is not able to track its beats. Mini Maggie’s dancing was adjusted so that it was appealing even though there was a very limited range of possible movements, due to the lack of degrees of freedom.Ingeniería de Sistemas Audiovisuale

    Data processing handover in the multi-access edge computing setting

    The multi-access edge computing (MEC) technology is a key pillar of the 5th generation (5G) telecommunication network. Among other benefits, it will allow for ultra-low latency communications by bringing computations closer to the user equipment (UE). However, when the UE changes its position, the problem of keeping computations close to it arises. In this work I study this problem related to handover, taking the Megasense project as a real life use case. I propose, implement and analyze a solution that aims at solving the aforementioned problem within a prototype system developed by Nokia Bell Labs

    First record of the banjo catfish Bunocephalus doriae Boulenger 1902 (Siluriformes: Aspredinidae) in the Bermejo River basin, Salta, Argentina

    Intense sampling in the upper Bermejo River basin revealed the presence of specimens of the aspredinid genus Bunocephalus. After detailed morphological and morphometric analyses specimens were identified as Bunocephalus doriae. This is the first record of any member of the Aspredinidae in the upper Bermejo River basin.Fil: Aguilera, Gaston. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.
