Buenas prácticas de transferencia del conocimiento en la Universidad de Córdoba

La iniciativa persigue la formación completa de los jóvenes jugadores de fútbol mediante el estudio y el desarrollo de todas sus competencias. El proyecto, que se desarrolla en el Córdoba Club de Fútbol desde noviembre de 2009, cuenta con un amplio apoyo social. Una de sus grandes ventajas es que su aplicación no es exclusiva al ámbito futbolístico, sino que se puede llevar a cabo en cualquier otro club deportivo

Tratamiento farmacológico de los trastornos de la personalidad: actualización

El tratamiento farmacológico de los trastornos de la personalidad, en combinación con el tratamiento psicoterapéutico, es cada vez más importante. En este trabajo se exponen las recomendaciones terapéuticas farmacológicas normalizadas vigentes y se analiza en particular la más reciente información científica de calidad acerca del uso de los antipsicóticos atípicos y los nuevos anticonvulsivantes. Se describen los únicos diez ensayos clínicos aleatoriazados y controlados hallados en el Medline y que se refieren exclusivamente a Olanzapina (cuatro ensayos), Risperidona (uno), Aripiprazol (uno), Topiramato (tres) y Lamotrigina (uno). Estos ensayos son todos de grado de calidad II, han sido publicados en el periodo 2001-2007, y se han realizado tan solo en el trastorno límite de la personalidad (nueve de ellos) y en el trastorno esquizotípico de la personalidad (un ensayo). Todos los ensayos proporcionan cierto grado de evidencia científica favorable para recomendar la adopción del tratamiento investigado en determinados agrupamientos de síntomas

Density-dependent incompressible fluids with non-Newtonian viscosity

We study the system of PDEs describing unsteady flows of incompressible fluids with variable density and non-constant viscosity. Indeed, one considers a stress tensor being a nonlinear function of the symmetric velocity gradient, verifying the properties of pcoercivity and (p − 1)-growth, for a given parameter p > 1. The existence of Dirichlet weak solutions was obtained in [2], in the cases p > 12/5 if d = 3 or p > 2 if d = 2, d being the dimension of the domain. In this paper, with help of some new estimates (which lead to point-wise convergence of the velocity gradient), we obtain the existence of space-periodic weak solutions for all p > 2. In addition, we obtain regularity properties of weak solutions whenever p > 20/9 (if d = 3) or p > 2 (if d = 2). Further, some extensions of these results to more general stress tensors or to Dirichlet boundary conditions (with a Newtonian tensor large enough) are obtained.Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnologí

Use of Alternative Wood for the Ageing of Brandy de Jerez

The use of alternative types of wood has arisen for the aging of the Brandy de Jerez, on a pilot plant level. In particular, besides the use of American oak, two more types of oak have been studied, French oak and Spanish oak, allowed by the Technical File for the ID Brandy de Jerez, and chestnut, which, though it is not officially allowed, is a type of wood which had been traditionally used in the area for the aging of wines and distillates. All of them have been studied with different toasting levels: Intense toasting and medium toasting. The study of the total phenolic composition (TPI), chromatic characteristics, organic acids, and sensory analysis have proven that chestnut leads to distillates with a higher amount of phenolic compounds and coloring intensity than oak. This behavior is the opposite as regards the toasting of the wood. Among the different types of oak, Spanish oak produces aged distillates with a higher phenolic composition and a higher color intensity. Regarding tasting, the best-assessed samples were those aged with chestnut, French oak, and American oak, and the assessors preferred those who had used a medium toasting level to those with an intense leve

We present the application of the methodology to the students of the Diploma in Design and Product Development Engineering, and especially to the academic essays, they develop during their careers, providing some examples of these techniques and one case stud

Approximation of Smectic-A liquid crystals

In this paper, we present energy-stable numerical schemes for a Smectic-A liquid crystal model. This model involve the hydrodynamic velocity-pressure macroscopic variables (u, p) and the microscopic order parameter of Smectic-A liquid crystals, where its molecules have a uniaxial orientational order and a positional order by layers of normal and unitary vector n. We start from the formulation given in [E’97] by using the so-called layer variable φ such that n = ∇φ and the level sets of φ describe the layer structure of the Smectic-A liquid crystal. Then, a strongly non-linear parabolic system is derived coupling velocity and pressure unknowns of the Navier-Stokes equations (u, p) with a fourth order parabolic equation for φ. We will give a reformulation as a mixed second order problem which let us to define some new energy-stable numerical schemes, by using second order finite differences in time and C 0 - finite elements in space. Finally, numerical simulations are presented for 2D-domains, showing the evolution of the system until it reachs an equilibrium configuration. Up to our knowledge, there is not any previous numerical analysis for this type of models.Ministerio de Economía y CompetitividadMinistry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republi
