Erotismo y Celo Inquisitorial. Expedientes de escritos obscenos censurados por la Inquisición en el siglo XVIII y principios del XIX

Dentro del amplio objeto de la censura inquisitorial, este trabajo está enmarcado en la literatura puramente recreativa de la época precontemporánea, estudia la actividad censoria del Santo Oficio a los escritos de tema galante, erótico y "pornográfico", y se concreta en algunos expedientes abiertos a obras muy diversas que fueron denunciadas, calificadas y prohibidas por obscenas, lascivas, escandalosas, indecentes e inductivas ad libidinem, y comprendidas en la regla séptima del índice expurgatorio.Inside of the extensive subject of inquisitorial censorship, this work addresses the literature purely recreational of the pre-contemporaneous era, studies the Santo Oficio activity of censorship for the writings of gallant, erotic and "pornographic" themes, and particularly some files opened to works very diverse which were denounced, qualified and prohibited as they were considered obscene, lascivious, scandalous, indecent and inductive ad libidinem, and included in the seventh rule of the expurgatory Index

Flujo genético y especiación en crustáceos decápodos de agua dulce (Atyaephyra desmarestii complex) y marina (Pagurus forbesii complex) de aguas europeas y africanas

La amplia distribución de Atyaephyra desmarestii s.l. y la naturaleza disjunta de sus poblaciones hace que se trate de un complejo de especies crípticas. El estudio de los genes mitocondriales 16S y COI apoyan la existencia de tres clados de haplotipos. Uno con la mayoría de las poblaciones de Europa y norte de África (A. desmarestii desmarestii); otro con las poblaciones griegas, que tentativamente deben ser asociadas con A. stankoi, y un tercero de Irak, que podría corresponderse con A. mesopotamica o A. orientalis. De los datos moleculares también se deduce que A. rosiana de Portugal es sinónimo de A. desmarestii. En un segundo estudio, centrado en Grecia se han identificado morfológica y molecularmente cuatro especies (A. stankoi, A. thyamisensis, A. strymonensis y A. desmarestii). A. acheronensis de Christodoulou et al. (2012) debe considerarse sinonimia de A. desmarestii. Se aportan datos morfológicos para todas las especies. Asimismo, se compara el patrón de distribución de los cromatóforos de las larvas Zoea II de A. thyamisensis y A. desmarestii, mostrando que es un carácter útil para diferenciar especies crípticas (adultos). La distribución de las especies griegas muestra 3 áreas, que están relacionadas con la paleogeografía de los Balcanes. La captura de ejemplares de Dugastella marocana en Marrakech amplía su área de distribución. La existencia de larvas Zoea II en su cámara incubadora demuestra un cuidado parental extendido, muy raro, que puede considerarse como característico del género. Por otro lado, el estudio morfológico de un gran número de ejemplares de Pagurus forbesii complex, del mar de Alborán, ha permitido: (1) ratificar que Pagurus sculptimanus es sinónimo de P. forbesii; (2) definir caracteres morfológico útiles en taxonomía y (3) la creación de una nueva especie "P. pseudosculptimanus". Los datos moleculares ratifican la separación de ambas especies y muestran que las agrupaciones establecidas para el género Pagurus deben ser revisadas. Finalmente se aporta una revisión de las especies del género Pagurus del Atlántico Oriental y Mediterráneo

Real Time Control For Airborne Wind Energy Simulators

This thesis develop a real time simulator for an acrobatic kite, called LAKSA Simulink. The simulator is base on a Matlab code, called LAKSA, which describe the kite behavior using Lagrangian equation. This code is made of functions with different tasks, from describing the kite behavior to plot it. This thesis implement Matlab code into Simulink and add some functionalities: user input, allowing the user to control the kite; and real time simulation. This thesis aim to create a simulator that work as efficient as possible, that is why during the development of this thesis, the improvement of the performance of the simulator and reduction of the computational time have been taken into consideration. During this thesis, different data regarding the kite behavior and the simulation performance are obtained and they are analyzed in order to study the effect of the user input in the kite behavior, and the influence of each task of the simulation in the simulator performance.Ingeniería Aeroespacia

Sampling-related frames in finite U-invariant subspaces

Recently, a sampling theory for infinite dimensional U-invariant subspaces of a separable Hilbert space H where U denotes a unitary operator on H has been obtained. Thus, uniform average sampling for shift-invariant subspaces of L-2(R) becomes a particular example. As in the general case it is possible to have finite dimensional U-invariant subspaces, the main aim of this paper is to derive a sampling theory for finite dimensional U-invariant subspaces of a separable Hilbert space H. Since the used samples are frame coefficients in a suitable euclidean space C-N, the problem reduces to obtain dual frames with a U-invariance property

Does student proactivity guarantee positive academic results?

This paper analyzes the impact of students’ proactivity on academic performance based on a sample from students enrolled in an introductory course of Political Economy at the University of Seville (Spain) in three consecutive courses (2014–2015, 2015–2016 and 2016–2017). Proactivity is measured by several indicators, such as class attendance, case-study oral presentation and its delivery in a foreign language, all of them being non-mandatory activities for students who have participated in the experiment. Specifically, this study aims to assess the impact of a student’s proactivity on two academic outcomes: (i) to pass or fail the exam; and (ii) the score obtained. Impact assessment has been performed using a probit and ordered multinomial logit models. The results show that a student’s proactivity measured by class attendance and case-study presentation significantly increases the probability of passing the exam, while the impact of using a foreign language seems to be non-significant. In relation to the score obtained, the proactivity measured through the case presentation raises the probability of obtaining a higher mark more than regular class attendance.Junta de Andalucía proyecto SEJ-132Universidad Autónoma de ChileUniversidad de Sevilla.

MIRACLE-FI at ImageCLEFphoto 2008: Experiences in merging text-based and content-based retrievals

This paper describes the participation of the MIRACLE consortium at the ImageCLEF Photographic Retrieval task of ImageCLEF 2008. In this is new participation of the group, our first purpose is to evaluate our own tools for text-based retrieval and for content-based retrieval using different similarity metrics and the aggregation OWA operator to fuse the three topic images. From the MIRACLE last year experience, we implemented a new merging module combining the text-based and the content-based information in three different ways: FILTER-N, ENRICH and TEXT-FILTER. The former approaches try to improve the text-based baseline results using the content-based results lists. The last one was used to select the relevant images to the content-based module. No clustering strategies were analyzed. Finally, 41 runs were submitted: 1 for the text-based baseline, 10 content-based runs, and 30 mixed experiments merging text and content-based results. Results in general can be considered nearly acceptable comparing with the best results of other groups. Obtained results from textbased retrieval are better than content-based. Merging both textual and visual retrieval we improve the text-based baseline when applying the ENRICH merging algorithm although visual results are lower than textual ones. From these results we were going to try to improve merged results by clustering methods applied to this image collection

A Highly Available Cluster of Web Servers with Increased Storage Capacity

Ponencias de las Decimoséptimas Jornadas de Paralelismo de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha celebradas el 18,19 y 20 de septiembre de 2006 en AlbaceteWeb servers scalability has been traditionally solved by improving software elements or increasing hardware resources of the server machine. Another approach has been the usage of distributed architectures. In such architectures, usually, file al- location strategy has been either full replication or full distribution. In previous works we have showed that partial replication offers a good balance between storage capacity and reliability. It offers much higher storage capacity while reliability may be kept at an equivalent level of that from fully replicated solutions. In this paper we present the architectural details of Web cluster solutions adapted to partial replication. We also show that partial replication does not imply a penalty in performance over classical fully replicated architectures. For evaluation purposes we have used a simulation model under the OMNeT++ framework and we use mean service time as a performance comparison metric.Publicad
