Capturing improved TLS data of Maulbronn Monastery andintegration of the mesh into the existing UNITY visualization

[EN] This Master Thesis consists in improving the existing 3D visualization of the Maulbronn monastery, because there are areas with excess brightness that is produced by the windows. To achieve this purpose, the old scans that were part of an existing FARO SCENE project have been analysed. After analysing the scans, those areas that had to be repeated to improve texture were detected. Additionally, tests have been done to find out which parameters are best suited to improve the quality of the HDR images. Afterwards, different scans have been taken with the best parameters. This data has been processed and recorded with the data from the previous scans, resulting in the creation of a mesh for each zone, along with the position file and HDR images. Geomagic Qualify has also been used to improve mesh geometry. Then the images have been edited in Photoshop to represent a better texture for the mesh, as well as masks have been created not to apply those areas of the images that do not have good quality. In order to reproject the images on the mesh, the Agisoft Metashape program has been used, resulting in a tiled model. Once the tiled model is obtained, only the last level has been used to incorporate the new meshes into UNITY. Finally, the texture and some parts related to walkability have been improved through the use of several scripts. This project is divided into three parts. The first is the theoretical part, where the basic concepts of 3D visualization and data processing are explained. The different types of software that have been used are also explained. The second part is the explanation of the practical part, in what it consists and in what steps it is divided. Finally, in the last part of the document are the results, conclusions, future lines of the project and references.[ES] Este proyecto consiste en mejorar la visualización 3D existente del monasterio de Maulbronn, porque hay áreas con exceso de brillo que producen las ventanas. Para lograr este propósito, se analizaron los antiguos escaneos que formaban parte de un proyecto FARO SCENE existente. Después de analizar los escaneos, se detectaron aquellas áreas que tuvieron que repetirse para mejorar la textura. Además, se han realizado pruebas para descubrir qué parámetros son los más adecuados para mejorar la calidad de las imágenes HDR. Posteriormente, se han realizado diferentes escaneos con los mejores parámetros. Estos datos se procesaron y registraron con los datos de los escaneos anteriores, lo que resultó en la creación de una malla para cada zona, junto con el archivo de posición y las imágenes HDR. Geomagic Qualify también se ha utilizado para mejorar la geometría de la malla. Luego, las imágenes se han editado en Photoshop para representar una mejor textura para la malla, así como se han creado máscaras para no aplicar aquellas áreas de las imágenes que no tienen buena calidad. Para reproyectar las imágenes en la malla, se ha utilizado el programa Agisoft Metashape, lo que da como resultado un modelo en mosaico. Una vez que se obtiene el modelo de mosaico, solo se ha utilizado el último nivel para incorporar las nuevas mallas a UNITY. Finalmente, la textura y algunas partes relacionadas con la capacidad de caminar se han mejorado mediante el uso de varios scripts. Este proyecto se divide en tres partes. La primera es la parte teórica, donde se explican los conceptos básicos de visualización 3D y procesamiento de datos. También se explican los diferentes tipos de software que se han utilizado. La segunda parte es la explicación de la parte práctica, en qué consiste y en qué pasos se divide. Finalmente, en la última parte del documento están los resultados, conclusiones, líneas futuras del proyecto y referencias.Arcón Navarro, R. (2020).

Estimation of dietary intake and content of lead and cadmium in infant cereals marketed in Spain

Lead and cadmium have become highly toxic metallic elements. There is an obvious 5 toxicological impact of these elements on infants since their intestinal absorption is 6 significantly higher than in adults, thus it is desirable to quantify lead and cadmium levels in 7 commonly consumed infant foods. Zeeman background correction, transversely heated 8 graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry, was used to determine both the lead and 9 cadmium content of 91 Spanish infant cereals. Cereals were assessed in terms of different 10 types, cereal predominant in formulation and whether it was obtained organically or 11 conventionally. Preliminary analysis revealed a noticeably higher content of lead and 12 cadmium (median, Q1-Q3) in organic cereals (n = 17, Pb: 26.07; 21.36-51.63; Cd: 18.52; 16.56-28.50 μg kg-1 13 ) in relation to conventional ones (n =74, Pb: 10.78; 6.43-19.33; Cd: 7.12; 4.40-11.77 μg kg-1 14 ). Three formulations exceeded European lead maximum levels. Added 15 ingredients (milk, cocoa, fruit and honey) to the cereal base provide lead enrichment. For 16 cadmium, this pattern was observed by cereal based on cocoa, but also the raw materials 17 contributed with a dilution phenomenon, decreasing the final cadmium concentration in infant 18 cereal. Apart from several organically produced cereals, lead content showed a narrow 19 variation, where gluten-free cereals provide lower cadmium content than formulations 20 containing gluten. Dietary intakes of both elements were assessed in comparison with the 21 reference intake values proposed by the EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain. 22 Organic infant cereals based on honey and cocoa supplied the highest risk intakes of lead and 23 cadmium, respectively. In accordance with the actual state of knowledge on lead and 24 cadmium toxicity and attending to the upper limits calculated from risk intake values set by 25 EFSA, it seems prudent to call for a revision of both heavy metals content regulated by EC to set a maximum guideline values for infant cereal at 55 and 45 μg kg-1 26 , respectively

Survey of total mercury and arsenic content in infant cereals marketed in Spain and estimated dietary intake.

Due to the fact that infants and children are especially sensitive to mercury and arsenic 7 exposure, predominantly through diet, a strict control of the most widely consumed 8 infant foods, especially infant cereals, is of paramount importance. Levels of both total 9 mercury and arsenic in 91 different infant cereals from ten different manufacturers in 10 Spain were determined by flow injection adapted to cold vapor and hydride generation 11 atomic absorption spectrometry, respectively. Cereals were assessed in terms of the 12 different types, the predominating cereal in the formulation, the added ingredients, and 13 whether the cereal was organically or conventionally obtained. In general, the content of 14 toxic elements (median (Q1;Q3)) found in infant cereals based on conventionally obtained raw materials (n=74, Hg: 2.11 (0.42;4.58), As: 21.0 (9.4;50.9) μg·Kg-1 15 ) was 16 lower than in cereals produced by organic methods (n= 17, Hg: 5.48 (4.54;7.64), As: 96.3 (87.5;152.3) μg·Kg-1 17 ). Mercury content in infant cereals shows the higher values in 18 those formulations with ingredients susceptible to particulate contamination such as 19 gluten-free or cacao-based cereals. The highest arsenic content appears in the rice-based 20 cereals. The mercury and the inorganic arsenic dietary intakes for infants fed on the 21 infant cereals studied were assessed, taking into account the different stages of growth. 22 Organic infant cereals based on cocoa showed the highest risk intakes of mercury, very 23 close to exceeding the intake reference. Just the opposite, 95% of the organically 24 produced infant cereals and 70% of the conventional gluten-free infant cereals showed 25 an inadmissible risk of arsenic intake. Thus, it seems prudent to call for continued 26 efforts in standardizing routine quality control and in reducing arsenic levels in infant 27 cereals; in addition it is essential that relevant legislation be established and regulated 28 by EC regarding these two toxic elements

Surveillance of aflatoxin content in dairy cow feedstuff from Navarra (Spain)

Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 and G2) are produced by the fungi Aspergillus (A. flavus and A. parasiticus) in substrates used in cattle feed manufacturing. Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a major metabolite of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) which may be present in milk from animals that consume contaminated feed. Levels of aflatoxins in 78 dairy cow feedstuff samples from 40 farms located in Navarra were determined by HPLC-FLD (High Performance Liquid Chromatography with fluorescence detection) and post-column derivatization. The influence of geographical location, season and type of feeding system on aflatoxin content was studied. The climatic profile of AFB1 pointed to spring as the season with the highest aflatoxin level (0.086 μg/kg), followed by winter and summer (0.075 and 0.030 μg/kg, respectively), and to a lesser degree, autumn (0.017 μg/kg). Moreover, wet and dry TMR (Total Mixed Ration) feeding systems (i.e. AFB1: 0.076 and 0.068 μg/kg; Aflatoxin G1 (AFG1): 0.050 and 0.011 μg/kg, respectively) showed a greater content of the analyzed aflatoxins in comparison with compound feed (i.e. AFB1: 0.039 μg/kg; AFG1: 0.007 μg/kg). The fact that the majority of the samples collected were based on compound feed shows that this type was preferred by most dairy farmers. The undetectable levels of aflatoxins in the organic homemade compound feedstuff are also worth mentioning. While none of the feedstuff samples contained amounts over those permitted under European legislation (5 μg/kg), the theoretical extrapolation of the carryover rate suggested in previously published experiments of AFB1 to AFM1 in secreted cow's milk predicts that only one of the feed samples studied had a positive aflatoxin level (53.4 ng/kg) higher than the legal limit for raw cow's milk

Music as Soft Power: The Electoral Use of Spotify

The changes brought by new technologies and the ensuing rapid development of the communication field have resulted in an increasing number of studies on politicians’ use of the internet and social media. However, while election campaigns have been the predominant research area in political communication scholarship, music has not yet been taken as an object of study alongside spectacularisation and politainment. Aside from some preliminary studies, systematic research on music in politics is scarce. The literature holds that music is a universal language. Music in politics can therefore be deemed to be an identification tool that can help politicians connect with voters and bring together positions between the different actors of international relations. This is an exploratory study about the use of music in political campaigning. It is focused on the role played by the Spotify playlists created by the main political parties in recent election campaigns in Spain. The initial hypothesis is that some of the candidates strategically selected songs to be shared with their followers. A quantitative content analysis (N = 400) of some Spotify playlists showed that there were significant differences in the selection of songs among the different political parties. This research contributes to the understanding of how Spotify has been used for electoral campaigning, as well as shedding some light on the current communication literature on music and politics

Thiourea-catalyzed addition of indoles to aliphatic β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters

Communication.A thiourea-catalyzed addition reaction with indoles to aliphatic β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters has been developed. The easily accessible thiourea aminoindanol derivative makes this approach an interesting alternative for the use of these aliphatic substrates, very scarcely employed in previously reported procedures, highlighting the complementarity of the strategy presented here. The final adducts, which are valuable intermediates for synthesizing the corresponding α-amino acid or α-hydroxy acid derivatives, are obtained in good yields and enantiomeric excess under mild reaction conditions.We thank the Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICINN.

Estudio metodológico de señalética y de rutas de evacuación en zonas españolas de riesgo de tsunami mediante técnicas geomáticas

[ES] Los tsunamis son un fenómeno natural impredecible que se produce cada ciertos años y que pueden generar un gran impacto en las costas afectadas, dejando a su paso numerosos daños materiales, económicos, y sociales. Aunque se tiene conocimiento de este fenómeno natural desde hace mucho tiempo, en la última década ha quedado demostrado el poder devastador que tiene. En algunos casos los planes de prevención, mitigación, y preparación de tsunamis han ayudado a salvar innumerables vidas humanas. Es por ello que en el presente documento se pretende establecer unas rutas de evacuación, junto con una señalética determinada para poder paliar el efecto que podría tener un tsunami en el caso de que azotara las costas españolas.
