Experiencia docente a través de la interación con administraciones locales

[ES] La incorporación de la dimensión urbana en la política de la UE, a través de la Agenda Urbana, poniendo el foco sobre la ciudad en materia de sostenibilidad, reducción de emisiones de CO2, mejora de las condiciones mediambientales y la cohesión social, fundamenta la aparición, el contenido y desarrollo de la asignatura denominada Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, cursada en 4º del Grado de Ingeniería de Obras Públicas, y que viene desarrollando, desde hace cinco años, trabajos aplicados sobre distintas ciudades de la Comunitat Valenciana, denominados Auditoría Ambiental. Para ello se han utilizado metododologías activas de enseñanza aprendizaje que restan protagonismo al rol docente para trasladarlo al alumnado, que debe aplicar sus conocimientos previos en la elaboración de la auditoría, en conexión organizativa con el profesorado como tutor. Este ejercicio práctico ha sido posible realizarlo con la colaboración e implicación directa de diversas administraciones locales que han contribuido facilitando información y han estado dispuestas a recibir los resultados obtenidos por el alumnado durante una exposición pública, seguida de un debate entre técnicos y políticos de dicha administración. Con esta experiencia, se pretende que el alumnado adquiera competencias relacionadas con la comprensión y uso del lenguaje propio de la ingeniería, con el aprendizaje autónomo de conocimientos y técnicas para la ingeniería civil, así como, desarrollar el pensamiento y análisis crítico de los procesos propios de la ingeniería, a la vez que desarrollan un ejercicio académico lo más próximo al futuro ejercicio profesional. Los procesos llevados a cabo y los resultados obtenidos a través de esta experiencia docente son presentados en esta comunicación.Palencia Jiménez, JS.; Gielen, E.; Sosa Espinosa, A.; Altur Grau, VJ.

CIBERER: Spanish national network for research on rare diseases: A highly productive collaborative initiative

13 páginas,1 figura, 3 tablas, 1 apéndice. Se extraen los autores pertenecientes a The CIBERER network que trabajan en Centros del CSIC del Appendix ACIBER (Center for Biomedical Network Research; Centro de Investigación Biomédica En Red) is a public national consortium created in 2006 under the umbrella of the Spanish National Institute of Health Carlos III (ISCIII). This innovative research structure comprises 11 different specific areas dedicated to the main public health priorities in the National Health System. CIBERER, the thematic area of CIBER focused on rare diseases (RDs) currently consists of 75 research groups belonging to universities, research centers, and hospitals of the entire country. CIBERER's mission is to be a center prioritizing and favoring collaboration and cooperation between biomedical and clinical research groups, with special emphasis on the aspects of genetic, molecular, biochemical, and cellular research of RDs. This research is the basis for providing new tools for the diagnosis and therapy of low-prevalence diseases, in line with the International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC) objectives, thus favoring translational research between the scientific environment of the laboratory and the clinical setting of health centers. In this article, we intend to review CIBERER's 15-year journey and summarize the main results obtained in terms of internationalization, scientific production, contributions toward the discovery of new therapies and novel genes associated to diseases, cooperation with patients' associations and many other topics related to RD research.This study has been funded by Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) and Spanish Ministry of Science and InnovationPeer reviewe

Resilient Urban Morphology to the flood risk in the final stretch of the Girona River (Alicante province)

[EN] The Litoral-Cota 100 zone represents approximately 25% of the total area of the Region of Valencia and concentrates more than 70% of the urban area. One of the consequences of this situation has been the high urban developments produced in the last 50 years. The Comunitat Valenciana has a river flood hazard mapping, according to which, in the Litoral area, more than 80% of the flood hazard is concentrated. As a result of the experienced urban development and the extent of flooding, there is a significant number of people and property exposed to flood hazards. In order to analyze in detail the urban morphology on the coast and its interaction with floods, research has focused on the specific area of the final section of the Girona River, in the province of Alicante. Specifically, in the municipalities of Els Poblets, El Verger, Denia and Beniarbeig, located in the surroundings of the Girona River, very different urban morphologies have been generated that are not adapted to the existing flood hazard. The analysis carried out allows us to conclude that, despite the significant expansion of urban land, existing urban morphology offers ample possibilities to reduce the risk of flooding. It is proposed the integration of overflows in the built city, avoiding the consolidation of non-built land and designing particular measures on affected buildings. These measures of adaptation to the problem will generate a resilient urban morphology.Palencia Jiménez, JS.; Gielen, E.; Pérez Alonso, Y. (2018).

Strategies and performance of the CMS silicon tracker alignment during LHC Run 2

The strategies for and the performance of the CMS silicon tracking system alignment during the 2015–2018 data-taking period of the LHC are described. The alignment procedures during and after data taking are explained. Alignment scenarios are also derived for use in the simulation of the detector response. Systematic effects, related to intrinsic symmetries of the alignment task or to external constraints, are discussed and illustrated for different scenarios

Precision measurement of the structure of the CMS inner tracking system using nuclear interactions

The structure of the CMS inner tracking system has been studied using nuclear interactions of hadrons striking its material. Data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV recorded in 2015 at the LHC are used to reconstruct millions of secondary vertices from these nuclear interactions. Precise positions of the beam pipe and the inner tracking system elements, such as the pixel detector support tube, and barrel pixel detector inner shield and support rails, are determined using these vertices. These measurements are important for detector simulations, detector upgrades, and to identify any changes in the positions of inactive elements
