Notas acerca de la epigrafía granadina: Ordo Accitanorum Veterum y Colonia Iulia Gemella Acci

It is analyzed in this work a new document epigraphic appeared in the Farm of Periate (Piñar, Granada ) in the one that mentions you for the first time in the Iberian Península the Ordo Accitanorum Veterum and an individual, L. Aemilius Propinquus, to who is denominated accitanus veteris. The Hispanic municipalities are studied with the nickname Vetus: Astigi, Tucci and Acci, reaching the conclusion that these, after the foundation of their respective colonies, continued existing as independent municipalities, although they had to give part of their territory and, in occasions, to pay a compensation to Rome . The appearance of this document in Periate, where Acci Vetus is located, it is an evident test of the continuity of the municipality during the High Empire.Se analiza en este trabajo un nuevo documento epigráfico aparecido en el Cortijo de Periate (Pinar, Granada) en el que se menciona por primera vez en la Península Ibérica el Ordo Accitanorum Veterum y un individuo, L.

Technical Note TN 2.2 Fuel load sampling of a Cupressus sempervirens hedge

In this document, data from a destructive sampling of a Cupressus sempervirens hedgerow are shown, as well as the followed methodology. Measures of sizes and weights have been taken. With these data, moisture content, fuel load and bulk density have been calculated. Different fuel classes (state and diameter) have been taken into account.Postprint (updated version

Optical pumping of charged excitons in unintentionally doped InAs quantum dots

As an alternative to commonly used electrical methods, we have investigated the optical pumping of charged exciton complexes addressing impurity related transitions with photons of the appropriate energy. Under these conditions, we demonstrate that the pumping fidelity can be very high while still maintaining a switching behavior between the different excitonic species. This mechanism has been investigated for single quantum dots of different size present in the same sample and compared with the direct injection of spectator electrons from nearby donors.Comment: 4 pages and 3 figures submitted to AP

The EHEA and the Technical Competence: The New Degrees in Translation

El presente trabajo toma como punto de partida la investigación que se describe en Muñoz Ramos (2012). En él haremos una breve síntesis del origen y evolución del EEES hasta llegar a nuestros días y su repercusión en los estudios de Traducción. Daremos cuenta de la imbricación existente entre los principios constitutivos del Proceso de Bolonia y las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC), que se posicionan como las compañeras idóneas para la consecución de los objetivos de la Declaración de Bolonia. Finalmente, podremos comprobar cómo estos dos puntos convergen en los nuevos grados en Traducción españoles, que se ajustan al EEES y encuentran en las materias de tecnologías de la traducción la piedra angular de su razón de ser.English version of abstract: The present paper takes Muñoz Ramos (2012) as its starting point. In first place, we will provide a brief summary of the EHEA since its beginning until nowadays, including its evolution and consequences within Translation Studies. We will show the connection between the principles of the Bologna Process and the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which are the perfect partner for the achievement of the Bologna Declaration targets. Finally, we will be able to observe the way in which these two points meet in the new Spanish degrees in Translation, according to the EHEA, which have found in translation technologies their cornerstone

Technical Note TN 2.4. Fuel sampling, tree ignition and burning tests in ADAI facilities

In this document, the followed methodology to characterize several natural fuels (trees of Cupressus arizonica, Cupressocyparis leylandii, Prunus laurocerasus and Thuja occidentalis) is presented. Also, the ignition method and the equipment used to monitor the burning of these fuels in two different configurations are described. These activities were performed in ADAI facilities (Lousa, Portugal).Preprin

Stochastic theory of synchronization transitions in extended systems

We propose a general Langevin equation describing the universal properties of synchronization transitions in extended systems. By means of theoretical arguments and numerical simulations we show that the proposed equation exhibits, depending on parameter values: (i) a continuous transition in the bounded Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class, with a zero largest Lyapunov exponent at the critical point; (ii) a continuous transition in the directed percolation class, with a negative Lyapunov exponent, or (iii) a discontinuous transition (that is argued to be possibly just a transient effect). Cases (ii) and (iii) exhibit coexistence of synchronized and unsynchronized phases in a broad (fuzzy) region. This reproduces almost all of the reported features of synchronization transitions, providing a unified theoretical framework for the analysis of synchronization transitions in extended systems.Postprint (published version

The entropic origin of disassortativity in complex networks

Why are most empirical networks, with the prominent exception of social ones, generically degree-degree anticorrelated, i.e. disassortative? With a view to answering this long-standing question, we define a general class of degree-degree correlated networks and obtain the associated Shannon entropy as a function of parameters. It turns out that the maximum entropy does not typically correspond to uncorrelated networks, but to either assortative (correlated) or disassortative (anticorrelated) ones. More specifically, for highly heterogeneous (scale-free) networks, the maximum entropy principle usually leads to disassortativity, providing a parsimonious explanation to the question above. Furthermore, by comparing the correlations measured in some real-world networks with those yielding maximum entropy for the same degree sequence, we find a remarkable agreement in various cases. Our approach provides a neutral model from which, in the absence of further knowledge regarding network evolution, one can obtain the expected value of correlations. In cases in which empirical observations deviate from the neutral predictions -- as happens in social networks -- one can then infer that there are specific correlating mechanisms at work.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures.

In Search of Balance between Regulation and Selfregulation of Online Behavioral Advertising

La publicidad comportamental en línea es la apuesta del mercado publicitario al vertiginoso crecimiento de la industria en la red. La instalación y uso de las cookies en los dispositivos de los usuarios es lo que posibilita esta práctica comercial, pero, al mismo tiempo, pone en jaque derechos de los usuarios como el control de sus datos personales o su derecho a la intimidad. Las políticas europeas han respondido a esta controversia poniendo el acento en el principio del consentimiento previo (optin), sin embargo, las recientes iniciativas de autorregulación puestas en marcha por la industria e inspiradas por el planteamiento estadounidense, no parecen respetar del todo este principio. Resulta evidente la necesidad de un acuerdo y equilibrio ente los intereses públicos y privados implicados en este conflicto.Behavioral advertising is the advertising market bet the rapid growth of the industry in the network. The installation and use of cookies on users’ devices allows this commercial practice, and at the same time, they have the rights of users and control their personal data or privacy. European policies have responded to this problem with the principle of prior consent (optin) against recent industry initiatives and inspired by American ideas of selfregulation. There is clearly a need for an agency agreement and balance public and private interests involved in this conflict
