Motorcycles in Cantabria

RESUMEN: El sector turístico es un pilar esencial para la economía de todas las comunidades autónomas que conforman España, y la situación no es diferente en el caso de Cantabria. Por ello, idear proyectos que ayuden a diversificar la oferta de la región y desestacionalizar la llegar de visitantes es siempre necesario. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo desarrollar una propuesta de negocio que contribuya a ambas, basada en fomentar actividades y crear una red organizativa en torno al turismo de motos. Para ello, se estudiará la situación de la región y se desarrollará el proyecto desde el punto de vista económico y organizativo, desglosando la campaña de marketing, el producto ofrecido y los aspectos financieros.ABSTRACT: The tourism sector is an essential pillar for all the regions that compose Spain, and this situation is not different when speaking about Cantabria. Because of this, creating projects that contribute to diversify Cantabria's touristic supply, and to seasonally adjust the arrival of new visitors, is always necessary. The objective of this work is to develop a business proposal that provides support for both of these elements, based on promoting activities and creating an organisational network towards motorcycle tourism. To achieve this, the situation of the region will be studied, and the project will be developed in terms of organisational and economic aspects, breaking down the marketing campaing, the product and financial issues.Grado en Turism

Buenas prácticas del Proyecto Piloto Enred@te: red social digital para personas mayores y voluntariado de la Cruz Roja Española

La iniciativa Enred@te, ideada por la Cruz Roja, la Fundación Vodafone y la Fundación TECSOS, surgió como evolución de un proyecto anterior en el que se desarrolló y pilotó una solución de video-comunicación entre personas mayores, a través de un sistema instalado en sus propios televisores. Ante el éxito de esa primera iniciativa, se decidió avanzar hacia una solución más flexible, robusta, de sencillo manejo y mayor calidad, consiguiendo una red social accesible a través de tablet que pueden utilizar las personas mayores para video-comunicarse con otras personas mayores y mantenerse informadas de diversos contenidos de interés. Además, como novedad, incorpora la participación del voluntariado virtual, parte de la red que promueve su uso de manera inclusiva y participativa. Esta solución también se pilotó en 2014 con resultados positivos, y actualmente se está trabajando para convertirla en un servicio que permita llegar a las personas mayores a través de la Cruz Roja

Endophytic yeast from sugarcane exhibit quorum quenching activity

Quorum sensing (QS) are signaling mechanisms that govern morphological and physiological responses to changes in cell density. QS enables microorganisms to communicate via secreted signaling molecules called autoinducers. Many of these autoninducers bellong to a N-acyl homoserine lactones`s (AHLs) family. AHLs are synthesized by Gram negative bacterias and their structure consist of a carbon N-acyl side chain linked to a lactone ring. These molecules are pH-dependent so the lactone ring will be reversibly hydrolyzed. On the other hand, Quorum quenching (QQ) is a process which disrupts the QS by different ways such as enzymatic lysis of the signal molecules. QQ allows to control many physiological mechanisms from pathogen gram negative bacteria. In view of this, the aim of the present work was to isolate yeasts with QQ properties from Saccharum officinarum, a species of sugar cane. Samples from roots, stems and leaves were plated onto YM agar. Incubation was carried out at 30ºC. Colonies with different morphotypes were selected and plated. Pure colony was obtained by repeated streaking on YM agar. The genomic DNA of the yeast isolates were extracted to identify them. They were used as template for PCR. The 26S rDNA gene was PCR-amplified using the following primers namely NL1 and NL4. Nucleotide sequences were compared with GenBank databases using the BLASTN program followed by sequence alignment Yeasts were incubated onto YM supplemented with HSLs comercial standards (C6-HSL, 3-oxo-C6-HSL, C10-HSL, 3-oxo-C10-HSL, C12-HSL, 3-oxo-C12-HSL, C8-HSL and 3-oxo-C8-HSL) to demostrate the presence of QQ mechanisms. After 2 days incubation supernadants of cultures were taken and the detection of HSLs degradation was carry out using two biosensor strains, Chromobacterium violaceum CV026 and Chromobacterium violaceum Vir07. If necessary acidification for re-lactonisation using HCl was performed. 19 yeast strains were finally isolated. Sequencing of 26S rDNA indicated that 19 strains bellonged to three different genus (Pichia, Rhodotorula and Sporisorium). In the QQ assay, all yeasts tested were able to degradate at least one of the proven HSLs comercial standards. The isolates presented a marked tendecy to hidrolyse long-acyl-chain compounds. However, two Rhodotorula strains exhibited the most outstanding behavior, by degradating the 8 different QS molecules assayed. In order to demostrate lactonase activity, supernadants of cultures were adicionated with HCl. The following bioassays revealed that at low pH levels the lactone rings were closed again suggesting the presence of lactonase enzymes in Rhodotorula yeasts.Fil: Bertini, Elisa Violeta.

Estimating the Maximum Hidden Vertex Set in Polygons

It is known that the MAXIMUM HIDDEN VERTEX SET problem on a given simple polygon is NP-hard [11], therefore we focused on the development of approximation algorithms to tackle it. We propose four strategies to solve this problem, the first two (based on greedy constructive search) are designed specifically to solve it, and the other two are based on the general metaheuristics Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithms. We conclude, through experimentation, that our best approximate algorithm is the one based on the Simulated Annealing metaheuristic. The solutions obtained with it are very satisfactory in the sense that they are always close to optimal (with an approximation ratio of 1.7, for arbitrary polygons; and with an approximation ratio of 1.5, for orthogonal polygons). We, also, conclude, that on average the maximum number of hidden vertices in a simple polygon (arbitrary or orthogonal) with n vertices is n4

Minimum Vertex Guard problem for orthogonal polygons: a genetic approach

The problem of minimizing the number of guards placed on vertices needed to guard a given simple polygon (MINIMUM VERTEX GUARD problem) is NP-hard. This computational complexity opens two lines of investigation: the development of algorithms that determine approximate solutions and the determination of optimal solutions for special classes of simple polygons. In this paper we follow the first line of investigation proposing an approximation algorithm based on the general met heuristic Genetic Algorithms to solve the MINIMUM VERTEXGUARD problem

Solving the minimum vertex floodlight problem with hybrid metaheuristics

In this paper we propose four approximation algorithms (metaheuristic based), for the Minimum Vertex Floodlight Set problem. Urrutia et al. [9] solved the combinatorial problem, although it is strongly believed that the algorithmic problem is NP-hard. We conclude that, on average, the minimum number of vertex floodlights needed to illuminate a orthogonal polygon with n vertices is n/4,29
