Postural and dynamic analysis of the human body: The relevance of the functional modulator factors in the methodological design

[EN] Functional studies analyze the interaction between the human body and its environment studying both, the posture and the movement. It is well known that at the Universities where health science and sports studies are taught there is a need to raise academic activities involving functional studies.The main objective is to make awareness of the factors that can modulate a certain function in the human body and must be well known for university students to perform a good research projects and career. To do this, we present a detailed list of intrinsic and extrinsic functional modulator factors (FMF) of the human body and propose a new methodology to teach those skills. During both, the project data collection and data reduction, FMF such as sitting and standing postures or walking, running and jumping movements must be taken into account. The recognition of the FMF that may influence the results must be previously known and identified to succeed in the methodological design of functional studies of the human body.The novelty of our work is not to direct the attention to the lecturer but to focus it to the student’s academic support to accomplish the active work like the fieldwork presented in this paper. In conclusion, the understanding of the FMF by university students using fieldwork activities during their degree would help them to develop a critical attitude in terms of validity and scientific evidence.  EUSES-School of Health and Sport Science, University of Girona, Spain.Puig-Diví, A.; Prats-Puig, A.

Trajectory management for aircraft noise mitigation

Comunicació convidadaThis paper gives an overview of aircraft trajectory management aimed at producing noise abatementprocedures. Area Navigation (RNAV) concepts play an important role in the design of flexible and, therefore, noise friendly depart or approach procedures. In addition, the lowest dispersion of RNAV tracks help to contain noise footprints in a smaller area if compared with footprints that are produced when conventional procedures are flown. However, RNAV turns still produce a significant amount of dispersion because of different aircraft performance and different Flight Management Systems (FMS) implementation. Noise exposure can be also mitigated if the aircraft trajectory is conveniently modified in the vertical plane. In this work, a brief overview of different lateral and vertical noise abatement strategies is given. Theoretical optimal trajectories are also assessed presenting some results of previous research done by the authors. The annoyance produced by aircraft noise in different noise sensitive locations is taken as minimization objective. This annoyance not only takes into account the measured acoustic values but also other important aspects that will affect the perceived annoyance by the population. The concept of equitable trajectories is also presented, where noise annoyance is minimized in the worst noise sensitive location and not as an average value for all locations

A new morphodynamic instability associated with cross-shore transport in the nearshore

The existing theory for shore-transverse rhythmic sand bars relies on morphodynamic instabilities involving the wave-driven longshore current and rip currents. Intriguingly, transverse finger bars are common on coasts with sediment excess, something not related to those currents. Here we show that, if the actual beach profile is above the equilibrium profile, cross-shore transport can induce an instability triggered by onshore transport together with wave refraction by the emerging bars. We use a numerical model that filters out the dynamics associated to longshore and rip currents but includes a simplified version of cross-shore transport and is able to reproduce the formation of shore-transverse bars. The alongshore spacing scales with the wavelength of the incident waves and the cross-shore extent is approximately equal to the distance from shore to the depth of closure. The modeled bars compare qualitatively well with observations at El Trabucador back-barrier beach (Ebro delta, Western Mediterranean Sea).Postprint (published version

Aircraft annoyance minimization around urban airports based on fuzzy logic

This paper presents a strategy based on fuzzy logic and lexicographic multi-objective optimization for designing noise abatement procedures aimed at reducing the noise exposure of the population living around the airports. A non-linear multi-objective optimal control problem is formally written and identified. A lexicographic optimization technique is presented for establishing a hierarchical order among the optimization objectives which are the noise at several different sensitive locations and fuel or time consumption criteria. A fuzzy logic set has been established to represent the noise annoyance in four different sensitive locations around the airport. A model for departure procedures has been used and the solution for a hypothetical scenario with four different noise sensitive locations is presented.Peer Reviewe

Optimal departure aircraft trajectories minimising population annoyance

Best Paper in Track Award de l’International Congress on Research in Air TransportThis paper presents a strategy for designing noise abatement procedures aimed at reducing the global annoyance perceived for the population living around the airports. By using fuzzy logic techniques it is shown how annoyance can be modelled in function of the maximum perceived noise level at a specific noise sensitive location and the time of the day when the departure takes place. Thus, the annoyance is computed for different kinds of sensibility areas, such as residential zones, industrial zones, schools or hospitals and an annoyance figure is obtained for each possible trajectory. Then, a non-linear multiobjective optimal control problem is presented in order to obtain the minimum annoyance trajectory for all sensitive locations. Lexicographic optimisation is used to cope with the difficulties that arise when several criteria appear in the optimisation process. Finally, a practical example is given for an hypothetical scenario where different optimal trajectories are obtained at different day periods.Peer ReviewedAward-winnin

Planning of aircraft departure trajectories by using fuzzy logic and lexocographic optimization

In this paper a strategy for planning aircraft departure trajectories for a given airport is presented. Noise annoyance produced by overflying aircraft is modelled by using fuzzy logic in function of the received noise level during the trajectory, the type and specific sensibility of the areas being overflyed and the time of the day when the aircraft departure takes place. Hence, an annoyance figure is obtained at different locations in the vicinity of the airport in function of a given trajectory. A non-linear multi-objective optimal control problem is presented in order to minimize the annoyance at all different locations and an optimal departure trajectory is obtained. The multi-objective optimization problem is solved by using a lexicographic technique where a hierarchical order among the optimization objectives is established in function of the perceived annoyance at each different location. Finally a practical example is given where an optimal departure trajectory is obtained while minimizing the noise nuisance at some residential zones, hospitals, schools and industrial zones.Peer Reviewe

Hierarchical and sensitivity analysis for noise abatement departure procedures

Reprinted with permission of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, IncNowadays, the establishment of new noise abatement procedures is one of the main issues that airport authorities have to address. As a continuation of previous studies, the authors present in this paper a strategy for designing such procedures aimed at reducing the global annoyance perceived for the population living around the airports. Noise optimal departing routes are computed for a specific aircraft type and for a given scenario. This non-linear multi-objective optimal control problem is solved by using lexicographic and hierarchical optimisation techniques. This approach establishes a hierarchical order among all the optimisation objectives, which in this work are set as the maximum perceived noise levels at different noise sensitive locations. If the prioritisation that should be adopted is not clear, this work presents two techniques aimed at obtaining the best solution according to an equitable principle, based on minimising the worst case noise annoyance. First approach requires a high computational cost, but the best trajectory is obtained, being the opposite case for the second technique, which is based on heuristics.Peer Reviewe
