Dalle que dalle: la Filología como intermediaria en el salto de la cantidad a la calidad

construir un corpus textual con los recursos de la informática (es el caso del segundo firmante de este artículo) o esta posibilidad apenas había empezado a hacerse realidad en nuestra lengua (es el caso de la primera firmante), la idea básica que nos habían inculcado para el trabajo filológico se podía resumir así: si un grupo numeroso de textos de una misma familia recogía una determinada variante, ello no llevaba a premiar la cantidad frente a la calidad que supondría que otra variante apareciera solo en dos textos, pero de distinta familia; de forma que normalmente esta última forma ––la “lectio difficilior”― se consideraba preferente la primera. Saliendo fuera de las copias de un texto, para hacer una reconstrucción externa, era impensable ir más allá de donde llegó Alberto Blecua, con no poca paciencia, para tomar decisiones textuales con respecto a las poesías garcilasianas a través de aquellos testimonios que podían considerarse fuentes de las obras del poeta o, yendo en sentido inverso, siguiendo los rastros de las variantes discutidas, a través de las influencias que este ejerció

The system embodies two main functions: to provide information to the community and to support campus planning and management. Using a scenario describing possible actions, some users evaluated how its implementation would interfere with the quality of life on the campus. Results showed that it would produce a global improvement, in comparison to the year of the study

University Campus information system to assess quality of life using users' perception : a case study applied on the University of Minho Campus

Nowadays, quality of life survey is one of the primary concerns in urban planning and management. Its evaluation and monitoring became a challenge that decision makers have to lead with. This paper presents the work that conduced to the development of an information system to evaluate and monitor university campi quality of the life. The system embodies two main functions: to inform, allowing any user to know how has evolved the quality of life on campus; to be a decision support tool, mainly for facilities planning and management, taking advantages of users participation, through individual evaluations, in getting a global quality of life users perception. The results of the application of that system in case study are also presented

Multichannel detection of acoustic emissions and localization of the source by using a hybrid programming system

The detection of acoustic emissions with multiple channels and different kind of sensors (ultrasound electronic sensors and optical fiber sensors) is presented. The source localization based on the times of arrival is also carried out and different strategies for solving the location equations are compared. The most efficient strategy in terms of computational and complexity costs versus performance has been selected and the error propagation is analyzed. The errors of the acoustic emission source location (localization process) are evaluated from the errors of the times of arrival (detection process). For that, a hybrid programming architecture is proposed. It is formed by a virtual instrumentation system for the acquisition and the detection of multiple acoustic channels and an algorithms-oriented programming system for the implementation of the localization techniques (back-propagation and multiple-source separation algorithms could also be implemented in this system). Finally the communication between both systems is performed by a packet transfer protocol that allows remote operation (e.g. a local monitoring and a remote analysis and diagnosis).This work has been supported by the Spanish National Ministry of Science and Innovation, under the R&D project No. DPI 2009-14628-C03-01 and the scholarship FPI No. BES-2010-042083

Campus quality of life information system : a case study applied to the University of Minho

When analysing characteristics, form, dimension and organisation of university campi, it can be concluded that they can be seen as urban spaces. This fact is often enhanced due to their location: in urban areas or even merged in the city. In this context, a model for the evaluation of the quality of life based on concepts for urban spaces is presented in this paper. Its main purpose is to provide conceptual bases for the implementation of a decision support system that evaluates the university campus quality of life. The process integrates users’ perception and provides the ability to assess the impact of future interventions on the campus quality of life using scenarios. Those scenarios can be created by a tool included in the system and enabled to express through indicators values updates corresponding to possible changes in campus. The evaluation of the quality of life variation that would result from the scenario execution will serve as a decision support tool for campus management when studying several possibilities

Intelligent textiles for martial arts

Martial arts have become very popular among the young population and even children, especially over the past 10-15 years. This interest has created a research field for researchers and manufacturers about martial arts' clothing and equipment, especially in terms of intelligent textiles. This study has been conducted in order to present intelligent textile products for martial arts' equipment and clothing. For this purpose, we have analyzed and presented different martial art divisions' equipment and clothes and the existing electronic systems.This work is financed by FEDER funds through the Competitivity Factors Operational Program - COMPETE and by national funds through FCT – Foundation for Science and Technology within the scope of the project POCI-01-0145-FEDER-007136.

Developments in preparation and dyeing of CORONA discharged cellulosic materials

The preparation and dyeing of cellulosic fabrics hás important problems such as uniformity of aspect, cleaning efficiency, level of bleaching, conformity and fastness of colours, and ecological impact. Combination of preparation processes can give optimal solutions, regarding economy and ecology, especially if superior quality items are achieved in final products. In fact, high standards concerning whiteness, starch removal and hidrophilicity are considered a good basis for leveled, cleaner and intense dyeing. A better white basis, escellent hidrophilicity and enough removal of impurities are obtained if desizing is omitted and a CORONA discharge is made over dry grey material. Exhaustion dyeings with different classes of direct dyes show similar behavior concerning the positive influence of the discharge in the intensity of colours and their fastness. Good penetration of dyes in coronised cotton materials is assured and consequently a good fastness is abtained

Avaliação de zonas de criticidade acústica: aplicação das potencialidades de um SIG na avaliação do ruído de uma cidade de média dimensão

O crescimento urbano, pelas dimensões que actualmente assume, vem exercendo pressões de forma continuada nos recursos, nas infra-estruturas e nos equipamentos, afectando negativamente o standard de vida dos cidadãos. Neste contexto, a avaliação e monitorização da qualidade do ambiente urbano tornou se um tema de primordial importância quando considerado como um instrumento de apoio à decisão para a construção de cidades mais sustentáveis e com melhor qualidade de vida. Viana do Castelo é uma cidade de média dimensão localizada no litoral norte de Portugal e que aceitou o desafio de desenvolver uma programa para a melhoria da qualidade do seu ambiente urbano, com o objectivo de aderir ao Projecto Cidades Saudáveis e integrar a Rede Europeia das Cidades Saudáveis. Neste programa, a caracterização do ruído urbano, nomeadamente a determinação dos níveis de intensidade sonora na zona urbana e da exposição da população ao ruído ambiente, foi considerada uma das acções prioritárias. A ferramenta adoptada para desenvolver estes estudos inclui modelos de previsão de ruído numa plataforma de SIG. Com base em dados de tráfego e nas características físicas do local foram desenvolvidos mapas de ruído e procedeu-se ao seu cruzamento com o zonamento acústico do território e com a população residente. Esta combinação foi a base para a identificação das zonas de criticidade acústica, em termos de níveis de ruído e dos índices de exposição da população a esses níveis de ruído. O presente artigo apresenta uma abordagem deste problema, passando pelos fundamentos teóricos e pelo estudo desenvolvido para a cidade de Viana do Castelo

Instrumentation system for location of partial discharges using acoustic detection with piezoelectric transducers and optical fiber sensors

In this paper, a multichannel instrumentation system for the location of partial discharges (PDs) in power transformers is presented. It is based on the detection of the acoustic emissions from PDs in oil with several piezoelectric (PZT) and fiber optic sensors. An acoustic detection and location approach is proposed based on a time reference given by one fiber optic sensor installed inside the tank and the times of arrival to several PZT sensors installed outside the tank (two in front of each phase windings of a three phase transformer for a typical application). The signal processing includes digital denoising techniques and time-difference lookup table-based 3-D location algorithms; these algorithms have been implemented with virtual instrumentation. The system is tested in an acoustic experimental setup and the location accuracy is evaluated. Finally, the error propagation from the times of arrival and the influence of the number of sensors and their sites in the 3-D location algorithm were analyzed.This work was supported in part by the Spanish National Ministry of Science and Innovation under the Project DPI 2009-14628-C03-01 and in part by the scholarship FPI under Grant BES-2010-04208
