Contribución al conocimiento litoestratigráfico del Cretácico de la zona central de la región asturiana

Se describen, de muro a techo en la zona media de la serie cretácica asturiana, tres unidades litoestratigráficas: de margas nodulosas grises, calcáreo-detrítica y detrítica micácea. Estas unidades resultan litológicamente características y fácilmente reconocibles en el campo. En consecuencia, se proponen como buenos niveles guía en una extensión que abarca desde el W de Oviedo hasta el meridiano de Ceceda

A large-scale simulation of the piriform cortex by a cell automaton-based network model

An event-driven framework is used to construct physiologically motivated large-scale model of the piriform cortex containing in the order of 105 neuron-like computing units. This approach is based on a hierarchically defined highly abstract neuron model consisting of finite-state machines. It provides computational efficiency while incorporating components which have identifiable counterparts in the neurophysiological domain. The network model incorporates four neuron types, and glutamatergic excitatory and inhibitory synapses. The spatio-temporal patterns of cortical activity and the temporal and spectral characteristics of simulated electroencephalograms (EEGs) are studied. In line with previous experimental and compartmental work, 1) shock stimuli elicit EEG profiles with either isolated peaks or damped oscillations, the response type being determined by the intensity of the stimuli, and 2) temporally unpatterned input generates EEG oscillations supported by model-wide waves of excitation. <br/

Análisis, uso y desarrollo experimental de herramientas y tecnologías Open Source en Big Data

In this project, we pretend to analise, use and justify the use of Big Data nowadays in different areas like companies, research laboratories, etc., as well as different tools and Open Source technologies behind it that make it possible. The methodology used for this project has consisted on doing an exhaustive analysis of the current and future situation of Big Data, the introduction of the tools and Open Source technologies available, the study and comparative of each of them and the final experimental development with our own data. We highlight the use of Big Data, along with the associated technologies and tools such as Hadoop and Spark, as a great alternative to classic way of storing and processing big amounts of data. Given that it is a new concept for us, we are going to try to exploit as much as possible the Open Source functionalities related to Big Data and we are going to give our own personal recommendation on each one evaluating their main characteristics. Finally, we are going to dig further on the concept of Machine Learning on which a lot of companies are focusing their development. In order to do this, we are going to do an experimental project aiming to detect people's position based on the access points whose devices are connected to. The main objective is to study different algorithms to obtain the best possible accuracy of personal position and to compare the different results throw the analysis and processing of obtained data such as Building, Floor, etc

Point set stratification and minimum weight structures

Three different concepts of depth in a point set are considered and compared: Convex depth, location depth and Delaunay depth. As a notion of weight is naturally associated to each depth definition, we also present results on minimum weight structures (like spanning trees, poligonizations and triangulations) with respect to the three variations.DURSYMinisterio de Ciencia y Tecnologí

Soroll, drets i tribunals: una visió transversal. La protecció en l’àmbit internacional i constitucional

La necessitat de protegir la persona davant del soroll ha motivat l’articulació de tota una sèrie d’instruments de protecció, tant en l’àmbit internacional (sobretot amb la tasca efectuada pel Tribunal Europeu de Drets Humans) com en l’ordenament intern, amb la recepció d’aquesta jurisprudencia pel Tribunal Constitucional espanyol. Com que el soroll constitueix un problema multifactorial (amb una important repercussió tant per al ciutadà particular com per a tota la societat), una visió completa d’aquesta qüestió requereix necessàriament una perspectiva jurídica multidisciplinària, atenent sempre els drets i interessos implicats en cada cas i sense que hi càpiguen solucions automàtiques en un o altre sentit
