    Concern about everything related to energy is increasingly latent in the world and therefore the use of energy saving concepts has been increasing over the past several years. The interest in the subject has allowed a conceptual evolution in the scientific community regarding the understanding of the adequate use of energy. The objective of this work is to determine the contribution made by international institutions to the specialized publications in the area of energy-saving from 1939 to 2018, using Scopus Database API Interface. The methodology followed in this research was to perform a bibliometric analysis of the whole scientific production indexed in Scopus. The world’s scientific production has been analysed in the following domains: First the trend over time, types of publications and countries, second, the main subjects and keywords, third, main institutions and their main topics, and fourth, the main journals and proceedings that publish on this topic. Then, these data are presented using community detection algorithms and graph visualization software. With these techniques, it is possible to determine the main areas of research activity as well as to identify the structures of the collaboration network in the field of renewable energy. The results of the work show that the literature in this field have substantially increased during the last 10 years

    This is an electronic version of the paper presented at the Special Session on Learning, Agents and Formal Languages (LAFLang 2013), during the International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence (ICAART 2013), held in Barcelona (Spain) on 2013In this paper we will compare our first steps in two different approaches to define programming languages for NEPs (one bio-inspired model of computation in which our research group is interested). The classic approach proposed by the literature several decades ago is focused on the grammar of the syntax of the language being defined. Recently the focus is moved to a formal description (model) of the model of computation for which the programming language is being designed. This approach is called model driven. The designer simply adds syntax, semantics checks and translation routines to the different elements of the model that are applied. Programming is usually understood as instantiating the model. After introducing the main characteristics of each model for this particular case some conclusions and further research tasks are discussed.Work partially supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under coordinated research project TIN2011-28260-C03-00 and research project TIN2011-28260-C03-02 and by the Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid under research project e-madrid S2009/TIC-165

    [ES] El análisis de la morfología corneal es un procedimiento muy útil en el diagnóstico clínico de determinadas patologías oculares, especialmente las relacionadas con alteraciones ectásicas corneales. Desde la aparición de los sistemas basados en Discos de Plácido a los sistemas que incorporan la fotografía Scheimpflug, existe una variedad de instrumentos que ofrecen la posibilidad de analizar con gran precisión parámetros de la morfología corneal. En esta comunicación se revisan los diversos instrumentos que han sido utilizados para caracterizar la morfología corneal, estando todos influenciados, en mayor o menor medida, por factores como la rapidez de adquisición de datos y la estabilidad de la película lagrimal. [ENG] The analysis of the corneal shape is a very useful process that permits the clinical diagnosis of determined ocular pathologies, especially those related with corneal ectatic disorders. From the appearance of the systems based on the Placido-disc technology to the new systems that combine the accurate Scheimpflug photography, there are a variety of ophthalmic instruments that permit to analyze with high accuracy some parameters of the corneal shape. This communication reviews the different systems that have been used to characterize the corneal morphology, being all of them influenced, to a greater or lesser extent, by factors such as the speed for data acquisition and the stability of the tear film.Centro Universitario de la Defensa.
