Development of a MATLAB/Simulink - Arduino environment for experimental practices in control engineering teaching

This project presents the steps followed when implementing a platform based on MATLAB/Simulink and Arduino for the restoration of digital control practices. During this project, an Arduino shield has being designed. Along with this, a web page has also been created where all the material done during all this project is available and can be freely used. So anyone interested on doing a project can have a starting point instead of starting a project from scratch, which most of times this results hard to implement. Taking all this into account, the document is structured in the following manner. The first chapter talks about the hardware used and designed. The second one explains the software used and the configurations done on the laboratory’s PCs. After that, the web page Duino-Based Learning is explained, where you can find the five projects carried out in the "Control Automàtic" subject with their corresponding results. In this section too, as an additional research, the implemented indirect adaptive control will be explained, where the parameter estimation has been done by the Recursive Least Square algorithm. The last four sections before presenting the conclusions of the work, correspond to a satisfaction questionnaire done to the teachers that have used the setup, the costs and saves of the project, the environmental impact and the planning of the project respectively

This work materials introduce the fundamentals of Control Engineering through exercises and videos. Along with all this, the most important steps and issues appeared in the project are explained, so anyone interested on doing a project can have a starting point instead of starting a project from scratch, which most of times this results hard to implementPeer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Physiological adaptation to altitude. Possible therapeutic implications

25 p. : il. -- Bibliogr.: p. 24-25High altitude is characterised by hypoxia; low levels of oxygen in the atmosphere create a deficiency in oxygen reaching the tissues. Hypoxia creates a stress in all aerobic bodies, leading to physiological, metabolic and genomic changes to adapt to this new environment. As there are some high-altitude adapted populations, we are going to make a difference between adaptation and acclimation. Adaptation is referred as the long-term evolutionary changes which affect the whole population and acclimation are the short-term changes which lowland adapted newcomers undergo to adapt to a new environment. In this final degree work, we will identify the main changes produced by hypoxia and other altitude-related factors in different states of the human body. We will resume physiological changes, deleterious effects in other pathologies, altitude training, as well as a review of the actual treatment and prophylaxis of the unpleasant symptoms lead by an incorrect short-term adaptation to hypoxia. We will speak about pathologies and special situations like pregnancies, hypoxic adaptations lead to changes in these illnesses situation, some of them get improved and some of them get aggravated by altitude’s hypoxia. Recently, high-altitude and hypoxia are seen as a new pathway for the treatment of some pathologies such as obesity, diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases and can open up some new fields for future studies
