Cables are one of the common structures studied in a first-year engineering mechanics course (statics), since the flexible cable is one of the usual methods of supporting loads. For example, the suspension bridge has been used for many centuries and…

The subject matter of this work is focused in the development of an application for team work over a distributed system belonging to an organization.
This choice is based in the organizations need of their members’ continuing formation/training, and of…

There is a need of counting on precise measurements of subjective losses that can be used for predicting the quality of an image. The objective of the present work is to determine these distortion measurements and test the use of…

The main goal of this thesis was to design new parallel processing strategies specially conceived for distributed environments in order to solve numerical and structural problems from the field of process systems engineering more efficiently. More specifically, the numerical sample…

The goal of this Thesis is reducing the global penalty associated to branch mispredictions, in terms of both performance degradation and energy consumption, through the use of confidence estimation. The reduction of this global penalty has been achieved, firstly, by…

The electrochemical reduction of perchloroethylene (PCE) in water has been analyzed through voltammetric studies with a
rotating disc electrode and controlled potential bulk electrolysis. The influence of the mass transport conditions and initial concentration on lead, copper and carbon electrodes…

In this work we study the effect of the glass substrate on the efficiencies of the different orders that propagate inside a transmission sinusoidal diffraction grating. Holographic optical elements are usually recorded on a photosensitive medium deposited on to a…

Previously we described a large collection of cloned human DNAs that encode chemically defined missense mutations
within the ribosomal protein S14 sequence. We determined that biologically inactive (i.e. null) alleles resulted primarily
from point mutations targeted to two internal segments…

The definitive version is available at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1475-1313.2009.00678.x/abstract, To evaluate the effects of a customised manipulation of spherical aberration (SA) on the high and low contrast visual acuities and contrast sensitivity of young adult myopes.

En este artículo vamos a analizar determinadas estructuras se sintaxis anómala en inglés (extraposición, oración existencial, oración semi-hendida, pasiva y oración hendida) siguiendo los principios de la Gramática Sistémica Funcional, escuela lingüística que nos ayudará a entender las relaciones entre…
