Deafness is often regarded as just a one and only phenomenon. Accordingly, deaf people are pictured as a unified body of people who share a single problem. From a medical point of view, we find it usual to work with…

This paper describes a multi-agent based simulation (MABS) framework to construct an artificial electric power market populated with learning agents. The artificial market, named TEMMAS (The Electricity Market Multi-Agent Simulator), explores the integration of two design constructs: i) the specification…

The methods of differential geometry are used with the assumption that rays of light follow geodesic trajectories in a space whose metric is determined by the refraction index. Keeping this in mind, we show that these hypotheses are equivalent to…

We describe an integrated project that includes theoretical, numerical and experimental studies designed to facilitate teaching the non-linear post-buckling of a cantilever column to undergraduate mechanical engineering students. We present the differential equation governing the behaviour of this mechanical system…

I describe the development of a group in North London that aimed to increase the involvement of carers in the development and monitoring of mental health services across the borough. I enabled the carers to evaluate their experiences of the…

Over the past decades significant changes have occurred throughout all aspects of the field of Special Education in Spain. One of these changes is related to appropriate and effective instruction for students with disabilities and diverse educational needs in inclusive…

Data Warehouses manage historical information for the decision making process, and this information could be discovered by unauthorized users if security constraints are not established. It is therefore highly important for OLAP tools to consider the security rules defined at…

In a previous study, we investigated, at a laboratory scale, the chemical activation of two different carbon fibres (CF), their porosity characterization, and their optimization for hydrogen storage [1]. In the present work, this study is extended to: (i) a…

Bleached holograms are one of the most interesting techniques used to produce phase holograms of high quality on photographic emulsions. Of particular interest is the method of fixation-free rehalogenating bleaching. In this paper we will study the influence of the…
