Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Sinan from the Delivery Hero mobile infrastructure engineering team shares a deep dive into performance acceleration with Gradle build cache optimizations. Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.
The CBC machine is a common diagnostic tool used by doctors to measure a patient's red blood cell count, white blood cell count and platelet count. The machine uses a small sample of the patient's blood, which is then placed into special tubes and analyzed. The results of the analysis are then displayed on a screen for the doctor to review. The CBC machine is an important tool for diagnosing various conditions, such as anemia, infection and leukemia. It can also help to monitor a patient's response to treatment.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Término que engloba la movilidad sostenible (entendiendo las tres patas de la sostenibilidad: económica, social y medioambiental) y la seguridad vial. Es en la ciudad donde la demanda de transporte se hace más intensa y donde los impactos de este se multiplican y afectan a más personas. Para paliar estos problemas, la ecomovilidad se basa en un uso eficiente de cada modo de transporte: coche (carsharing y carpooling), moto, transporte público (taxi, bus, metro, BRT, tranvía, metro ligero,…), bicicleta (tanto pública como privada), pie y cualquier otra forma de desplazamiento.

Blog + comunidad
En energía y material entra nuestro tiempo, dinero para el servidor, inspiración de otros blogs (Doble Fila, Politikon, Marcaporhombro, Estación en curva), nuestras ganas de mejorar la movilidad,…
Contar que ahora somos unos 10 editores en activo, que hay varios discontinuos, que ha habido más.
Hacer un repaso a cómo se formó desde Andén 1 como respuesta a unas políticas de transporte que veían discutibles y la asociación no, que empezaron Isidro y Fer y al día siguiente ya se había unido Adri y que se fueron sumando editores hasta tener 3 ediciones en el primer año: Madrid, Barcelona y Granada. Después entramos desde Fon, ya sin conocernos de antemano y ahora tenemos un nuevo modelo de blog que ha superado las ediciones territoriales, de modo que lanzamos particularizaciones para Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, Tenerife y Vitoria pero tenemos etiquetas y RRSS prácticamente para toda España. Esta práctica de reserva la usamos también para crear RRSS y canal de Telegram.
Hablar de que, por alguna razón, no hemos conseguido vocaciones femeninas salvo una editora que ya no continúa y decir que esto nos da un sesgo que querríamos corregir incorporando una perspectiva que pueden dar mujeres. De hecho, igual que tenemos este sesgo, tenemos otros y deberíamos buscar cierta diversidad formativa: educadores/as, sociólogos/as, arquitectos/as…
Por último, contar cómo es nuestro proceso de incorporación de editores.
Blog: qué escribimos ahí, qué tipo de cosas proponemos, número de visitas
- Hablar de que tanto en RRSS como en el blog tenemos un libro de estilo que regula qué contenido es susceptible de aparecer en el blog y cómo debemos comunicar: cómo nombrar a las instituciones y operadores, cómo debe articularse un tema, qué tipo de redacción seguir, etc. Y obviedades como que hay que contrastar cualquier información antes de lanzarla, aunque cada día vemos en los mass media que la información veraz brilla por su ausencia y se busca el impacto rápido antes que la calidad de la información.
- ¿Cómo decidimos los temas y cómo dividimos el trabajo? Tenemos un grupo de Telegram (antes fue Whatsapp, antes un grupo cerrado de FB, antes Yammer) y una cuenta de Google Groups, donde compartimos los temas que vamos viendo, fotos de viajes, recibimos notas de prensa, debatimos. Muchos temas surgen en el momento y simplemente se pone a escribir quien está más libre en ese momento o, si son temas que exigen más tiempo o reposo, cada uno decide libremente qué escribir. No pensamos en qué le gustaría al público sino que escribimos lo que a nosotros nos gustaría leer o lo que queremos compartir.
RRSS, mail y contacto: sirven de inspiración y de vía para conseguir una comunicación bidireccional. Además, algo que solemos hacer es reservar el perfil en las RRSS que no tenemos, por si en algún momento pasamos a establecer ese canal de comunicación. También hemos intentado embarcarnos en otras RRSS, como LinkedIn, pero la falta de tiempo para dedicarle a aprender los códigos de esta red (que son distintos a los del resto) para generar una red a nuestro alrededor, hicieron que abandonáramos el grupo, pero seguimos compartiendo nuestros posts a través de nuestros perfiles personales.
3) Hablar de los emails que se piensan que somos AAPP (algo haremos bien y las AAPP y los que nos escriben harán mal, para que pase)
En concreto, dos premios “Muévete Verde”. El primero, en 2010, “Premio a la implicación ciudadana en eventos y actividades mediáticas”. El segundo, en 2015 en la categoría “Aplicación de nuevas tecnologías a la movilidad”. Fue un premio ex aequo a Urbanismo y Transporte, En Bici Por Madrid y ecomovilidad.net, por el desarrollo participativo de un programa electoral ciudadano especializado en movilidad urbana. Y, por último, un premio a la “Promoción del TP” del CRTM en el año 2012
Esta broma en particular se nos fue de las manos y al día siguiente empezamos a ver que la prensa se la creía, así que tuvimos que salir a desmentir la noticia y poner claramente que se trataba de una inocentada. Es el precio por ser un referente en cuanto a la veracidad de la información que facilitamos, que luego bromeamos y nos creen.

Hemos participado en el Foro de la Movilidad, en la creación del OMUSM, en los debates de la Mesa de Movilidad del Ayuntamiento, en el diseño del cuestionario para la consulta ciudadana en el proceso de reforma de Plaza de España (aunque aquí nos hicieron poco caso), en el Comité de Normalización de AENOR de SmartCities, Y4PT, CiviNET y próximamente participaremos en ONU Habitat
1. Diagnóstico de la movilidad: problemas de la ciudad y de su relación con el área metropolitana.
2. Diagnóstico de la movilidad: virtudes de la ciudad y de su relación con el área metropolitana.
3. Objetivos que se persiguen.
4. Propuestas para lograr esos objetivos, desarrollando las diferentes medidas incluidas dentro de cada propuesta.
5. Separación de las propuestas urgentes y necesarias pero no urgentes.
6. Mecanismos de interacción entre ciudadanos y Administración.
Appgree: es una web con versión app para móvil en el que se plantean votaciones sobre un tema en el que las respuestas escritas son valoradas por el resto de participantes, asegurándose siempre unos mínimos y máximos de evaluadores por respuesta para obtener puntuaciones comparables. Esto permite la recepción de ideas complejas de una manera sencilla. Con el mismo calendario del blog se lanzaban las preguntas semanales preguntando sobre los problemas de la movilidad, sus virtudes, etc.
Cuando la gente se decidía a votar en Appgree realizaba alguna de estas dos acciones:
a) Presentar una idea que no estuviera ya en el borrador técnico para someterla a votación.
b) Votar las ideas de otros, fueran las del borrador técnico o las escritas por otros participantes.
Ésa es la teoría: la realidad es que había muchas redundancias y respuestas que no se correspondían con la pregunta formulada y nos tocó ir puliendo.
Lo mejor del proyecto fue realizar las innovaciones técnicas que iban siendo necesarias para realizar el proceso. Así, el proceso se desarrollaba a medida que avanzaba la programación de Appgree y viceversa. Por ejemplo, como las votaciones de Appgree se incrustaron en el blog con objeto de aumentar la participación en este canal y derivar a resultados concretos las discusiones, Appgree requirió una adaptación, permitiendo sobrepasar el tiempo de votación
de 24h que ofrecía en un principio la aplicación hasta la semana entera demandada para el proyecto. Igualmente tuvieron que desarrollar la posibilidad de que otra página (en este caso el blog enbicipormadrid.es) mostrara las preguntas activas sin necesidad de registrarse, para de esta manera incitar a la participación. Gracias a esta interacción mutua se consiguió multiplicar por 8 la participación en el canal Appgree durante el tiempo que duró la fase 2 (de 130 a 900 inscritos), a la vez que se logró que sus respuestas tuvieran tal calidad técnica que en algunos casos superaron en puntuación a las planteadas desde el equipo técnico, que también entraban en el proceso de votación. Es también un dato importante frente a la desconfianza de que una participación
popular baja el nivel de calidad de las propuestas puramente técnicas.
Tras la dinamización de la participación ciudadana, se realizó un “filtro técnico”, en el cual se estudia la viabilidad de todas las propuestas para que éstas queden formuladas con un completo rigor técnico y se compara el resultado con el obtenido en el programa inicial. En un proceso ideal, esta comparación daría lugar a un nuevo programa a discutir de forma iterativa hasta conseguir un consenso adecuado. Sin embargo, en este trabajo no se han realizado
procesos iterativos, sino que tras la participación se redactó un programa final.
Una vez realizado el programa se envió a los principales partidos y agrupaciones para ver su respuesta de cara a las elecciones municipales de mayo de 2015. Ganemos Madrid (que, tras el proceso de confluencia con Podemos pasó a denominarse Ahora Madrid) fue el primer grupo en solicitar la colaboración ciudadana en este tema, antes incluso de realizar su programa electoral. El resto de candidaturas (IU, PSOE, UPyD, PP y Ciudadanos), han ido dando acuse de recibo y han ido mostrando un mayor o menor interés en función de su posición y formas de trabajo.
Todos los partidos incorporaron a sus programas elementos de nuestro programa (excepto el PP en Madrid, pero es que no presentó programa) (y aún así estuvo a punto de ganar la alcaldía, de locos)
La participación ciudadana no es un lujo sino una necesidad y los técnicos tenemos que adaptar nuestra forma de trabajar para incluir las preocupaciones, necesidades y valores de los distintos agentes en la toma de los proyectos de ingeniería. Este artículo plasma el experimento realizado por ecomovilidad.net, urbanismoytransporte.com y enbicipormadrid.es como primer acercamiento para llevar las propuestas de la sociedad a los partidos
políticos, que pretende ser el germen de la inclusión de la participación ciudadana en las decisiones políticas en materia de movilidad urbana sostenible y modelo de ciudad.
Entre los aspectos positivos que ha traído la experiencia se debe destacar que la inteligencia colectiva dio lugar a una mejora de determinados aspectos del programa e introdujo medidas que los técnicos no nos habíamos planteado; que de forma conjunta el programa mejoró con Appgree y, a su vez, Appgree mejoró con los requerimientos del proyecto, la técnica y la participación han crecido y evolucionado de la mano; que las propuestas presentadas por los ciudadanas eran factibles y realizables; y, sobre todo, el ingente campo de mejora que se abre con este proceso. Entre estas mejoras se puede resaltar el hecho de que diferentes partidos políticos han introducido las propuestas resultantes del proceso en sus programas para las elecciones del 24 de mayo de 2015.
Sin embargo, esta prueba piloto no ha estado exenta de problemas. La participación obtenida en las aplicaciones escritas en la metodología (200 usuarios) no deja de ser testimonial incluso dentro del ámbito de los sitios participantes, que suman unos 10.000 lectores diarios. Para futuros procesos sería deseable extender la difusión por medios oficiales con el fin de llegar a un mayor número de ciudadanos, ampliando el alcance de la iniciativa a la
escala de la ciudad. Cualquier proceso de estas características debe asumir la dificultad de movilizar una muestra suficientemente amplia y representativa que legitime el proceso de cara a la opinión pública, ya sea en parámetros demográficos (lugar de residencia, edad, situación social…) así como evitar factores externos que desvirtúen el resultado del proceso.
Hay que tener en cuenta que en el panorama actual, debido a la falta de cultura madura de participación por parte de casi todos los actores urbanos, estos no están siempre interesados en definir de forma común el modelo de ciudad. Este trabajo pretende servir de referencia para que la ciudadanía, los técnicos, los responsables municipales y, en definitiva, todos los actores urbanos, vean que existen instrumentos que permiten formular mecanismos
de participación que pueden ser muy simples pero que enriquecen la calidad de las propuestas políticas y de los proyectos.
Además, futuros trabajos deben abordar la cuantificación de la calidad de la participación en dos ámbitos: 1) los criterios de aceptación, que se refieren a las características de un método que lo hacen aceptable para el público en general, y 2) los criterios de proceso, que estudian las características del proceso que son responsables de asegurar que se lleva a cabo de una manera eficaz y permiten el seguimiento en la implantación de las medidas.
