  • Informe De Resultados De La Consulta a Asociaciones Vecinales Relativa Al Estado De La Limpieza En La Ciudad De Madrid
    INFORME DE RESULTADOS DE LA CONSULTA A ASOCIACIONES VECINALES RELATIVA AL ESTADO DE LA LIMPIEZA EN LA CIUDAD DE MADRID Madrid, 29 de septiembre de 2016 Informe de resultados de la consulta a las asociaciones vecinales relativa al estado de la limpieza en la ciudad de Madrid. (septiembre 2016) 1. INTRODUCCIÓN La preocupación por la limpieza y el mantenimiento del viario urbano y de espacios públicos como plazas, parques y jardines ha formado parte de las prioridades de las asociaciones vecinales desde su origen, hace casi 50 años. A lo largo de su historia, las entidades ciudadanas no han cesado de defender, a través de acciones de todo tipo, unos barrios y pueblos limpios y saludables. Lo han hecho como hacen con otros asuntos, conjugando la denuncia pública y la protesta en la calle con la negociación y la colaboración con la Administración y los representantes públicos, sean del color que sean. La Federación Regional de Asociaciones Vecinales de Madrid (FRAVM), que aglutina actualmente a 270 entidades de la comunidad autónoma, lleva años alertando del deterioro de los servicios públicos de la capital, incluidos los relativos a limpieza viaria, recogida de basuras y mantenimiento de parques y jardines. Lo hicimos durante el mandato de Alberto Ruiz Gallardón- Ana Botella y lo hacemos ahora con Manuela Carmena, recogiendo siempre el mandato de nuestras asociaciones federadas, que a su vez recogen el sentir de sus vecindarios. Hoy, más allá del uso partidista e interesado que puedan hacer algunas formaciones políticas, la realidad es que esos vecindarios están profundamente preocupados por el déficit de limpieza que padecen los barrios y la ciudad, un problema que el actual equipo de gobierno no ha sido capaz de mejorar en sus 15 meses de andadura.

  • A New Spatio-Temporal Neural Network Approach for Traffic Accident Forecasting
    UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE EDUCACIÓN A DISTANCIA MASTER THESIS A New Spatio-Temporal Neural Network Approach for Traffic Accident Forecasting Author: Supervisor: Rodrigo de Medrano José Luis Aznarte López Mellado, PhD A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MSc. Advanced Methods in Artificial Intelligence in the Departament of Artificial Intelligence September 13, 2019 ii UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE EDUCACIÓN A DISTANCIA Abstract ETS de Ingeniería Informática Departament of Artificial Intelligence MSc. Advanced Methods in Artificial Intelligence A New Spatio-Temporal Neural Network Approach for Traffic Accident Forecasting by Rodrigo de Medrano López Traffic accidents forecasting represents a major priority for traffic govern- mental organisms around the world to ensure a decrease in life, property and economic losses. The increasing amounts of traffic accident data have been used to train machine learning predictors, although this is a challeng- ing task due to the relative rareness of accidents, inter-dependencies of traffic accidents both in time and space and high dependency on human behav- ior. Recently, deep learning techniques have shown significant prediction improvements over traditional models, but some difficulties and open ques- tions remain around their applicability, accuracy and ability to provide prac- tical information. This paper proposes a new spatio-temporal deep learning framework based on a latent model for simultaneously predicting the num- ber of traffic accidents in each neighborhood in Madrid, Spain, over varying training and prediction time horizons. iii Acknowledgements Cuando uno se embarca en la realización de un trabajo de este calibre, se puede tener por seguro que el camino no será fácil.

  • “Knowing Is Seeing”: the Digital Audio Workstation and the Visualization of Sound
    “KNOWING IS SEEING”: THE DIGITAL AUDIO WORKSTATION AND THE VISUALIZATION OF SOUND IAN MACCHIUSI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO September 2017 © Ian Macchiusi, 2017 ii Abstract The computer’s visual representation of sound has revolutionized the creation of music through the interface of the Digital Audio Workstation software (DAW). With the rise of DAW- based composition in popular music styles, many artists’ sole experience of musical creation is through the computer screen. I assert that the particular sonic visualizations of the DAW propagate certain assumptions about music, influencing aesthetics and adding new visually- based parameters to the creative process. I believe many of these new parameters are greatly indebted to the visual structures, interactional dictates and standardizations (such as the office metaphor depicted by operating systems such as Apple’s OS and Microsoft’s Windows) of the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Whether manipulating text, video or audio, a user’s interaction with the GUI is usually structured in the same manner—clicking on windows, icons and menus with a mouse-driven cursor. Focussing on the dialogs from the Reddit communities of Making hip-hop and EDM production, DAW user manuals, as well as interface design guidebooks, this dissertation will address the ways these visualizations and methods of working affect the workflow, composition style and musical conceptions of DAW-based producers. iii Dedication To Ba, Dadas and Mary, for all your love and support. iv Table of Contents Abstract ..................................................................................................................

La capital se ha caracterizado a lo largo de toda su historia por su compacidad y escasez de espacios abiertos. Durante siglos los únicos realmente significativos han estado ligados al patrimonio real: Campo del Moro y Jardines de Sabatini , Buen Retiro, Casa de Campo y Monte de El Pardo. Salvo el parque de El Retiro los demás tenían - y aún conservan en buena medida -una situación excéntrica en relación con la distribución de la población. La Casa de Campo ( 1722 Has) y el Pardo (900 Has. abiertas al uso público en el momento actual), se pueden considerar espacios forestales de carácter metropolitano o periurbano, pero difícilmente parques o zonas verdes urbanas de uso y disfrute cotidiano.
