A 14-year dataset of in situ glacier surface velocities for a tidewater and a land-terminating glacier in Livingston Island, Antarctica
(Earth System Science Data, 10/2017)We present a 14-year record of in situ glacier surface velocities determined by repeated global navigation satellite system (GNSS) measurements in a dense network of 52 stakes distributed across two glaciers, Johnsons ... -
A biparametric extension of King’s fourth-order methods and their dynamics
(Applied Mathematics and Computation, 05/2016)A class of two-point quartic-order simple-zero finders and their dynamics are investigated in this paper by extending King’s fourth-order family of methods. With the introduction of an error corrector having a weight ... -
A cluster-analytic profiling of heroin-dependent patients based on level, clinical adequacy, and patient-desired adjustment of buprenorphine dosage during buprenorphine-naloxone maintenance treatment in sixteen Spanish centers
(Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 2018)Background: Buprenorphine dosage is a crucial factor influencing outcomes of buprenorphine treatment for heroin use disorders. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to identify naturally occurring profiles of ... -
A consensus support model based on linguistic information for the initial-self assessment of the EFQM in health care organizations
(Expert Systems with Applications, 06/2013)The improvement of the quality of the services is one of the primary sources of competitive advantage in health care organizations. As customers typically search for higher quality of care when choosing treatments, health ... -
A crusade over the airwaves: the Blue Division on Radio Nacional de España (1941–1954)
(Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, 2017)The Blue Division, Spain’s most notable military contribution to the Second World War, has been examined from many different perspectives, though the role of communication has not featured among them. This study aims to ... -
A design process for balanced educational video games with collaborative activities
(Dyna, 2015)The efficiency of educational video games could be improved through the use of a specific development method that allows them to keep both their educational and recreational goals and maintains their playability. Accordingly, ... -
A first overview on the real dynamics of Chebyshev's method
(Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 07/2017)In this paper we explore some properties of the well known root-finding Chebyshev’s method applied to polynomials defined on the real field. In particular we are interested in showing the existence of extraneous fixed ... -
A Gap in Networked Publics? A Comparison of Younger and Older Journalists' Newsgathering Practices on Social Media
(Nordicom Review, 15/05/2018)Several recent studies have examined how professional journalists use social media at work. However, we know little about the differences between younger and older journalists' use of social media for newsgathering. We ... -
A model of the role of error detection and self-regulation in academic performance
(The Journal of Educational Research, 2017)The authors' aim was to determine the extent to which error detection contributes to the explanation of a cognitive and motivational model of student performance in an assessment test. A total of 151 science students of ... -
A model-driven approach to generate and deploy videogames on multiple platforms
(Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing, 06/2017)Currently, videogame development for mobile devices is a highly profitable and competitive industry worldwide. This profitability can be ascribed to the popularity that new technologies such as smartphones and tablets have ... -
A new fourth-order family for solving nonlinear problems and its dynamics
(Journal of Mathematical Chemistry, 03/2015)In this manuscript, a new parametric class of iterative methods for solving nonlinear systems of equations is proposed. Its fourth-order of convergence is proved and a dynamical analysis on low-degree polynomials is made ... -
A new tool to study real dynamics: The convergence plane
(Applied Mathematics and Computation, 12/2014)In this paper, the author presents a graphical tool that allows to study the real dynamics of iterative methods whose iterations depends on one parameter in an easy and compact way. This tool gives the information as ... -
A personal knowledge management metamodel based on semantic analysis and social information
(Soft Computing, 03/2018)This article describes the development of a functional architecture for personal knowledge management (PKM), defined from the lessons-learnt concept registered in a mass-use social network analyzed with an algorithm of ... -
A pragmatic approach to managing enterprise IT infrastructures in the era of consumerization and individualization of IT
(International Journal of Information Management, 12/2017)Historically, organizations owned and controlled the information technologies (IT) their employees used: telephone, inter-office memos, mainframes and timesharing systems. Today, employees often want to use their own IT: ... -
A school-based physical activity promotion intervention in children: rationale and study protocol for the PREVIENE Project
(BMC Public Health, 09/2017)Background The lack of physical activity and increasing time spent in sedentary behaviours during childhood place importance on developing low cost, easy-toimplement school-based interventions to increase physical activity ... -
A study of 16 years old student learning strategies from a neuropsychological perspective: An intervention proposal
(Trends in Neuroscience and Education, 06/2018)Scientific achievements related to brain processes provide innovation and improvements in students' learning. The aim of this study was to analyse, relate, and compare learning strategies and academic performance of students ... -
A study on the local convergence and the dynamics of Chebyshev–Halley–type methods free from second derivative
(Numerical Algorithms, 01/2016)We study the local convergence of Chebyshev-Halley-type methods of convergence order at least five to approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation. Earlier studies such as Behl (2013), Bruns and Bailey ... -
A Synthetic Indicator of Progress Towards the Millennium Development Goals 2, 3 and 4 in the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) of Asia
(Applied Research in Quality of Life, 03/2018)The aim of this article is to measure progress towards the United Nations’ (UN’s) Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2, 3 and 4 in Asia’s least developed countries (LDCs) by studying a group of countries that suffer ... -
A unified convergence analysis for secant-type methods
(Journal of the Korean Mathematical Society, 11/2014)We present a unified local and semilocal convergence analysis for secant-type methods in order to approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space setting. Our analysis includes he computation ... -
