Executive Summary: The determining factors of global changes are: the decline of biodiversity, changes in atmospheric composition, changes in land cover and changes in climate. Of these factors, the last two are the most important in Andean basins, since they can trigger hydroclimatic extremes and cause […]
Executive Summary: The Spatial Data Infrastructure of the University of Cuenca is a project that has been maturing since 2008 and that has allowed many other functionalities to be explored around it. Thus, as a result of several investigations, they have achieved products such as the IDE Red CEDIA , the GT-IDE, LaVCiTE, OntoRisk, among others, where the
Executive Summary: Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a global public health problem. NCDs, including obesity, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, cancer, share characteristics in relation to changes in the intestinal microbiota associated with an increase in the permeability of the intestinal epithelium. Within this context, short chain fatty acids (SCFAs)
Executive Summary: Long-term goal In the long term, it is planned to have: (1) A consolidated research group in modeling and simulation, (2) Supported by high-performance computing tools, (3) that serve as a basis to generate educational processes and dissemination of knowledge in the line of granular micro-mechanics with a view to generating capacity
Executive Summary: The changes in coverage and the increase in land use, in addition to the degradation of ecosystems, have promoted the National System of Protected Areas (SNAP), to increase the care and conservation of endemic or biodiversity areas through the use of monitoring tools. One of the main tools used to
Executive Summary: Technological development and industrialization have brought with them secondary effects that little by little have been damaging the atmosphere, whose importance is vital for the survival of all living beings and climate balance. Countless reports from both governmental and non-governmental organizations, at different levels, have highlighted the need to develop

Executive Summary: This project contributes to the long-term goal of obtaining continuous data on the use of road infrastructure and public space. Municipalities carry out automated vehicle counts on avenues, but pedestrians and cyclists are not recorded. Open data approaches are also not used, so the information collected is not accessible
Video-classifier for mobility actors as an alternative to manual volumetric counts Read More »
