The Research Group on Academic and Professional English at the Universitat Jaume I (GRAPE-UJI), led by professors Inmaculada Fortanet and Noelia Ruiz, is developing a computer tool to promote a paradigm shift in language teaching — in this case, English — that will make it possible to move from an exclusively linguistic approach to a global approach in which visual elements play as important a role as verbal elements.
The team has received funding from the UJI>LAB IMPULS call with a project led by Edgar Bernad that will help accelerate the software development of GRAPE-MARS (Multimodal Analysis Research Software). The first prototype, already in operation and tested by a large number of researchers at international level, was created in a previous project with the participation of Noelia Ruiz, Inmaculada Fortanet, Edgar Bernad and Julia Valeiras. The current project aims to improve the programme and commercialise it in relevant contexts such as research, education and business.
A new recipe for metal feedstock, combined with a "movie-mode" X-ray analysis, creates parts that are 70% stronger than current standards.
Tracking land cover over long time periods is essential for understanding climate, ecosystems, and human development, yet many annual maps are inconsistent from year to year.
Earth’s magnetic field acts as a vital shield against radiation arriving from space, but it is not constant. A new international study has examined how a reduction of the magnetic field similar to the Laschamps excursion would affect aviation on routes such as Helsinki–Dubai and Helsinki–New York if it occurred today.
