Abstract
It is extremely difficult to reduce the relations between the several body parts that perform human motion to a simplified set of features. Therefore, the study of the upper-limb functionality is still in development, partly due to the wider range of actions and strategies for motor execution. This, in turn, leads to inconsistent upper-limb movement parameterization. We propose a methodology to assess and quantify the upper-limb motor execution. Extracting key variables from different sources, we intended to quantify healthy upper-limb movement and use these parameters to quantify motor execution during rehabilitation after stroke. In order to do so, we designed an experimental setup defining a workspace for the execution of the action recording kinematic data. Results reveal an effect of object and instruction on the timing of upper-limb movement, indicating that the spatiotemporal analysis of kinematic data can be used as a quantification parameter for motor rehabilitation stages and methods.

Abstract
Here we present the first results from a MUSE/X-Shooter study of the jet from the classical T Tauri star TH 28. The combination of MUSE and X-Shooter enables us to take advantage of both spectro-imaging and broadband spectroscopy to comprehensively investigate the TH 28 jet. We present a MUSE spectro-image and PV plot of the Ha emission line and use flux ratios from the X-Shooter spectrum to estimate the mass accretion rate at log(?acc) = -9.4. Future work will focus on diagnostic analyses on both sets of data, including estimating the mass outflow rate (?out) and the extinction of the jet. © SAIt 2017.

Abstract
This paper describes a forgetting technique for the live update of viewer profiles based on individual sliding windows, fading and incremental matrix factorization. The individual sliding window maintains, for each viewer, a queue holding the last n viewer ratings. As new viewer events occur, they are inserted in the viewer queue, by shifting and fading the queue ratings, and the viewer latent model is faded. We explored time, rating-and-position and popularity-based fading techniques, using the latter as the base fading algorithm. This approach attempts to address the problem of dynamic viewer profile updating (volatile preferences) as well as the problem of bounded processing resources (fixed size queues). The results show that our approach outperforms previous approaches, improving the quality of the predictions.

Abstract
The increasing penetration of Intermittent Generation (IG) is being accompanied by the revision of the needs of traditional regulation reserves, as well as the discussion of new flexibility products for system balancing. In the context of electricity generation models, it is of high relevance to adequately represent, not only the energy, but also the reserve dispatch constraints, by providing the models with the expected secondary reserve requirements (SRR), so as to output more realistic energy and reserve schedules and prices. This paper analyses the SRR published by the Spanish System Operator and uses several forecasting tools for determining its main explanatory variables. Results confirm that the SRR have remained almost constant during the years of significant IG growth (and even slightly decreasing in the most recent years), and that the best SRR estimation models found use the demand and its inter-hour variations as the main explanatory variables, but not wind productions as could be expected. © 2017 IEEE.

Abstract
This paper proposes a new model to allocate reserve costs among the involved players, considering the characteristics of the several entities, and the particular circumstances at each moment. The proposed model is integrated in the Multi-Agent Simulator of Competitive Electricity Markets (MASCEM), which enables complementing the multi-agent simulation of diverse electricity market models, by including the joint simulation of energy and reserve markets. In this context, the proposed model allows allocating the payment of reserve costs that result from the reserve market. A simulation based on real data from the Iberian electricity market - MIBEL, is presented. Simulation results show the advantages of the proposed model in sharing the reserve costs fairly and accordingly to the different circumstances. This work thus contributes the study of novel market models towards the evolution of power and energy systems by adapting current models to the new paradigm of high penetration of renewable energy generation. © 2017 IEEE.
