In the first chapter, the objectives to be achieved at the end of the next integration work are defined, and a systematic search of the literature is also carried out to define the state of the art on the integration of IoT devices within clinical laboratories. This&...

The Gustavo Orcés V. Natural History Museum has stood out as a reference space for scientific knowledge and environmental awareness. However, the need to implement new strategies was identified to achieve greater interaction and understanding by visitors, especially in relation to the i...

This work focuses on natural language processing (NLP) tasks, specifically addressing the processing and alignment of a parallel corpus by identifying the necessary tags for applications in the development of a supervised model for detecting spelling errors obtained through an OCT tool. ...

Hand Gesture Recognition (HGR) using Electromyography (EMG) signals is a crucial component of Human-Computer Interaction, enabling natural communication between humans and technology in various applications such as prosthetics, robotics, and rehabilitation devices. While supervised learning techniques like Conv...

During the events triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, many educational institutions worldwide had to shift their in-person activities to a different form of education known as "virtual education." Virtual education or e-learning emerged in the 1990s as a mechanism to support distan...

Blockchain is one of the most revolutionary new technologies for its decentralized and secure approach to record and verify transactions, its main application is cryptocurrencies, but in recent years the use of this technology has expanded to different fields of application. Blockchain ...

Hand gesture recognition (HGR) is an important application of human-computer interaction (HCI) using electromyographic (EMG) signals and deep learning techniques. In the present work, two HGR models for general users are developed using the Deep Q-Network (DQN) reinforcement learning algorithm an...

The reinterpretation of the pressure increase tests implemented throughout the productive life of the U sandstone from the Sacha field was carried out, and from the results of the reinterpretation a relationship was obtained between the behavior of pressure as a function of product...

This study responds to the growing need for automation in the manufacturing industry, proposing an efficient solution for the implementation of robotic arms. Recognizing the potential high costs associated, the importance of autonomous robot programming is highlighted, especially using an open&#x...

A correlational study is presented, applied to the SEDEMI company, about the improvement of productivity taking the distribution of facilities as an independent variable, that is, productivity can increase or decrease depending on the location of the work centers in the plant. This ...

The purpose of this research is to show the Post Covid-19 impact on SMEs in the food sector in the province of Pichincha, for which a study was carried out on 10 companies including microbusinesses, small businesses and medium-sized businesses located in Quito, Machachi and&#x...

At the heart of rural communities lies entrepreneurial potential, the study and strengthening of which not only boost the local economy, but also fuel the sustainable growth and resilience of an entire social fabric. The objective of the integration work was to propose a plan&...

The objective of the research work presented below is to analyze productivity and quality before and after the COVID-19 pandemic in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the construction sector in the province of Pichincha. The methodology consisted of obtaining historical data f...

The current environmental problems generated by the large volumes of solid wastes caused by the use of petroleum-derived plastics, greenhouse gases and contamination of water sources due to leachates resulting from poor management of lignocellulosic agro-industrial wastes raises a challenge in&#x...

Ecuador, with its tropical climate conditions, offers an ideal environment for avocado cultivation. However, a significant amount of avocados are discarded because they don’t meet the necessary conditions for commercialization. These discarded avocados are often utilized as organic fertilizer or ...

On path toward energy matrix transitioning, it becomes imperative to comprehensively explore the effects and implications of integrating renewable energies into the electrical power system (SEP). While hydroelectricity currently dominates the electricity generation in Ecuador, there is a notice...

In this research the petrographic characterisation of the outcrops of the Plan del Oso Unit, located in southeastern Ecuador, in the province of Zamora Chinchipe, was conducted. For this purpose, field trips, samples descriptions, thin sections and X-ray diffraction were conduct...

This study analyzes a complex of Quaternary rhyolitic domes in the Central Interandean Valley of Ecuador. Fieldwork, petrographic and geochemical analysis, Ar-Ar dating, and cartography were used to understand their origin and relationship to regional tectonics. The results reveal that the d...

The Quilotoa volcano is a potentially active volcano located in central Ecuador, which has experienced at least eight eruptions of moderate to large size (VEI 4-6) every 10-15 thousand years. Despite its high explosivity and recurrence of eruptions, this volcano lacks a detailed de...
