- [Please Urgent] Featured Snippets1 After analyzing the trajectory and evolution of Google Search Engine, it is possible to establish different conclusions concerning the development of natural language processing, searches and the way in which the information needs are solved in the SERP environment. Voice search and virtual assistants have been a key factor in the development of natural language processing. Thanks to this development, Google is able to process queries in natural language so that clear, precise and direct answers are obtained through the featured snippets. These outstanding snippets are in continuous advance, expanding their functionalities and improving their answers with the aim of offering a better service to users. In addition, it is expected that Google Assistant and Google search unify their answers so that the virtual assistant meets all the current and future functions of the search engine. This union is due in large part to the increase in the number of voice searches that are gaining ground over those made in writing as they are incorporated into virtual assistants and mobile applications. The featured snippets have been divided into static and dynamic snippets according to the type of response offered. Static ones correspond to those that only include the requested data, such as the date of birth of an actor or a definition, while the dynamic ones allow interacting with the element that is shown, for example, the weather maps or the graphs of quotation. As a mixed typology we can consider those searches that include a list of links that will allow you to expand the information, such as the movie carousel or links to the awards received by a scientist. The featured snippets with specific data extracted from the micro data come mostly from articles from Wikipedia, or in the case of information related to companies, from those previously established in Google My Business (the registration is practically obligatory to make a business known, because it greatly facilitates the doubts of the users and helps to have visibility in the web).June 15, 201700
- [Please urgent] Abstract This work compares the featured snippets obtained in response to different searches on Google. The analysis has been done in Spanish language and using the search engine with the option of private window. First, we analyze the evolution of the search engine according to the new algorithms and innovations and show the difference between rich snippets and featured snippets, this last being the main object of study. Then, six search categories have been established on which various queries have been made, in natural language and with keywords, in order to know the difference of the results between both options, widely covering the possible information needs of users. Depending on the query, featured snippets can present a single data or a dynamic information that allows the user to know in detail the information required. Google is continually developing the algorithm for natural language processing through the analysis of voice searches through virtual assistants with the RankBrain algorithm, so the possibilities of searching and presenting information will increase gradually. The information provided by the featured snippets is extracted from highly structured web pages with microdata such as Wikipedia or the pages considered by the search engine as more relevant to solve an information problem.June 14, 201750
- Script? of my speech (3) All these factors generate consequences, and they are all chained together. Nitrate concentration and eutrophication provoke algae proliferation. This accumulation of algae makes green water and mud soil. Because there is more algae, there is more food for the fish, so now there is a gilt-head bream overproduction. Finally, this is an ecological imbalance that destroys the autochthonous biodiversity. Mainly the state of the water for the bathroom is what has caused the decline of tourism and the concern of governments. To end, the most important solution is the zero spill, that is the sealing of the brine discharge pipes, drive the drainage waters of the Rambla del Albujón to the Desalination plant located in Cabo de Palos, the Development of green filters to allow the creation of an artificial wetland and the Construction of storm tanks for the disposal of urban runoff discharges. And out of the zero spill, there are many boats so should be limited the mooring points and motor boat access.December 4, 201650
- Script? of my speech (2) If I talk about all the biodiversity that lives in Mar Menor, we could stay here for two or three days, but we are not biologists and we haven’t got time. Doing a quick review, the most important animals are gilt-head bream, mullets, prawns, jellyfish and seahorses. This last is in danger of extinction because tourist catch (or sell) them as souvenirs. In wetlands and sand areas the birds find a place to stop on their migratory route, a breeding place or a place to live permanently, for example the most common are flamingos in Salinas of San Pedro, seagulls and herons. In order to plants, here are is composed of salt cedar, European fan palm, gum rockrose, salicornias, sand lily and reeds, among others. Here we can see some of them. These natural spaces are of vital importance and are protected. Salinas and Arenales of San Pedro del Pinatar and Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA) (ZEPA) are protected space. There is some nature park as this that you can read here. At last, we have to remark seaweed (there are about 80 varieties) and marine plants, such as oceanic posidonia. It is very important, as well they filter important amounts of suspended substances in the water, generating a purification and cleaning effect of the lake. Briefs, Mar Menor is a fundamental place to the economics in Region of Murcia. Tourists look for sun, beach, relax and also water sports. Tourism is classified in two categories: people staying in tourist establishments (20%) and tourist with second residence (80%). To exemplify this relevance, the four municipalities pointed before have 50% of the hotels in the region, almost 65% of the camping and the 83% of the apartments of the total amount in each category. Now, we are going to the main point of the speech. In natural terms, the most important causes of the environmental problem are the climate change and the degradation of the surrounding wetlands, which filter the lagoon. About the climate change, last winter had one of the warmest temperatures in the last years, so the sea can not regenerate properly. Manmade disaster is the principal problem. For example, the accumulation of organic waste of intensive agriculture in the area, the increase in aquaculture, the elimination of jellyfish to please the bathers.December 1, 201620
- An abstract Mar Menor is a natural zone unique in the world, but unfortunately it is diminishing by the great amount of pollution accumulated in the last years. Over the years, many organizations have unsuccessfully reflected their concern about the state of the lagoon. In recent months the situation has suddenly worsened respect to previous years, it is no longer possible to ignore it. The Mar Menor is a fundamental natural space for Region of Murcia, as much for the great biodiversity that lives here, as for being motor tourism of the zone. The causes of this environmental disaster are mainly pollution, produced by the intensive agriculture practiced in the area, which pours its waste into the sea. Among the problems facing today is the turbidity and greenery of water, proliferation of algae, soil cover, ecological imbalance, and all that, the decline of tourism. Given the fall of tourism and the inevitable situation, proposals have been put in place for possible solutions for regeneration of the natural space. Although undoubtedly, the deterioration that has been suffering for years will not be fixed in a few months.November 26, 201620
- Script? of my speech (1) Good evening, my classmates and teacher. I'd like to start by introducing myself, my name is Carmen Marín. The subject of my presentation is the Mar Menor, his importance and recent environmental problems. Have you ever been there? When I was a child, parents always took their sons and daughter to this beaches, because of warm and calm water, it was perfect and safe, we enjoyed so much in that place. Why am I speaking in past? Because the situation has changed radically. I have chosen to speak about this because I’m from San Javier, next to the sea, this year’s media is very present the contamination of the Mar Menor and is a topic of habitual conversation in the Region. I have divided my presentation into 4 parts. In the first part I give brief information about the place, in the next section I will explain the importance of the Mar Menor as a tourist point of the region and his biodiversity. In part three, I am going to show the causes and consequences that provoke their current state. Finally, I’m going to comment the possible solutions that are proposed to solve this environmental catastrophe. Now let us turn to point one. Well, first of all, I know that all of you knows where is Mar Menor situated, but let me do a little presentation. Mar Menor is in the southeast of the region, and is surrounded by San Javier, San Pedro del Pinatar, Cartagena, Los Alcázares. About his dimensions, the most important is that it has 135 km2, 73 km of coast and an average depth of 4m. Its average temperature is 15º, being able to reach 30º in the hottest days of the summer. Now, I’m going to talk about its economic and ecological importance.November 24, 201620
- Recomending a book. As my classmates are recommending some books and authors, I am going to suggest a book that I read this summer that I really liked. It's "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline. It is a novel about a not very distant future (2044) in which everything is done through a virtual reality machine, even to go to class. This world is an RPG-style videogame, with magic, weapons, credits and fantastic beasts. After the death of one of the creators of the world begins the "Halliday egg hunt", and whoever solves this great challenge will gain unlimited wealth and total control over the game. "Gunters" are players dedicated professionally to the pursuit of the egg, because the richness in the game is fame and money in real life, however it will be years before the first key is deciphered. This book includes many, many, many references to the popular culture of the 80's, because they are the keys and clues that the main character will have to study to win the game. When I finished reading it I wanted to start it again as much as I liked it, it is very interesting and addictive, and although there are many references I did not know. The next time I read the book I will go looking for them, at least the most important ones. They are about music, movies, video games and books, so I can understand the 100% of the story and deductions of the characters.November 13, 201641
- About scientific genres I agree with what my colleagues have contributed on scientific genres. About my relationship with them in the future, I do not have it very clear yet, it will be present in my professional life for sure, but I do not know if I will make any contribution by researching or writing. Currently we live Information and Knowledge Society. Now large amount of information is being available to anyone immediately. However, not everything is true, you can offer manipulated, subjective and even false information, so when it comes to looking for information you have to know how to select, consult reliable sources and contrast the results. One should not rely on anything, a lie written or repeated many times does not become true.November 13, 201620
- My speech (please, urgent) My issue is the current situation of Mar Menor, this year pollution levels have been alarming. This summer has been the most common topic of conversation among neighbors and tourists, also the media has given much importance to this disaster. In my speech I will make a brief introduction to Mar Menor, the importance as a natural area and as a tourist attraction. Then, I analyze the causes that have caused pollution, the consequences it is having (for the ecosystem, for the economy, tourism, etc.) and finally, the proposed solutions to halt the deterioration and enable future regeneration.November 6, 201620
- About creativity and future I have never considered myself a creative person, but when I was a child, people around me always consider that I was a very inventive and original girl. I spent my childhood drawing whatever I thought until when I was six, then my parents bought our first computer. I completely changed crayons to computer, and I have to admit that now I regret this because my drawing skills are not as good as if I had continued to practice. Nevertheless, this showed me hundreds of possibilities, computer became a hobby which wasn’t hard to me to use, I soon got over my parents. I investigated by myself and since then my interest has not stopped increasing. Until I entered into the university, I never had sure what should I do with my life. My university offers a wide range of degrees, although when I raised the possibility of studying computer science it was too late. In high school I chose social science branch, so I could not select that degree in university because I didn’t have a basic knowledgement about the technological and scientific subjects that I should have acquired at bachelor’s degree. Finally I found Degree of Information and Documentation, and I do not regret choosing these. Over the years, I have learnt many different and interesting things, for example from classic issues related to libraries and archives such us how to catalog and organize a collection of documents or how to repair a damaged book, to more computer issues, like create databases to maintaining a scientific blog. This last point was what I needed to convince me that I want to become an expert in content management and web design. This is why I am writing this personal statement. I'm very persistent and hard-working, moreover, when I want something I do not stop until I get it. For instance, a few years ago I wanted to learn to read Korean characters and his pronunciation, and with effort I got it in a week. Taking the opportunity to go to London for this master, I’m planning to look forward an Academy to learn more about this language, because I’m very interested into Asian culture.October 21, 201620
