Cine y política de oposición en la producción estadounidense tras el 11-S

Los atentados terroristas del 11 de septiembre de 2001 provocaron, entre otras consecuencias, la agitación de la industria cinematográfica estadounidense y el desarrollo de una postura crítica respecto a las decisiones que la administración Bush ha adoptado como respuesta. El activismo ideológico protagonizado por los sectores más liberales de Hollywood se ha visto acompañado en los últimos años de un puñado de filmes que asumen una oposición militante a las tesis gubernamentales: el documental de denuncia, las ficciones políticas y la lectura que el cine bélico hace de la Guerra de Irak son los territorios más representativos de esa línea ideológica

Cinema and society: The construction of male and female characters in late francoism ‘landismo’ [Cine y Sociedad: La construcción de los personajes masculinos y femeninos en el ‘landismo’ tardofranquista]

Este trabajo parte de las relaciones existentes entre la teoría del cine y su dimensión sociológica para formular un análisis sobre el ‘landismo’, uno de los fenómenos con implicaciones sociales más relevantes en la historia del cine español. En concreto, se sintetizan las principales estrategias narrativas empleadas en un corpus de 19 largometrajes que construyen una imagen recurrente de la masculinidad y la feminidad a través de los personajes principales. Del estudio se concluye un rol contrapuesto de hombres y mujeres en las relaciones de pareja, lo cual no impide la consecución de la estabilidad afectiva y familiar.This work is based on the relationship between film theory and its sociological dimension, to formulate an analysis of ‘landismo’, one of the most important social phenomena in the history of Spanish cinema.

La creación de discurso ideológico en el cine popular del tardofranquismo (1966-1975): el ‘ciclo Paco Martínez Soria’

El cine popular de los últimos años del franquismo gozó de un importante éxito comercial gracias a películas que, bajo la apariencia de un entretenimiento sencillo, reflejaban y/o generaban una visión concreta sobre un momento histórico de cambio. La producción del período tardofranquista encontró un filón en algunos grupos de obras, entre los que destaca la decena de largometrajes protagonizados por el actor Paco Martínez Soria. Su filmografía admite una lectura en clave ideológica que se concreta en una defensa de la tradición frente a la novedad gracias a una figura patriarcal y benefactora que asegura la estabilidad de las comunidades a las que pertenece

Applications of CVD to Produce Thin Films for Solid‐State Devices

Thin films of Pt‐YSZ and Pd‐ZrO2 cermets by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) from metallorganic precursors (MOCVD) were evaluated as electrode in solid‐state devices. Morphology and structural characteristics were studied by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electronic microscopy (TEM). Electrochemical performance was determined using Tafel and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy methods. Metallorganic precursors were used (metal‐acetylacetonates), and argon and oxygen were used as the carrier and reactive gases, respectively. The particle average size was less than 20 nm, with high and uniform particle dispersion according to TEM measurements

Decoherence of Histories and Hydrodynamic Equations for a Linear Oscillator Chain

We investigate the decoherence of histories of local densities for linear oscillators models. It is shown that histories of local number, momentum and energy density are approximately decoherent, when coarse-grained over sufficiently large volumes. Decoherence arises directly from the proximity of these variables to exactly conserved quantities (which are exactly decoherent), and not from environmentally-induced decoherence. We discuss the approach to local equilibrium and the subsequent emergence of hydrodynamic equations for the local densities.Comment: 37 pages, RevTe

Microwave irradiation synthesis to obtain La0.7-xPrxCa0.3MnO3 perovskites : electrical and electrochemical performance

Atzin Ferrel is grateful for her grants from CONACYT and SIP- IPN. The authors also appreciate the financial support provided by the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología (CONACYT), México, Comisión de Operación y Fomento de Actividades Académicas del IPN (COFAA), México and Secretaría de Investigación y Posgrado (SIP) of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) México through the CB2015–252181, 20201278, 20201279, 20201280, 20202443 and 20200909 projects as well as the SNI-CONACyT.La0.7-xPrxCa0.3MnO3 (LPCM) perovskites previously synthesized by the microwave-assisted method at 4 min and with different stoichiometry (x = 0.35, 0.52 and 0.63) were evaluated through thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), electrical conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient (TEC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer- Emmet- Teller (BET) analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) using yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) as an electrolyte. The results are discussed in terms of the potential as cathode material to be applied in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) applications at temperatures from 600 to 800 °C. Results derived from TGA showed that Pr promotes the uncoupling oxygen and oxygen vacancies favoring the fuel combusting. Also, TEC analysis revealed adequate stability between the YSZ electrolyte and the La0.7-xPrxCa0.3MnO3 to avoid cracking or failing, especially with high amount of Pr. The transition in morphology from irregular to regular shapes improves the BET and Barret- Joyner- Halenda (BJH) surfaces and promotes the triple phase boundary (TPB) connectivity. The electrical conductivity correlated to the availability in oxygen vacancies showed maximum conductivities in the order of 10−2 S cm−1. Activation energy (Ea) was found to be reduced with a minimum quantity of Pr (0.071 eV). EIS results indicate that the oxygen vacancies in the LPCM/YSZ system were better promoted with the highest amount of Pr = 0.63 (η = 0.9 V, 800 °C and 0.06 V of amplitude) in comparison with the minimum, Pr = 0.35 (η = 1.2 V, 800 °C and 0.06 V of amplitude).PostprintPeer reviewe

Mean-field theory of Bose-Fermi mixtures in optical lattices

We determine the phase diagram of a mixture of ultracold bosons and polarized fermions placed in an optical lattice using mean field theory. In the limit of strong atom-atom interactions, there exist quantum phases that involve pairing of fermions with one or more bosons, or bosonic holes, respectively. We obtain the analytic form of the phase boundaries separating these composite fermion phases from the bosonic superfluid coexisting with Fermi liquid. We compare the results with numerical simulations and discuss their validity and relevance for current experiments.Comment: 4 pages, 2 eps figures, new section on experimental requirements and some technical details adde
