Ley de Solidaridad y Corresponsabilidad Ciudadana en Comerciantes de Muisne Afectados por el Terremoto de abril-2016

The objective of the present investigation was to analyze the benefits that the food merchants of Muisne canton had the right to, to under the Solidarity Law. The study had a non-experimental descriptive design that allowed the 37 food merchants of the isle to describe the effects they had due to the April 2016 earthquake and the aid received from different sources. Among the most relevant results were damage to the infrastructure of the places, reduction in sales, delay in the provision of products for marketing, little use of tax incentives and limitations in accessing financing sources. Among the most relevant conclusions can be indicated that the commercial objects of study accessed very few benefits of those offered by the Law of Solidarity and Citizen Co-Responsibility for the economic reactivation of the affected areas.El desarrollo de la presente investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar los beneficios a los que accedieron los comerciantes de víveres del cantón Muisne en virtud de la Ley Solidaria. El estudio tuvo un diseño no experimental de tipo descriptivo que permitió a los 37 comerciantes de víveres de la Isla describir las afectaciones que tuvieron a causa del sismo de abril de 2016 y las ayudas recibidas por diferentes fuentes. Entre los resultados más relevantes se encontraron daños en la infraestructura de los locales, reducción en las ventas, retraso en la provisión de los productos para su comercialización, poco aprovechamiento de los incentivos tributarios y limitaciones en el acceso a las fuentes de financiamiento. Entre las conclusiones más relevantes se puede indicar que los comerciales objetos de estudio accedieron a muy pocos beneficios de los que ofrecía la Ley de Solidaridad y de Corresponsabilidad Ciudadana para la Reconstrucción y Reactivación económica de las zonas afectadas

Poisson's Ratio and Young's Modulus of Lipid Bilayers in Different Phases

A general computational method is introduced to estimate the Poisson’s ratio for membranes with small thickness. In this method, the Poisson’s ratio is calculated by utilizing a rescaling of inter-particle distances in one lateral direction under periodic boundary conditions. As an example for the coarse grained lipid model introduced by Lenz and Schmid, we calculate the Poisson’s ratio in the gel, fluid, and interdigitated phases. Having the Poisson’s ratio, enable us to obtain the Young’s modulus for the membranes in different phases. The approach may be applied to other membranes such as graphene and tethered membranes in order to predict the temperature dependence of its Poisson’s ratio and Young’s modulus.BN/BionanoscienceApplied Science
