Los diez mayores grupos económicos de México y su impacto económico

En el presente trabajo se identifican y analizan los diez grupos económicos de mayor escala en México, la mayoría de los cuales operan en diversos subsectores de actividad económica. El objetivo del trabajo es precisar la influencia económica de estas grandes redes de negocios nacionales, destacando sus fundamentos teóricos. En el periodo 2007-2016 estos diez grupos tuvieron ventas equivalentes a un rango entre 11 y 15 por ciento del valor total del PIB nacional y en 2016 otorgaban más de un millón de empleos; sin embargo, su influencia sobre la economía mexicana no está exenta de efectos negativos

The impact of poor metabolic health on aggressive breast cancer: adipose tissue and tumor metabolism

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are chronic metabolic diseases that impact tens to hundreds of millions of adults, especially in developed countries. Each condition is associated with an elevated risk of breast cancer and with a poor prognosis after treatment. The mechanisms connecting poor metabolic health to breast cancer are numerous and include hyperinsulinemia, inflammation, excess nutrient availability, and adipose tissue dysfunction. Here, we focus on adipose tissue, highlighting important roles for both adipocytes and fibroblasts in breast cancer progression. One potentially important mediator of adipose tissue effects on breast cancer is the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) signaling network. Among the many roles of FGFR signaling, we postulate that key mechanisms driving aggressive breast cancer include epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and cellular metabolic reprogramming. We also pose existing questions that may help better understand breast cancer biology in people with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and poor metabolic health

Specification of Cooperative Access Points Functionalities version 2

The What to do With the Wi-Fi Wild West H2020 project (Wi-5) combines research and innovation to propose an architecture based on an integrated and coordinated set of smart Wi-Fi networking solutions. The resulting system will be able to efficiently reduce interference between neighbouring Access Points (APs) and provide optimised connectivity for new and emerging services. The project approach is expected to develop and incorporate a variety of different solutions, which will be made available through academic publications, in addition to other dissemination channels. This deliverable presents the specification of the second version of the Cooperative AP Functionalities that are being designed in the context of Work Package (WP) 4 of the Wi-5 project. Specifically, we present a general cooperative framework that includes functionalities for a Radio Resource Management (RRM) algorithm, which provides channel assignment and transmit power adjustment strategies, an AP selection policy, and a solution for vertical handover. The RRM achieves an important improvement for network performance in terms of several parameters through the channel assignment approach, that can be further improved by including the transmit power adjustment. The AP selection solution extends the approach presented in deliverable D4.1 based on the Fittingness Factor (FF) concept, which is a parameter for efficiently matching the suitability of the available spectrum resource to the application requirements. Moreover, the preliminary details, which will allow us to extend AP selection towards vertical handover functionality including 3G/4G networks, are also presented. The assessment of the algorithms proposed in this deliverable is illustrated through the analysis of several performance results in a simulated environment against other strategies found in the literature. Finally, a set of monitoring capabilities implemented on the Wi-5 APs and on the Wi-5 controller are illustrated. These capabilities will enable the correct deployment of the cooperative APs functionalities proposed in this deliverable in realistic scenarios

THE GENUS HYPOGLOSSUM KÜTZING (DELESSERIACEAE, RHODOPHYTA) IN THE TROPICAL WESTERN ATLANTIC, INCLUDING H. ANOMALUM SP. NOV. 1

Observations are made on the occurrence and distribution of the red algal genus Hypoglossum KÜtzing (Delesseriaceae, Ceramiales) in the tropical western Atlantic. In addition to the type of the genus, H. hypoglossoides (Stackh.) Coll. & Herv., three other species are reported: H. anomalum sp. nov., H. involvens (Harv.) J. Ag., and H. tenuifolium (Harv.) J. Ag. A key is presented to distinguish these four species. The newly described species, H. anomalum, is like other species in the genus in that its branches arise endogenously from the primary axial row but it is unique in that the branches emerge from the parent blade at some point between the midline and the margin of the blade. The new species is reported from Puerto Rico and Florida.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/65648/1/j.1529-8817.1986.tb04162.x.pd

Wi-5: A Programming Architecture for Unlicensed Frequency Bands

We present Wi-5, a spectrum programming architecture for radio resource management in unlicensed frequency bands. It introduces a spectrum control plane that offers fine grained allocation of radio resources, flexible configuration of radio and wireless networking parameters, and continuous monitoring of the wireless network status. These features, along with the centralized nature of this architecture, can effectively address spectrum congestion which often occurs in unlicensed frequency bands. To demonstrate Wi-5’s capabilities, we show results obtained from emulating various use case scenarios on our open source proof-of-concept
