Intertextualidad entre el folclore andaluz, "Dedicatoria" y otras obras de Federico Moreno Torroba

La inspiración en el folclore ha sido una constante en la historia de la música. Dedicatoria de Federico Moreno Torroba da pie a descubrir las relaciones intertextuales con el folclore andaluz, otras obras suyas y de otros compositores. Dedicatoria sirve de ejemplo para compararla con otras obras similares que se inspiran en el folclore y que sirven para relacionarlas intertextualmente en el uso del folclore como inspiración, el tratamiento formal y armónico. Contextualizada esta obra dentro del nacionalismo español, se analizan los principios estéticos e ideológicos del compositor en su manifiesto sobre Casticismo influido principalmente por Unamuno. Se estudia como el compositor sigue la línea compositiva trazada por Pedrell y sus discípulos con Falla a la cabeza utilizando armonías, formas, ritmos y colores modales como el frigio en sus composiciones, integrándose dentro del estilo nacionalista.  La identificación de los procedimientos intertextuales se han basado básicamente en lo aportado por M. L. Klein, identificándose relaciones intertextuales que son básicamente citas, alusiones, como intertextualidad poiética, influencia y otros procedimientos con el folclore, con obras propias para guitarra y zarzuelas, con obras de otros compositores y con Falla

ASSET MARKETS AND EQUILIBRIUM SELECTION IN PUBLIC GOODS GAMES WITH PROVISION POINTS: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY

In this paper we report some experimental results on the effects that auctioning the right to play a public goods game with a provision point may have on equilibrium selection and efficiency. A control treatment reveals that, as in the experimental literature for similar environments, subjects' behavior converges to the inefficient outcome whenever they are endowed with the right to play the game. However, auctioning off such a right among a larger population of players has a significant efficiency-enhancing effect. Once the Pareto-dominant equilibrium in the second stage is reached, the auction price at the first stage increases to its upper limit, dissipating all players' gains associated with the provision of the public good. The full contribution equilibrium was extremely robust: individual subjects' deviations from the equilibrium strategy were not able to force lower market prices and did not affect provision of the public good in subsequent periods.Public Goods; Provision Points; Experimental Markets.

La embajada de Jerónimo Monsoriu (1650) y la defensa del Reino de Valencia durante la Revolta Catalana

El 1650, durant la guerra de Catalunya, el Regne de València va enviar Jeroni Monsoriu per aconseguir de Felip IV una major contribució de la corona en la defensa del regne. En aquest article s’exposen els problemes relatius a la frontera amb Catalunya i les negociacions que es van portar a terme dins la cort. Al voltant d’aquest assumpte s’observen dos temes principals: la falta de diners i efectius i la necessitat d’evitar per tots els mitjans possibles una rebel·lió.In 1650, during the war in Catalonia, Jerónimo Monsoriu was sent by the Kingdom of Valencia to obtain more help from Philip IV to defend the kingdom. On the one hand this paper exposes the problems related to the frontier and the negotiations that Monsoriu made in the court. Around this topic we can see two important things: the need for money and soldiers and the necessity to avoid a rebellion.En 1650, en medio de la guerra de Cataluña, Jerónimo Monsoriu fue enviado por el Reino de Valencia para conseguir de Felipe IV una mayor colaboración de la corona en la defensa del reino. En el presente artículo se exponen los problemas tocantes a la frontera con Cataluña y las negociaciones llevadas a cabo en la corte. En torno a este asunto se observan dos temas principales: la falta de dinero y efectivos y la necesidad de evitar a toda costa una rebelión

Tendencia en la utilización de antiagregantes en la Comunidad Valenciana (2000-2005)

Beatriz Román Llamosí, Rocío Broseta Solaz, Joan Quiles Izquierdo y Amalia Úbeda Pascual ([email protected])Los antiagregantes plaquetarios son fármacos básicos para la prevención de enfermedades isquémicas arteriales. El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer la evolución de su utilización en Atención Primaria en la Comunidad Valenciana durante el periodo 2000-2005. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo del consumo de los antiagregantes plaquetarios (código ATC: B01AC) dispensados con cargo al Sistema Nacional de Salud en la Comunidad Valenciana en el ámbito de Atención Primaria. Datos expresados en dosis diarias definidas (DDD) por 1.000 habitantes y día. Resultados: En 2005 tres fármacos representaron el 98% de la prescripción global (ácido acetilsalicílico (AAS) 66%, clopidogrel 23% y triflusal 9%). El consumo de antiagregantes orales se incrementó en un 23% entre 2000 y 2005 (desde 29,6 DDD/1.000 hab y día hasta 36,5). El clopidogrel mostró un incremento del 218%, mientras que el ácido acetilsalicílico fue el principio de mayor consumo con una cuota de utilización bastante estable durante todo el periodo (próxima al 70%). El gasto generado por este grupo de fármacos se duplicó, el clopidogrel fue el fármaco con mayor coste/DDD (2,14t), en 2005 su utilización constituyó un 23% del total de antiagregantes pero su gasto representó el 76% del total. Conclusiones: En este periodo se incrementó el consumo de antiagregantes en la Comunidad Valenciana. El AAS mantuvo estable su utilización, mientras que el clopidogrel aumentó su cuota de mercado pese a las recomendaciones de las guías terapéuticas y las restricciones para su uso. El consumo del clopidogrel contribuyó de forma notable al gasto farmacéutico de este grupo.Background: Platelet antiaggregants are basic drugs for preventing ischemic arterial diseases. This study is aimed at ascertaining the trend in their use in Primary Care in the Autonomous Community of Valencia during the 2000-2005 period. Methods: Descriptive study of the use of platelet antiaggregants (ATC code: B01AC) dispensed charged to the National Health System in the Autonomous Community of Valencia in Primary Care. Data given in defined daily doses (DDD) per 1,000 inhabitants per day. Results: In 2005, three drugs totalled 98% of all those prescribed overall (acetyl salicylicacid (ASA) 66%, clopidogrel 23% and triflusal 9%). Oral antiaggregant use rose by 23% within the 2000-2005 period (from 29.6 to 36.5 DDD/1,000 inhab./day). Clopidogrel showed a 218% increase, whilst ASA was the most used drug, with quite a stable percentage of use throughout said time period (nearing 70%). The expense generated by this group of drugs doubled, clopidogrel having been the highest-cost drug/DDD (2.14 EUROS), its use having totalled 23% of all antiaggregants yet the expense thereof having totalled 76% of the total expenditure. Conclusions: The use of antiaggregants increased in the Autonomous Community of Valencia during the time period under study. The utilization of ASA remained stable, whilst clopidogrel increased its market share despite the treatment guide recommendations and the restrictions on its use. The consumption of clopidogrel noticeably contributed to the drug spending for this group

The use of small angle neutron scattering with contrast matching and variable adsorbate partial pressures in the study of porosity in activated carbons

The porosity of a typical activated carbon is investigated with small angle neutron scattering (SANS), using the contrast matching technique, by changing the hydrogen/deuterium content of the absorbed liquid (toluene) to extract the carbon density at different scattering vector (Q) values and by measuring the p/p0 dependence of the SANS, using fully deuterated toluene. The contrast matching data shows that the apparent density is Q-dependent, either because of pores opening near the carbon surface during the activation processor or changes in D-toluene density in nanoscale pores. For each p/p0 value, evaluation of the Porod Invariant yields the fraction of empty pores. Hence, comparison with the adsorption isotherm shows that the fully dry powder undergoes densification when liquid is added. An algebraic function is developed to fit the SANS signal at each p/p0 value hence yielding the effective Kelvin radii of the liquid surfaces as a function of p/p0. These values, when compared with the Kelvin Equation, show that the resultant surface tension value is accurate for the larger pores but tends to increase for small (nanoscale) pores. The resultant pore size distribution is less model-dependent than for the traditional methods of analyzing the adsorption isotherms

Reactions at polymer interfaces: A Monte Carlo Simulation

Reactions at a strongly segregated interface of a symmetric binary polymer blend are investigated via Monte Carlo simulations. End functionalized homopolymers of different species interact at the interface instantaneously and irreversibly to form diblock copolymers. The simulations, in the framework of the bond fluctuation model, determine the time dependence of the copolymer production in the initial and intermediate time regime for small reactant concentration $\rho_0 R_g^3=0.163 ... 0.0406$. The results are compared to recent theories and simulation data of a simple reaction diffusion model. For the reactant concentration accessible in the simulation, no linear growth of the copolymer density is found in the initial regime, and a $\sqrt{t}$-law is observed in the intermediate stage.Comment: to appear in Macromolecule

METSTOR: A GIS to look for potential CO2 storage zones in France

International audienceThe METSTOR project offers a methodology to look for potentially interesting CO2 storage areas in France at the initial stage, before the "site selection" step. Our tool, embodied in a Geographic Information System, is based on an interactive map of CO2 storage capacities. Other relevant information layers are included. The geographic layers are complemented with a series of online technical notices. It seems to be the first open online GIS that offers policy makers, businesses and the public at large an integrated access to that necessary information. Our prototype, limited mainly to the Paris Basin, is released online at www.metstor.fr

Dispersion of imbibition fronts

We have studied the dispersive behaviour of imbibition fronts in a porous medium by X-ray tomography. Injection velocities were varied and the porous medium was initially prewetted or not. At low velocity in the prewetted medium, the imbibition profiles are found to be distinctly hyperdispersive. The profiles are anomalously extended when compared to tracer fronts exhibiting conventional (Gaussian) dispersion. We observe a strong velocity dependence of the exponent characterizing the divergence of the dispersion coefficient for low wetting-fluid saturation. Hyperdispersion is absent at high imbibition velocities or when the medium is not prewetted.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures; submitted to Europhysics Letter
