Statistics of Spain's colonial trade, 1747-1820: new estimates and comparisons with Great Britain

Una estimación de la balanza por cuenta corriente de España con sus «Indias» abre nuevas perspectivas al debate sobre los objetivos y resultados de la política comercial española. En pleno apogeo del «comercio libre» en 1784-92, los intereses privados españoles parecen haber extraído mayores flujos financieros del imperio americano que sus homólogos británicos, sobre la base estos últimos de una empresa colonial más amplia. En éste como en otros aspectos, en vísperas de la guerra con Francia el Imperio español parece haber logrado una mayor viabilidad económica de lo que pudiera inferirse de apreciaciones recientes. El subsiguiente colapso del imperio pudo haber obedecido a circunstancias geográficas y dinásticas en mayor medida de lo que pudiera pensarse.New estimates of Spain’s current-account balance with the «Indies» add new perspectives to the recent debate on the aims and results of Spanish commercial policy. At the height of «comercio libre» in 1784-92, Spain’s private commercial interests appear to have drawn larger financial returns from the Indies than did their British counterparts from wider colonial engagement. On this as on other scores, by the eve of the French wars the Spanish empire appears to have become a sounder economic proposition than might be inferred from recent pessimistic views. The empire’s subsequent demise may have involved a greater degree of geographical and dynastic accident than is seemingly apparent.Publicad

India's contribution to the British balance of payments, 1757-1812

The East India Company's "regulated" trade monopoly more effectively served Britain's national interest during the French wars than might be inferred from contemporary complaints and recent scholarship. The Board of Control's assessment of India's importance to the British balance of payments in the 1780s was well informed and was borne out by subsequent developments. British net inflows from India remained substantial through 1765-1812 and were arguably least dispensable. British trade with Asia most frequently outgrew the worldwide totals and retained some of the acquired gains to the end of the period. The real constraints faced by private traders should be weighed against the external economies and scale advantages rendered by the East India Company to a wider range of British interests

Simulation and reconstruction algorithms for a commercial muon tomography system

Muon tomography has become a great imaging technique and nowadays is applied in several research fields. It is used to produce images of nuclear reactors, to determine the volcanic activity or even to search secret chambers inside Egypt's pyramids. The improvement in security on the borders against illegal traffic of radioactive materials has become a homeland security priority. This has motivated that many countries are interested on the development of new technologies that allow, with a high level of confidence, the detection of that kind of substances. The goal of this thesis is to develop the simulation software, the mathematical algorithms, and the analysis tools needed to construct a scanner based on the RPC detector technology. This system is based on the cosmic muon tomography to produce images of heavy materials inside containers

Un ideólogo olvidado: el joven José Antonio Maravall y la defensa del Estado Nacionalsindicalista. Su colaboración en Arriba, órgano oficial de FET y de las JONS. 1939-1941

Remembered as a liberal man, brilliant pioneer in investigation of the social history of mentalities, José Antonio Maravall was, nevertheless, one of the main teachers and moving forces of the post war falangism. This is to say, of the Falangist project supported by the power of Ramón Serrano Súñer as the brother in law of Francisco Franco and as the Minister of Government and Overseas Affairs. A project which Maravall himself identifed with the European totalitarian movement represented, essentially, by Nazi Germany and which he defended as the best option for social and political reconstruction of the Spain resulting from the civil war
