Structural modelling of medieval walls
International Seminar on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions (3º 2001 Guimaraens)Sistemas constructivos medievales a menudo involucrados la construcción de múltiples capas
paredes formadas por dos caras de sillería o mampostería con un relleno central que consiste en
escombros ligada con mortero, generalmente cal-basado. Se trata de una construcción simple y eficiente
sistema que se siguió utilizando en los siglos posteriores.
Sin embargo, el modelado estructural de este tipo de pared no es fácil de lograr. Los dos pared
caras no están vinculados rígidamente y, por otro lado, las bóvedas son normalmente compatibles sólo en el
la cara interna, lo que resulta en la eficiencia reducida de la unidad de pared. Modelos comunes de elementos finitos
no son capaces de resolver muchos de los problemas que surgen cuando se aplican a una monumental
construcción.
En este trabajo se aborda el problema y propone varias posibilidades de solución con diferentes
tipos de elementos .. También proporciona dos ejemplos de monumentos góticos en Galicia (España) en el que
comportamiento estructural se ha estudiado el uso de algunos de estos modelos de cálculo: las iglesias de Guimaraens y Cambados.[Abstract]Medieval construction systems usually involved the construction of multi-layer
walls formed by two faces of ashlar work or masonry with a central infilling consisting of
rubble bound with mortar, generally lime-based. It is a simple and efficient construction
system which continued to be used in subsequent centuries.
Nevertheless, structural modelling of this type of wall is not easy to achieve. The two wall
faces are not rigidly bound and on the other hand, vaults are normally supported only on the
intemal face, resulting in reduced efficiency of the wall unit. Common models of finite elements
are unable to solve many of the problems that arise when they are applied to a monumental
construction.
This paper tackles the problem and puts forward various possibilities of solution with different
element types.. It also provides two examples of Gothic monuments in Galicia (Spain) in which
structural behaviour was studied using some of these calculation models: the churches of
Guimarei and Cambados

Aprendizaje basado en problemas en Biología Vegetal
El aprendizaje basado en problemas (ABP) es un método de enseñanzaaprendizaje
que usa el problema como punto de partida para la adquisición e
integración de nuevos conocimientos. En el desarrollo del ABP el problema es el
camino para que los estudiantes alcancen los objetivos de conocimientos,
destrezas y habilidades. El ABP y el estudio de casos se centran en el estudiante
lo cual implica necesariamente un cambio de función en el profesor que deja de
ser protagonista para convertirse en una guía o en tutor. El tutor plantea
problemas y cuestiones que contribuyen al entendimiento y a la resolución de
problemas promoviendo de esta forma un aprendizaje significativo. Por otra
parte, las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación introducen
cambios importantes en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en base a lo
siguiente: a) el acceso a la información y el modo de adquirir información, b) las
nuevas formas de relación profesor-alumno. Este trabajo muestra algunas
experiencias para el desarrollo de ABP, el estudio de casos y la elaboración de
mapas conceptuales e infografías, experiencias realizadas en el aula con
estudiantes de Biología de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y en relación
con dos campos de la Biología: la Fisiología Vegetal y la Biología Evolutiva.The problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching-learning method that uses
the problem as a starting point for the acquisition and integration of new
knowledge. In the development of PBL the problem is the way to achieve the
knowledge, skills and abilities. Problem-based learning and case study focuses
on the student and therefore imply a change in the teacher role: from protagonist
to tutor or guide. A tutor offers questions that contribute to understanding and
managing the problem promoting meaningful learning. On the other hand,
information and communication technologies introduces important changes in
teaching and learning on the basis of two issues: a) access and how to acquire
information, b) new forms of teacher-student relationship. This work shows
some experiences for the development of PBL, case studies and concept mapping
as classroom experiences for Biological Sciences students at the Complutense
University of Madrid. Two biological sciences fields were considered: plant
physiology and evolutionary plant biology
Clinical, radiological and therapeutic features of keratocystic odontogenic tumours: a study over a decade
Factors associated with the potential for recurrence of keratocystic odontogenic tumours (KCOT) still remain to be
clearly determined and no consensus exists concerning the management of KCOT. The purpose of this study was
to evaluate different clinical factors associated with KCOT and its treatment methods. A retrospective review was
performed of 55 cases treated from 2001 to 2010. Of the 55 cases, 27% were associated with an impacted or semi-
impacted tooth. The majority of the lesions (82%) were located in tooth-bearing areas, and the overall mandibular
to maxilla ratio of tumour occurrence was 5:1. The treatment options included enucleation, marsupialisation, or
peripheral ostectomy, with or without the use of Carnoy ?s solution. Recurrence was found in 14 cases (25%). No
significant association was seen between recurrence and age, symptomatic cases, location of the lesion, or unilocu
-
lar or multilocular appearance. The recurrence rate was higher in the group with tooth involvement, more marked
in cases with third molar involvement. Statistical analysis showed a significant relation between recurrence and the
type of treatment, with higher rates in cases treated with enucleation associated with tooth extraction. In our series,
those cases with a closer relation with dental tissues showed a higher risk of recurrence, suggesting the need for a
distinct classification for peripheral variants of KCOT
Estudio immunohistoquímico de tumores de folículos pilosos caninos
El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido analizar los patrones de expresión de varias citoqueratinas e involucrina en tumores del folículo piloso canino con especial interés en los que exhiben menor diferenciación tricofítica.
En el estudio se han utilizado 71 tumores foliculares diagnosticados en el Servicio de
Diagnóstico de Histología y Anatomía Patológica Comparadas de la UCO. Las muestras, fijadas en formol al 10%, se procesaron de la forma habitual para diagnóstico histopatológico y se utilizó la técnica ABC para el estudio inmunohistoquímico.
Los tumores foliculares se clasificaron histopatológicamente según Golsmidht y cols, (1998) como tricoepiteliomas (22), epiteliomas intracutáneos cornificantes (23) y tricoblastomas (5)y pilomatricomas (21)
Propiedades de las rocas volcánicas de Canarias (España) utilizadas como material de escollera
In the Canary Islands, there is a wide spectrum of volcanic rocks with different properties to be used in public works. The aim of this study is to analyse the physical-mechanical properties of all the volcanic rocks present in the Canary Island archipelago in order to determine their suitability for use in maritime construction works. The great variety of volcanic rocks present on the islands have been grouped into lithotypes based on similar geo-mechanical behaviour. The laboratory test results obtained for these lithotypes establish their suitability or not to be used as breakwater material in accordance with Spanish regulations.En el archipiélago canario existe un amplio espectro de rocas volcánicas con diferentes propiedades para ser utilizadas en obras públicas. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar las propiedades físico-mecánicas de todas las rocas volcánicas presentes en el archipiélago canario con el fin de determinar su idoneidad para ser utilizadas en obras de construcción marítima. La gran variedad de rocas volcánicas presentes en las islas, se han agrupado en litotipos basados en un comportamiento geomecánico similar. Los resultados de los ensayos de laboratorio obtenidos para estos litotipos establecen su idoneidad o no para ser utilizados como material de escollera de acuerdo con la normativa española
Integral field spectroscopy of M1-67. A Wolf-Rayet nebula with LBVN appearance
This work aims to disentangle the morphological, kinematic, and chemical
components of the nebula M1-67 to shed light on its process of formation around
the central Wolf-Rayet (WR) star WR124. We have carried out integral field
spectroscopy observations over two regions of M1-67, covering most of the
nebula in the optical range. Maps of electron density, line ratios, and radial
velocity were created to perform a detailed analysis of the two-dimensional
structure. We studied the physical and chemical properties by means of
integrated spectra selected over the whole nebula. Photoionization models were
performed to confirm the empirical chemical results theoretically. In addition,
we analysed infrared spectroscopic data and the MIPS 24micron image of M1-67
from Spitzer. We find that the ionized gas of M1-67 is condensed in knots
aligned in a preferred axis along the NE-SW direction, like a bipolar
structure. Both electron density and radial velocity decrease in this direction
when moving away from the central star. From the derived electron temperature,
Te~8200 K, we have estimated chemical abundances, obtaining that nitrogen
appears strongly enriched and oxygen depleted. From the last two results, we
infer that this bipolarity is the consequence of an ejection of an evolved
stage of WR124 with material processed in the CNO cycle. The infrared study has
revealed that the bipolar axis is composed of ionized gas with a low ionization
degree that is well mixed with warm dust and of a spherical bubble surrounding
the ejection at 24micron. Taking the evolution of a 60 Mo star and the temporal
scale of the bipolar ejection into account, we propose that the observed gas
was ejected during an eruption in the luminous blue variable. The star has
entered the WR phase recently without apparent signs of interaction between
WR-winds and interstellar material.Comment: Accepted for publication in section 6 of Astronomy and Astrophysics.
