Looking for Simple Common Schemes to Design Recognizer P Systems with Active Membranes That Solve Numerical Decision Problems
Earlier solutions to decision problems by means of P systems
used many counter objects to control the synchronization of different
stages in a computation (usually as many counters as the stage must
last in the worst case). In this paper we propose a way to replace those
counters with some spacial objects for each stage. Furthermore, following
the ideas presented in [1], in order to have a common scheme to attack
numerical problems, all instances of a problem with the same size are
solved by the same P system (which depends on the size) given an input
which describes the corresponding instance of the problem. We illustrate
these ideas with a cellular solution to the Subset-Sum problem
La etnicidad como identidad por la ascendencia. El enfoque del evolucionismo social.
El resurgimiento de sentimientos localistas, regionalistas y nacionalistas que, contradictoriamente, trajo la globalización, han reavivado el interés por entender el
significado del concepto de 'etnia', así como de las consecuencias que la actividad de las etnias provoca en la vida de las naciones y en la de los propios grupos
étnicos. La discusión está abierta y el concepto de etnia es discutido desde diversas disciplinas y perspectivas analíticas distintas, llegando a convertirse en un concepto ubicuo y transdisciplinario
A New Strategy to Improve the Performance of PDP-Systems Simulators
One of the major challenges that current P systems simulators
have to deal with is to be as efficient as possible. A P system
is syntactically described as a membrane structure delimiting regions
where multisets of objects evolve by means of evolution rules. According
to that, on each computation step, the applicability of the rules for
the current P system configuration must be calculated. In this paper we
extend previous works that use Rete-based simulation algorithm in order
to improve the time consumed during the checking phase in the selection
of rules. A new approach is presented, oriented to the acceleration of

Evaluating the Response of Mediterranean-Atlantic Saltmarshes to Sea-Level Rise
Saltmarshes provide high-value ecological services and play an important role in coastal
ecosystems and populations. As the rate of sea level rise accelerates in response to climate change,
saltmarshes and tidal environments and the ecosystem services that they provide could be lost in those
areas that lack sediment supply for vertical accretion or space for landward migration. Predictive
models could play an important role in foreseeing those impacts, and to guide the implementation
of suitable management plans that increase the adaptive capacity of these valuable ecosystems.
The SLAMM (sea-level affecting marshes model) has been extensively used to evaluate coastal
wetland habitat response to sea-level rise. However, uncertainties in predicted response will also
reflect the accuracy and quality of primary inputs such as elevation and habitat coverage. Here,
we assessed the potential of SLAMM for investigating the response of Atlantic-Mediterranean
saltmarshes to future sea-level rise and its application in managerial schemes. Our findings show
that SLAMM is sensitive to elevation and habitat maps resolution and that historical sea-level trend
and saltmarsh accretion rates are the predominant input parameters that influence uncertainty in
predictions of change in saltmarsh habitats. The understanding of the past evolution of the system,
as well as the contemporary situation, is crucial to providing accurate uncertainty distributions and
thus to set a robust baseline for future prediction
