Dignidad personal y libertad: libertad y ciudadanía en la antigua Roma

El artículo tiene por objeto el estudio de la ciudadanía en la Antigua Roma entendida como status de los civis romanos que les permitía el pleno ejercicio de los derechos políticos y civiles. La ciudadanía romana se extendió progresivamente a los pueblos que quedaron bajo el dominio de Roma. Finalmente el emperador Caracalla otorgó en el año 212 d.C. la ciudadanía romana a todos los habitantes libres residentes dentro de las fronteras de Imperio RomanoThe article makes a study of citizenship in ancient Rome understood as a status of roman civis that allowed them the full enjoyment of civil and political rights. Roman citizenship was progressively extended to the peoples who were under the domination of Rome. Finally the emperor Caracalla granted in 212 A.D. roman citizenship to all free inhabitants living within the borders of the Roman Empir

Integrated tool for IGCC power plants design.

Expanding economies and global warming are increasingly important and interrelated challenging issues which require cleaner and more efficient power plants designs to comply with sustainable energy demand are required. Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plants have an important role, because of their more efficient way of producing energy from fossil fuels. Actions are focused on clean power and H2 from coal, and bioproducts. So, one of the future of coal-based power generation strategies should be CO2 transport and storage in order to obtain a purer hydrogen stream. This paper proposes a methodology and supporting tool for estimating plant performance in terms of power effiency and environmental compliance and making an economic assessment for different scenarios. The technical performance has been modeled in Aspen Hysys and Aspen Plus, and models have been validated with real power plant data from ELCOGAS. Comparisons, in terms of power, emissions, efficiencies and costs between a wide variety of plant designs are presented: they enhance differences in raw material, purification units layout, and hydrogen obtention. Results obtained are examined and discussed towards future work.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author’s final draft

Advanced tools for ITER Tritium Plant System Modeling & Design

Chemical plant system modeling experience based on the use of largely validated commercial modeling tools such as the Aspen HYSYS is adapted and exploited to develop numeric routines for unitary isotopic operations, including permeation, cold trapping, reversible absorption, and cryogenic distillation, for the ITER tritium plant systems. Model prediction capabilities and isotopic database inputs for first-principle models are discussed. Numeric implementation of the Aspen HYSYS routines are presentedPeer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
