El "Plano del castillo y salinas y contornos de Cardona del excelentĂsimo señor duque de Cardona"
Els llibres del cor de l'esglĂ©sia canĂČnica de Sant Vicenç de Cardona, segons un inventari de l'any 1507
With this study we can know about the books of the choir of the canonical church of Cardona, on the basis of a survey made in 1507 about the furniture of the sacristy, as well as the evolution of some manuscripts until the suppression of the Cardona cornmunity in 1851. This study, also deals with some books given as a donnation to the library and sacristy by the members of the Cardona viscount and count family
Metallicity dependence of HMXB populations
High-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) might have contributed a non-negligible
fraction of the energy feedback to the interstellar and intergalactic media at
high redshift, becoming important sources for the heating and ionization
history of the Universe. However, the importance of this contribution depends
on the hypothesized increase in the number of HMXBs formed in low-metallicity
galaxies and in their luminosities. In this work we test the aforementioned
hypothesis, and quantify the metallicity dependence of HMXB population
properties. We compile from the literature a large set of data on the sizes and
X-ray luminosities of HMXB populations in nearby galaxies with known
metallicities and star formation rates. We use Bayesian inference to fit simple
Monte Carlo models that describe the metallicity dependence of the size and
luminosity of the HMXB populations. We find that HMXBs are typically ten times
more numerous per unit star formation rate in low-metallicity galaxies (12 +
log(O/H) < 8, namely < 20% solar) than in solar-metallicity galaxies. The
metallicity dependence of the luminosity of HMXBs is small compared to that of
the population size. Our results support the hypothesis that HMXBs are more
numerous in low-metallicity galaxies, implying the need to investigate the
feedback in the form of X-rays and energetic mass outflows of these high-energy
sources during cosmic dawn.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, accepted for publication in Astronomy &

Computer assisted audit tools and techniques in real world: CAATT's applications and approaches in context
Nowadays, Computer Aided Audit Tools (and Techniquesâ) support almost all audit processes concerning data extraction and analysis. These tools were firstly aimed to support financial auditing processes. However, their scope is beyond this, therefore, we present case studies and good practices in an academic context. Although in large auditing companies Audit Tools to do data extraction and analysis are very common and applied in several contexts, we realized that is not easy to find practical examples to teach this subject. Computer Science studentsâ and teachers usually use application manualsâ, which are adequate to explore the tools itself, but they are not enough to do real data analysis: a âhands-onâ approach is essential. Despite that, our students didnât belong to any Computer Science graduation. CAATTs are good examples of software aimed to help auditors to analyze data, to explore and study distinct data sets in auditing processes. CAATTs represent an innovative approach to do data analysis, mainly because they allow the manipulation of very large data records with no significant added costs. Frequently, users have another difficulty: they are not able to adequate their data sets or to prepare their data in order to create useful input data, to do their analysis. In this paper, we present a proposal of extraction and data analysis, based on data sets obtained from a LMS platform (Learning Management System), a real data set that can be used to support students learning about CAATTs topic. Fundamental procedures to reach specific answers using a CAATT as a main tool to do data extraction and analysis are also referred. The context for this case study was an Information Technologies applied to Auditing course in a Master Degree graduation
