Anderson Localization in Disordered Vibrating Rods

We study, both experimentally and numerically, the Anderson localization phenomenon in torsional waves of a disordered elastic rod, which consists of a cylinder with randomly spaced notches. We find that the normal-mode wave amplitudes are exponentially localized as occurs in disordered solids. The localization length is measured using these wave amplitudes and it is shown to decrease as a function of frequency. The normal-mode spectrum is also measured as well as computed, so its level statistics can be analyzed. Fitting the nearest-neighbor spacing distribution a level repulsion parameter is defined that also varies with frequency. The localization length can then be expressed as a function of the repulsion parameter. There exists a range in which the localization length is a linear function of the repulsion parameter, which is consistent with Random Matrix Theory. However, at low values of the repulsion parameter the linear dependence does not hold.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure

Molecular gas at supernova local environments unveiled by EDGE

CO observations allow estimations of the gas content of molecular clouds, which trace the reservoir of cold gas fuelling star formation, as well as to determine extinction via H$_2$ column density, N(H$_2$). Here, we studied millimetric and optical properties at 26 supernovae (SNe) locations of different types in a sample of 23 nearby galaxies by combining molecular $^{12}$C$^{16}$O (J = 1 $\rightarrow$ 0) resolved maps from the EDGE survey and optical Integral Field Spectroscopy from the CALIFA survey. We found an even clearer separation between type II and type Ibc SNe in terms of molecular gas than what we found in the optical using H$\alpha$ emission as a proxy for current SF rate, which reinforces the fact that SNe Ibc are more associated with SF-environments. While A$_V$ at SN locations is similar for SNe II and SNe Ibc, and higher compared to SNe Ia, N(H$_2$) is significantly higher for SNe Ibc than for SNe II and SNe Ia. When compared to alternative extinction estimations directly from SN photometry and spectroscopy, we find that our SNe Ibc have also redder color excess but showed standard Na I D absorption pseudo-equivalent widths ($\sim$1 \AA). In some cases we find no extinction when estimated from the environment, but high amounts of extinction when measured from SN observations, which suggests that circumstellar material or dust sublimation may be playing a role. This work serves as a benchmark for future studies combining last generation millimeter and optical IFS instruments to reveal the local environmental properties of extragalactic SNe.Comment: MNRAS accepted, 17 pages, 8 Figures, 4 Table

Transferencia de resultados de investigación para el ahorro de agua y de la energía en comunidades de regantes a través del entorno de gestión integrada CORENET-COREGEST

En la actualidad se está produciendo un incremento en la demanda para realizar una gestión optimizada del agua y de la energía empleadas en el regadío. Esto ha dado lugar a una importante actividad de I+D con diferentes sistemas, productos y servicios, que comparten el objetivo de mejorar la aplicación del agua y/o de la energía. Sin embargo, el conocimiento generado choca con dificultades a la hora de transferir los resultados hacia los usuarios finales. Esto es debido, al menos en parte, a la necesidad de que las Comunidades de Regantes cambien su modelo de gestión y sean capaces de integrar los resultados de este conocimiento con los procesos normales de gestión que se emplean en las mismas. SERINA ha desarrollado la metodología y el Enterprsise Resource Planning (ERP) de gestión CORENET-COREGEST, que permite modernizar los procesos de gestión de las Comunidades de Regantes e integrar herramientas/sistemas/servicios externos generados por los centros de I+D con el objetivo de mejorar la gestión, fundamentalmente, del agua y de la energía. En este trabajo se muestran algunos casos que ilustran lo anterior y se explican las ventajas para las Comunidades de Regantes usuarias así como por los centros de I+D que han integrado sus productos en CORENET-COREGEST

A comparative study between wmms and tls for the stability analysis of the San Pedro church barrel vault by means of the finite element method

Stability of masonry constructions is highly conditioned by the geometric disposition of its elements due to its low tensile strength and great compressive mechanical properties. Under this framework, this paper attempts to evaluate the suitability of a wearable mobile mapping solution, equipped in a backpack and based on the well-known simultaneous location and mapping paradigm, for the structural diagnosis of historical constructions. To evaluate the suitability of this device, the structural analysis obtained is compared with a high precision terrestrial laser scanner, which is considered as ground truth. The Romanesque church of San Pedro (Becerril del Carpio, Spain) was selected as a study case. This construction, initially conceived in the XIIIth century, has experimented in the past a soil settlement promoting the leaning of the north wall, several plastic hinges in its barrel vault and a visible geometrical deformation. The comparison of both techniques was carried out at different levels: i) an evaluation of the time needed to obtain the point cloud of the church; ii) an accuracy assessment based on the comparison of a terrestrial network using artificial spheres as checkpoints and; iii) an evaluation of the discrepancies, in terms of safety factor and collapse topology, found during the advance numerical evaluation of the barrel vault by means of the finite element method. This comparison places this wearable mobile mapping solution as an interesting tool for the creation of advanced numerical simulations to evaluate the structural stability of historical constructionsJunta de Castilla y León | Ref.

Tracking Plum pox virus in Chile throughout the year by three different methods and molecular characterization of Chilean isolates

During 2007, a survey was performed to detect and identify Plum pox virus (PPV) in Chilean stone fruit commercial orchards. A total of 1396 trees were analyzed and 45 (3.22 %) of them resulted positive. A fragment of 467 bp, corresponding to the replicase-coat protein (Nib-CP) region from the virus genome, was amplified and the the sequences obtained permitted the characterization of all isolates as PPV-D type, confirming that, so far, this is the only serotype present in Chile. To optimize virus detection, 27 PPV-positive trees were selected and sampled monthly from December 2006 until December 2007, collecting plant tissues available at the time of sampling (leaves, cuttings, buds and flowers). Each sample was analyzed by three different techniques: DASI-ELISA, RT-PCR and non-isotopic molecular hybridization (MH). The results showed that RT-PCR was more sensitive for detection in all months excepting January 2007, when the three techniques showed the same sensitivity. In general, MH showed a better sensitivity compared with DASI-ELISA. The best plant materials for analysis were: leaves, in February, March, September and October; phloem from cuttings in June; buds in July, and flowers in August.

Enfermería : fármacos más utilizados en urgencias hospitalarias

El Servicio de Urgencias del C.H.G.U.V. cuenta con una plantilla de 84 Enfermeros/as. Una parte considerable de ellos es personal de nueva incorporación, de ahí que sea prioritaria la elaboración de protocolos de actuación. La administración de medicación intravenosa es sin duda una de las técnicas de mayor aplicación en los pacientes que acuden a Urgencias, que en nuestro Hospital oscila entre 550-600 atenciones diarias. Por ello nos planteamos, mediante la realización de reuniones de grupo, la elaboración del presente trabajo con el objetivo de elaborar un manual informativo sobre la medicación más habitual utilizada en nuestro Servicio de Urgencias; indicaciones, contraindicaciones, diluciones, cuidados y recomendaciones sobre la administración que nos ayude a visionar la practica en nuestro trabajo y la calidad del Servicio que prestamos a nuestros pacientes, y sirva de consulta sobre todo al personal de nueva incorporación.The First aid service of the C.H.G.U.V.
