A 2-set-up Routley-Meyer Semantics for the 4-valued Relevant Logic E4

The logic BN4 can be considered as the 4-valued logic of the relevant conditional and the logic E4, as the 4-valued logic of (relevant) entailment. The aim of this paper is to endow E4 with a 2-set-up Routley-Meyer semantics. It is proved that E4 is strongly sound and complete w.r.t. this semantics

Quark-mass dependence of baryon resonances

We study the quark-mass dependence of J^P = \frac12^- s-wave and J^P = \frac32^- d-wave baryon resonances. Parameter-free results are obtained in terms of the leading order chiral Lagrangian. In the 'heavy' SU(3) limit with m_\pi =m_K \simeq 500 MeV the s-wave resonances turn into bound states forming two octets plus a singlet representations of the SU(3) group. Similarly the d-wave resonances turn into bound states forming an octet and a decuplet in this limit. A contrasted result is obtained in the 'light' SU(3) limit with m_\pi =m_K \simeq 140 MeV for which no resonances exist.Comment: 8 pages, three figures, talk presented at HYP200

Dynamics and stability of radiation-driven double ablation front structures.

The dynamics of double ablation front (DAF) structures is studied for planar targets with moderate atomic number ablators. These structures are obtained in hydrodynamic simulations for various materials and laser intensities and are qualitatively characterized during the acceleration stage of the target. The importance of the radiative transport for the DAF dynamics is then demonstrated. Simulated hydrodynamic profiles are compared with a theoretical model, showing the consistency of the model and the relevant parameters for the dynamics description. The stability of DAF structures with respect to two-dimensional perturbations is studied using two different approaches: one considers the assumptions of the theoretical model and the other one a more complete physics. The numerical simulations performed with both approaches demonstrate good agreement of dispersion curve

El aprendizaje basado en la resolución de problemas: una experiencia práctica

La acomodación de la docencia universitaria de la disciplina Derecho Financiero y Tributario a los nuevos parámetros del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES), conocido como "proceso de Bolonia", ha hecho necesario activar metodologías y herramientas docentes que faciliten la implantación de la enseñanza centrada en el aprendizaje activo, autónomo y participativo. Entre la variedad de metodologías didácticas, se ha optado por el "Aprendizaje basado en la resolución de problemas", siendo el objetivo fundamental de nuestra experiencia, enfrentar al alumnado con casos prácticos que acontecen en el trabajo diario de un asesor fiscal. Los resultados fueron muy satisfactorios, debido a la gran implicación del grupo de alumnos, y a las calificaciones positivas obtenidas al final del proceso evaluador.The accommodation of de university teaching of the discipline Financial and Tax Law to the new parameters of the European Higher Education, known as Bologna process, it has become necessary to enable methodologies and teaching tools that facilitate the introduction of teaching active, autonomous, learning centered and participatory. Between the variety of teaching methodologies, has been chosen by problem based learning, being the main objective of our experience, confront the student with practical cases that occur in the daily work of a tax advisor. The results were very satisfactory because the great involvement of the group of students, and the positive qualifications obtained at the end of the evaluation process
