A strike-slip fault corridor within the Alpujarra Mountains (Betic Cordilleras, Spain)

15 páginas, 6 figuras.[EN] In a long »corridor« in the internal zone of the Betic Cordilleras, bounded to the north by the Sierra Nevada and to the south by the Sierras Lujar, Contraviesa and Gador, two discernible bands of strike-slip faults exist: These bands lie in an approximately E-W direction and are well exposed throughout and beyond the 85 km long belt. The characteristic features of strike-slip faults, such as cataclastic rocks composed of variously textured fault breccia, which also include fragments of rocks up to several metres in size, incipient foliation, and striation demonstrate the right-lateral nature of the displacement. There are also fractures which run in a NW-SE and NNE-SSW direction, and apparently originated after formation of the E-W faults. The magnitude of lateral displacements is difficult to calculate. Evidence of considerable vertical movement can be found locally. These strike-slip displacements have essentially occurred since the middle Miocene period and might still be taking place.[AL] In einem langen Korridor in der Internzone der Betischen Kordilleren, der im Norden durch die Sierra Nevada und im Süden von den Sierren Lujar, Contraviesa und Gador begrenzt wird, sind zwei Streifen mit Blattverschiebungen zu beobachten. Sie streichen etwa E-W und sind gut entlang des 85-km-langen Gürtels aufgeschlossen. Die charakteristischen Merkmale von Blattverschiebungen wie etwa kataklastische Gesteine mit verschiedenen texturierten Verwerfungsbrekzien, welche auch bis zu mehreren Metern große Gesteinsblöcke enthalten, beginnende Schieferung und Harnischbildung, zeigen die dextrale Natur der Bewegung. Daneben treten NW-SE und NNE-SSW streichende Störungen auf, die offensichtlich nach der Bildung der E-W verlaufenden Blattverschiebungen entstanden sind. Das Ausmaß des lateralen Versatzes ist schwer abzuschätzen. Diese Bewegungen finden seit dem mittleren Miozän statt und sind möglicherweise immer noch aktiv.[FR] Dans un long couloir situé dans la zone interne des Chaînes Bétiques et limité au Nord par la Sierra Névada et au Sud par les Sierras de Lujar, Contraviesa et Gador, s'observent deux trains de failles de décrochements. Ces trains ont une direction à peu près E-W et sont bien exposés tout au long des 85 Km de cette zone. Les traits caractéristiques des décrochements, tels que cataclasites, brèche de faille avec fragments de roches jusqu'à plusieurs mètres de longueur, schistosité naissante et striation, démontrent la nature dextre du déplacement. Il existe aussi des fractures de direction NW-SE et NNW-SSW qui se sont vraisemblablement formées postérieurement aux failles E-W. La valeur du déplacement latéral est difficile à estimer. On rèléve localement des indices de mouvements verticaux importants. Ces décrochements se sont produits essentiellement à partir du Miocène moyen et peuvent encore se poursuivre aujourd'hui.This study was carried out under the auspices of the Departamento de Investigaciones Geológicas del C.S.I.C., Centro Coordinado con la Universidad de Granada, during a research project entitled: "Borde mediterráneo español: Evolución del Orógeno Bético y Geodinámica de las Depresiones Neógenas".Peer reviewe

Diario de noticias sobresalientes en Lima y Noticias de Europa (1700-1711), Volumen 1 (1700-1705)

Ofrece un estudio y edición del que fue, muy probablemente, el primer periódico de las Américas: el Diario de noticias sobresalientes en Lima y las Noticias de Europa, que se imprimieron en los talleres de José de Contreras y Alvarado entre 1700 y 1711 en la capital del virreinato del Perú. Se trata de un material que ha tenido hasta ahora escasa circulación entre los estudiosos del mundo colonial peruano y que ofrece un caudal de información sobre los acontecimientos en Lima en los inicios del siglo XVIII y sobre los sucesos que sacudían a Europa por la misma época. Este primer volumen contiene los primeros cinco años de noticias peruanas y europeas, que corresponden a la etapa final del gobierno virreinal del conde de la Moncloa (1700-1705)

Diario de noticias sobresalientes en Lima y noticias de Europa (1700-1711), Volumen 2 (1706-1711)

En este segundo volumen ofrecemos la edición de los años finales del Diario de noticias sobresalientes en Lima y Noticias de Europa (1700-1711), periódico impreso por Joseph de Contreras y Alvarado. El período aquí cubierto va de enero de 1706 a diciembre de 1711, y corresponde a los años más críticos de la Guerra de Sucesión española y, en el virreinato del Perú, a los gobiernos del marqués de Castell dos Rius y, parcialmente, del arzobispo Diego Ladrón de Guevara. Esta serie única de pliegos sueltos muestra la historia de las élites del virreinato del Perú, con sus poderosos comerciantes, y la vida cotidiana de la ciudad, con sus jerarquías y devociones populares, y revela la importancia del taller editorial e imprenta de Lima como un centro difusor de las noticias en la Monarquía Hispánica. La edición se complementa con un nuevo estudio preliminar y notas al texto sobre léxico, referentes culturales y fuentes noticiosas

Energy absorption analysis of aramid composite during blunt projectile impact

In this work, a numerical model for aramid composites is experimentally validated in terms of permanent deformation, energy absorption and damage mechanisms for ballistic applications. Novel experimental and numerical results of non-perforating ballistic impacts with blunt projectiles are presented. The resistance forces and absorption energy by the specimen are measured for different impact velocities. A post-mortem analysis of the failure mechanisms is performed using computed tomography and a profilometer device. The numerical model is used to analyse the influence of impactor mass and impact velocity below the ballistic limit.The authors acknowledge the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain and FEDER program under the Project DPI2017-88166-R for the financial support of the work.

There is more to the picture than meets the eye: adaptation for crypsis blurs phylogeographical structure in a lizard

Aim: We examined dorsal coloration in and genetic relationships among Iberian populations of the lizard Psammodromus algirus to determine the extent to which the current distribution of phenotypic variation is correlated with phylogeographical history or local environmental conditions. Location: Iberian Peninsula, western Palaearctic.Methods: We sequenced mitochondrial DNA (ND4 and adjacent tRNAs genes) in 36 populations, and seven microsatellite loci in eight representative populations. In 23 populations, lizards were classified according to the presence and intensity of a dorsal striped pattern, the heritability of which was estimated by means of mother–offspring regressions. To determine whether colour pattern is an adaptation for crypsis, we compared the time taken by humans to detect striped and unstriped lizards in different environments.Results: The analysis of mtDNA revealed an ancient split between a western clade, subdivided into south- and north-western haplogroups, and an eastern clade with central, south-eastern and eastern haplogroups. In contrast, nuclear markers showed a post-glacial admixture of central and western haplogroups, with the central haplogroup apparently isolated from the rest of its clade. This was consistent with variation in the dorsal striped pattern, a heritable phenotypic trait: central and western lizards were unstriped, whereas eastern lizards were striped. We then suggest that dorsal coloration promotes crypsis: in eastern locations detection times were longer for striped than for unstriped lizards, whereas the opposite was true in western and central locations.Main conclusions: Our results indicate that natural selection for crypsis may promote not only divergence within clades, as suggested by the apparent isolation between unstriped central lizards and striped members of eastern haplogroups, but also admixture between them. We conclude that ecologically driven selection is crucial for understanding the phylogeographical background of phenotypic variation, because recent adaptation to the environment can blur the effects of ancestral isolation.This study is a contribution to projects CGL2010-17928/BOS and CGL2013-41642-P, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education and SciencePeer reviewe

Hyperspectral Imaging for the Detection of Bitter Almonds in Sweet Almond Batches

A common fraud in the sweet almond industry is the presence of bitter almonds in commercial batches. The presence of bitter almonds not only causes unpleasant flavours but also problems in the commercialisation and toxicity for consumers. Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) has been proved to be suitable for the rapid and non-destructive quality evaluation in foods as it integrates the spectral and spatial dimensions. Thus, we aimed to study the feasibility of using an HSI system to identify single bitter almond kernels in commercial sweet almond batches. For this purpose, sweet and bitter almond batches, as well as different mixtures, were analysed in bulk using an HSI system which works in the spectral range 946.6–1648.0 nm. Qualitative models were developed using Partial Least Squares-Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) to differentiate between sweet and bitter almonds, obtaining a classification success of over the 99%. Furthermore, data reduction, as a function of the most relevant wavelengths (VIP scores), was applied to evaluate its performance. Then, the pixel-by-pixel validation of the mixtures was carried out, identifying correctly between 61–85% of the adulterations, depending on the group of mixtures and the cultivar analysed. The results confirm that HSI, without VIP scores data reduction, can be considered a promising approach for classifying the bitterness of almonds analysed in bulk, enabling identifying individual bitter almonds inside sweet almond batches. However, a more complex mathematical analysis is necessary before its implementation in the processing lines

Effects of the electrodeposition time in the synthesis of carbon-supported Pt(Cu) and Pt-Ru(Cu) core-shell electrocatalysts for polymer electrolyte fuel cells

Pt(Cu)/C and Pt-Ru(Cu)/C electrocatalysts with core-shell structure supported on Vulcan Carbon XC72R have been synthesized by potentiostatic deposition of Cu nanoparticles on the support, galvanic exchange with Pt and spontaneous deposition of Ru species. The duration of the electrodeposition time of the different species has been modified and the obtained electrocatalysts have been characterized using electrochemical and structural techniques. The High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) microanalyses allowed the determining of the effects of the electrodeposition time on the nanoparticle size and composition. The best conditions identified from Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) corresponded to onset potentials for CO and methanol oxidation on Pt-Ru(Cu)/C of 0.41 and 0.32 V vs. the Reversible Hydrogen Electrode (RHE), respectively, which were smaller by about 0.05 V than those determined for Ru-decorated commercial Pt/C. The CO oxidation peak potentials were about 0.1 V smaller when compared to commercial Pt/C and Pt-Ru/C. The positive effect of Cu was related to its electronic effect on the Pt shells and also to the generation of new active sites for CO oxidation. The synthesis conditions to obtain the best performance for CO and methanol oxidation on the core-shell Pt-Ru(Cu)/C electrocatalysts were identified. When compared to previous results in literature for methanol, ethanol and formic acid oxidation on Pt(Cu)/C catalysts, the present results suggest an additional positive effect of the deposited Ru species due to the introduction of the bifunctional mechanism for CO oxidatio
