The role of the eucharist in the making of an ecclesiology according to haimo of auxerre’s commentary on I cor
Carolingian biblical exegesis presents itself as a synthesis of exegetical and theological patristic tradition in order to make it affordable to the Christians of that time. The result of that process are interpretations of biblical texts that can be considered new, though based on the texts of the Fathers. Among them it is possible to find images of the Church containing ideas about power or how to govern and to order society. This paper studies Haimo of Auxerre’s commentary on I Cor 12, 12 et seq in order to establish the author’s concept of ’body of Christ’, in the context of the Eucharistic controversy of the ninth century. It also studies the ideological consequences of his exegesis.Fil: Hernandez Rodriguez, Alfonso Maria. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones CientÃficas y Técnicas.

A probabilistic data-driven model for planar pushing
This paper presents a data-driven approach to model planar pushing
interaction to predict both the most likely outcome of a push and its expected
variability. The learned models rely on a variation of Gaussian processes with
input-dependent noise called Variational Heteroscedastic Gaussian processes
(VHGP) that capture the mean and variance of a stochastic function. We show
that we can learn accurate models that outperform analytical models after less
than 100 samples and saturate in performance with less than 1000 samples. We
validate the results against a collected dataset of repeated trajectories, and
use the learned models to study questions such as the nature of the variability
in pushing, and the validity of the quasi-static assumption.Comment: 8 pages, 11 figures, ICRA 201
Bicycling Black Rings
We present detailed physics analyses of two different 4+1-dimensional
asymptotically flat vacuum black hole solutions with spin in two independent
planes: the doubly spinning black ring and the bicycling black ring system
("bi-rings"). The latter is a new solution describing two concentric orthogonal
rotating black rings which we construct using the inverse scattering technique.
We focus particularly on extremal zero-temperature limits of the solutions. We
construct the phase diagram of currently known zero-temperature vacuum black
hole solutions with a single event horizon, and discuss the non-uniqueness
introduced by more exotic black hole configurations such as bi-rings and
multi-ring saturns.Comment: 32 pages, 12 figure
Molecular dynamics simulations of Ibuprofen release from pH-gated silica nanochannels
The iboprufen delivery process from cylindrical silica pores of diameter 3~nm, with polyamine chains anchored at the pore outlets,was investigated by means of massive molecular dynamics simulations. Effects from pH were introduced by considering polyamine chains with different degree of protonation. High, low and intermediate pH environments were investigated. The increment of the acidity of the environment leads to a significant decrease of the pore aperture, yielding an effective diameter, for the lowest pH case, that is 3.5~times smaller than the one associated to the highest pH one. Using a biased sampling procedure, Gibbs free energy profiles for the ibuprofen delivery process were obtained. The joint analysis of the corresponding profiles, time evolution of the ibuprofen position within the channel, orientation of the molecule and instantaneous effective diameter of the gate, suggests a 3-steps mechanism for ibuprofen delivery. A complementary analysis of the translational mobility of ibuprofen along the axial direction of the channel revealed a sub-diffusive dynamics in the low and intermediate pH cases.Deviations from Brownian diffusive dynamics are discussed and compared with direct experimental results.

Tactile Mapping and Localization from High-Resolution Tactile Imprints
This work studies the problem of shape reconstruction and object localization
using a vision-based tactile sensor, GelSlim. The main contributions are the
recovery of local shapes from contact, an approach to reconstruct the tactile
shape of objects from tactile imprints, and an accurate method for object
localization of previously reconstructed objects. The algorithms can be applied
to a large variety of 3D objects and provide accurate tactile feedback for
in-hand manipulation. Results show that by exploiting the dense tactile
information we can reconstruct the shape of objects with high accuracy and do
on-line object identification and localization, opening the door to reactive
manipulation guided by tactile sensing. We provide videos and supplemental
information in the project's website

The Contemporary Human Resources Function
Abstract
Current companies encounter important challenges day to day. Many factors such as the economic globalization, the change in the way of working, the Internet boom, and the importance that the service sector is experiencing nowadays influence the new society in which persons and businesses actually cope.
Each of these contingencies obligates the Human Resource function to adapt to new organizational goals moulding their strategies and tactics to the in fashion topics.
In this work we present the classical functions integrated in the Human Resources department constituting its base of performance. We also deal equally with the high performance practices and the importance that is acquiring the binomial human resources management strategies – business performance such as new tendencies applicable in this area.Universidad de Málaga.

Family functioning characteristics involved in adolescent depressive symptoms
Research has shown that family functioning contributes to depressive symptoms in adolescents, with a
wide range of family functioning characteristics associated to adolescent depressive symptoms. However,
these family attributes have been studied through different studies, methodologies and theoretical
frameworks, and do not allow envisaging a single whole picture of the family attributes associated to
adolescent depressive symptoms. The objective of this study was to overcome this deficit. We followed a
systematic approach and used the Family Assessment Device (FAD), which comprehensively identify six
family variables in which healthy and unhealthy families differ: Problem Solving (PS), Communication
(CM), Roles (RL), Affective Responsiveness (AR), Affective Involvement (AI) and Behaviour Control
(BC). Independent regression analyses conducted for each variable showed that all the FAD variables
significantly predicted BDI scores. However, when the six variables were introduced simultaneously in
the same equation to control for the shared explained variance, only AR and AI showed significant
effects, with BC approaching significance. These results were confirmed through Prat measure, which
showed that the non-overlapping effects of AR, AI and BC accounted for virtually the whole variance
explained by the FAD dimensions. Conclusions at both methodological and applied levels emerge from
these results. At a methodological level, these results prove the need for controlling the shared variance
between family variables before deriving any conclusion about their role. At an applied level, they
showed that the family affective aspects are the most important regarding adolescent depression, with
only behaviour control playing a role within the non-affective variables.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional AndalucÃa Tech
