El objetivo del presente trabajo es abordar la Mediación en el seno de las organizaciones, teniendo en cuenta que estas constituyen sistemas de interrelación entre personas, donde confluyen numerosos intereses. Se trata por tanto, de abordar la resolución de los problemas no solo existentes sino de los emergentes, aportando herramientas eficaces en el desarrollo de la actividad empresarial, que permitan gestionar y modular los conflictos, de forma que los mismos, se transformen en oportunidades de mejora y de crecimiento empresarial.The aim of this paper is to address mediation within organizations, considering that these are systems of interaction between people, where many interests meet. It is therefore to address the resolution of existing problems but not only emerging, providing effective tools in the development of business, enabling management and conflict modular, so that they are transformed into opportunities improvement and business growth

Improving the magnetic heating by disaggregating nanoparticles

Recently, potential applications of the magnetic heating for heterogeneous catalysis or organic synthesis have been reported. As these new applications are not limited by biocompatibility requirements, a wide range of possibilities for non-aqueous colloidal nanoparticles with enhanced magnetic properties is open. In this work, manganese and cobalt ferrite nanoparticles are synthesized by co-precipitation method with average particle size around 12 nm. The particles are either coated with tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAOH) and dispersed in water or with oleic acid (OA) and dispersed in hexane to produce aggregated or disaggregated nanoparticles, respectively. It is observed that the particle disaggregation improves significantly the heating efficiency from 12 to 96 W/g in the case of cobalt ferrite, and from 120 to 413 W/g for the manganese ferrite. The main responsible for this improvement is the reduction of hydrodynamic volume that allows a faster Brownian relaxation. This work also discusses the relevance of the size distribution

The Hay Inclined Plane in Coalbrookdale (Shropshire, England): Analysis through Computer-Aided Engineering

This article analyzes the ‘Hay inclined plane’ designed by the English engineer and entrepreneur William Reynolds and put into operation in 1792 to facilitate the transport of vessels between channels at different levels using an inclined plane. To this end, a study of computer-aided engineering (CAE) was carried out using the parametric software Autodesk Inventor Professional, consisting of a static analysis using the finite-element method (FEM) of the 3D model of the invention under real operating conditions. The results obtained after subjecting the mechanism to the two most unfavorable situations (blockage situation of the inertia flywheel and emergency braking situation) indicate that, with the exception of the braking bar, the rest of the assembly is perfectly designed and dimensioned. In particular, for the blockage situation, the point with the greatest stress is at the junction between the inertia flywheel and the axle to which it is attached, the maximum value of von Mises stress being at that point (186.9 MPa) lower than the elastic limit of the cast iron. Also, at this point the deformation is very low (0.13% of its length), as well as the maximum displacement that takes place in the inertia flywheel itself (22.98 mm), and the lowest safety factor has a value of 3.51 (located on the wooden shaft support), which indicates that the mechanism is clearly oversized. On the other hand, the emergency braking situation, which is technically impossible with a manual operation, indicates that the braking bar supports a maximum von Mises stress of 1025 MPa, above the elastic limit of the material, so it would break. However, other than that element, the rest of the elements have lower stresses, with a maximum value of 390.7 MPa, and with safety factors higher than 1.7, which indicates that the mechanism was well dimensioned.This research was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Competitiveness (MINECO), under the Spanish Plan of Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation (2013–2016) and European Fund Regional Development (EFRD) under grant number [HAR2015-63503-P]

Agustín de Betancourt’s Optical Telegraph: Geometric Modeling and Virtual Reconstruction

This article shows the geometric modeling and virtual reconstruction of the optical telegraph by Agustín de Betancourt and Abraham Louis Breguet developed at the end of the 18th century. Autodesk Inventor Professional software has been used to obtain the three-dimensional (3D) model of this historical invention and its geometric documentation. The material for the research is available on the website of the Betancourt Project of the Canary Orotava Foundation for the History of Science. Thanks to the three-dimensional modeling performed, it has been possible to explain in detail both its operation and the assembly system of this invention in a coherent way. After carrying out its 3D modeling and functional analysis, it was discovered that the transmissions in the telegraph were not performed by hemp ropes but rather by metal chains with flat links, considerably reducing possible error. Similarly, it has also been found that the use of the gimbal joint facilitated the adaptability of the invention to geographical areas where there was a physical impediment to the alignment of telegraph stations. In addition, it was not now necessary for the telescope frames to be located parallel to the mast frame (frame of the indicator arrow) and therefore they could work in different planes.This research was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Competitiveness under the Spanish Plan of Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation (2013–2016), and the European Fund for Regional Development (EFRD) under grant number [HAR2015-63503-P]

Agustin de Betancourt’s Wind Machine for Draining Marshy Ground: Approach to Its Geometric Modeling with Autodesk Inventor Professional

The present study shows the process followed in making the three-dimensional model and geometric documentation of a historical invention of the renowned Spanish engineer Agustin de Betancourt y Molina, which forms part of his rich legacy. Specifically, this was a wind machine for draining marshy ground, designed in 1789. The present research relies on the computer-aided design (CAD) techniques using Autodesk Inventor Professional software, based on the scant information provided by the only two drawings of the machine, making it necessary to propose a number of dimensional and geometric hypotheses as well as a series of movement restrictions (degrees of freedom), to arrive at a consistent design. The results offer a functional design for this historic invention

The Conical Stones Olive Oil Mill: Analysis through Computer-Aided Engineering

This article analyzes an olive oil mill formed of four conical stones used in the milling of the olive. To this end, a study of computer-aided engineering (CAE) was carried out using the parametric software Autodesk Inventor Professional, consisting of a static analysis using the finite-element method (FEM) of the three-dimensional (3D) model of the mill under real operating conditions. The results obtained revealed that the conical stones mill was a very robust machine. When studying the assembly in the most unfavorable situation (blockage of one of its millstones), we observed that the element with the highest von Mises stress was the bearing nut, reaching a value of 263.9 MPa, which was far from the elastic limit of cast iron (758 MPa). On the other hand, the machine hardly presented any equivalent deformations or displacements that could jeopardize the operation as a whole. The maximum displacement obtained was 2.494 mm in the inertia flywheel, and the equivalent deformations did not reach 0.1% of the part dimension. Similarly, the element with the lowest safety coefficient (2.87) was the same bearing nut with the highest von Mises stress, although the next element with the second lowest safety coefficient had a value of 8.69, which showed that the set was clearly oversized. These results demonstrate the convenience of redesigning the set in order to resize some of its elements, and that they could have lower safety coefficients of between 2 and 4. After an initial analysis, the resizable elements would fundamentally be those related to the movement transmission system and the frame structure
