Catálogo de mamíferos marinos de la Colección Mastozoológica del Museo de La Plata, Argentina.

This catalogue lists the materials of marine mammals housed in the Mammalogical collection of Museo de La Plata. This contribution is an update of the unpublished catalogue made by R. Bastida, J.B. Desojo, and L.H. Soibelzon in 1997. It includes all the specimens deposited in this collection, belonging to the Superorder Cetartilodactyla, order Cetacea, suborders Mysticeti and Odontoceti, the order Carnivora, suborder Caniformia, and the order Sirenia. The Mammalogical collection of the División Zoología Vertebrados of Museo de la Plata holds 185 specimens of 37 species of marine mammals.El presente catálogo lista los materiales de mamíferos marinos depositados en la colección de Mastozoología del Museo de La Plata.

Mamíferos continentales del Mioceno tardío a la actualidad en la Argentina: cincuenta años de estudios

Ameghiniana was created 50 years ago. During this lapse, the late Cenozoic paleomastozoology developed exponentially in Argentina. Many of the papers dealed with systematics. However, fossil mammals were also used for establish the chronological scale based on a biostratigraphic sequence of faunas mainly from the Pampean area. This scale proved valid for other South American areas. Besides, mammals were used as proxies for understanding the continental climatic evolution and, at the same time, biogeographic studies flourished. In recent years, many paleoecological and morphofunctional studies were carried out. Certainly, the last 50 years were the most productive time in Argentina since the pioneering work of Florentino Ameghino

Protection of Medium Voltage and Low Voltage Networks Against Lightning Part 2: Lightning protection of Medium Voltage networks

Overvoltages due to direct and indirect lightning events depend on several factors and are characterized by complex wave shapes. For this reason numerical codes have been developed, aiming at the evaluation of the lightning overvoltages on realistic distribution line configurations. These tools are of fundamental help in the protection scheme design and the insulation coordination of actual distribution systems, as well as in evaluating the overvoltages transferred through distribution transformers to the low voltage part of the system. The basic information for designers of lightning protection of MV and LV networks has been presented in the part 1 of this guide. This second part presents an application of the basic information to the lightning protection of MV networks containing overhead lines3. This part of the guide applies primarily to MV networks with system voltage in the range from 1 kV to 36 kV. It is relevant for higher system voltages as well, but it becomes gradually less relevant when the system voltage increases. It is thus not possible to specify an upper limit for the system voltage, but the guide should not be used for system voltages above 50 kV
