ttˉ+Vt\bar{t}+V production in ATLAS

The latest ATLAS results for processes with a top quark pair and an associated vector boson are presented here. The measurement of the production cross sections for these processes is important for the direct determination of the top quark couplings to gauge bosons and for constraints on new physics models, in particular for models which go beyond the Standard Model regarding the mechanism for the mass generation.Comment: 5 pages, conference TOP201

Paleoneuroanatomy of the European lambeosaurine dinosaur Arenysaurus ardevoli

The neuroanatomy of hadrosaurid dinosaurs is well known from North America and Asia. In Europe only a few cranial remains have been recovered that include the braincase. Arenysaurus is the first European endocast for which the paleoneuroanatomy has been studied. The resulting data have enabled us to draw ontogenetic, phylogenetic and functional inferences. Arenysaurus preserves the endocast and the inner ear. This cranial material was CT scanned, and a 3D-model was generated. The endocast morphology supports a general pattern for hadrosaurids with some characters that distinguish it to a subfamily level, such as a brain cavity that is anteroposteriorly shorter or the angle of the major axis of the cerebral hemisphere to the horizontal in lambeosaurines. Both these characters are present in the endocast of Arenysaurus. Osteological features indicate an adult ontogenetic stage, while some paleoneuroanatomical features are indicative of a subadult ontogenetic stage. It is hypothesized that the presence of puzzling mixture of characters that suggest different ontogenetic stages for this specimen may reflect some degree of dwarfism in Arenysaurus. Regarding the inner ear, its structure shows differences from the ornithopod clade with respect to the height of the semicircular canals. These differences could lead to a decrease in the compensatory movements of eyes and head, with important implications for the paleobiology and behavior of hadrosaurid taxa such as Edmontosaurus, Parasaurolophus and Arenysaurus. The endocranial morphology of European hadrosaurids sheds new light on the evolution of this group and may reflect the conditions in the archipelago where these animals lived during the Late CretaceousPeer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Coping Strategies: Three Decades of Vietnam War in Hollywood

The Vietnam War represents a crucial moment in U.S. contemporary history and has given rise to the conflict which has so intensively motivated the American film industry. Although some Vietnam movies were produced during the conflict, this article will concentrate on the ones filmed once the war was over. It has been since the end of the war that the subject has become one of Hollywood's best-sellers. Apocalypse Now, The Return, The Deer Hunter, Rambo or Platoon are some of the titles that have created so much controversy as well as related essays. This renaissance has risen along with both the electoral success of the conservative party, in the late seventies, and a change of attitude in American society toward the recently ended conflict. Is this a mere coincidence? How did society react to the war? Do Hollywood movies affect public opinion or vice versa? These are some of the questions that have inspired this article, which will concentrate on the analysis of popular films, devoting a very brief space to marginal cinema.The Vietnam War represents a crucial moment in U.S. contemporary history and has given rise to the conflict which has so intensively motivated the American film industry.

The Empress of the French. Iconography of Joséphine de Beauharnais

El 2 de diciembre de 1804, Josefina de Beauharnais (Martinica, 23 de junio de 1763 - Rueil-Malmaison, 29 de mayo de 1814), fue coro- nada como emperatriz de los franceses en la catedral de Notre-Dame. Su esposo, Napoleón Bonaparte (Ajaccio, 15 de agosto de 1769 - Santa Elena, 5 de mayo de 1821), colocaba sobre su cabeza la réplica de la coro- na de Carlomagno ante la mirada del papa Pío VII (1742-1823). La que fuera vizcondesa de Beauharnais, de nacimiento criolla, llevaría el manto imperial durante seis años hasta la formalización de su divorcio de Bonaparte el 10 de enero de 1810.On the second of December 1084, Joséphine de Beauharnais (née Tascher de la Pagerie in Martinica; 23 June 1763 – 29 May 1814 in Rueil-Mailmaison) was crowned as Empress of the French in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame. Her husband, Napoleon Bonaparte (Ajaccio, 15 August 1769 – Saint Ellen, 5 May 1821) placed on her head the replica of the crown of Charlemagne before Pope Pius VII (1742-1823). e former vizcountess of Beauharnais, born a creole, would be wearing the imperial cape for six years until her official divorce from Napoleon on 10 January 1810

Mínguez, Víctor; Rodríguez Moya, Inmaculada. Napoleón y el espejo de la Antigüedad. Arqueología de las imágenes del poder

En Napoleón y el espejo de la Antigüedad, el Dr. Víctor Mínguez y la Dra. Inmaculada Rodríguez culminan una intensa labor investigadora iniciada con el proyecto I+D “Arqueología de las imágenes del poder. El arte imperial romano como modelo iconográfico en las Cortes Europeas desde el Renacimiento a Napoleón” (P1.1B2012-02), integrado en el Plan de Investigación de la Universitat Jaume I y dirigido por el Dr. Víctor Mínguez. Encabezado por la presentación del prestigioso doctor Philippe Bordes, uno de los máximos especialistas en historia del arte de la Revolución francesa y de la época del Imperio, este ambicioso proyecto elabora un exhaustivo recorrido a través del estudio de los modelos iconográficos del arte de época imperial romana y su herencia en la confección de las figuras del poder en el Renacimiento, el Barroco y el umbral del siglo XIX. Es así como, retrayéndose hasta la antigua Roma y atravesando los márgenes artísticos cortesanos de la Edad Moderna, esbozan el trayecto de las imágenes mediante el análisis pormenorizado de nueve estudios concretos donde concluyen el viaje de los símbolos occidentales de poder con el fin de entablar un diálogo entre ellosThrough “Napoleon and the mirror of Antiquity” Professor Víctor Mínguez and Professor Inmaculada Rodríguez put the cap on an intense research period initiated with the R&D project entitled “Archaeology of the images of power. The Roman imperial art as an iconographic model in the European courts: from the Renaissance to the Napoleonic times” (P1.1B2012-02). The project, led by Professor Víctor Mínguez under Jaume I University’s Research Plan, started with a presentation by Professor Philippe Bordes, a major specialist in the history of art during the French Revolution and the Empire. The aim of the abovementioned project was to provide a thorough analysis of the artistic iconographic models of the imperial Rome as well as their influence in the creation of powerful figures during the Renaissance, the Baroque, and the beginning of the 19th century. Finding the roots of their study in the imperial Rome and going through the court’s artistic trends in the modern era, the authors elaborate on the progression of images through the detailed analysis of nine particular case studies they confront and compare as an end to a journey among Western symbols

El Más Allá de las Sibilas en la traducción castellana de "Il Guerrin Meschino"

Resumen:El artículo presenta en primer lugar el estado de conocimientos sobre la difusión de Il Guerrin Meschino, centrado en la difusión de laversión italiana en su traducción española (Guarino Mezquino) y planteando una posible traducción perdida al catalán. El episodio delas Sibilas es descrito en su contexto, estableciendo una relación con la obra de Antoine de la Sale y con el Auto de la Sibila Casandrade Gil Vicente. El papel de la Sibila en la obra de Barberino deja de ser meramente religioso-alegórico para tomar un cariz netamentecaballeresco, como maga que ayuda al caballero protagonista.Palabras clave: Andrea de Barberino, Il Guerrin Meschino, Sibila, libros de caballerías.Abstract:The article presents firstly the state of knowledge of Barberino’s work, Il Guerrin Meschino, focused on the diffusion of the Italianversion and its translation to Spanish (Guarino Mezquino), and considering the possibility of a lost translation to Catalan language.The presence of Sibyls is described in its context, establishing a relation between those appearing in Il Guerrin and appearing later inAntoine de la Sale’s work and in Gil Vicente’s work’s Auto de la Sibila Casandra. The role of the Sibyl in Barberino’s work is no longerallegorical-religious, but chivalric as it becomes an aid element for the main character the knight.Keywords: Andrea de Barberino, Il Guerrin Meschino, Sibyl, books on chivalry

From HABITAT II to HABITAT III. Building with scarce resources in Latin America

Publicación que recoge el conjunto de experiencias y trabajos que el Dr. Julián Salas viene desarrollando desde hace décadas en temas de viviendas de muy bajo coste en Latinoamérica. Los temas se organizan en forma de seis capítulos monográficos, iniciando el recorrido una ordenada exposición de lo acontecido desde la Conferencia Mundial sobre los Asentamientos Humanos (HÁBITAT II) de 1996 hasta nuestros días y el concepto de habitabilidad básica como herramienta de lucha contra la pobreza en materia de hábitat. La influencia del suelo se enfoca a través de la realidad de las tomas de tierras urbanas, exponiendo el análisis de los datos de una encuesta realizada en 18 países latinoamericanos. La preocupación por la mejora de tugurios queda recogida por la exposición de las intervenciones de Ciudad Sandino (Nicaragua) y de Las Palmas en San Salvador. La presencia de los materiales está presente en la influencia en los análisis de los costes de la vivienda y en las ventajas de los que denomina como otros materiales en las soluciones para viviendas de muy bajo coste.

Urban mobility and carsharing: trends and threats on consumer behavior

[ES] Esta disertación da respuesta a una de las cuestiones más preocupantes a las que se enfrenta gran parte del mundo: la movilidad del futuro. En primer lugar, esta disertación se centra en la evolución del concepto de marketing a través de los años, y los resultados obtenidos determinan las posibles alternativas. También se considera que los nuevos modelos de negocio, especialmente centrados en las economías comunes, aportan beneficios a las tendencias actuales del mercado. Luego, esta disertación se sustenta en los factores (demografía, económica y protección del medio ambiente) que demuestran que el modelo actual de transporte puede estar orientado a aplicar ciertos cambios, ya que no es ni eficiente ni se orienta hacia el ideal de la "libertad de movilidad". Los servicios de coche compartido se consideran como una alternativa para minimizar los problemas actuales y la forma en que esto afecta a las políticas de la administración local, para mostrar que están reguladas y cómo las economías compartidas empiezan a tener un papel de cooperación importante en el día a día. En este estudio, se han considerado métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos de investigación. El análisis cuantitativo se centra en los resultados de una encuesta que mostró las principales inquietudes sobre la satisfacción de los usuarios con el uso compartido de coches. La encuesta fue elaborada en una empresa francesa, que ofreció una flota de vehículos compartidos a sus empleados como una nueva alternativa en lugar de recurrir a medios de transporte privados. El análisis cualitativo se centra en los datos recogidos por la interfaz de programación de aplicaciones (API) que Car2Go registró en la ciudad de Vancouver, mostrando las reacciones de los clientes de una flota de coches compartidos cuando una avería en el sistema de transporte ferroviario dejó una gran parte de la ciudad sin servicio durante horas hasta que se arregló. Como conclusión, a partir de los datos recogidos por los estudios de campo, se alcanzan soluciones para demostrar que el coche compartido es una nueva forma de movilidad que tiene un impacto positivo en el medio ambiente y que pretende beneficiar a las empresas públicas y privadas y a los particulares en un escenario a corto plazo.[EN] This dissertation gives answers to one of the most concerning issues a great part of the world is facing: the future mobility. First, this dissertation focuses on the evolution of the concept of marketing trough years and the results given determine the possible alternatives. It is also regarded that new business models, specially focusing in sharing economies, bring benefits to the actual market trends. Then, this dissertation is sustained by the factors (demographical, economical and environment protection) that prove that the current model of transportation might be aiming to apply certain changes as well as it is not neither efficient or drives to the ideal of freedom of mobility. Carsharing services are considered as an alternative in order to minimize the actual problems and how this concerns local administration policies, to show these are regulated and how sharing economies start to have a significant cooperative role in day-to-day. In this study, there has been considered quantitative and qualitative methods of research. The quantitative analysis is focused on the results of a survey, that showed the main concerns of user satisfaction to the carsharing usage. The survey has been elaborated in a French corporate, which offered a carsharing fleet to their employees’ as a new alternative instead of recurring to private means of transportation. The qualitative analysis focuses in the data collected by the application programming interface (API) that Car2Go registered in the city of Vancouver, showing the reactions of the customers of a carsharing fleet provided by when an breakdown in the rail transportation system left a great part of the city without the service during hours till it got fixed. As a conclusion, given the data collected by field studies, solutions are reached in order to prove that carsharing is a new way of mobility that has positive impact on the environment and aims for benefits of public and private enterprises and individuals in a short-term scenario.Santana Llácer, C.
