    Piecewise smooth stationary Euler flows with compact support via overdetermined boundary problems

    Full text link
    We construct new stationary weak solutions of the 3D Euler equation with compact support. The solutions, which are piecewise smooth and discontinuous across a surface, are axisymmetric with swirl. The range of solutions we find is different from, and larger than, the family of smooth stationary solutions recently obtained by Gavrilov and Constantin-La-Vicol; in particular, these solutions are not localizable. A key step in the proof is the construction of solutions to an overdetermined elliptic boundary value problem where one prescribes both Dirichlet and (nonconstant) Neumann data

    Cubas Oil Plans Gather Speed with Foreign Aid Causing U.S. Concern\u27

    Cuba is accelerating its oil-sector investments to increase its production, triple its refining capacity, and tap potential reserves in its exclusive economic zone in the Gulf of Mexico through a strategy that is attracting foreign companies and motivating environmental as well as political concerns in the US.This year, the island will produce about 28 million barrels of oil. Cuba generated 21.4 million barrels in 2010, which in addition to natural gas represents 46% of its energy consumption. Oil supplied by Caracas, Havanas main political and economic ally, meets the rest of the country\u27s needs. Cuba will start drilling exploratory wells this year in its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the Gulf of Mexico under contract with Statoil (Norway), which has formed a consortium with Repsol (Spain), OVL (India), Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), PetroVietnam, Petronas (Malaysia), and Sonangol (Angola).\u2

    Frustración magnífica y drama puro: el teatro de Legom

    Get PDF
    The characters that populate the plays of Legom (Luis Enrique Gutiérrez Ortiz Monasterio) pertain to a family of literary beings who are unable to adapt to a dysfunctional society. This phenomenon links to the concept of the “pelado” featured in Cantinflas films and to the “utopia of the hunter” described by Zygmunt Bauman as a postmodern, hegemonic system that excludes and alienates. The tension between local and global is a fundamental aspect in the characters created by Legom. While the use of uniquely Mexican vulgarities establishes the “mexicanness” of his characters, their ideals and aspirations, albeit twisted and often misunderstood, are unmistakably transnational. Critics tend to use the term narraturgia to describe Legom’s dramatic production, yet closer analysis suggests that the playwright indeed strives to exclude the extra-dramatic in the creation and development of his characters

    A la población de alumnos de la Maestría en Arquitectura de la Facultad de Estudios Superiores (FES) Aragón de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), se le aplicó el Emotional Intelligence Test de Meyer-Salovey-Caruso (MSCEIT) que evalúa el Coeficiente de Inteligencia Emocional (CIE) a través de los siguientes cuatro criterios: percepción, comprensión y manejo de las emociones y si éstas son utilizadas para facilitar el pensamiento. Asimismo, se les aplicó los instrumentos de la Evaluación Multifactorial de la Creatividad (EMUC) de Sánchez y la Prueba de Solución Creativa de Problemas (PSCP) de Duarte. En los resultados derivados de la evaluación del modelo MSCEIT se observa un comportamiento normalizado y media aritmética de 93 (nivel competente). De la misma manera, los resultados de la evaluación conjunta de la EMUC y la PSCP presentan un comportamiento normalizado y media aritmética de 47.19 (nivel alto). El análisis paramétrico de correlación lineal, entre creatividad e inteligencia emocional, indica que existe una r = 0.07 y del análisis de tendencia polinómica de orden tres se obtuvo una r3 = 0.31. Para ambos resultados, el lineal y el no lineal, la correlación es débil, indicando que la relación entre el CIE y la creatividad, en la población de estudio, es muy bajaIn the Masters in Architecture students community from the Facultad de Estudios superiores Aragón has been applied the Emotional Intelligence Test from Meyer-Salovey- Caruso (MSCEIT) which evaluates the Emotional Intelligence Quotient (EIQ) through four criteria: perception, comprehension and emotion management, and if these are used for thinking. Besides, has been applied the Creativity Multifactorial Evaluation (EMUC) from Sánchez and the Creative Problem Solving Test (PSCP) from Duarte. In the same way, the results of the joint evaluation between EMUC and PSCP, reveal a standarized behavior and an arithmetic average of 47.19 (high score). The parametrical analysis of lineal correlation between creativity and emotional intelligence show that a r=0.07 exist and in the order three polynomic tendency analysis the result was r=0.31. For both results, lineal and nonlineal, the correlation is low, indicating that the relation between EIQ and creativity is low in the studied communit

    La ponencia se centra en la actividad del productor visual y su responsabilidad social como un profesional de la imagen y el como a través de proyectos de arte en el espacio público se pueden practicar y desarrollar las competencias que denotan la responsabilidad social, el pensamiento crítico, actitud de compromiso y respeto hacia la diversidad de prácticas sociales y culturales etc. La visión personal de cuál es el estado actual de la sociedad y nuestro entorno se puede convertir en un discurso artístico capaz de llegar a un espectador no especializado al sacar de su contexto galería-museo la obra de arte y llevarla al espacio público. Los temas abordados por los estudiantes durante el proyecto están inmersos en la realidad que viven y propician un puente con los transeúntes que puede invitar a la reflexión sobre cómo están las cosas en la ciudad, como actuamos o hemos dejado de actuar y lo importante de la participación ciudadana en las propuestas de cambio. El como vemos y afectamos nuestro entorno es la mayor responsabilidad social de todo ciudadano

    Primary bioreceptivity of granitic rocks to phototrophic biofilms. Development of a bioreceptivity index

    Get PDF
    A comprehensive evaluation of the primary bioreceptivity to phototrophic biofilms of several varieties of granite was carried out. The bioreceptivity of the granites was more strongly affected by the physical characteristics of the stones than by their chemical composition. Growth of phototrophic biofilms was strongly enhanced by high open porosity, capillary water content and surface roughness. The findings of the study enabled us to develop a robust and well-founded bioreceptivity index (BI) for granitic rocks. The proposed BI has two components: BIgrowth, which quantifies the extent of the biological growth, and BIcolour, which quantifies the colour change undergone by the stone due to the colonisation and which can be considered the bioreceptivity perceptible by the human eye. The index was fitted to a qualitative scale of 0-10 and can therefore be used as a decision-making tool for selection of appropriate lithotypes for building and/or ornamental purposes
