Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Sismicidad, entropía y Autómatas Celulares: patrones sísmicos de la Península Ibérica
El conjunto de la Corteza Terrestre puede ser considerado un sistema no lineal que comprende una red de superficies que deslizan e interacionan entre sí, que están sometidas a esfuerzos que se mantienen en el tiempo aunque su valor es variable. Cuando esta energía elástica es liberada de forma brusca, se produce un terremoto. En este trabajo se desarrolla un modelo sencillo para estimar probabilísticamente la peligrosidad sísmica en una región, donde la actividad futura de una porción de la Litosfera se calcula a partir de su actividad y la de las regiones vecinas, en el pasado. La energía liberada por los terremotos es tratada como una variable discreta, espacia ly temporalmente, y se intenta predecir, desde un punto de vista probabilístico, la energía liberada futura en las diferentes zonas en que se divide la región. El modelo está basado en la Teoría de Autómatas Celulares y la Teoría de la Información.
Modelado de la propagación de ondas sísmicas mediante un método de diferencias finitas
Cada día, los medios de comunicación hacen que nos resulten más familiares los desastres naturales, que conllevan grandes daños materiales cuando no humanos. Entre estos desastres naturales podemos destacar los terremotos. Grandes terremotos han ocurrido a lo largo de la historia causando un gran número de muertes y destrozos. Hemos observado que son impredecibles, aunque a la vez se les puede conocer con los medios adecuados. Con esta idea, se plantea este libro. En el texto se realiza un enfoque matemático de las ecuaciones que rigen el comportamiento de las ondas sísmicas. Estas ecuaciones son difíciles de resolver analíticamente para problemas complejos y es por ello por lo que ...
Un método de diferencias finitas para el análisis de la propagación de ondas. Aplicación al modelado de la respuesta sísmica de estructuras geológicas en entornos de computación en paralelo
La Tesis titulada “Un método de diferencias finitas para el análisis de la propagación de ondas. Aplicación al modelado de la respuesta sísmica de estructuras geológicas en entornos de computación en paralelo”, se organiza en una serie de capítulos comenzando con una introducción, la cual pone de manifiesto la necesidad de realizar este trabajo. En el Capítulo 2 se realiza una presentación de los fundamentos físicos que describen la propagación de las ondas sísmicas y que permiten comprender el comportamiento de las mismas, de manera que más adelante sea posible entender las soluciones que genera la metodología que se va a desarrollar. En el Capítulo 3 se presenta el est...
About Trees
About Trees considers our relationship with language, landscape, perception, and memory in the Anthropocene. The book includes texts and artwork by a stellar line up of contributors including Jorge Luis Borges, Andrea Bowers, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ada Lovelace and dozens of others. Holten was artist in residence at Buro BDP. While working on the book she created an alphabet and used it to make a new typeface called Trees. She also made a series of limited edition offset prints based on her Tree Drawings.
Acute Ischemic Stroke
This updated second edition of Acute Ischemic Stroke: Imaging and Intervention provides a comprehensive account of the state of the art in the diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke. The basic format of the first edition has been retained, with sections on fundamentals such as pathophysiology and causes, imaging techniques and interventions. However, each chapter has been revised to reflect the important recent progress in advanced neuroimaging and the use of interventional tools. In addition, a new chapter is included on the classification instruments for ischemic stroke and their use in predicting outcomes and therapeutic triage. All of the authors are internationally recognized experts and members of the interdisciplinary stroke team at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. The text is supported by numerous informative illustrations, and ease of reference is ensured through the inclusion of suitable tables. This book will serve as a unique source of up-to-date information for neurologists, emergency physicians, radiologists and other health care providers who care for the patient with acute ischemic stroke.
The Mosquito Bite Author
Originally published in 2011, The Mosquito Bite Author is the seventh novel by the acclaimed Turkish author Barış Bıçakçı. It follows the daily life of an aspiring novelist, Cemil, in the months after he submits his manuscript to a publisher in Istanbul. Living in an unremarkable apartment complex in the outskirts of Ankara, Cemil spends his days going on walks, cooking for his wife, repairing leaks in his neighbor’s bathroom, and having elaborate imaginary conversations in his head with his potential editor about the meaning of life and art. Uncertain of whether his manuscript will be accepted, Cemil wavers between thoughtful meditations on the origin of the universe and the trajectory of political literature in Turkey, panic over his own worth as a writer, and incredulity toward the objects that make up his quiet world in the Ankara suburbs.

The Last Children of Tokyo
Yoshiro thinks he might never die. A hundred years old and counting, he is one of Japan's many 'old-elderly'; men and women who remember a time before the air and the sea were poisoned, before terrible catastrophe promted Japan to shut itself off from the rest of the world. He may live for decades yet, but he knows his beloved great-grandson - born frail and prone to sickness - might not survive to adulthood. Day after day, it takes all of Yoshiro's sagacity to keep Mumei alive. As hopes for Japan's youngest generation fade, a secretive organisation embarks on an audacious plan to find a cure - might Yoshiro's great-grandson be the key to saving the last children of Tokyo?
