En este libro titulado “Matemáticas para Ingeniería II: Cálculo diferencial e integral”, los autores entregan a sus lectores en 3 capítulos los conocimientos de cálculo diferencial y cálculo integral, los cuales son parte del eje de formación de ciencias de todos los planes de estudio de las carreras del área de ingeniería. Cada capítulo se desarrolla dando a conocer los aspectos teóricos de los temas abordados, además de presentar ejemplos algebraicos y contextualizados de la teoría del cálculo. En el capítulo 1, Límites y Continuidad, se presenta de manera intuitiva el concepto de límite de sucesiones y funciones, abordando el registro tabular y geométrico, para luego...
Este libro es el primero de la colección “Matemáticas para Ingeniería”, que se centra en el aprendizaje y consolidación de los conocimientos matemáticos previos necesarios para todo estudiante de ingeniería de la PUCV. Este, constituirá un apoyo para cursar las asignaturas de cálculo diferencial, cálculo integral y álgebra lineal. Es por ello, que este texto fue creado con el objetivo de ser la guía en el trabajo autónomo para los estudiantes de la asignatura “Fundamentos de matemáticas para Ingeniería” de la PUCV. Este texto cuenta con siete capítulos, comenzando con la unidad de “Números Reales”, para luego dar paso a “Sistemas de ecuaciones e inecuaciones lineales, Geometría Analítica, Funciones, Trigonometría, Números Complejos y Polinomios”. A lo largo de sus páginas los estudiantes encontrarán una exposición detallada sobre cada uno de los contenidos propios de cada unidad, los cuales están presentados con un lenguaje matemático accesible y acompañado con una gran variedad de ejemplos desarrollados y propuestos.
An in-depth look at the origin and evolutionary radiation of the synapsids. About 320 million years ago a group of reptiles known as the synapsids emerged and forever changed Earth’s ecological landscapes. This book discusses the origin and radiation of the synapsids from their sail-backed pelycosaur ancestor to their diverse descendants, the therapsids or mammal-like reptiles, that eventually gave rise to mammals. It further showcases the remarkable evolutionary history of the synapsids in the Karoo Basin of South Africa and the environments that existed at the time. By highlighting studies of synapsid bone microstructure, it offers a unique perspective of how such studies are utilized to...
Climate change has been a central concern over recent years, with visible and highly publicized consequences such as melting Arctic ice and mountain glaciers, rising sea levels, and the submersion of low-lying coastal areas during mid-latitude and tropical cyclones. This book presents a review of the spatial impacts of contemporary climate change, with a focus on a systematic, multi-scalar approach. Beyond the facts rises in temperature, changes in the spatial distribution of precipitation, melting of the marine and terrestrial cryosphere, changes in hydrological regimes at high and medium latitudes, etc. it also analyzes the geopolitical consequences in the Arctic and Central Asia, changes to Mediterranean culture and to viticulture on a global scale, as well as impacts on the distribution of life, for example, in the Amazon rainforest, in large biomes on a global scale, and for birds.
This volume surveys advances in the study of adaptive radiation showing how molecular characters can be used to analyze the origin and pattern of diversification within a lineage in a non-circular fashion.
African dinosaurs make a significant contribution to palaeontology, but they are often omitted from books in favour of better-known species like T. Rex. But their fossils have been discovered across the continent – from the Sahara Desert and the dusty plains of Kenya and Tanzania to the sandstone flats of the Karoo – and they are no less magnificent or fascinating than their 'celebrity' cousins. Famous Dinosaurs of Africa is written for children, but has broad appeal for anyone interested in learning more about dinosaurs. A brief general introduction is followed by short chapters on dinosaur species, among them those that were fish-eating, sociable, predatory, etc, as well as those that were cannibals, and the biggest meat-eating dinosaur of all time – the thread being that they all come from Africa. Details are given about where they were found, the meaning of their scientific names, and their size and diet. Spectacular, colourful illustrations bring the creatures vividly to life; photographs, maps and line drawings further illustrate the subject, while 'Unsolved' and 'Up close' panels add to the intrigue.
This book aims to quantify and discuss how societies have directly and indirectly benefited from ecosystem services in Patagonia; not only in terms of provisioning and cultural services, but also regulating and supporting services. Patagonia, a region that stretches across two countries (ca. 10% in Chile and 90% in Argentina), is home to some of the most extensive wilderness areas on our planet. Natural grasslands comprise almost 30% of the Americas, including the Patagonian steppe, while Patagonian southern temperate forests are important for carbon sequestration and storage, play a pivotal role in water regulation, and have become widely recognized for their ecotourism value. However, prof...

The seventh in a series of annual reports investigating the regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it, 'Doing Business' presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 183 economies--from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe--and over time. Regulations affecting 10 stages of a business's life are measured: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, employing workers, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts and closing a business. Data in 'Doing Business 2010' are current as of June 1, 2009. The indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms have worked, where and why.
Drawing from sources across the field of bone histology, Chinsamy-Turan paints a holistic view of the current state of the science and presents a fresh perspective on the relevance of the field to understanding the Dinosauria.
