Inter-Laboratory Comparison on Indoor Radon Measurements under Field Conditions
The Radon Group from the University of Cantabria in Spain organized, in old uranium mine, a new inter-laboratory performance exercise to measure radon indoors exposure and external gamma radiation, with changing parameters of temperature, pressure and humidity. In this book are shown the results of the inter-comparison as well as discussions of the achieved results in which were involved 41 laboratories from different European countries.
Prevention, Detection and Response to Nuclear and Radiological Threats
Stemming from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, this book asserts that no single institution or country possesses all the resources to effectively address radiological and nuclear threats. Moreover, the book asserts that fundamental scientific challenges must be overcome to achieve new and improved technologies. In response, the book sets forth research strategies that advance the ability to counter nuclear and radiological threats.
International Intercomparison Exercises on Natural Radiation Measurements under Field Conditions
The main objective of this event was to test different instruments and detectors for the measurements of radon gas and external gamma radiation (dose rate) in real conditions in a place where the levels of natural radiation are quite high (an old uranium mine). The activities carried out consisted not only in the practical exercises but also in different lectures given by intenational experts from different fields of natural radioactivity who are recognized worldwide. A total number of 45 recognised international participant institutions (universities, reference laboratories and commercial companies) took part and this report presents the main results obtained in all the exercises.

Madrid
The miraculous story of Madrid—how a village became a great world city For centuries Madrid was an insignificant settlement on the central Iberian plateau. Under its Muslim rulers the town was fortified and enlarged, but even after the Reconquista it remained secondary to nearby Toledo. But Madrid’s fortunes dramatically shifted in the sixteenth century, becoming the centre of a vast global empire. Luke Stegemann tells the surprising story of Madrid’s flourishing, and its outsize influence across the world. From Cervantes and Quevedo to Velázquez and Goya, Spain’s capital has been home to some of Europe’s most influential artists and thinkers. It formed a vital link between Europe and the Americas and became a cauldron of political dissent—not least during the Spanish Civil War, when the city was on the frontline in the fight against fascism. Stegemann places Madrid and its people in global context, showing how the city—fast overtaking Barcelona as a centre of international finance and cultural tourism—has become a melting pot at the heart of Europe and the wider Hispanic world.
Reception and Renewal in Modern Spanish Theatre, 1939-1963
The book constitutes the first attempt to provide an overview of the reception of foreign drama in Spain during the Franco dictatorship. John London analyses performance, stage design, translation, censorship, and critical reviews in relation to the works of many authors, including Noel Coward, Arthur Miller, Eugene Ionesco, and Samuel Beckett. He compares the original reception of these dramatists with the treatment they were given in Spain. However, his study is also a reassessment of the Spanish drama of the period. Dr London argues that only by tracing the reception of non-Spanish drama can we understand the praise lavished on playwrights such as Antonio Buero Vallejo and Alfonso Sastre, alongside the simultaneous rejection of Spanish avant-garde styles. A concluding reinterpretation of the early plays of Fernando Arrabal indicates the richness of an alternative route largely ignored in histories of Spanish theatre.
La justicia en el reino de España.
Esta obra hace un estudio de la Justicia en España en los distintos periodos de su historia, con la intención de mostrar al lector los problemas y los logros de la Administración de Justicia en cada periodo, para hacer reflexionar al mismo de la dificultad que ha supuesto la construcción del poder o administración de justicia en España, ya que ni siquiera estos conceptos son pacíficos, y lo mucho que queda para acabar de terminar la construcción judicial.El libro hace primero un estudio pormenorizado de la Justicia en el Antiguo Régimen. A continuación, en el segundo de los apartados referentes a la evolución histórica de los tribunales en España y sus problemas, se adentra en e...
Intercomparación de monitores de gas radón en condiciones de campo
Trata esta obra de los resultados, y su posterior análisis, de las mediciones realizadas en el laboratorio de radiación natural de la mina de uranio de Saelices del Chico (Salamanca) en el 2015, organizadas por el Grupo Radón de la Universidad de Cantabria, en la que tomaron parte 25 instituciones tanto de universidades como entidades públicas, empresas privadas o particulares. Los ejercicios de intercomparación son una herramienta muy útil para detectar problemas en las medidas y poder ejecutar las acciones correctoras correspondientes. Del mismo modo, sirven como herramienta para poder calibrar instrumentos frente a patrones internacionales.
