El correo de Napoleón Bonaparte
“Cuando el honor y la voluntad del deber cumplido están\r\npor encima de los intereses de todo un pueblo...”\r\nTimoteo no puede dormir. Harto de dar vueltas sobre sí\r\nmismo, se levanta de la cama y descubre que una misteriosa\r\nberlina sin conductor se detiene frente a su casa. Intrigado, se\r\nasoma a su interior y lo que descubre le dejará atónito...\r\nEste es el enigmático comienzo de la novela que Fernando\r\nGarcía de la Cuesta ha confeccionado con sumo esmero, donde la\r\nficción de la propia trama enlazará con el hecho real en el que\r\nestá basada, que no es otro que el establecimiento del cuartel\r\ngeneral del ejército aliado, comandado por el general Wellington,\r\nen el municipio de Boecillo, tras la batalla de Los Arapiles (1812),\r\ncuando la Guerra de la Independencia está empezando a dar sus\r\núltimos coletazos.\r\nSe trata de una novela coral, homenaje a los habitantes de\r\nBoecillo, que se convierten, por mor del argumento, en los\r\npersonajes que protagonizan y desarrollan la trama.\r\nEste relato constituye una interesante mirada a la historia\r\ny a las costumbres del Boecillo de principios del siglo XIX.

Adaptive Function and Brain Evolution
The brain of each animal shows specific traits that reflect its phylogenetic history and its particular lifestyle. Therefore, comparing brains is not just a mere intellectual exercise, but it helps understanding how the brain allows adaptive behavioural strategies to face an ever-changing world and how this complex organ has evolved during phylogeny, giving rise to complex mental processes in humans and other animals. These questions attracted scientists since the times of Santiago Ramon y Cajal one of the founders of comparative neurobiology. In the last decade, this discipline has undergone a true revolution due to the analysis of expression patterns of morphogenetic genes in embryos of di...
Sample Preparation in Biological Mass Spectrometry
The aim of this book is to provide the researcher with important sample preparation strategies in a wide variety of analyte molecules, specimens, methods, and biological applications requiring mass spectrometric analysis as a detection end-point. In this volume we have compiled the contributions from several laboratories which are employing mass spectrometry for biological analysis. With the latest inventions and introduction of highly sophisticated mass spectrometry equipment sample preparation becomes an extremely important bottleneck of biomedical analysis. We have a goal of giving the reader several successful examples of sample preparation, development and optimization, leading to the success in analytical steps and proper conclusions made at the end of the day. This book is structured as a compilation of contributed chapters ranging from protocols to research articles and reviews. The main philosophy of this volume is that sample preparation methods have to be optimized and validated for every project, for every sample type and for every downstream analytical technique.
Genomic Elements in Health, Disease and Evolution
Over 98% of the human genome contains non-coding DNA sequences. For many years molecular biologists referred to this component of the genome as the “junk” DNA since it does not code for any “useful” protein product. Over the last years this notion changed significantly as scientists discovered that a large part of this DNA contains various genomic elements that have important roles in cell physiology. Genomic elements such as non-coding RNAs, transposons, splicing RNAs, DNA repeats and others were shown to play a significant role in regulating gene expression. In addition, all these elements were implicated to contribute in the pathogenesis or progression of various human diseases. I...
Advances in Artificial Intelligence - IBERAMIA-SBIA 2006

Quantitative Techniques in Participatory Forest Management
Forest management has evolved from a mercantilist view to a multi-functional one that integrates economic, social, and ecological aspects. However, the issue of sustainability is not yet resolved. Quantitative Techniques in Participatory Forest Management brings together global research in three areas of application: inventory of the forest variables that determine the main environmental indices, description and design of new environmental indices, and the application of sustainability indices for regional implementations. All these quantitative techniques create the basis for the development of scientific methodologies of participatory sustainable forest management.
