Polaritonic chemistry is an emergent interdisciplinary field in which the strong interaction of organic molecules with confined electromagnetic field modes is exploited in order to manipulate the chemical structure and reactions of the system. In the regime of strong light-matter coupling the interaction with the electromagnetic vacuum obliges us to redefine the concept of a molecule and consider the hybrid system as a whole. This thesis builds on the foundations of chemistry and quantum electrodynamics in order to provide a theoretical framework to describe these organic light-matter hybrids. By fully embracing the structural complexity of molecules, this theory allows us to employ long-established quantum chemistry methods to understand polaritonic chemistry. This leads to predictions of substantial structural changes in organic molecules and the possibility of significantly influencing chemical reactions both in the excited and ground states of the system.
A estrea do espectáculo A fonte do xuramento constitúe un fito trascendental na posta en marcha do sistema teatral galego. Ao longo destes 125 anos foron moitas as persoas, homes e mulleres, que traballaron a prol da construción e do desenvolvemento dese sistema. Este volume, co que a Escola Superior de Arte Dramática de Galicia inicia a súa propia liña editorial, en colaboración con Galaxia, quere ser un reconto desa peripecia e, ao tempo, unha homenaxe a todas as xentes de teatro de Galicia, polo seu esforzo exemplar e xeneroso.
This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art account of the field, reaffirming Iberian Studies as a dynamic and evolving discipline offering promising areas of future research. It is an essential tool for research in Iberian Studies.
This book is the result of collaboration between botanists and food chemists, with the purpose of improving the knowledge of the main wild species of traditional use as foods in the Mediterranean area, focus on ethnobotanical aspects, natural production, uses and nutritional aspects. One of the novelties of the book would be the publication of complete food composition tables of more than 40 species, which are not usually included in nutrient databases of foods. Many of the data included comes from the chemical analysis of representative samples of these species and other are compiled from the scientific literature. Since this topic had not been fully studied, this book provides an interesting tool to be used with the purpose of the revalorization of wild food species, preservation of their traditional uses, and also as alternatives to improve the diversity of modern Mediterranean diets.
O Teatro Circo -o primeiro grupo galego de Teatro Independente- desenvolveu a súa actividade entre 1967 e 1978. Neses once anos de existencia, o colectivo coruñés desempeñou innúmeras tarefas en diversos ámbitos relacionados co noso teatro, converténdose nun instrumento decisivo na restauración da dramaturxia galega durante o Franquismo e na súa posterior evolución. Así, esta agrupación non só virou un referente nos palcos, mais tamén se ocupou de aspectos como a formación integral dos seus membros á volta do feito teatral e o enriquecemento da literatura dramática galega -encenando textos de autores novos, reactivando pezas dos clásicos ou dando a coñecer no noso idioma o...
Made in Spain: Studies in Popular Music will serve as a comprehensive and rigorous introduction to the history, sociology and musicology of 20th century Spanish popular music. The volume will consist of 16 essays by leading scholars of Spanish music and will cover the major figures, styles and social contexts of pop music in Spain. Although all the contributors are Spanish, the essays will be expressly written for an international English-speaking audience. No knowledge of Spanish music or culture will be assumed. Each section will feature a brief introduction by the volume editors, while each essay will provide adequate context so readers understand why the figure or genre under discussion is of lasting significance to Spanish popular music. The book first presents a general description of the history and background of popular music, followed by essays organized into thematic sections.
Tal como el mesmo con certeza desexaba, a memoria de Fermín Penzol (1901-1981) está indisolublemente vencellada á Biblioteca e á Fundación que levan o seu nome, e que en 1963 deixou como perenne legado á cidade de Vigo e ao pobo galego. Unha personalidade definida polos trazos felizmente conxugados do galeguismo a toda proba, bibliofilia tan experta canto apaixonada, e unha abraiante xenerosidade, á altura do seu amor polo país galego, o seu idioma e a súa cultura. Un legado bibliográfico e documental que constituíu un firme alicerce para o desenvolvemento duns saberes galegos emancipados, especialmente no campo das humanidades.
Setting out the historical national and religious characteristics of the Italians as they impact on the integration within the European Union, this study makes note of the two characteristics that have an adverse effect on Italian national identity: cleavages between north and south and the dominant role of family. It discusses how for Italians family loyalty is stronger than any other allegiance, including feelings towards their country, their nation, or the EU. Due to such subnational allegiances and values, this book notes that Italian civic society is weaker and engagement at the grass roots is less robust than one finds in other democracies, leaving politics in Italy largely in the hands of political parties. The work concludes by noting that EU membership, however, provides no magic bullet for Italy: it cannot change internal cleavages, the Italian worldview, and family values or the country’s mafia-dominated power matrix, and as a result, the underlying absence of fidelity to a shared polity—Italian or European—leave the country as ungovernable as ever.
