This book is dedicated to the study of an aeroelastic phenomenon of cable supported long span bridges known as flutter, and proposes very innovative design methodologies, such as sensitivity analysis and optimization techniques, already utilized successfully in automobile and aerospace industries. The topic of long-span suspension and cable-stayed bridges is currently of great importance. These types of bridge pose great technical difficulties due to their slenderness and often great dimension. Therefore, these bridges tend to have problems caused by natural forces such as wind loads, some of which we have witnessed in our history, and we are currently seeing a very high incidence of bridge ...

Durante la Baja Edad Media, la necesidad de contar con lana adecuada para fabricar los tejidos de altísima calidad, que eran vitales para el gran comercio europeo, estimuló la producción en Aragón, que contaba con enormes recursos naturales para ello. Esta obra describe la forma en que el reino se convirtió en foco de atracción de mercaderes de toda Europa que compraban lana masivamente y favorecían la expansión de una ganadería lanar que aseguró la riqueza del reino aragonés y de sus gentes. Vestir al desnudo, pero también diferenciar a los ricos de los pobres: la lana era fundamental para cumplir estos imperativos y los mercaderes pagaban con oro una materia prima indispensable. Se trata de un capítulo muy importante de la historia económica de Aragón, estudiado por primera vez de manera exhaustiva.
In Sexuality in the Confessional: A Sacrament Profaned, Stephen Haliczer places the current debate on sex, celibacy, and the Catholic Church in a historical context by drawing upon a wealth of actual case studies and trial evidence to document how, from 1530 to 1819, sexual transgression attended the heightened significance of the Sacrament of Penance. Attempting to reassert its moral and social control over the faithful, the Counter-Reformation Church underscored the importance of communion and confession. Priests were asked to be both exemplars of celibacy and "doctors of souls," and the Spanish Inquisition was there to punish transgressors. Haliczer relates the stories of these priests as...
