Esta obra es una herramienta útil en la tarea de apoyar y divulgar el conocimiento de los temas que hacen a una adecuada comprensión del valor de la propiedad industrial e intelectual como agente promotor del crecimiento y de sus pilares fundamentales. En este sentido conviene tener presente que Latinoamérica es una región con un potencial importante de innovación que lamentablemente no se aprovecha acabadamente. Las herramientas que proporciona la propiedad intelectual son cruciales para la promoción de los avances científicos y tecnológicos, y de las inversiones, tal como lo ilustran los artículos en español e inglés que trae este nuevo volumen.
El presente volumen incluye, entre otros, los trabajos jurídicos seleccionados por la Asociación de Derechos Intelectuales (ASDIN) como los más relevantes entre los que compiten en el concurso anual organizado por esta institución. La propiedad intelectual continúa adquiriendo importancia creciente en países que, como los de Latinoamérica, han comenzado a tomar conciencia de la relevancia de impulsar la investigación científico-tecnológica, las industrias culturales y la innovación productiva. Es por ello que ASDIN fomenta el estudio de la legislación, las regulaciones en la materia y apoya la observancia de los derechos y obligaciones de modo que el sistema jurídico en la región se actualice, manteniendo un adecuado equilibrio entre productores y usuarios, impulsando el desarrollo de la creatividad.

Drug-Acceptor Interactions: Modeling theoretical tools to test and evaluate experimental equilibrium effects suggests novel theoretical tools to test and evaluate drug interactions seen with combinatorial drug therapy. The book provides an in-depth, yet controversial, exploration of existing tools for analysis of dose-response studies at equilibrium or steady state. The book is recommended reading for post-graduate students and researchers engaged in the study of systems biology, networks, and the pharmacodynamics of natural or industrial drugs, as well as for medical clinicians interested in drug application and combinatorial drug therapy. Even people without mathematical skills will be able to follow the pros and cons of reaction schemes and their related distribution equations. Chapter 9 is a hands-on guide for software to plot, fit and analyze one’s own data.
Winner of the PEN Center USA Literary Award for Creative Nonfiction • From the celebrated bestselling author of The House on Mango Street: "This memoir has the transcendent sweep of a full life.” —Houston Chronicle From Chicago to Mexico, the places Sandra Cisneros has lived have provided inspiration for her now-classic works of fiction and poetry. But a house of her own, a place where she could truly take root, has eluded her. In this jigsaw autobiography, made up of essays and images spanning three decades—and including never-before-published work—Cisneros has come home at last. Written with her trademark lyricism, in these signature pieces the acclaimed author of The House on Mango Street and winner of the 2019 PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature shares her transformative memories and reveals her artistic and intellectual influences. Poignant, honest, and deeply moving, A House of My Own is an exuberant celebration of a life lived to the fullest, from one of our most beloved writers.

Los puntajes de los ocho factores se desagregan en 42 sub-factores, los cuales reflejan las perspectivas y experiencias de más de 25,000 personas en todo el país, más de 2,300 especialistas en justicia civil, justicia penal, justicia laboral y salud pública (a quienes se entrevistó entre julio y octubre de 2020), así como resultados de una multiplicidad de encuestas y bases de datos de otras instituciones reconocidas en estos temas (fuentes terciarias).

A multidisciplinary investigation of contemporary Mexican cinema
Latinos are the fastest growing and largest minority group in the United States. In 2008, this group numbered over 47 million; by 2050, the population is expected to triple, reaching 133 million. Traditionally, Latinos have immigrated to large urban centers (e.g., New York, Los Angeles) that over long periods of time developed a complex infrastructure to receive new immigrants. Increasingly, new Spanish-speaking immigrants are moving into areas of the country previously unfamiliar to them. Although urban co-ethnic communities continue to be the destination of many newcomers, immigrants from Mexico, Central America, and South America in pursuit of low-skilled labor opportunities are settling ...
