The purpose of ‘Numerical Analysis of Heat and Mass Transfer in Porous Media’ is to provide a collection of recent contributions in the field of computational heat and mass transfer in porous media. The main benefit of the book is that it discusses the majority of the topics related to numerical transport phenomenon in engineering (including state-of-the-art and applications) and presents some of the most important theoretical and computational developments in porous media and transport phenomenon domain, providing a self-contained major reference that is appealing to both the scientists, researchers and the engineers. At the same time, these topics encounter of a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines, such as chemical, civil, agricultural, mechanical engineering, etc. The book is divided in several chapters that intend to be a resume of the current state of knowledge for benefit of professional colleagues.
With more than two hundred species distributed from California through Texas and across most of mainland Mexico, Central and South America, and islands in the Caribbean Sea, the Phyllostomidae bat family (American leaf-nosed bats) is one of the world’s most diverse mammalian families. From an insectivorous ancestor, species living today, over about 30 million years, have evolved a hyper-diverse range of diets, from blood or small vertebrates, to consuming nectar, pollen, and fruit. Phyllostomid plant-visiting species are responsible for pollinating more than five hundred species of neotropical shrubs, trees, vines, and epiphytes—many of which are economically and ecologically important...
Diálogo desde varias ópticas y disciplinas sobre la calidad, escasez, contaminación y conservación de los recursos hídricos y sus efectos en los otros componentes naturales.
El objetivo de esta investigación fue caracterizar el modelo de ocupación y explotación del tramo urbano y fluvial de la presa El Cajón, en el municipio de Tonalá, Jalisco. Esta zona era parte del ejido San José Tatepozco, pero por convenio federal le fueron expropiadas 48 hectáreas, para después ser entregadas a la Universidad de Guadalajara. Con esto se realizó una interpretación y análisis del modelo, para valorar su contribución al desarrollo social local y sustentable, así como a la protección del medio ambiente de la zona. Todo esto a partir del desarrollo del proyecto del Centro Universitario de Tonalá (CUT), que en 2012 fue iniciado por la Universidad de Guadalajara. De esta manera, los resultados aquí expuestos se pueden utilizar para mejorar las acciones que ya se realizan y generar nuevas que contribuyan al desarrollo sustentable de la zona. La autora, Andrea Esperanza González Torres, es licenciada en Estudios Internacionales por la Universidad de Guadalajara, tiene la maestría en Planificación Territorial y Gestión Medioambiental por la Universitat de Barcelona (UB).
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
