Este libro propone un acercamiento al urbanismo sevillano de los años sesenta a través del examen de los planes urbanísticos redactados por Pablo Arias para la capital andaluza. Desde 1960 Arias trabajó como urbanista en el Ayuntamiento de Sevilla y ejerció como profesor en la recién creada Escuela de Arquitectura de la Universidad Hispalense, donde obtuvo una cátedra de Urbanismo en 1966. En este sentido, fue una figura clave en la renovación del planeamiento urbano de Sevilla en una década de importantes transformaciones urbanas que, con sus luces y sus sombras, resulta crucial para entender la estructura de la ciudad contemporánea. Partiendo de una consideración del significado...
La consolidación de las grandes estructuras metropolitanas y su extensión hacia las periferias urbanas han dado lugar a una nueva cultura del hombre en relación con el territorio. La nueva sociedad postmoderna está construyendo una nueva ciudad vinculada a un nuevo paisaje, objeto de análisis de esta obra.
The Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence (MICAI), a yearly international conference series organized by the Mexican Society for Artificial Intel- gence (SMIA), is a major international AI forum and the main event in the academic life of the country’s growing AI community. In 2008 Mexico celebrates the 50th an- versary of development of computer science in the country: in 1958 the first computer was installed at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Nowadays, computer science is the country’s fastest growing research area. The proceedings of the previous MICAI events were published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) ser...
Este documento recoge la genealogía de algunas de las familias establecidas en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX en el municipio colombiano de Andes (Antioquia), fundado el 13 de marzo de 1852 por el doctor Pedro Antonio Restrepo Escovar (Medellín 11/09/1815 – Medellín 23/01/1899) en compañía de algunos cofundadores, entre los cuales se destaca a Francisco María Toro Montoya, conocido como “Pacho Toro” (Titiribí 04/10/1825 – Andes 19/03/1903). A esta comarca llegaron familias procedentes de Medellín y sus alrededores para conformar una población con unos índices de crecimiento demográfico muy altos, como puede apreciarse en las familias detalladas más adelante. En esa época...
Andean Structural Styles: A Seismic Atlas is a comprehensive reference illustrating the variability in structural styles and hydrocarbon traps that exist in the Andean chain. The Andean chain, stretching over more than 5,000 km (3,000 mi) from Venezuela to Argentina, contains a large number of sedimentary basins which have developed in a wide range of tectonic settings. Some of these basins are highly mature, with hydrocarbon production from Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic sedimentary sequences, while others are still underexplored. Andean Structural Styles: A Seismic Atlas covers topics including fold types, thrust faults, triangle zones, inversion structures, synorogenic deposits, and gr...
Due to the long presence of Muslims in Islamic territories (Al-Andalus and Granada) and of Muslims minorities in the Christians parts, the Iberian Peninsula provides a fertile soil for the study of the Qur’an and Qur’an translations made by both Muslims and Christians. From the mid-twelfth century to at least the end of the seventeenth, the efforts undertaken by Christian scholars and churchmen, by converts, by Muslims (both Mudejars and Moriscos) to transmit, interpret and translate the Holy Book are of the utmost importance for the understanding of Islam in Europe. This book reflects on a context where Arabic books and Arabic speakers who were familiar with the Qur’an and its exegesis coexisted with Christian scholars. The latter not only intended to convert Muslims, and polemize with them but also to adquire solid knowledge about them and about Islam. Qur’ans were seized during battle, bought, copied, translated, transmitted, recited, and studied. The different features and uses of the Qur’an on Iberian soil, its circulation as well as the lives and works of those who wrote about it and the responses of their audiences, are the object of this book.
