Investing in Human Capital
Most higher education finance literature assumes that students cannot pledge their future earnings to finance their education in a free society. Investing in Human Capital, first published in 2004, challenges that assumption and explores human capital contracts as an alternative mechanism for financing higher education. Investing in Human Capital tracks the roots of the idea behind human capital contracts, discusses the beneficial consequences they would have on students and on higher education markets, and describes how they can develop in light of the innovations that have taken place in financial markets during the last decades. The book also explores the challenges - ethical and financial - that such instruments face and offers implementation alternatives that can bring about their existence in the context of a national higher education financing programme.
Yo, el vino
Este nuevo trabajo cuenta una historia grata; no es una simple narración, pues plantea una conversación entre amigos; en efecto el vino los acercará a la historia del hombre desde otra perspectiva, siempre amable. Seguirá el éxodo de la vid y del vino desde el Asia Menor hacia el Occidente, su consolidación en la Europa medioeval y después de allí, la gran travesía al Nuevo Mundo. Se establece una visión general sobre la geografía vinícola mundial, pero en particular sobre la geografía americana, al sur y al norte, y una perspectiva de la historia, el desarrollo y la producción vinícola colonial de la América española, así como los orígenes y la situación actual de la ind...

Cybernetic Revolutionaries
A historical study of Chile's twin experiments with cybernetics and socialism, and what they tell us about the relationship of technology and politics. In Cybernetic Revolutionaries, Eden Medina tells the history of two intersecting utopian visions, one political and one technological. The first was Chile's experiment with peaceful socialist change under Salvador Allende; the second was the simultaneous attempt to build a computer system that would manage Chile's economy. Neither vision was fully realized—Allende's government ended with a violent military coup; the system, known as Project Cybersyn, was never completely implemented—but they hold lessons for today about the relationship b...
Ciencia, filosofía y racionalidad
Este libro, escrito con rigor, soltura y claridad, trata de la aventura de pensar y el placer de conocer; de la situación intelectual de nuestro tiempo; de la ciencia, la filosofía y la racionalidad como dimensiones humanas que a todos nos atañen; de la visión del mundo que buscamos y del esfuerzo por alcanzar la verdad y la felicidad.

Pero no es oro todo lo que reluce, y hay que distinguir el trigo de la ciencia fiable de la paja de las meras especulaciones. La filosofía responde a nu...

Static and Dynamic Crack Propagation in Brittle Materials with XFEM
The aim of this thesis is the simulation of progressive damage in brittle materials due to cracking. With this aim, the mathematical crack model will be solved using the eXtended Finite Element Method for the spatial discretization and time integration schemes for the numerical integration in the time domain. The time integration schemes considered are the Generalized-? method, the continuous GALERKIN method and the discontinuous GALERKIN method.
