Ciencia de los materiales fantásticos
La originalidad de este libro radica en el eje de su planteamiento. Se trata de un estudio o descripción del pasado, presente y el fantástico futuro de los materiales, guiado por las sugerencias de las obras de ficción, es decir, de los materiales que aparecen, por ejemplo, en películas de superhéroes o cómics. En estas obras de ficción se describen a menudo gran número de materiales singulares, poseedores de propiedades igualmente únicas y fantásticas. Son estos materiales los que nos interesan, pues supone todo un reto conocer si en cierto modo ya existen, si podrían existir algún día, o si son completamente imposibles. Hoy sabemos que, controlando las características interna...
Excel para ciencia e ingeniería
¿Por qué científicos e ingenieros necesitan dominar Excel? Microsoft® Excel no es una aplicación especializada en tareas de ciencia e ingeniería. Sin embargo, es una de las herramientas más utilizadas por científicos e ingenieros. La razón no se debe a que Microsoft® Excel sea la herramienta más idónea para resolver los problemas científico-técnicos en sus múltiples campos. De hecho, puede decirse que las capacidades nativas de esta aplicación están a años luz de los paquetes comerciales de cálculo altamente especializados. La razón estriba en su omnipresencia y su versatilidad. El que todos los paquetes comerciales cuenten con integración con Microsoft® Excel es una mu...
Provinces and Provincial Command in Republican Rome: Genesis, Development and Governance
When the Roman Republic became the master of an overseas empire, the Romans had to adapt their civic institutions so as to be able to rule the dominions that were successively subjected to their imperium. As a result, Rome created an administrative structure mainly based on an element that became the keystone of its empire: the provincia. This book brings together nine contributions from a total of ten scholars, all specialists in Republican Rome and the Principate, who analyse from diverse perspectives and approaches the distinct ways in which the Roman res publica constituted and ruled a far-flung empire. The book ranges from the development of the Roman institutional structures to the diplomatic and administrative activities carried out by the Roman commanders overseas. Beyond the subject on which each author focuses, all chapters in this volume represent significant and renewed contributions to the study of the provinces and the Roman empire during the Republican period and the transition to the Principate.
Energy Nutrition in Ruminants
This book is intended to be a companion volume to 'Protein Nutrition in Ruminants' (1982, Academic Press), which emphasized both the role of proteins and new systems for their evaluation. Here the focus is on energy-yielding nutrients and problems involved in evaluating them. Nonetheless in both volumes there is explicit recognition of the interdependence of energy and protein nutrition. I have not attempted to review comprehensively all the literature relating to ruminant energy nutrition and must apologize to colleagues whose work is not fully reported. Where possible tables and figures are taken from the studies of our group at the Rowett Research Institute since, if for no other reason, ...
Spanish National Identity, Colonial Power, and the Portrayal of Muslims and Jews During the Rif War (1909-27)
Runner-up for the 2017-18 AHGBI-Spanish Embassy Publication Prize This book examines how anxieties about colonial power and national identity are reflected in Spanish literature, journalism, and photography of Moroccan Muslim and Jewish cultures during the Spanish colonisation of Northern Morocco from 1909 to 1927. This understudied period, known as the Rif War, is highly significant because of its role in shaping the identities that came into conflict in the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). Furthermore, the book makes a key contribution to Spanish colonial studies by offering a comparative analysis of Spanish representations of the Iberian Peninsula's cultural and historical relationship with Moroccan Muslims and Jews in this context, showing how conflicting visions of Spanish identity are portrayed through and in relation to them. ELISABETH BOLORINOS ALLARD is a Fellow by Examination in Modern Languages at Magdalen College, Oxford.

Absorbable Metals for Biomedical Applications
Absorbable metals have shown significant clinical potential for temporary implant applications, where the material is eventually replaced by healthy, functioning tissue. However, several challenges remain before these metals can be used in humans. Innovations and further improvements are required. This book collects scientific contributions dealing with the development of absorbable metals with improved and unique corrosion and mechanical properties for applications in highly loaded implants or cardiovascular and urethral stents.
The Retreat from Moscow
How well do we know the people we marry? Is it wrong to decide it’s time to be honest? Is love enough to save a family? In The Retreat from Moscow, William Nicholson, the celebrated author of Shadowlands, tells the powerful story of a husband who decides to be truthful in his marriage, and of the wife and son whose lives will never be the same again. Edward and Alice have been married for thirty-three years. He is a teacher at a boys school, perfectly at home with his daily crossword and lately engrossed in reading about Napoleon’s costly invasion of Moscow. She is an observant Catholic, exacting and opinionated, and has been collecting poems about lost love for a new anthology. Jamie, their diffident thirty-two year old son, is visiting for the weekend when Edward announces he has met another woman. With the coiled intensity of Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing and the embracing empathy of Edward Albee’s best family dramas, The Retreat from Moscow shines a breathtakingly natural light on the fallout of a shattered marriage.
