Hydraulic machinery such as turbines and pumps is widely used around the world. Related topics concerning design, operation and maintenance are of relevant interest. In this context, cavitation is a phenomenon to be taken into account, and this was treated in the XVIII IAHR Symposium on Hydraulic Machinery and Cavitation which took place in Valencia, Spain, 16th-19th September, 1996 and which was hosted by the Polytechnic University of Valencia.
This book contains the lectures given in the International Course "Improving efficiency and reliability in water supply systems", hosted and sponsored by the Menendez Pelayo International University (U.I.M.P.) and co-sponsored by Aguas de Valencia, the British Council and the EC Cornett and Erasmus programmes. The short course took place in Valencia (Spain) in November 1994, with an attendance of more than one hundred delegates. We must not only acknowedge and thank Dr. Joaquin Azagra, as UIMP Director, but also his collaborators D. Luis Moreno and Lidia Lopez for their support in the preparation of the Course and during the course taking place. UIMP sponsorship allowed us to assemble in Val...
During the past decade many countries in the world have experienced droughts, with severe impacts on water urban supply systems. Because droughts are natural phenomena, water utilities must design and implement drought management plans. This topic was selected for the International Course on Drought Management Planning in Water Supply Systems, which took place in Valencia, Spain, on 9-12 December 1997, and was hosted by the Universidad Internacional Menéndez y Pelayo (UIMP). The contributions in this book have been carefully selected and presented in four sections: Introduction Water Supply Systems Modernization Drought Management in an Urban Context Practical Cases (Israel, USA, Italy, Spain) To achieve a well-balanced approach, authors were invited from academia as well as from consultancies and water utilities, and have wide experience in the subject. The book is mainly aimed at water supply engineers, working in utilities and consultancies.

"Para que serve uma boa tese? Muito mais do que apenas apresentar uma ideia e demonstrar suas proposições, uma boa tese nos faz pensar, refletir, perceber algo diferente e novo. Uma boa tese nos faz questionar algumas convicções e, finalmente, ilumina nossas certezas. O Direito das Obrigações, notadamente as investigações acerca da vida e da morte dos contratos, tem encontrado, na prática, novos desafios, que instigam o jurista a seguir aprimorando a sua ciência. Já há muito se reconhece: existem mais coisas entre o adimplemento e o inadimplemento do que sonha nossa vã filosofia. O homem jurídico percebe variados fenômenos que acometem a relação contratual, muitos deles aind...
Los vínculos entre Masonería e Ilustración resultan amplios y consistentes. El afán por disipar las tinieblas que atenazaban a la humanidad mediante las luces de la razón relaciona a ambos movimientos. Los masones siempre se sintieron obreros de esa causa, lo que se concretó en significativas coincidencias personales e ideológicas con los ilustrados. Pero la masonería española también incorporó a lo largo de su trayectoria otras influencias ideológicas, e interpretó los grandes principios del ideario ilustrado con diferentes matices. El resultado de este proceso, del que se ofrece un panorama amplio y bien documentado en esta obra, constituye una realidad con ciertos claroscuros, en la que no se dieron planteamientos uniformes, sino que fue más frecuente de lo que cabría suponer la diversidad de iniciativas, incluso con cierto grado de disparidad.
