Irreversibility and Dissipation in Microscopic Systems
After an insightful introductory part on recent developments in the thermodynamics of small systems, the author presents his contribution to a long-standing problem, namely the connection between irreversibility and dissipation. He develops a method based on recent results on fluctuation theorems that is able to estimate dissipation using only information acquired in a single, sufficiently long, trajectory of a stationary nonequilibrium process. This part ends with a remarkable application of the method to the analysis of biological data, in this case, the fluctuations of a hair bundle. The third part studies the energetics of systems that undergo symmetry breaking transitions. These theoretical ideas lead to, among other things, an experimental realization of a Szilard engine using manipulated colloids. This work has the potential for important applications ranging from the analysis of biological media to the design of novel artificial nano-machines.
Colombia y Corea del Sur: hacia una asociación estratégica de cooperación
La presente obra es fruto del trabajo conjunto entre el Centro de Estudios de Asia Pacífico-CEAP, de la Universidad EAFIT de Medellín, y el Centro de Estudios sobre Globalización e Integración-CEGLI, del Colegio de Estudios Superiores de Administración-CESA, de Bogotá. Se trata del sexto volumen de la colección Globalización e Integración, publicada por la Editorial CESA, la cual explora con propósitos divulgativos orientados principalmente a los empresarios, las posibilidades y condiciones de las negociaciones comerciales adelantadas recientemente por el gobierno colombiano.

Rock Hollow
‘IT WAS A LARGE HEAVY SILVER AND ANCIENT-LOOKING KEY. IT WAS THE SORT OF KEY THAT OPENED A TREASURE CHEST OR UNLOCKED DOORS TO SECRET CHAMBERS.’ There is nothing exciting about young Victoria Plant’s life. But this is all about to change with the finding of an old key. The key unlocks the door to a secret and supernatural world. Victoria encounters the wicked Count De Ville and his faithful black cat; they are as old as the hills and transcend time to bring about the end of what still remains of the Rock Hollow clan. Can Victoria help to defeat the dastardly army of fiends before it is too late? Bittersweet and thought-provoking Rock Hollow is set in 1976 on the high moorlands that surround the small Yorkshire village of Riddleshaw. The book follows the awakening of differences, experienced by a young autistic girl. Victoria’s journey is enlightening, sometimes sad and more than often amusing.
