Novela Ganadora del Premio Internacional de Novela Corta La Esfera Cultural 2014. Algunos insectos s lo precisan para ser felices un foco de luz que les caliente la lombriz que guardan en su barriga. Pedro Ubi n es uno de esos insectos. Un perro que se orina de gozo por un mendrugo de pan de su due a, Marta, sin que le importe que le ponga los cuernos con el primero que pasa. Un viernes Marta no le quiere acompa ar al habitual encuentro del fin de semana a la casa de sus padres. Es cuando Pedro recobra los recuerdos de su infancia en el pueblo. Y se siente libre. Revive el primer amor, el despertar al sexo con Mademe Acuario, sus primeras rebeld as al amparo de su grupo de amigos... y el suceso que cambiar el destino que ten an planificado y so ado para sus vidas... Escrita con una prosa ir nica, tambi n con tintes de humor, nos hace reflexionar sobre algo tan abstracto y poco tangible como es la felicidad. Algo que las polillas, al parecer, s logran alcanzar.

Esta investigaci n hispano-italiana posee tres aspectos diferentes: la labor etnomusicol gica, el estudio de las conexiones con los Evangelios Ap crifos y la pr ctica del canto coral, constatando sus m ltiples aspectos saludables. En la labor etnomusicol gica, hemos recuperado y reconstruido piezas musicales del patrimonio popular devocional siciliano, en particular, de la ciudad de lcamo. Algunas de ellas estaban cayendo en el olvido. Gracias a esta labor nuestra, las hemos vuelto a difundir, cant ndolas en agrupaciones corales. En segundo lugar, las conexiones de estas canciones religiosas con los Evangelios Ap crifos; pues las letras de las cantinelas hunden sus ra ces en los Evangelios Ap crifos. En ambos aspectos, la herencia proveniente de Espa a y de las tradiciones espa olas est siempre presente. El tercer aspecto es el propiamente educativo y psicol gico, al constatar de manera cient fica, -bas ndonos en un muestreo muy amplio de coristas participantes de toda la isla de Sicilia-, los grandes beneficios para la salud que proporciona el canto coral.

Se estudia la influencia de la corrosi n en las propiedades de la aleaci n de aluminio A6060 T5, seg n el tiempo de exposici n en atm sfera salina. Se emplearon probetas de tracci n tras un proceso acelerado de corrosi n, con tiempos de exposici n desde 200 a 1000 horas, obteni ndose valores de dureza, resistencia, l mite de fluencia, elongaci n y estricci n. Se efectu un dise o experimental para evaluar la incidencia de la salinidad y temperatura sobre las propiedades mec nicas. Mediante t cnicas de microscop a se corrobora la existencia de defectos en la superficie de fractura, en condiciones de tensi n tras corrosi n. Empleando m todos gravim tricos y electroqu micos se determina el comportamiento de la corrosi n ante ensayos clim ticos acelerados. Se obtienen gr ficos de velocidad de corrosi n y de propiedades mec nicas en funci n del tiempo de exposici n en atm sfera salina. Los resultados evidencian la influencia del tiempo de exposici n al ambiente corrosivo en la plasticidad del material.

A multidisciplinary examination of the role of military forts in the Caribbean during the age of European colonial expansionA Fortified Sea illuminates the key role of military forts in the greater Caribbean during the long eighteenth century. The historical Caribbean, with its multiple contested boundaries at the periphery of European western expansion, typically has been analyzed as part of an empire. European powers, including Spain, the Netherlands, England, and Denmark, carved up the Caribbean Sea into a cultural patchwork. These varied cultural contexts were especially evident during regional and national conflicts throughout the eighteenth century and prompted the construction of more fortifications to protect imperial interests. The emergence of Anglo-American colonies during the eighteenth century and later the United States gradually altered previous geopolitical balances, redefining the cultural and geopolitical boundaries of the region. This collection of essays incorporates several historiographical traditions—from Spanish to American—all portraying the borderland as a breakthrough contested cultural, social, economic, and military boundary. A multinational roster of contributors approaches topics through a war studies lens as well as architecturally and historically, enriching a usually monothematic view. As well, discussion of cultural management of the historical remains of forts shows local communities trying to preserve and interpret the role of forts in society. Part I defines the training of military engineers in Spain. Part II engages with British defensive military plans and settlements in the Caribbean and shows how the British dealt with the rhetorical image of the empire. Part III clarifies the building processes of fortifications in Santiago de Cuba, Cartagena de Indias, Havana, and Veracruz, among other places. Copious period maps complement the prodigious research. The book will appeal to readers interested in the history of the Caribbean, military history, and European imperial expansion.

This book reflects the author’s years of hands-on experience as an academic and practitioner. It is primarily intended for executives, managers and practitioners who want to redefine the way they think about artificial intelligence (AI) and other exponential technologies. Accordingly the book, which is structured as a collection of largely self-contained articles, includes both general strategic reflections and detailed sector-specific information. More concretely, it shares insights into what it means to work with AI and how to do it more efficiently; what it means to hire a data scientist and what new roles there are in the field; how to use AI in specific industries such as finance or insurance; how AI interacts with other technologies such as blockchain; and, in closing, a review of the use of AI in venture capital, as well as a snapshot of acceleration programs for AI companies.

This book is about innovation, big data, and data science seen from a business perspective. Big data is a buzzword nowadays, and there is a growing necessity within practitioners to understand better the phenomenon, starting from a clear stated definition. This book aims to be a starting reading for executives who want (and need) to keep the pace with the technological breakthrough introduced by new analytical techniques and piles of data. Common myths about big data will be explained, and a series of different strategic approaches will be provided. By browsing the book, it will be possible to learn how to implement a big data strategy and how to use a maturity framework to monitor the progress of the data science team, as well as how to move forward from one stage to the next. Crucial challenges related to big data will be discussed, where some of them are more general - such as ethics, privacy, and ownership – while others concern more specific business situations (e.g., initial public offering, growth strategies, etc.). The important matter of selecting the right skills and people for an effective team will be extensively explained, and practical ways to recognize them and understanding their personalities will be provided. Finally, few relevant technological future trends will be acknowledged (i.e., IoT, Artificial intelligence, blockchain, etc.), especially for their close relation with the increasing amount of data and our ability to analyse them faster and more effectively.
Artificial Intelligence and Exponential Technologies: Business Models Evolution and New Investment Opportunities
Artificial Intelligence is a huge breakthrough technology that is changing our world. It requires some degrees of technical skills to be developed and understood, so in this book we are going to first of all define AI and categorize it with a non-technical language. We will explain how we reached this phase and what historically happened to artificial intelligence in the last century. Recent advancements in machine learning, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence technology will be addressed, and new business models introduced for and by artificial intelligence research will be analyzed. Finally, we will describe the investment landscape, through the quite comprehensive study of almost 14,000 AI companies and we will discuss important features and characteristics of both AI investors as well as investments. This is the “Internet of Thinks” era. AI is revolutionizing the world we live in. It is augmenting the human experiences, and it targets to amplify human intelligence in a future not so distant from today. Although AI can change our lives, it comes also with some responsibilities. We need to start thinking about how to properly design an AI engine for specific purposes, as well as how to control it (and perhaps switch it off if needed). And above all, we need to start trusting our technology, and its ability to reach an effective and smart decision.

This book deals with artificial intelligence (AI) and its several applications. It is not an organic text that should be read from the first page onwards, but rather a collection of articles that can be read at will (or at need). The idea of this work is indeed to provide some food for thoughts on how AI is impacting few verticals (insurance and financial services), affecting horizontal and technical applications (speech recognition and blockchain), and changing organizational structures (introducing new figures or dealing with ethical issues). The structure of the chapter is very similar, so I hope the reader won’t find difficulties in establishing comparisons or understanding the differences between specific problems AI is being used for. The first chapter of the book is indeed showing the potential and the achievements of new AI techniques in the speech recognition domain, touching upon the topics of bots and conversational interfaces. The second and thirds chapter tackle instead verticals that are historically data-intensive but not data-driven, i.e., the financial sector and the insurance one. The following part of the book is the more technical one (and probably the most innovative), because looks at AI and its intersection with another exponential technology, namely the blockchain. Finally, the last chapters are instead more operative, because they concern new figures to be hired regardless of the organization or the sector, and ethical and moral issues related to the creation and implementation of new type of algorithms.
