The failure detector class Omega (Ω) provides an eventual leader election functionality, i.e., eventually all correct processes permanently trust the same correct process. An algorithm is communication-efficient if the number of links that carry messages forever is bounded by n, being n the number of processes in the system. It has been defined that an algorithm is crash-quiescent if it eventually stops sending messages to crashed processes. In this regard, it has been recently shown the impossibility of implementing Ω crash quiescently without a majority of correct processes. We say that the membership is unknown if each process pi only knows its own identity and the number of processes in the system (that is, i and n), but pi does not know the identity of the rest of processes of the system. There is a type of link (denoted by ADD link) in which a bounded (but unknown) number of consecutive messages can be delayed or lost. In this work we present the first implementation (to our knowledge) of Ω in partially synchronous systems with ADD links and with unknown membership. Furthermore, it is the first implementation of Ω that combines two very interesting properties: communication-efficiency and crash-quiescence when the majority of processes are correct. Finally, we also obtain with the same algorithm a failure detector () such that every correct process eventually and permanently outputs the set of all correct processes.

El Hayedo de Montejo, uno de los bosques más emblemáticos de la Comunidad de Madrid, es también uno de los mejor conocidos y más estudiados gracias a un convenio de colaboración entre la Comunidad de Madrid y la Escuela de Montes de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). Seguimiento del clima, inventarios forestales, estudios genéticos o ecofisiológicos y procesos de dispersión son algunos de los trabajos que vienen desarrollándose desde hace más de 17 años. Gracias a ellos descubrimos que El Hayedo de Montejo es mucho más que un bosque de hayas.

We investigated how richness and composition of vascular plant species in the understory of a mixed hardwood forest stand varied with respect to the abundance and composition of the overstory. The stand is in central Spain and represents the southernmost range of distribution of several tree and herbaceous species in Europe. Understory species were identified in 46 quadrats (0.25 m2) where variables litter depth and light availability were measured. In addition, we estimated tree density, basal area, and percent basal area by tree species within 6-m-radius areas around each plot. Species richness and composition were studied using path analysis and scale-dependent geostatistical methods, respectively. We found that the relative abundance of certain trees species in the overstory was more important than total overstory abundance in explaining understory species richness. Richness decreased as soil litter depth increased, and soil litter increased as the relative proportion of Fagus sylvatica in the overstory increased, which accounted for a negative, indirect effect of Fagus sylvatica on richness. Regarding understory species composition, we found that some species distributed preferentially below certain tree species. For example, Melica uniflora was most frequent below Fagus sylvatica and Quercus petraea while the increasing proportion of Q. pyrenaica in the overstory favored the presence of Cruciata glabra, Arenaria montana, Prunus avium, Conopodium bourgaei, Holcus mollis, Stellaria media and Galium aparine in the understory. Overall, these results emphasize the importance of individual tree species in controlling the assemblage and richness of understory species in mixed stands. We conclude that soil litter accumulation is one way through which overstory composition shapes the understory community.

The endemic Canary Island pine (Pinus canariensis) has an effective strategy to counteract fire disturbance in the short term. It has a mixed strategy that combines the presence of serotinous cones and thick barks with the ability to re-sprout from the trunk after a fire, a rare trait in pine species. High frequency of fires in the Canary Islands is related to human action, as natural fires by lightning or vulcan activity have very low frequency; hence, the how and whys of the presence of serotinous cones in the species is still a topic of debate. Previous studies showed that the frequency of serotinous cones varies from stand to stand. Here, we analyzed the presence of serotinous cones at a local scale. We selected a Canary Island pine stand in the transition zone between dry and humid forests in the south of Tenerife. Branches were pruned from 20 trees in order to evaluate the presence of serotinous vs. non-serotinous cones by direct verticile counting on the branches. The opening temperature of serotinous cones was assessed in the laboratory. Percentages of serotinous vs. non-serotinous cones varied from 0 to 93 %, showing high variability between trees. Opening temperatures were very high (above 65 ºC) as compared to other Mediterranean pine species with serotinous cones

Se trata de uno de los cinco informes del grupo de expertos encargados de seleccionar las buenas prácticas de sostenibilidad urbana españolas para el Concurso de Naciones Unidas de Dubai de 2012 (los otros cuatro artículos han sido elaborados por Juan Luis de las Rivas, Margarita Ortega, Enrique Jiménez Larrea y Graciela Malgesini). A partir de un análisis general del estado de la sostenibilidad en España en relación con las buenas prácticas y, tras constatar la importante aportación teórica y práctica que han supuesto la serie de catálogos de buenas prácticas elaborados por el Comité Hábitat español, el artículo plantea la necesidad de propiciar una nueva generación de buenas prácticas y a la vez construir un nuevo marco de referencia teórico a partir de la práctica en el aquí y ahora, mediante un proceso de reflexión colectiva atento sobre todo a las dicotomías e inconsistencias percibidas como factores de bloqueo o deriva de la práctica de la sostenibilidad, sin perder nunca de vista la realidad de los procesos y tratando de extraer los ejes fundamentales para una Nueva Cultura del Territorio.

The concept of unreliable failure detector was introduced by Chandra and Toueg as a mechanism that provides information about process failures. This mechanism has been used to solve several agreement problems, such as the consensus problem. In this paper, algorithms that implement failure detectors in partially synchronous systems are presented. First two simple algorithms of the weakest class to solve the consensus problem, namely the Eventually Strong class (⋄S), are presented. While the first algorithm is wait-free, the second algorithm is f-resilient, where f is a known upper bound on the number of faulty processes. Both algorithms guarantee that, eventually, all the correct processes agree permanently on a common correct process, i.e. they also implement a failure detector of the class Omega (Ω). They are also shown to be optimal in terms of the number of communication links used forever. Additionally, a wait-free algorithm that implements a failure detector of the Eventually Perfect class (⋄P) is presented. This algorithm is shown to be optimal in terms of the number of bidirectional links used forever.

Nanofibrillar Al2O3–Y3Al5O12–ZrO2 eutectic rods were manufactured by directional solidification from the melt at high growth rates in an inert atmosphere using the laser-heated floating zone method. Under conditions of cooperative growth, the ternary eutectic presented a homogeneous microstructure, formed by bundles of single-crystal c-oriented Al2O3 and Y3Al5O12 (YAG) whiskers of ≈100 nm in width with smaller Y2O3-doped ZrO2 (YSZ) whiskers between them. Owing to the anisotropic fibrillar microstructure, Al2O3–YAG–YSZ ternary eutectics present high strength and toughness at ambient temperature while they exhibit superplastic behavior at 1600 K and above. Careful examination of the deformed samples by transmission electron microscopy did not show any evidence of dislocation activity and superplastic deformation was attributed to mass-transport by diffusion within the nanometric domains. This combination of high strength and toughness at ambient temperature together with the ability to support large deformations without failure above 1600 K is unique and shows a large potential to develop new structural materials for very high temperature structural applications.

En el contexto de las negociaciones de la futura agenda de desarrollo post-2015, se ha reconocido la necesidad de construir partenariados entre los diferentes actores implicados, y entre estos, el papel fundamental que el sector privado juega en la implementación y logro de los futuros objetivos de desarrollo sostenible. Por otra parte, una de los retos más imperantes de la futura agenda será la erradicación de la pobreza y el hambre, dos males que van frecuentemente de la mano. Con este contexto, el trabajo tiene con objetivo averiguar el impacto y las posibilidades que la construcción de partenariados con el sector privado puede dar para lograr el desarrollo del sector agopecuario en términos de desarrollo humano y sostenible. Pese a lo innovador del instrumento – partenariados publico-privados (ppps) en el sector de la agricultura – el trabajo no pretende responder a la pregunta inicial, sino hacer una revisión del estado de la situación y averiguar qué se ha dicho al respecto, tanto en la construcción de ppps como en las inversiones privadas en agricultura, para poder así entender el contexto y las posibilidades de desarrollo. Finalmente, el trabajo hace una propuesta de estudio de casos basado en la iniciativa grow África, para una posible futura investigación.

Una de las cuestiones que más me ha interesado durante el tiempo que he estado cursando estudios en el Instituto Nacional de Educación Física de Madrid, y posteriormente en mi actividad educativa, es la posible relación entre la condición, la capacidad o el rendimiento físico o deportivo y la capacidad del rendimiento intelectual, así como las matizaciones posibles dentro de este amplísimo y complejo tema. Muchas veces he tenido que escuchar de compañeros en las tareas educativas, afirmaciones rotundas sin ninguna base científica acerca de la relación positiva o negativa, aunque casi siempre negativa, entre la capacidad física e intelectual, muy a menudo hechos en base a un sujeto que suspende prácticamente todas sus asignaturas y sin embargo obtiene sobresaliente en su calificación de Educación Física. No siendo este un caso muy frecuente, a estos educadores no se les ha ocurrido pensar en que la causa de esa diferencia tan destacada en el nivel de calificaciones, pueda ser la motivación y no la capacidad, tampoco piensan aun en el caso de que lo que hiciese la diferencia fuese una cuestión de capacidades, el que se produzca en algún caso aislado no implica ni que tenga que ocurrir siempre ni que a nivel general exista una relación negativa. La observación directa de los niños componentes de los equipos de baloncesto del colegio en el que imparto mis clases, me ha hecho ver que la mayor parte de ellos obtienen buenos rendimientos académicos, pocos mediocres, y muy pocos realmente bajos. Estos niños han sido seleccionados para formar parte de los equipos fundamentalmente por su buena condición física, lo cual podría hacer pensar en una posible relación, aunque no necesaria, entre condición física y rendimiento académico. Sin embargo gran cantidad de factores aparte de la inteligencia pueden influir en el mencionado rendimiento. Llegando el momento de plantear la realización de mi trabajo fin de carrera, en gran parte mediatizado por todo lo expuesto anteriormente, decidí centrarlo en la posible relación entre los diversos factores de la condición física, ésta misma y la inteligencia general. Teniendo en cuenta que estos son los factores más primarios y por consiguiente los que menos se van a ver influenciados por otros.

Nowadays, there is a great amount of genomic and transcriptomic data available about forest species, including ambitious projects looking for complete sequencing and annotation of different gymnosperm genomes [1, 2]. Pinus canariensis is an endemic conifer of the Canary Islands with re-sprouting capability and resilience against fire and mechanical damage, as result of an adaptation to volcanic environments. Additionally, this species has a high proportion of axial parenchyma compared with other conifers, and this tissue connects with radial parenchyma allowing transport of reserves. The most internal tracheids stop accumulating water [3], and get filled of resins and polyphenols synthesized by the axial parenchyma; this is the so-called ?torch-heartwood? [4], which avoids decay. This wood achieves very high prices due to its particular resistance to rot. These features make P. canariensis an interesting model species for the analysis of these developmental processes in conifers. In this study we aim to perform a complete transcriptome annotation during xylogenesis in Pinus canariensis, using next-generation sequencing (NGS) -Roche 454 pyrosequencing-, in order to provide a genomic resource for further analysis, including expression profiling and the identification of candidate genes for important adaptive features.
