Uso de electrones acelerados para aumentar la vida útil de lomo de cerdo

La industria cárnica es la cuarta parcela industrial de España, detrás de los sectores de la dimensión de la industria automovilística, la del petróleo y combustibles y la energía eléctrica. Es el primer subsector exportador del segmento agroalimentario. En 2014, exportó un total de 1,53 millones de Tm de productos frescos y 148.552 Tm de elaborados, lo que representó unas ventas de 4.467 M€, con una balanza comercial muy positiva, específicamente del 356% en 2013. El sector cárnico es, pues, una industria estratégica que es necesario defender, auxiliar y mantener en constante innovación. Esta tesis es un intento de esta naturaleza referido a lomo fresco y adobado de la especie porcina. Ante la pregunta planteada por la industria: “¿Es posible aumentar la vida útil de lomo de cerdo fresco y adobado mediante la aplicación de electrones acelerados?”, subyacía la posibilidad de exportar carne fresca refrigerada a grandes distancias, como las requeridas para la distribución en países de la UE y terceros países y, en especial, cuando se atiende a países asiáticos, como Corea o Japón, donde, debido al carácter perecedero de la carne, se requiere el transporte en estado congelado. Bajo los principios de auxiliar, asistir e impulsar la industria cárnica española, se atendió a la propuesta y se acometió la investigación que se recoge en esta tesis...

Ciudad y pantallas digitales publicitarias: motivos, funciones y efectos de su implantación

Esta investigación analiza los motivos de la implantación de pantallas digitales publicitarias en la urbe y estudia las funciones y los efectos que desempeñan en la ciudad como soporte de publicidad exterior outdoors digital, para lo cual se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica con su correspondiente análisis de contenido. Los motivos de la implantación de estas pantallas digitales se centran tanto en los beneficios monetarios (Gómez y Puentes, 2011) y reputacionales a largo plazo para el anunciante (IAB, 2014), como en la mayor eficacia comunicativa de estas pantallas digitales a la hora de conectar con su público objetivo: el phoneur, un flâneur adormilado absorto en la pantalla de su smartphone (Luke, en Márquez, 2012) con el que las pantallas digitales buscan conectar más eficazmente (Lipovetsky, 2009) ofreciéndole una experiencia interactiva de la que podrá disfrutar gracias a su objeto de deseo más preciado, su teléfono móvil. Atendiendo al segundo objetivo de la investigación, cabe destacar que, ya sin haberse digitalizado, la publicidad exterior outdoors tiene en la ciudad una triple función estética (Olivares, 2009), cultural-simbólica (Baladrón, 2007) (Salcedo, 2011) y social (Pacheco, 2004) que, como es lógico, sigue desempeñando cuando se digitaliza. Igualmente, su uso descontrolado y masificado sigue ocasionando efectos contaminantes para el paisaje urbano, con todas las consecuencias que esto trae para el mismo (Olivares, 2009). Considerando esto, cabe afirmar que la presente investigación establece además aquellas funciones específicas que se derivan de la digitalización de este tipo de publicidad que se inserta en distintos soportes digitales y, más en concreto, en los diferentes tipos de pantallas digitales. Así pues, otorga a la ciudad un valor de marca añadido que gira en torno a la innovación y permite mejorar su imagen y reputación como ciudad (Vizcaíno-Laorga, 2007) (IAB, 2015) (Ortiz y Montemayor, 2015), a la vez que logra revitalizarla creando puntos de interés y espectáculos (Roberts, 2006) gracias a la interactividad y tiene como uno de sus mayores efectos la audiovisualización de la urbe (Muñíz, 2013), lo cual genera espacios cambiantes y mutables en pocos segundos (Silverstone y Hirsch, 1992) (Willis, 2009). Espacios en los que las pantallas, especialmente durante la noche, son las protagonistas de la arquitectura y de los espacios urbanos (Krajina, 2014), ya que estos pasan a un plano olvidado al adquirir todo el protagonismo esas pantallas digitales publicitarias que brillan en todo su esplendor (Venturi, 2006).

El surrealismo en la obra poética de Federico García Lorca

The main objective of this investigation is the retrieval of the study of possible Surrealism in Federico García Lorcás poetic work, a poet who enjoyed in his time prestige and international fame for decades, and still does. Numerous articles in magazines and newspapers of his time speak of his writings, literary activities and stand as a testimony of how well-regarded he was during his lifetime and even after his tragic murder death at the hands of fascists right after the outbreak of the Spanish civil war back in July 1936. Nevertheless, and for diverse reasons, literary ,social, as well as the extent of the studies, researches and abundant biographies about him, the study of Surrealism in all his works, such as in his playwrights for instance, has not been sufficiently expanded, and has been overlooked by the extensive bibliographies written about him. We have limited the investigation to his poetic works only. The extensive bibliographies written about him, is a fact that hindered and held back our efforts, as we had to resort to resources from different libraries, such as the Faculty of Philology of the UCM General Library, the Faculty of Information Science, the Student Residence, as well as the National Library. In addition to the analysis and commentary of his works, not to mention that current publications on him, various literary magazines and articles from the poet’s time have been consulted as well...

En torno a la imagen literaria de Alfonso V de Aragón: Fortún García de Ercilla y su traducción castellana del De dictis de Antonio Beccadelli. Edición y estudio

Alfonso V of Aragon (1396-1458), who won from his contemporaries the title “the Magnanimous”, became one of the most brilliant fifteenth century monarchs, not only because of being a shrewd politician and king of one of the main kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula, but also due to his cultural activity. Thanks to him the Aragonese territories were extended throughout the Mediterranean up to Naples, where he established a magnificent court that turned into maybe the most remarkable centre of intellectual vitality and development of Humanism. His patronage attracted a considerable number of leading poets of the period, as well as the most important Italian humanists. The presence of so many writers and outstanding scholars, together with the academic environment that the monarch encouraged, promoted an enormous literary production in four languages: Latin, Spanish, Catalan and Italian. Additionally, the valuable library gathered by the king and the Academy founded in order to spread knowledge illustrate part of his intellectual concerns. This way, through his love to literature and generosity to men of letters, Alfonso the Magnanimous boosted the culture of that time. The principal protagonist in the cultural activities of the circle of erudites formed around the sovereign was Antonio Beccadelli, called Panormita (1394-1471). He, one of the most prominent personalities of Italian Humanism, assumed the role of main royal advisor. His work De dictis et factis Alphonsi regis (The sayings and deeds of king Alfonso), which will be studied in our dissertation, became a very popular text about Alfonso’s personality, as a kind of biography based on anecdotes of the Magnanimous’ life by way of exempla to be imitated. The success of these episodes lasted for a long time and they are appreciated even nowadays. The work was valued as specula principum and had great impact in sixteenth century, when De dictis was republished several times and translated from Latin into Spanish. One of these translations, the one by Fortún García de Ercilla, caught our interest since it is in a manuscript signed by Ercilla himself and this version is still unpublished...

El teatro cómico de Enrique García Álvarez

Enrique García Álvarez (Madrid, 1883-1931) belonged to the group of writers who stood out in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth in what was known as “género chico”, label used to oppose this kind of theater to the dramaturgy considered serious. It was composed of brief and comic works whose intention was to generate a fun time for the spectators. Our author was one of the leading representatives and his numerous creations appeared profusely in the posters of the theaters per hour. In the twentieth century, he adapted to the new forms imposed on the scene. Despite his enormous fame at the time, nowadays Enrique García Álvarez remains completely unknown, not only in the eyes of the general public but also to the more knowledgeable circles of our literature. Studies of his dramatic work are almost nonexistent and basically limited to their collaborations with other authors who had more luck as Arniches or Muñoz Seca. The purpose of this thesis is, therefore, to complete a thorough study of the figure and production of Enrique García Álvarez, as well as its impact on the literature. The opening chapter is a reconstruction of the life and work of the author. In the following chapters, we proceeded to the analysis of structural features such as theme, time, space, and characters of his dramatic world. At the end of these pages, we have included a photographic appendix that illustrates some moments of his personal and professional career. We have also developed appendices to classify his librettos chronologically, by collaborator and by genre...
