RIA amb sistema modular per a generar consultes dinàmiques a una base de dades

En aquest projecte s’han unificat les dades de l’empresa Solmania i s’han generat estadístiques i informes a diferents formats mitjançant una aplicació RIA implementada amb Adobe Flex. D’aquesta manera es pot fer un control dels paràmetres clau del negoci per ajudar a la companyia a aconseguir els objectius marcats d’una manera eficient. L’aplicatiu permet analitzar des de diversos punts de vista qualsevol tipus d’informació que genera el negoci i fer-ne comparatives de rendiment.

Side scan sonar image and geologic interpretation of the Ria de Pontevedra seafloor (Galicia, NW Spain).

High-resolution side scan sonar has been used for mapping the seafloor of the Ría de Pontevedra. Four backscatter patterns have been mapped within the Ría: (1) Pattern with isolated reflections, correlated with granite and metamorphic outcrops and located close to the coastal prominence and Ons and Onza Islands. (2) Pattern of strong reflectivity usually located around the basement outcrops and near the coastline and produced by coarse-grained sediment. (3) Pattern of weak backscatter is correlated with fine sand to mud and comprising large areas in the central and deep part of the Ría, where the bottom currents are weak. It is generally featureless, except where pockmarks and anthropogenic features are present. (4) Patches of strong and weak backscatter are located in the boundary between coarse and fine-grained sediments and they are due to the effect of strong bottom currents. The presence of megaripples associated to both patterns of strong reflectivity and sedimentary patches indicate bedload transport of sediment during high energy conditions (storms). Side scan sonar records and supplementary bathymetry, bottom samples and hydrodynamic data reveal that the distribution of seafloor sediment is strongly related to oceanographic processes and the particular morphology and topography of the Ría.

La Misión Indígena San Francisco Solano de Tacaaglé en las tierras fiscales de Formosa (1900-1950)

[spa]La Misión Indígena fue inaugurada en el año 1901, en la zona del río Pilcomayo del Territorio Nacional de Formosa, precisamente al costado de la concesión paraguaya otorgada a Elisa (Elizabeth Alicia) Lynch. Desde entonces, fue trasladada, primero a Tacaaglé en 1902, donde adquirió el nombre de Misión San Francisco Solano, y posteriormente, en 1915, al riacho El Porteño. Los misioneros franciscanos asumieron la tarea de formar a “colonos indígenas” tobas y pilagás para la producción de azúcar. Se analiza la evolución de la Misión franciscana y el impacto de la llegada del Ferrocarril de Formosa a Embarcación (F.C.F.E.). La documentación utilizada se encuentra en la Biblioteca y Archivo Históricos de la Provincia Franciscana de San Miguel, del Museo Conventual de San Carlos Borromeo ubicado en San Lorenzo, Provincia de Santa Fe

Presence of the Nearctic Water Boatman Trichocorixa Verticalis Verticalis (Fieber, 1851) (Heteroptera, Corixidae) in the algarve region (S Portugal)

This paper describes the presence of the nearctic water boatman Trichocorixa verticalis verticalis in southern Portugal. This species has been cited recently for the first time in Europe from individuals captured in southern Spain. This species, native to Atlantic coast of America, has also been cited from New Caledonia and South Africa, and has been found in the open sea. Two kinds of introduction are reported for this species: involuntary introduction with exotic fish, and passive dispersion through marine currents and severe storms. The possibility of this kind of introduction in Europe is discussed
