Using zappers in Common Learning Spaces (Windows XP)

This resource is now obsolete and has been replaced by http://www.edshare.soton.ac.uk/5920/ This PowerPoint is an animated step-by-step guide that shows tutors how to use zappers in a teaching session. It covers starting the PC, distributing the zappers, plugging in the receiver, starting the software, running the presentation and managing voting, saving data at the end and collecting the handsets. It takes around 5 minutes to view.

Plan de Negocios: Stop And Go

Ante el crecimiento econ��mico y la transformaci��n del pa��s. Con el incremento de los flujos de comercio y el transporte, Bogot��, buscando reducir el impacto ambiental por la cantidad de veh��culos y reducir la congesti��n, ha decidido implementar pol��ticas p��blicas que restringen el ingreso de veh��culos de carga pesada por la ciudad. Esto crea una necesidad de espacios a las afueras de la ciudad, cerca de las zonas log��sticas y con la capacidad de ofrecer a los transportadores los servicios de alimentaci��n, parqueadero, alojamiento y reabastecimiento de combustible. Atendiendo estas necesidades, Stop And Go surge como proyecto de inversi��n que pretende constituir un espacio eficazmente equipado, con altos est��ndares de calidad y de bajo costo. En el presente documento se desarrolla el plan de negocios y de viabilidad, recorriendo la estructura de la organizaci��n, las caracter��sticas de los servicios ofrecidos, la propuesta de mercadeo y la viabilidad estrat��gica y financiera.

The cultural magazines as spaces of resistence in the lasta argentinian militar dictatorship. From the ���El Expreso Imaginario��� to ���El Porte��o���, 1976 ��� 1983

Although they were a few, there were places during the military dictatorship, which produced innovative cultural goods, in continuity with experiences of the artistic avant-garde in the sixties. Alongside the political and military repression ��they could articulate in their environment groups identified with alternative aesthetic ��codes, in opposition to the dominant culture in the period. The first one of the aces ��we examine in the article, El Expreso Imaginario is a privileged place where we may regard the origins of the traits of that social space. Towards the end of ��the dictatorship, another one like El Porte��o, marks a new era, even if we can ��establish various continuities with the first one. The circulation places of these ideas and practices were often taking place in cellars and other hiding places. Is ��that because they take the literal sense of underground in the eighties to groups ��who having been part of that story or not, were willing to receive his inspiring legacy. Between both magazines we �� fer identifies the transition from one state of the field to another, identifying the evolution of these zone of the culture field.

Delineating difference and spaces of resistance : reading the Nana���s Silence in Rosario Castellanos��� ''Bal��n Can��n''

A escritora mexicana Rosario Castellanos incorpora sil��ncios em suas obras de uma forma que permite ao leitor a questionar o pr��prio significado da ag��ncia e da natureza da subjetividade de uma protagonista feminina. Sil��ncios tendem a criar brechas no texto, iluminando as diferen��as sociais e raciais que a narra����o em primeira pessoa foge. Al��m disso, �� revelado que o sujeito se imagina em oposi����o ao sil��ncio de mulheres menos privilegiadas, e que realmente n��o existe um local em que o subalterno pode falar. Este projecto se centra em seu romance Bal��n Canan (1957), em que a bab�� Ind��gena de uma menina complica o desejo de ascender dentro da estrutura patriarcal da sua fam��lia mais privilegiada, como a menina descobre que o que faria sua vida confort��vel �� a causa da subjuga����o de sua ���outra m��e.��� O texto �� desenvolvido em torno de um desejo de falar a partir das margens, e h�� um esfor��o claro para dar voz aos subalternos. No entanto, a rela����o entre a menina e sua bab�� n��o �� nem rom��ntica nem idealizada; a presen��a da mulher colonizada resiste a marginaliza����o e ressalta que est�� sendo coberto no processo de desenvolvimento individual. Ansiedadesurge dentro da narra����o da menina como ela percebe seu privil��gio como membro da classe latifundi��ria, e a escrita navega entre diferentes manifesta����es de sil��ncio: o silenciamento da bab�� em uma replica����o de viol��ncia colonial, e a manuten����o do sil��ncio como uma barreira respeitosa.

Dunford-Pettis properties, Hilbert spaces and projective tensor products

We study complete continuity properties of operators onto ���2 and prove several results in the Dunford���Pettis theory of JB���-triples and their projective tensor products, culminating in characterisations of the alternative Dunford���Pettis property for where E and F are JB���-triples.

Spin spaces and positive decomposition of linear maps on ordered Banach spaces

Spin factors and generalizations are used to revisit positive generation of B(E, F), where E and F are ordered Banach spaces. Interior points of B(E, F)+ are discussed and in many cases it is seen that positive generation of B(E, F) is controlled by spin structure in F when F is a JBW-algebra.

Performance evaluation of wall mounted convector for pre-heating naturally ventilated spaces

This paper presents the results of performance monitoring under real winter weather conditions, controlled laboratory testing and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of a wall mounted ventilation air inlet heat convector. For real winter weather monitoring, the wall-mounted convector was installed in a laboratory room of the Engineering Building of the School of Construction Management and Engineering. Air and hot water temperatures and air speeds were measured at the entrance to the convector and in the room. The hot water temperature was controlled at 40, 60 and 80 ��C. The monitoring results were later used as boundary conditions for a CFD simulation to investigate the air movement in the room. Controlled laboratory testing was conducted in laboratories at the University of Reading, UK and at Wetterstad Consultancy, Sweden. The results of the performance investigation showed that the system contributed greatly to the room heating, particularly at a water temperature of 80 ��C. Also adequate fresh air was supplied to the room. Such a system is able to provide an energy efficient method of eliminating problems associated with cold winter draughts.
