Preliminary data on horse mackerel (Trachurus spp) landings from Mauritanian waters

European fishery off Mauritania (one of the most productive and most intensively exploited regions in the world) targeted to small pelagic fish accounts for 30% of the total catches in the area. The Instituto Español de Oceanografía (IEO), through its Centro Oceanográfico de Canarias, follows up the activity of these vessels that land at Spanish port (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain), under the European Project Data Collection (Regulation (EC) 1543/2000). One of the target groups in this fishery is Trachurus spp, commercially named “JAX”. During 2008 and 2009, several samples of this group from these landings were analysed, and Caranx rhonchus was the second species of importance. The mixture of these species in the landings of this UE fleet should be determined to improve the data provided to the international Working Groups responsible for assessment of those resources.

Mn-doped II-VI quantum dots: artificial molecular magnets

The notion of artificial atom relies on the capability to change the number of carriers one by one in semiconductor quantum dots, and the resulting changes in their electronic structure. Organic molecules with transition metal atoms that have a net magnetic moment and display hysteretic behaviour are known as single molecule magnets (SMM). The fabrication of CdTe quantum dots chemically doped with a controlled number of Mn atoms and with a number of carriers controlled either electrically or optically paves the way towards a new concept in nanomagnetism: the artificial single molecule magnet. Here we study the magnetic properties of a Mn-doped CdTe quantum dot for different charge states and show to what extent they behave like a single molecule magnet.

La movilidad social generacional subjetiva y las expectativas sobre el futuro (Brasil, Rusia, India comparadas con España, Italia y Gran Bretaña)

La percepción subjetiva de la movilidad social intergeneracional (ascendente, inmóvil o descendente) es un elemento importante para comprender la percepción que los individuos tienen de la sociedad en la que viven. De hecho, es al considerar las expectativas sobre el futuro cuando mejor pueden comprenderse las reacciones sociales en el presente.
