La planificación ambiental estratégica en los instrumentos de ordenamiento territorial. Caso de estudio: el Plan Regulador Intercomunal del Alto Aconcagua (PRIAA), provincias de San Felipe y Los Andes, V Región, Valparaíso, Chile

El artículo presenta la aplicación de un modelo de Planificación Ambiental Estratégica al diseño de un Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial en la zona de estudio, cuyo territorio se caracteriza por poseer un significativo patrimonio ambiental en términos de recursos naturales, paisaje, historia, etc. Junto a lo anterior, muestra un fuerte dinamismo económico por su localización en relación a la Macrozona Central de Chile, el Mercosur y el futuro corredor bioceánico. El objetivo fue diseñar una metodología que permitiera incorporar la dimensión ambiental en cada en cada una de las etapas características de elaboración de un Plan Regulador. El estudio ambiental se baso en tres etapas: diagnóstico ambiental, evaluación ambiental de alternativas y definición del proyecto, para lo cual se desarrollaron metodologías especificas apoyadas en sistemas de información geográfica (SIG) y modelos de simulación. La aplicación del modelo de planificación ambiental estratégica permitió obtener un Plan territorial con zonas y ordenanzas que protejan el patrimonio ambiental existente y aminore los impactos ambientales negativos de futuras actividades que se instalen en un territorio.

Discarge compilation from The Global River Discharge (RivDIS) Project

The Global River Discharge (RivDIS) data set contains monthly discharge measurements for 1018 stations located throughout the world. The period of record varies widely from station to station, with a mean of 21.5 years. These data were digitized from published UNESCO archives by Charles Voromarty, Balaze Fekete, and B.A. Tucker of the Complex Systems Research Center (CSRC) at the University of New Hampshire. River discharge is typically measured through the use of a rating curve that relates local water level height to discharge. This rating curve is used to estimate discharge from the observed water level. The rating curves are periodically rechecked and recalibrated through on-site measurement of discharge and river stage.

Implantación de la Red de Alta velocidad Ferroviaria en California. Tramo Fresno-Los Angeles-San Diego. Este artículo, tercera parte de la serie que describe la red de Alta Velocidad Ferroviaria de California (CHSRS), se ocupa de la línea Fresno-Los Angeles Airport-San Diego Airport, con el trazado propuesto en la Alternativa Missions Trail del Proyecto FARWEST, caracterizada por el paso directo de las montañas de Tehachapi, mediante dos grandes túneles de 27,5 Km (17 mile) y 25,6 Km (15,9 mile) de longitud. También por el emplazamiento de la estación terminal de Los Angeles, junto al Aeropuerto Internacional de Los Angeles y la sustitución de la circunvalación ferroviaria de la aglomeración urbana de Los Angeles, a través de Inland Empire, por el ramal Anaheim-Riverside, que da acceso a esa región, y que es cabecera de la futura Dessert Express a Las Vegas. The third of a series describing the California High Speed Railway (CHSRS), this article refers to the Fresno-Los Angeles Airport-San Diego Airport line, with the alignment as proposed in the Missions Trail Alternative of the FARWEST Project, characterized by the direct Tehachapi mountain pass through two large tunnels 27.5 Km (17 miles) and 25.6 Km (15.9 miles) long and also to the siting of the Los Angeles terminal station next to the Los Angeles International Airport and the replacement of the Los Angeles urban conglomeration railway by-pass through Inland Empire, by the Anaheim-Riverside branch providing access to that region and which is the head of the future Desert Express to Las Vegas.

Fostering English-taught higher education programs in a Spanish university: the "TechEnglish" innovative project

In recent years, coinciding with adjustments to the Bologna process, many European universities have attempted to improve their international profile by increasing course offerings in English. According to the Institute of International Education (IIE), Spain has notably increased its English-taught higher education programs, ranking fifth in the list of European countries by number of English-taught Master's programs in 2013. This article presents the goals and preliminary results of an on-going innovative education project (TechEnglish) that aims to promote course offerings in English at the Technical University of Madrid (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, UPM). The UPM is the oldest and largest of all Technical Universities in Spain. It offers graduate and postgraduate programs that cover all the engineering disciplines as well as architecture. Currently, the UPM has no specific bilingual/multilingual program to promote teaching in English, although there is an Educational Model Whitepaper (with a focus on undergraduate degrees) that promotes the development of activities like an International Semester or a unique shared curriculum. The TechEnglish project is an attempt to foster courses taught in English at 7 UPM Technical Schools, including students and 80 faculty members. Four tasks were identified: (1) to design a university wide framework to increase course offerings, (2) to identify administrative difficulties, (3) to increase visibility of courses offered, and (4) to disseminate the results of the project. First, to design a program we analyzed existing programs at other Spanish universities, and other projects and efforts already under way at the UPM. A total of 13 plans were analyzed and classified according to their relation with students (learning), professors (teaching), administration, course offerings, other actors/institutions within the university (e.g., language departments), funds and projects, dissemination activities, mobility plans and quality control. Second, to begin to identify administrative and organizational difficulties in the implementation of teaching in English, we first estimated the current and potential course offerings at the undergraduate level at the UPM using a survey (student, teacher and administrative demand, level of English and willingness to work in English). Third, to make the course offerings more attractive for both Spanish and international students we examined the way the most prestigious universities in Spain and in Europe try to improve the visibility of their academic offerings in English. Finally, to disseminate the results of the project we created a web page and a workspace on the Moodle education platform and prepared conferences and workshops within the UPM. Preliminary results show that increasing course offerings in English is an important step to promote the internationalization of the University. The main difficulties identified at the UPM were related to how to acknowledge/certify the departments, teachers or students involved in English courses, how students should register for the courses, how departments should split and schedule the courses (Spanish and English), and the lack of qualified personnel. A concerted effort could be made to increase the visibility of English-taught programs offered on-line.
