Only a few binary systems with compact objects display TeV emission. The physical properties of the companion stars represent basic input for understanding the physical mechanisms behind the particle acceleration, emission, and absorption processes in these so-called gamma-ray binaries. Here we present high-resolution and high signal-to-noise optical spectra of LS 2883, the Be star forming a gamma-ray binary with the young non-accreting pulsar PSR B1259-63, showing it to rotate faster and be significantly earlier and more luminous than previously thought. Analysis of the interstellar lines suggests that the system is located at the same distance as (and thus is likely a member of) Cen OB1. Taking the distance to the association, d = 2.3 kpc, and a color excess of E(B – V) = 0.85 for LS 2883 results in MV ≈ –4.4. Because of fast rotation, LS 2883 is oblate (R eq sime 9.7 R ☉ and R pole sime 8.1 R ☉) and presents a temperature gradient (T eq≈ 27,500 K, log g eq = 3.7; T pole≈ 34,000 K, log g pole = 4.1). If the star did not rotate, it would have parameters corresponding to a late O-type star. We estimate its luminosity at log(L */L ☉) sime 4.79 and its mass at M * ≈ 30 M ☉. The mass function then implies an inclination of the binary system i orb ≈ 23°, slightly smaller than previous estimates. We discuss the implications of these new astrophysical parameters of LS 2883 for the production of high-energy and very high-energy gamma rays in the PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 gamma-ray binary system. In particular, the stellar properties are very important for prediction of the line-like bulk Comptonization component from the unshocked ultrarelativistic pulsar wind.

Light sources with three spectral bands in specific spectral positions are known to have high-color-discrimination capability. W. A. Thornton hypothesized that they may also enhance color discrimination for color-deficient observers. This hypothesis was tested here by comparing the Rösch–MacAdam color volume for color-deficient observers rendered by three of these singular spectra, two reported previously and one derived in this paper by maximization of the Rösch–MacAdam color solid. It was found that all illuminants tested enhance discriminability for deuteranomalous observers, but their impact on other congenital deficiencies was variable. The best illuminant was the one derived here, as it was clearly advantageous for the two red–green anomalies and for tritanopes and almost neutral for red–green dichromats. We conclude that three-band spectra with high-color-discrimination capability for normal observers do not necessarily produce comparable enhancements for color-deficient observers, but suitable spectral optimization clearly enhances the vision of the color deficient.

Los medios de comunicación, cuyas funciones clásicas eran «informar, formar y entretener», están dando protagonismo creciente a la autorreferencia, que es una forma abierta o encubierta de autopublicidad. El medio compromete espacios (en la prensa) o tiempos (formatos audiovisuales) para anunciarse a sí mismo, disminuyendo espacios y tiempos dedicados a mostrar realidades (o ficciones) que nada tienen que ver con el propio medio, y que son el mandato derivado de su dimensión social y cívica. El artículo analiza este fenómeno en televisión, con estudios empíricos sobre el registro de 24 horas continuadas de programación en las tres cadenas generalistas con más cuota d e pantalla. La novedad del estudio es 1) el análisis de la autorreferencia también dentro de los programas (y no sólo en los segmentos de continuidad declaradamente autopublicitarios: promociones, cortinillas, caretas, etc.) y 2) la atención a la autorreferencia como estrategia de cross-promotion entre medios del mismo grupo multimedia.

Se analiza la zona de la playa San Juan, el Cabo de las Huertas y la Albufereta, situadas a 5 km al NE de la ciudad de Alicante, durante el periodo (1959-79), en el contexto de la Dictadura y con el único marco legal de la Ley del Suelo española 1956. Cabría decir que, en 1963, aparece la Ley de Centros y Zonas de Interés Turístico Nacional. El cambio de las condiciones nacionales de 1959 propicia la urbanización de la playa de San Juan en el cabo de Huertas de Alicante que, ya formaba parte de una ambiciosa propuesta de 1933. Juan Guardiola Gaya, arquitecto catalán, redacta el plan parcial de esta franja de terrenos frente al mar para convertirla en un barrio turístico autónomo. Resulta significativo que elementos tradicionalmente antiurbanos como la naturaleza, los espacios libres y la arquitectura aislada son los que definan esta nueva ciudad para las vacaciones. De ahí que durante mucho tiempo estos núcleos turísticos vacíos en gran parte del año y constituidos solamente casi por segundas residencias no hayan sido considerados auténticas ciudades. Obviamente estos núcleos, a diferencia de las ciudades propiamente dichas, eran ciudades-satélites alojadas en la periferia litoral y cultural. No disponían de equipamiento suficiente pero tampoco contaban con industrias. Por el contrario, tenían más espacios libres. Utilizamos el término ciudad, a pesar de su tamaño, porque estaban pensadas para el comercio del tiempo libre. Eran las otras ciudades, las del verano para las vacaciones, como este caso.

In this thesis a methodology for representing 3D subjects and their deformations in adverse situations is studied. The study is focused in providing methods based on registration techniques to improve the data in situations where the sensor is working in the limit of its sensitivity. In order to do this, it is proposed two methods to overcome the problems which can difficult the process in these conditions. First a rigid registration based on model registration is presented, where the model of 3D planar markers is used. This model is estimated using a proposed method which improves its quality by taking into account prior knowledge of the marker. To study the deformations, it is proposed a framework to combine multiple spaces in a non-rigid registration technique. This proposal improves the quality of the alignment with a more robust matching process that makes use of all available input data. Moreover, this framework allows the registration of multiple spaces simultaneously providing a more general technique. Concretely, it is instantiated using colour and location in the matching process for 3D location registration.

La superficie protegida ha crecido, en poco más de un siglo, de forma muy rápida, logrando alcanzar cifras significativas que, no obstante, pueden oscilar de forma muy notable entre unos países y otros. Este interés por proteger los espacios naturales responde, en el contexto actual, a la consecución de una amplia serie de fines de carácter científico, educativo, recreativo y socioeconómico. Como consecuencia de ello, ha surgido un nuevo escenario en el que determinados aprovechamientos tradicionales se están viendo afectados. La caza es, sin duda, uno de los mejores ejemplos de actividad tradicional que se está viendo perjudicada por este proceso. Con estos antecedentes, en el presente trabajo se analiza con carácter general la situación de los espacios naturales protegidos en Extremadura en relación con la actividad cinegética. Este análisis se lleva a cabo teniendo en cuenta que un tercio de la superficie regional está protegida por algunas de las figuras existentes y que, además, estos espacios se distribuyen por áreas en las que la caza ha sido un aprovechamiento tradicional que ha contribuido a mantener los espacios en mejor estado de conservación.

La ciudad y su arquitectura testimonian las culturas que modelan y remodelan sus formas y espacios en el tiempo. Toda comunidad tiene derecho a un ambiente urbano apto para el desarrollo humano sustentable. Desarrollo sustentable, es aquel que asegura la satisfacción de las necesidades del presente, sin comprometer los recursos con que generaciones futuras puedan satisfacer las propias (Naciones Unidas, 1987). Significa el uso racional y responsable de toda clase de recursos, especialmente los no renovables, como el patrimonio arquitectónico. La ciudad de San Juan fue reconstruida bajo influencias de los postulados del Movimiento Moderno tras el terremoto de 1944 que destruyó casi la totalidad de sus edificios patrimoniales. La arquitectura moderna es considerada internacionalmente un patrimonio a legar a las generaciones futuras. En San Juan, las obras residenciales modernas corren el riesgo de ser transformadas o demolidas ante un posible reemplazo por nuevas obras más redituables, por la dinámica del desarrollo urbano y la ausencia de protección que preserve este patrimonio. Es objetivo de este trabajo promover el reconocimiento, valoración y protección, de obras patrimoniales residenciales, exponentes de la modernidad arquitectónica local.

Os meios urbanos são espaços cada vez mais edificados, compactos e com solos impermeabilizados, onde a ausência ou reduzida presença de espaços verdes é uma realidade. Os elementos arbóreos, qualquer que seja a sua disposição, ganham cada vez mais significado enquanto representantes do meio natural na conservação da qualidade e conforto de vida nas cidades. Este trabalho desenvolveu-se a partir do tema das árvores em meio urbano, tendo por base os benefícios das árvores nas cidades, a sua distribuição espacial e o estado de conservação deste tipo de património. O principal fio condutor passou pela concepção do inventário do Património Arbóreo da cidade de Portalegre, com recurso às novas tecnologias da informação, nomeadamente os Sistemas de Informação Geográfica, capaz de se integrar nos sistemas homólogos do Município de Portalegre. O inventário à escala do perímetro urbano da cidade de Portalegre contabilizou 2087 elementos arbóreos localizados em áreas públicas, dos quais 1500 são árvores de folha caduca e 587 são perenifólias. Registou-se um elevado índice de diversidade para aquela área, cerca de 705 árvores/km2, embora as árvores estejam distribuídas de forma heterogénea pelo território considerado, percebendo-se com isso as zonas de carência de arborização. Com este inventário foi ainda possível conceber uma avaliação económica segundo a Norma de Granada, de 13 árvores isoladas e uma alameda com 38 indivíduos, assim como propor a classificação destes elementos a Árvores de Interesse Público. Anseia-se que este trabalho seja um documento informativo e sensibilizador de todo o público em geral, mas principalmente que se assuma como uma ferramenta útil aos responsáveis pelos espaços verdes da cidade de Portalegre.

Basalts in Hole 648B, located in the rift valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 23°N in crust estimated to be less than 100,000 years old, are mainly fresh, but small amounts of secondary phases are found on fracture surfaces and in alteration halos within the rocks. The halos are defined by dark bands 1-4 mm thick that have developed parallel to fracture surfaces or pillow margins and which in some cases have migrated some centimeters into the rock. The dark bands are the principal locus of secondary phases. The secondary phases are olive-green and yellow protoceladonites, of composition and structure intermediate between celadonite and iron-rich saponite, red (Mn-poor) to opaque (Mn-rich) iron oxyhydroxides, mixtures of protoceladonite and iron oxyhydroxide, and rare manganese oxides. These phases occur mainly as linings or fillings of open spaces in the basalt within the dark bands. Sulfides and intersertal glass are the only primary phases that can be seen to have been altered. Where dark bands have migrated into the rock, the rock behind the advancing band is almost devoid of secondary phases, implying redissolution. The potassium and magnesium in the secondary phases could have been supplied from ambient seawater. The aluminum in the protoceladonites must have been derived from local reaction of intergranular glass. The source of iron and silica could have been intergranular glass or low temperature mineralizing solutions of the type responsible for the formation of deposits of manganese oxides and iron oxyhydroxides and silicates on the seafloor.

Within children's geographies there has been an absence concerning sexuality and in particular how this can lead to the discimination and marginalisation of individuals. Similarly, within geographies of sexualities the demographic of non-heterosexual children and youth has been under researched, with studies concerning the space of the school being very limited. This thesis sought to address these absences by carrying out qualitative interviews with non-heterosexual individuals about their school experiences. The interviews showed the importance and variation of both physical and time-spaces in the (re)production of heteronormativities, and that the agency of the indiviudal was asserted through the use of negotiation strategies that sought to navigate or resist heteronormativities.

Introductory courses covering modem physics sometimes introduce some elementary ideas from general relativity, though the idea of a geodesic is generally limited to shortest Euclidean length on a curved surface of two spatial dimensions rather than extremal aging in spacetime. It is shown that Epstein charts provide a simple geometric picture of geodesics in one space and one time dimension and that for a hypothetical uniform gravitational field, geodesics are straight lines on a planar diagram. This means that the properties of geodesics in a uniform field can be calculated with only a knowledge of elementary geometry and trigonometry, thus making the calculation of some basic results of general relativity accessible to students even in an algebra-based survey course on physics.

Molecular interactions between microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and water were investigated by attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR/IR) spectroscopy. Moisture-content-dependent IR spectra during a drying process of wet MCC were measured. In order to distinguish overlapping O–H stretching bands arising from both cellulose and water, principal component analysis (PCA) and, generalized two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) and second derivative analysis were applied to the obtained spectra. Four typical drying stages were clearly separated by PCA, and spectral variations in each stage were analyzed by 2DCOS. In the drying time range of 0–41 min, a decrease in the broad band around 3390 cm−1 was observed, indicating that bulk water was evaporated. In the drying time range of 49–195 min, decreases in the bands at 3412, 3344 and 3286 cm−1 assigned to the O6H6cdots, three dots, centeredO3′ interchain hydrogen bonds (H-bonds), the O3H3cdots, three dots, centeredO5 intrachain H-bonds and the H-bonds in Iβ phase in MCC, respectively, were observed. The result of the second derivative analysis suggests that water molecules mainly interact with the O6H6cdots, three dots, centeredO3′ interchain H-bonds. Thus, the H-bonding network in MCC is stabilized by H-bonds between OH groups constructing O6H6cdots, three dots, centeredO3′ interchain H-bonds and water, and the removal of the water molecules induces changes in the H-bonding network in MCC.

This pilot project at Cotton Tree, Maroochydore, on two adjacent, linear parcels of land has one of the properties privately owned while the other is owned by the public housing authority. Both owners commissioned Lindsay and Kerry Clare to design housing for their separate needs which enabled the two projects to be governed by a single planning and design strategy. This entailed the realignment of the dividing boundary to form two approximately square blocks which made possible the retention of an important stand of mature paperbark trees and gave each block a more useful street frontage. The scheme provides seven two-bedroom units and one single-bedroom unit as the private component, with six single-bedroom units, three two-bedroom units and two three-bedroom units forming the public housing. The dwellings are deployed as an interlaced mat of freestanding blocks, car courts, courtyard gardens, patios and decks. The key distinction between the public and private parts of the scheme is the pooling of the car parking spaces in the public housing to create a shared courtyard. The housing climbs to three storeys on its southern edge and falls to a single storey on the north-western corner. This enables all units and the principal private outdoor spaces to have a northern orientation. The interiors of both the public and private units are skilfully arranged to take full advantage of views, light and breeze.

Knowledge of the plan competes with self-consciousness of experience. The less we are able to understand our spatio-visual experience by the abstract coordinates of the plan, the more we are thrust back into a lived experience of the building in duration. This formula, frequently unacknowledged, has been one of the main precepts of the experientialist modernism which arises out of the picturesque and which stands in critique of classical idealism. One of the paths to critique this formula is by showing that the attention to the experience of the spaces in duration is predicated on obscuring, complicating and weakening the apprehension of the plan as a figure. Another development in the practice of modern planning has been architects using a kind of over-drawing where human circulation diagrams or 'movement lines' are drawn expressively across the orthographic plane; thus representing the lived experience of buildings. We will show that these two issues are linked; the plan's weak figure and the privilege this supposes for durational experience has a corollary - experience itself demands to be visible in the plan, and this is one origin of the present fascination with 'diagramming'. In this paper we explore the practice of architectural planning and its theoretical underpinnings in an attempt to show the viability of a history of architectural planning methods.

Neste trabalho busca se estudar o ritual, na Santería ou Regla de Ocha, como espaço de criação e sustentação do grupo religioso. Aqui são demonstrados e interpretados argumentos que evidenciam a pertinência da Santería como sistema religioso que ajuda as pessoas a lidarem com as profundas mudanças sociais que aconteceram e continuam a acontecer na sociedade cubana nos diferentes períodos históricos. Isto, devido a que o ritual na Santería é um espaço dinâmico onde se experimentam as relações individuais e coletivas, sociais e religiosas, e onde se fornece pressupostos indispensáveis para as pessoas enfrentarem com os desafios que o cotidiano lhes reserva. A pesquisa destaca aspectos internos do ritual conhecido como o Wemilere ou Tambor de Santo; bem como a relação entre os sujeitos que participam no ritual, as suas motivações e os espaços litúrgicos onde a celebração acontece. Os aspectos abordados no trabalho não constituem uma apreciação definitiva sobre o ritual, mas uma aproximação a um sistema religioso de grande importância no contexto sócio-cultural cubano. (AU)
