Atlas of abundance and distribution patterns of ichthyoplankton from the Northeast Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea ecosystems: based on research conducted by the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (1972–1996)

This regional atlas summarizes and illustrates the distribution and abundance patterns of fish eggs and larvae of 102 taxa within 34 families found in the Northeast Pacific Ocean including the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, and U.S. west coast ecosystems. Data were collected over a 20+ year period (1972–1996) by the Recruitment Processes Program of the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC). Ichthyoplankton catch records used in this atlas were generated from 11,379 tows taken during 100 cruises. For each taxon, general life history data are briefly summarized from the literature. Published information on distribution patterns of eggs and larvae are reviewed for the study area. Data from AFSC ichthyoplankton collections were combined to produce an average spatial distribution for each taxon. These data were also used to estimate mean abundance and percent occurrence by year and month, and relative abundance by larval length and season. Abundance from each tow was measured as catch per 10 m2 surface area. A larval distribution and abundance map was produced with a geographic information system using ArcInfo software. For taxa with identifiable pelagic eggs, distribution maps showing presence or absence of eggs are presented. Presence or absence of adults in the study area is mapped based on recent literature and data from AFSC groundfish surveys. Distributional records for adults and early life history stages revealed several new range extensions. (PDF file contains 288 pages.)

TA-CENTER 125 mandrinaketa buruaren zinematika eta erresistentzia ikerketa

Proiektu honen helburua Bilboko Ingeniaritza Eskolako tailer mekanikoan dagoen d??andrea etxeko ta-center 125 mandrinaketa buruaren zinematika eta erresistentzia ikerketa izango da.Lehenik d??andrea etxeak pasatako planoekin,buruaren modelizazioa egingo da hiru dimentsiotan, mekanismoaren funtzionamendua ulertzeko solid works 2008 programaren bitartez. Honekin mandrinaketa buruaren kalkulu zinematikoa egingo da barnean duen engranai tren epizikloidalak kalkulatuz eta konprobatuz. Amaitzeko erresistentzia kalkuluak egingo dira buruak jasaten dituen indarrekin. Nx7.5 elementu finito bidezko programaz modelizatuko da eta emaitza teorikoak proba esperimental batekin alderatuko dira

Clubhouse Euskadi

Clubhouse Euskadi es una propuesta innovadora en el campo de la Educación Social, concretamente en el ámbito de la enfermedad mental. Se trata de un modelo de rehabilitación psicosocial que promueve la inclusión social de las personas en un clima de trabajo, para alcanzar la autonomía propia de las mismas. Ésta se logra mediante la organización de un centro diurno, basado en un trabajo colaborativo e igualitario entre sus miembros y profesionales, que fomentan el acceso a empleos de transición e incluso independientes. La educación y el ocio son, a su vez, componentes esenciales que influyen en el periodo de mejora.

Los determinantes de la cooperación de pequeñas y medianas empresas para la innovación tecnológica

[ES]La importancia de la colaboración para la innovación se ha recogido en la literatura pero la mayoría de los estudios se centran en grandes empresas, dejando un vacio en el estudio de las pequeñas y medianas empresas. Este trabajo estudia los determinantes de las Pymes para la cooperación en innovación tecnológica. Se contempla que las fuentes de información influyen en la elección del socio de la cooperación y que la cooperación es una manera de reducir las barreras que la empresa considera importante a la hora de innovar. Los resultados del estudio indican que las empresas que cooperan en la innovación tienden a tener como fuentes de información a las universidades y centros tecnológicos.

San Francisco : a city reinvented by creative innovation

The aim of this paper is to analyse the recent evolution of the city of San Francisco to outline the major features that have made it possible this continuing process of creative innovation in the city. In order to meet this objective, the project is framed around answering two key research questions: (1) what are the main economic and social elements that characterise urban change in the city of San Francisco and (2) which is the role of public strategies in the continuing economic success of San Francisco. The paper concludes that the successful performance of San Francisco is the result of the actions taken by many agents in the city, but the role of public authorities, especially the City and County, must be stressed, both through direct intervention and by coordinating, fostering and supporting the private and non-profit sectors. This is especially relevant in a country like the US where private initiative has been seen in many occasions as the greatest driver of economic and social success. Yet, the performance of San Francisco City cannot be explained without the role played by the public sector, in coordination with the civil society
