La Asamblea del año XIII y la dimensión extraordinaria del orden jurídico tradicional : Reflexiones en torno al juramento e instrucciones del cabildo de Córdoba

Considerando los cambios historiográficos relacionados con los primeros constitucionalismos hispanoamericanos, nos proponemos analizar algunos aspectos de la tradición jurídica todavía dominante en el momento de la Asamblea de 1813 que pueden contribuir a una mejor comprensión de su significado como primer ensayo constituyente en el Río de la Plata. Partiendo de la elucidación del calificativo "extraordinario" -como clave del lenguaje normativo precontemporáneo-, analizamos algunos tópicos clásicos como el problema de la representación, las instrucciones a los diputados y el juramento exigido para el reconocimiento de la Asamblea. Aunque usamos testimonios principalmente tomados de Córdoba, aspiramos a que algunas reflexiones puedan proyectarse más allá de ese ocasional punto de observación

The Impact of Globalization and Corruption on Extraordinary Wealth: An Empirical Analysis

The billionaires of the world attract significant attention from the media and the public. The popular press is full of books selling formulas on how to become rich. Surprisingly, only a limited number of studies have explored empirically the determinants of extraordinary wealth. Using a large data set we explore whether globalization and corruption affect extreme wealth accumulation. We find evidence that an increase in globalization increases super-richness. In addition, we also find that an increase in corruption leads to an increase in the creation of super fortune. This supports the argument that in kleptocracies large sums are transferred into the hands of a small group of individuals.

Extraordinary wealth, globalization, and corruption

Using a large dataset we investigate whether globalization and corruption affect extreme wealth accumulation. We find evidence that an increase in globalization increases super-affluence. In addition, we also find that an increase in corruption leads to an increase in the creation of super fortune.

Extraordinary synergy in the mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites reinforced with 2 nanocarbons

One of the applications of nanomaterials is as reinforcements in composites, wherein small additions of nanomaterials lead to large enhancements in mechanical properties. There have been extensive studies in the literature on composites where a polymer matrix is reinforced by a single nanomaterial such as carbon nanotubes. In this article, we examine the significant synergistic effects observed when 2 different types of nanocarbons are incorporated in a polymer matrix. Thus, binary combinations of nanodiamond, few-layer graphene, and single-walled nanotubes have been used to reinforce polyvinyl alcohol. The mechanical properties of the resulting composites, evaluated by the nanoindentation technique, show extraordinary synergy, improving the stiffness and hardness by as much as 400% compared to those obtained with single nanocarbon reinforcements. These results suggest a way of designing advanced materials with extraordinary mechanical properties by incorporating small amounts of 2 nanomaterials such as graphene plus nanodiamond or nanodiamond plus carbon nanotube.

Extraordinary high strain rate superplasticity in electrodeposited nano-nickel and alloys

Superplastic materials exhibit very large elongations to failure,typically >500%, and this enables commercial forming of complex shaped components at slow strain rates of similar to 10(-4) s(-1). We report extraordinary record superplastic elongations to failure of up to 5300% at both high strain rates and low temperature in electrodeposited nanocrystalline Ni and some Ni alloys. Superplasticity is not related to the presence of sulfur or a low melting phase at grain boundaries. (C) 2010 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The Adomian method applied to some extraordinary differential equations

Several ''extraordinary'' differential equations are considered for their solutions via the decomposition method of Adomian. Verifications are made with the solutions obtained by other methods.

Extraordinary supercapacitor performance of heavily nitrogenated graphene oxide obtained by microwave synthesis

Heavily nitrogenated graphene oxide containing similar to 18 wt% nitrogen, prepared by microwave synthesis with urea as the nitrogen source, shows outstanding performance as a supercapacitor electrode material, with the specific capacitance going up to 461 F g(-1).

On distribution of pollen in lakes. [Translation from: Palynology in geological research in the Baltic Soviet Republics p113-119. Vilnius, 1973.]

Systematic investigations of the distribution of pollen in stationary water bodies until now have hardly been conducted. For clarification of the problem of how the pollen of different plants which falls into a lake is deposited in relation to its physical properties, the character of the lake, wind currents and other factors, pollen analyses were carried out of surface samples of the bottom sediments of 13 Lithuanian lakes. Lakes were selected of different sizes (areas from 2333 ha. to 8 ha.) and different depths, not uniformly overgrown, situated in different physico-geographic regions of Lithuania. As a result of the investigation, it was established that in the surface layer of the sediments of the lakes of Lithuania pollen of woody species predominates.

Mid-infrared heavily n-doped GaAs extraordinary transmission through subwavelength grooves

Transmission of an electromagnetic wave from a heavily doped n-type GaAs film is studied theoretically. The calculations are performed using the two-dimensional finite-different time-domain method. From the calculations, we find the extraordinary transmission of p-polarized waves through the film with subwavelength grooves on both surfaces at mid-infrared frequencies. By determining a set of groove parameters, we optimize the transmission to as high as 55.2%. We ascribe this extraordinary transmission to the coupling of the surface-plasmon polariton modes and waveguide modes. Such an enhanced transmission device can be useful for mid-infrared wave filters, emitters, and monitors.
