Un ejercicio de estimación del IPC GBA para 2007

Resumen: La comparación del IPC Gran Buenos Aires con el ICP Mendoza se puede llevar a cabo gracias a que esta última presenta una serie extensa. En principio, se arma la estimación de cada índice para analizar las series de IPCGBA e IPCMZA y evaluar la existencia de una semejanza en el comportamiento de ambas que habilite una estimación de aquélla en función de ésta; en segundo lugar, se pretende mostrar el cambio que se produce en el comportamiento de la primera desde enero de 2007. A partir de la información revisada se deduce que ha de ser posible estimar el IPCGBA como función del IPCMZA. Se llevan a cabo estimaciones mensuales y trimestrales donde se incorporan variables binarias para mostrar el cambio estructural. El trabajo muestra que las series del índice de precios al consumidor de los aglomerados Gran Buenos Aires y Gran Mendoza presentan una correlación importante, luego de la comparación de cada modelo planteado.

Daily scale wintertime sea surface temperature and IPC-Navidad variability in the southern Bay of Biscay from 1981 to 2010

The combination of remotely sensed gappy Sea surface temperature (SST) images with the missing data filling DINEOF (data interpolating empirical orthogonal functions) technique, followed by a principal component analysis of the reconstructed data, has been used to identify the time evolution and the daily scale variability of the wintertime surface signal of the Iberian Poleward Current (IPC), or Navidad, during the 1981-2010 period. An exhaustive comparison with the existing bibliography, and the vertical temperature and salinity profiles related to its extremes over the Bay of Biscay area, show that the obtained time series accurately reflect the IPC-Navidad variability. Once a time series for the evolution of the SST signal of the current over the last decades is well established, this time series is used to propose a physical mechanism in relation to the variability of the IPC-Navidad, involving both atmospheric and oceanic variables. According to the proposed mechanism, an atmospheric circulation anomaly observed in both the 500 hPa and the surface levels generates atmospheric surface level pressure, wind-stress and heat-flux anomalies. In turn, those surface level atmospheric anomalies induce mutually coherent SST and sea level anomalies over the North Atlantic area, and locally, in the Bay of Biscay area. These anomalies, both locally over the Bay of Biscay area and over the North Atlantic, are in agreement with several mechanisms that have separately been related to the variability of the IPC-Navidad, i.e. the south-westerly winds, the joint effect of baroclinicity and relief (JEBAR) effect, the topographic beta effect and a weakened North Atlantic gyre.

"Networking is IPC": A Guiding Principle to a Better Internet

This position paper outlines a new network architecture, i.e., a style of construction that identifies the objects and how they relate. We do not specify particular protocol implementations or specific interfaces and policies. After all, it should be possible to change protocols in an architecture without changing the architecture. Rather we outline the repeating patterns and structures, and how the proposed model would cope with the challenges faced by today's Internet (and that of the future). Our new architecture is based on the following principle: Application processes communicate via a distributed inter-process communication (IPC) facility. The application processes that make up this facility provide a protocol that implements an IPC mechanism, and a protocol for managing distributed IPC (routing, security and other management tasks). Existing implementation strategies, algorithms, and protocols can be cast and used within our proposed new structure.

Una necesidad : el estudio del IPC

Se abordan una serie de consideraciones referidas a la importancia del trabajo con cierto tipo de indicadores estad??sticos en las Escuelas de Magisterio. Ello se sustenta en dos poderosas razones, la una complementaria de la otra: la enorme trascendencia social de su uso y la gran frecuencia con la que aparecen en todos los medios de comunicaci??n. De los indicadores referidos hay uno que es m??s notorio: se trata del ??ndice de Precios al Consumo. El estudio en este indicador se hace m??s relevante ya que est?? presente en todos los aspectos de nuestra vida.

[Effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) on thrombosis prophylaxis: a systematic literature review]

Despite changes in patient demographics and short-ened length of hospital stay deep vein thrombosis (DVT) remains a major health care problem which may lead to a variety of other high risk complications. Current treatment guidelines focus on preventive measures. Beside drug therapy, physical measures executed by nursing professionals exist, the outcomes of which are discussed controversially. Based on 25 studies that were found in MEDLINE and the Cochrane library, this systematic literature review identifies the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) on thrombosis prophylaxis. In almost all medical settings IPC contributes to a significant reduction of the incidence of DVT. At the same time, IPC has minimal negative side effects and is also cost effective. Correct application of IPC and patient compliance are essential to achieve its effectiveness. An increased awareness within the healthcare team in identifying the risk for and implementing measures against DVT is needed. Guidelines need to be developed in order to improve the effectiveness of thrombosis prophylaxis with the implementation of IPC.
