    Dr. Daniel Ramírez Ruiz Laboratorio de electroquímica y nanociencias Instituto de Química y Bioquímica, Facultad de Ciencias Universidad de Valparaíso. Av. Gran Bretaña 1111, Valparaíso. Se describe el trabajo histórico realizado por el grupo de electroquímica del Instituto de Química y Biquímica de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Universidad de Valparaíso, el cual se ha dedicado a la electrodeposición y caracterización de materiales semiconductors. Durante los últimos años, se ha podido dar un enfoque adicional al original, que es la intención de obtener dispositivos con aplicaciones útiles en el campo del aprovechamiento de la energía solar, por medio de la separación de agua para formar hidrógeno y, últimamente, por la conversion directa a energía eléctrica por medio de celdas fotovoltaicas. Como se podrá ver, la electroquímica puede jugar un rol fundamental en el desarrollo de este tipo de tecnologías ya que, un protocolo correcto de electrodeposición puede permitir ajustar parámetros relevantes para mejorar la eficiencia de dichos dispositivos. Como dicho desarrollo es aun incipiente en nuestro grupo, se han incluído también resultados de la literatura que demuestran con evidencias que esta ruta electroquímica es possible acoplarla a dispositivos útiles con estos fines.Universidad de Málaga.

    Income Earning Potential versus Consumptive Amenities in Determining Ranchland Values

    The relative importance of income earning potential versus consumptive values in setting ranchland prices is examined using a truncated hedonic model. The market value of New Mexico ranches is related to annual income earning potential and other ranch characteristics including ranch size, location, elevation, terrain, and the amount of deeded, public, and state trust land on the ranch. We found ranch income to be a statistically important determinant of land value, but yet a relatively small percentage of ranch value was explained by income earnings. Ranch location, scenic view, and the desirable lifestyle influenced ranch value more than ranch income.consumptive value, grazing fees, grazing permit value, hedonic model, land value, lifestyle agriculture, public land grazing, voluntary grazing permit buyout, Land Economics/Use,

    Se analiza la accesibilidad espacial de la población a los equipamientos de educaciónpública (nivel inicial y nivel primario) de la ciudad de Formosa. Para ello, se aplicantécnicas de análisis espacial basadas en medidas de accesibilidad, tales como,densidad, distribución de servicios y usuarios y áreas de influencia. Se obtuvieronlos siguientes resultados: a) las áreas de influencia y demanda potencial; b) lasdistancias recorridas; c) la relación demanda calculada y matrícula; y d) las áreas deacceso diferencial. Se proporciona un panorama de las diferencias significativas encuanto a los beneficios socio-educativos que genera la distribución de equipamientoscolectivos y públicos como los educativos.Spatial accessibility of the population to public education facilities (initial level and primary level) is analyzed from the city of Formosa. Spatial analysis techniques based accessibility measures, such as density, distribution services and users and areas of influence are applied. The following results were obtained: a) the areas of influence and potential demand; b) the distances covered; c) demand and enrollment ratio calculated; and d) the areas of differential access. Therefore significant differences is provided, in terms of the socio-educational, which generates the distribution of collective and public facilities such as the educational.Fil: Blanco, Hector Daniel.

    Optical Thermonuclear Transients From Tidal Compression of White Dwarfs as Tracers of the Low End of the Massive Black Hole Mass Function

    In this paper, we model the observable signatures of tidal disruptions of white dwarf (WD) stars by massive black holes (MBHs) of moderate mass, 103105M\approx 10^3 - 10^5 M_\odot. When the WD passes deep enough within the MBH's tidal field, these signatures include thermonuclear transients from burning during maximum compression. We combine a hydrodynamic simulation that includes nuclear burning of the disruption of a 0.6M0.6 M_\odot C/O WD with a Monte Carlo radiative transfer calculation to synthesize the properties of a representative transient. The transient's emission emerges in the optical, with lightcurves and spectra reminiscent of type I SNe. The properties are strongly viewing-angle dependent, and key spectral signatures are 10,000\approx 10,000 km s1^{-1} Doppler shifts due to the orbital motion of the unbound ejecta. Disruptions of He WDs likely produce large quantities of intermediate-mass elements, offering a possible production mechanism for Ca-rich transients. Accompanying multiwavelength transients are fueled by accretion and arise from the nascent accretion disk and relativistic jet. If MBHs of moderate mass exist with number densities similar to those of supermassive MBHs, both high energy wide-field monitors and upcoming optical surveys should detect tens to hundreds of WD tidal disruptions per year. The current best strategy for their detection may therefore be deep optical follow up of high-energy transients of unusually-long duration. The detection rate or the non-detection of these transients by current and upcoming surveys can thus be used to place meaningful constraints on the extrapolation of the MBH mass function to moderate masses.Comment: This version corrects a normalization error in the optical/radio afterglow lightcurves in Fig 1
