This book presents a set of approaches for the real-time monitoring
and control of drinking-water networks based on advanced
information and communication technologies. It shows the reader how
to achieve significant improvements in efficiency in terms of water
use, energy consumption, water loss minimization, and water quality
guarantees. The methods and approaches presented are illustrated
and have been applied using real-life pilot demonstrations based on
the drinking-water network in Barcelona, Spain. The proposed
approaches and tools cover: * decision-making support for real-time
optimal control of water transport networks, explaining how
stochastic model predictive control algorithms that take explicit
account of uncertainties associated with energy prices and real
demand allow the main flow and pressure actuators-pumping stations
and pressure regulation valves- and intermediate storage tanks to
be operated to meet demand using the most sustainable types of
source and with minimum electricity costs;* decision-making support
for monitoring water balance and distribution network quality in
real time, implementing fault detection and diagnosis techniques
and using information from hundreds of flow, pressure, and
water-quality sensors together with hydraulic and
quality-parameter-evolution models to detect and locate leaks in
the network, possible breaches in water quality, and failures in
sensors and/or actuators;* consumer-demand prediction, based on
smart metering techniques, producing detailed analyses and
forecasts of consumption patterns, providing a customer
communications service, and suggesting economic measures intended
to promote more efficient use of water at the household level.
Researchers and engineers working with drinking-water networks will
find this a vital support in overcoming the problems associated
with increased population, environmental sensitivities and
regulation, aging infrastructures, energy requirements, and limited
water sources.

Published in 1921, "Belarmino y Apolonio" probably is the best
novel written by the Spanish Asturias-born writer Ramon Perez de
Ayala, and certainly a most significant one among those published
during the so-called Spanish culture Silver Age (1898-1936).
According to the French hispanist critic Jean Cassou "Belarmino y
Apolonio" should be considered one of the most important novels in
Spanish literature, second only to "El Quijote." The novel appears
at first sight to be a story that could be classified as
"costumbrismo" or even romantic pulp fiction: the forbidden love
between a young seminarist and a beautiful girl, son and daughter
respectively of two shoemakers who happen to hate each other. But
in truth the work constitutes a singular mechanism of mirrors and
retelling, and a continuous pondering upon human behavior, up to
the point that the reader soon realizes that one of the cobblers is
a philosopher who happens to have invented a new language, and the
other one considers himself to be a playwright and normally speaks
in verse. With this novel Perez de Ayala presents a fictional
research on the point of view, the contrast and, finally, the
relativeness and contingency of human opinion, and how do these
affect the precious good called "happiness," in a text that
combines cultural references and an essay-like style with a precise
narrative structure, all encompassed in a playful and ironic tone
of voice.

La emigracion canaria a Cuba fue cuantiosa y sostenida, tanto que
puede considerarse una de sus principales raices culturales y
etnograficas. Hoy no es raro el canario que tiene familiares en
Cuba, y menos raro el cubano que lleva un apellido guanche. Porque
los descendientes de aquellos emigrantes canarios poco tardaron en
considerarse cubanos de pura cepa. En lugar de llegar como colonos
o soldados, los islenos, como se los conoce en Cuba, lo hicieron
como mano de obra para las plantaciones de tabaco y de cana de
azucar. Los pobladores de Cuba de origen canario llevaron tambien
consigo sus devociones tradicionales. Es interesante el detalle de
que los canarios se asentaban preferentemente en las zonas rurales
y no en las zonas urbanas donde predominaba la emigracion
peninsular, de aqui se desprende que las influencias economicas y
socioculturales canarias se vean mas en las zonas rurales y en la
cultura campesina en Cuba. En la parte central de la Isla, donde la
presencia de rios es caracteristica, estos labriegos, fomentaron en
pequenas parcelas o vegas naturales a la vera de los rios, la
siembra de la planta de tabaco, de ahi el apelativo de vegueros
'islenos' a los canarios."
