Edgar Allan Poe's gothic tale of the decaying Usher mansion comes to life in an all-new way!   In this graphic novel edition of The Fall of the House of Usher, Raul Garcia adapts his animated short, The Fall of the House of Usher, now streaming on Prime Video, and as a part of the animated feature Extraordinary Tales.   A traveler arrives at the Usher mansion to visit his old friend, Roderick Usher. Upon arriving, however, he discovers that Roderick and his sister, Madeline, have been afflicted with a mysterious malady: Roderick's senses have become painfully acute, while Madeline has become nearly catatonic. That evening, Roderick tells his guest of an old Usher family curse: any time there has been more than one Usher child, all siblings have gone insane, dying horrible deaths. As the days wear on, the effects of the curse reach their terrifying climax.   In this adaptation, the celebrated animator translates the cinematographic language into the comic medium.   As a bonus, the original Edgar Allan Poe prose story is included!      

The Event of Psychopoetics overviews and investigates the notion of psychopoetics, a sociopsychological event that involves re-creative slips and that emerges under certain cultural conditions and power relations in the context of everyday interaction and through certain modes of dialoguing and conversing. This transdisciplinary text takes the reader through the thought processes of Deleuze, Guattari, Agamben, Maffesoli, Foucault, Butler, Haraway, and Braidotti, among others, addressing debates that are integral to the critique of psychology and its devices of subjectivization and normalization. Garcia takes a unique approach by reflecting on how psychopoetics contrasts institutionalized dialogues, while constantly emphasizing the generative and transformative potency of social worlds effectuated in the impetuous play of poetics. The book combines the rigor of academic research with the creative display of ideas that open diverse, suggestive lines of reflection on everyday interlocution and its possibilities of reinvention, modes of social existence, and the relation between subjectivity and the designs of power. A truly unique reading experience, this book is ideal for students, instructors, and researchers in the fields of philosophy, social psychology and sociological thought, discourse studies, literary theory, and cultural analysis.

Develop well-structured applications using tested techniques and patterns. When you start to develop an application, you not only have to think about the idea of the finished application, but also about how it will evolve as it is built. This book shows you how to plan for changes, scope creep, and for the possibility of other developers joining in. Start by learning what architecture patterns for an application are. You'll find out why it's important for your applications to be based on these patterns and which ones are the most common. Then you'll look at the MVC as one of the best known and used patterns. You'll see how and when it can be implemented in your applications, as well as its advantages and disadvantages. From there, you'll discover the first evolution of the MVC model: the MVP, which introduces a new layer (Presenter) to better manage views. The next evolution after that is the MVVM, which introduces the ViewModel layer and its connection with the views through Data Binding. With those prominent patterns covered, you'll read about VIPER and VIP, Architecture Patterns that seeks to make applications easily maintainable, modularized, and highly scalable. All of which are hallmarks of Clean Architecture. Architecture patterns have developed and evolved to give your applications solid foundations. Understanding these patterns, you will reduce the problems that may arise when modifying existing functions, adding new ones, or correcting errors that may arise in the development process. What You'll Learn Code cleanly with solid foundations Start your project ready to adapt and evolve as features and other developers are added Find and apply the right patterns for the best results Who This Book Is ForDevelopers with some programming knowledge who want to learn different architecture patterns, those who already have more experience and are looking for a starting point on complex patterns such as VIPER or VIP, and beginner programmers

First screened at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, Pedro Almodóvar's powerful and passionate semi-autobiographical melodrama follows the intertwining stories of two boys, Enrique (Fele Martínez) and Ignacio (Gael García Bernal), who fall in love at an abusive Catholic school and are parted by a jealous paedophile priest. Sixteen years later, Enrique, now a successful filmmaker, is casting about for an idea for a new film when a young cross-dressing actor, claiming to be Ignacio but known as 'Angel', approaches him with a short story based on their schooldays together. Enrique decides to use the story, and casts Angel in the film's lead role, despite his discovery that Angel is not in fact Ignacio, who died three years earlier shortly after completing the story, but his younger brother. Enrique's film also includes scenes in which the grown-up Ignacio tracks down the Catholic priest who abused them as boys, and these scenes soon become mirrored by real-life events. Almodóvar moves away from his trademark quirky comedy with this dark and brooding drama, using a complex 'film-within-a-film' structure to create a noir-like sense of mystery and blurred identity, and to explore the relationship between fantasy and reality.

El ampollamiento de los recubrimientos anticorrosivos de pintura es un tipo de deterioro que se presenta muy frecuentemente en las pinturas marinas aplicadas en la obra viva de los buques. A pesar de los importantes costes de mantenimiento que este fenomeno genera, todavia no se conocen con exactitud los mecanismos de formacion de ampollas, asi como los diversos factores que influyen sobre los mismos. Algunos de los posibles factores que influyen en este proceso son: la salinidad del agua, la existencia de contaminacion salina en la intercara acero/pintura, el espesor y tipo de pintura, la adherencia acero/pintura, la temperatura del agua, etc.. Cuando en la interfase acero/pintura de los substratos metalicos se presentan contaminantes salinos, se producen dos tipos de ampollamiento: el osmotico, influido directamente por el propio proceso de la osmosis; y el catodico, relacionado con los fenomenos de corrosion del sustrato. En la presente trabajo se plantea un estudio experimental en el que las pinturas marinas se aplican sobre sustratos no metalicos, de modo que se evite totalmente el proceso corrosivo, y, por tanto, el mecanismo de ampollamiento catodico.

La llegada de las nuevas tecnologias de informacion y comunicacion al sector turistico ha llevado a la aparicion, no solo de nuevas posibilidades de comercializacion y busqueda de productos y servicios, sino tambien de nuevas formas de interaccion debido a la democratizacion intrinseca de la Red. Entre ellas, el uso de la negociacion para la obtencion de acuerdos sobre prestacion de servicios y productos se ha revelado un campo de investigacion, a priori, interesante. Estas nuevas oportunidades han sido aprovechadas, dentro de la inteligencia artificial distribuida, por los sistemas multiagente, por tratarse de un contexto adecuado del que extraer modelos y realizar experimentos con el objetivo de reducir tiempos y costes en la ejecucion de las tareas de busqueda, seleccion y reserva de productos asociadas a este mercado. La mayoria de los estudios realizados en este dominio se han centrado en la relacion cliente-intermediario y muy pocos (aunque cada dia mas) en la interaccion cliente-proveedor. Es en esta nueva perspectiva en la que intenta ahondar este trabajo aprovechando el fenomeno de desaparicion progresiva de los, antano imprescindibles, intermediarios de la industria."

Actualmente, la mayoria de los sistemas de control para turbogeneradores contemplan esquemas de control descentralizados con lazos de control independientes para la turbina y el generador. Estos esquemas no consideran la interaccion entre los lazos de control de potencia y voltaje, lo que puede degradar la respuesta del turbogenerador. Para remediar esta situacion y desarrollar mejores esquemas de control es necesario contar con modelos matematicos completos del conjunto turbina-generador que reproduzcan fielmente su dinamica en todo el rango de operacion e incluyan los efectos de interaccion. En este trabajo de investigacion se desarrollo el modelo matematico de un generador sincrono que incluye devanados amortiguadores y saturacion magnetica del hierro del rotor. El modelo se programo modularmente, en parametros por unidad, y se integro al modelo existente de una turbina de gas para conformar el modelo completo de un turbogenerador de combustion de 32 MVA. La estabilidad numerica de los modelos del generador y del turbogenerador se demostro mediante experimentos de simulacion en estado estable."
