Philosopher, essayist, dramatist, poet, novelist, Unamuno was an impassioned and unorthodox thinker whose novels foreshadow the works of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Carlos Fuentes. Elegantly simple in language, these novels probe the elemental forces of human personality: In Two Mothers, the demonic will of a woman runs amok in a whirlwind of maternal power, and in The Marquis of Lumbria, another unforgettable heroine steers a violent course through the dense sea of tradition. By contrast, Nothing Less Than a Man, Unamuno's most forceful piece of writing, focuses on a truly Nietzchean hero, a man who embodies human will deprived of spiritual strength.

Delightful stories, other material based on works of Don Juan Manuel, Luis Taboada, Ricardo Palma, other noted writers. Complete faithful English translations on facing pages.

El presente trabajo desarrolla un modelo econometrico para determinar la relacion que puede existir entre el precio del credito en el mercado bancario colombiano y la concentracion existente en el mismo, basado en la metodologia "Estructura-Conducta-Resultados" proveniente de trabajos de Organizacion Industrial aplicados al sector bancario. Se pretende establecer si la concentracion de la banca en el mercado de credito colombiano es un determinante de las tasas de interes. En el desarrollo se efectua una breve presentacion de antecedentes historicos en torno a algunas variables del mercado de credito y se efectuan algunas aproximaciones a la concentracion del mercado bancario en Colombia a traves de los indices de Herfindahl-Hirschman. Enseguida se plantea la hipotesis de trabajo y el modelo econometrico a usar decidiendo las variables mas relevantes de acuerdo a la teoria economica y los resultados estadisticos, se realizan las pruebas respectivas al modelo y se presentan de los resultados."

En este libro se presenta el desarrollo de un sistema de diagnostico de fallas para el turbogenerador a vapor de una central de generacion de ciclo combinado. El diseno se lleva a cabo usando el analisis estructural. La descomposicion Dulmage-Mendelsohn de la matriz de incidencia divide al sistema en uno justamente restringido y otro sobre restringido. Se realiza un emparejamiento unicamente en la seccion sobre restringida, lo que permite encontrar las relaciones de redundancia analitica y determinar la monitorabilidad y detectabilidad del proceso. El sistema de diagnostico de fallas se implanta en el simulador de una central de generacion de ciclo combinado, se prueba ante fallas en los sensores, actuadores y proceso y se analizan los resultados obtenidos."
