- The book tackles five cutting-edge topics in the field of urban studies: the anti-progress movement, resilient urban model, localism, the urban commons, and the bottom-up urbanism. - The use of an attractive cultural narrative, the eco-lifestyle, to analyse and interpret architectural and urban spaces. - The use of the ecological crisis as starting point and backbone of that narrative. This topic is a mainstream concern in contemporary society.

The book is mainly addressed to young graduate students in engineering and natural sciences who start to face numerical simulation, either at a research level or in the field of industrial applications. The main subjects covered are: Biomechanics, Stochastic Calculus, Geophysical flow simulation and Shock-Capturing numerical methods for Hyperbolic Systems of Partial Differential Equations. The book can also be useful to researchers or even technicians working at an industrial environment, who are interested in the state-of-the-art numerical techniques in these fields. Moreover, it gives an overview of the researchdeveloped at the French and Spanish universities and in some European scientific institutions. This book can be also useful as a textbook at master courses in Mathematics, Physics or Engineering."

En las ultimas decadas las definiciones nosologicas se han clarificado para una gran multitud de procesos morbidos. Este ejercicio clarificador permite identificar con mayor precision, y con caracter universal para los clinicos de cualquier parte del mundo, la definicion de caso. La unificacion de criterios tiene multitud de ventajas tanto para la practica clinica habitual como para la inclusion de pacientes en ensayos clinicos. No obstante, los criterios diagnosticos tambien exigen al medico conocer, primero su existencia, y luego su contenido. Obviamente tratar de memorizar los criterios diagnosticos de muchas enfermedades resulta tarea ardua. Por ello, hemos creido interesante desarrollar este libro en el que me he encargado de recopilar los criterios diagnosticos de uso mas frecuente. Cualquier medico se beneficiara de este libro, pues incluye criterios relativos a enfermedades de todos los sistemas y especialidades clinicas; con especial incidencia en enfermedades sistemicas, cardiovasculares, endocrinologicas, neurologicas, del aparato digestivo y del aparato respiratorio. En la version para eBooks los titulos de los capitulos estan enlazados a la entrada correspondiente del blog, para que si se desea se pueda consultar facilmente la version online y ver, por ejemplo, si existen actualizaciones de dichos criterios. Si desea ampliar la infomacion sobre criterios clinicos existente en este libro puede hacerlo en el blog "Criterios Diagnosticos" http: //criteriosdiagnosticos.blogspot.com/ y en la red social Medicalia.org.es
