For 50 years, Star Trek has been an inspiration to its fans around the world, helping them to dream of a better future. This inspiration has entered our culture and helped to shape much of the technology of the early 21st Century. The contributors to this volume are researchers and teachers in a wide variety of disciplines; from Astrophysics to Ethnology, from English and History to Medicine and Video Games, and from American Studies to the study of Collective Computing Systems. What the authors have in common is that some version of Star Trek has inspired them, not only in their dreams of what may be, but in the ways in which they work - and teach others to work - here in the real world. Introduced with references to Star Trek films and television shows, and illustrated with original cartoons, each of the 15 chapters included in this volume provides insights into research and teaching in this range of academic fields.

La produccion agraria de citricos en la Comunidad Valenciana cuenta con una consolidada tradicion exportadora, siendo Espana el principal pais exportador a nivel mundial. Con un comercio globalizado en el que la competitividad de los productos es un factor determinante, el transporte y sus modalidades pueden tener una importante influencia a la hora de posicionar las mercancias en los mercados. En el contexto actual, desde las Administraciones se estan impulsando medidas de optimizacion y reduccion de los consumos energeticos siendo el transporte uno de los principales objetivos. Por otra parte, junto a los precios, los consumidores cada vez estan mas concienciados de la importancia de factores como los ambientales al adquirir productos. Dada la vinculacion del consumo energetico y la generacion de emisiones de gases efecto invernadero que se producen con el transporte de los citricos, se plantea una aproximacion al calculo de la absorcion/emision de CO2 derivadas del cultivo y la exportacion segun los modos de transporte utilizados, y se valora en el caso concreto del cooperativismo citricola de la Comunidad Valenciana."
