"Spanish Money and Banking" provides new insights into recent advances in financial and monetary history and theory, and demonstrates the significance of Spain to modern banking, monetary, and development theory. Using a comparative approach, it brings together a substantial amount of research carried out in Spain and abroad. It also contributes to scholarly debates on aspects of monetary and banking history, topics such as free vs regulated banking, metallic vs fiduciary money, specialized vs universal banking, bank- vs market-led finance, banking repression vs liberalization, the contribution of banking and money to growth, and the role of the state in financial and economic development. It also shows how financial and monetary mismanagement contributed to the decline of Spain in the early modern era, and how the development of the banking sector later on contributed to the first stirrings of development in modern Spain, especially in the 20th century, throwing light as well on the causes of the recent European crisis and the part Spain played in it.

This book incorporates advances in financial and monetary history and theory and shows the relevance of Spain's story to modern banking, monetary and development theory. It studies the early development of banking and monetary institutions and shows how financial and monetary mismanagement contributed to the decline of Spain in the early modern era

The Handbook of Research on Smart Territories and Entrepreneurial Ecosystems for Social Innovation and Sustainable Growth is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the global practices and initiatives of smart territories as well as their impact on sustainable development in different communities. While highlighting topics such as waste management, social innovation, and digital optimization, this publication is ideally designed for civil engineers, urban planners, policymakers, economists, administrators, social scientists, business executives, researchers, educators, and students seeking current research on the development of smart territories and entrepreneurship in various environments.

This work describes a novel approach to the problem of workforce distribution in dynamic multi-agent systems based on blackboard architectures, focusing especially on a real-world scenario: the multi-skill call centre. Traditionally, to address such highly-dynamic environments, diverse greedy heuristics have been applied to provide solutions in real-time. Basically, these heuristics perform a continuous re-planning on the system, taking into account its current state at all times. As decisions are greedily taken, the distribution of the workforce may be poor in the medium and/or long term. The usage of parallel memetic algorithms, which are more sophisticated than standard ad-hoc heuristics, can lead us towards much more accurate solutions. In order to effectively apply parallel memetic algorithms to such a dynamic environment, we introduce the concept of adaptive time window. Thus, the size of the time window depends upon the level of dynamism of the system at a given time. This research proposes a set of tools to automatically determine the dynamism of the system, as well as a novel and precise prediction module based on a neural network and a powerful optimization method.

Soft tissue refers to tissues that connect, support, or surround other structures and organs of the body, not being bone. Soft tissue includes tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin, fibrous tissues, fat, and synovial membranes (which are connective tissue), and muscles, nerves and blood vessels (which are not connective tissue). In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the composition, mechanisms of injury and repair of soft tissue. Topics discussed include the soft tissue biomechanics of diabetic foot ulcers; cellular and physiological soft tissue response in hip arthroplasty; peri-implant soft tissues in orthodontic anchorage; connecting tissue injuries and mechanical properties; MRI findings of myopathies in soft tissue; and soft tissue behaviour after mandibular symphysis bone graft harvesting.

Los altos niveles de produccion y consumo de materiales durante el proceso de corte de piezas de forma geometrica irregular en chapas, demandan la aplicacion de tecnicas de optimizacion y el empleo de sistemas CAPP (Computer Aided Process Planning), con el proposito de obtener soluciones que permitan reducir el consumo de materiales y aumentar la productividad y eficiencia del proceso. En el presente material se ilustra el estado actual del desarrollo de las tecnicas de distribucion de piezas en chapas y la generacion de la trayectoria de corte. Se concibe un procedimiento especifico para la distribucion de piezas de forma geometrica irregular y se realiza la generacion de la trayectoria del util de corte a partir de las mejores propuestas de distribucion. La aplicacion de los fundamentos del Analisis y la Sintesis de Sistemas de Ingenieria para la Preparacion y Toma de Decisiones bajo Criterios Multiples aporta un compromiso razonable entre los indicadores de eficiencia. Fue desarrollado un modelo de la integracion CAD/CAPP, el cual fue implementado en una herramienta informatica y los resultados obtenidos fueron validados por metodos estadisticos."

El mar es el tercer medio mas importante en la vida de la Tierra y en la del Hombre, junto con el aire y el suelo. El estudio del mar lleva a una forma de cultura, que no puede ser distinta de la tradicional, que comprende aspectos cientificos, comerciales, artisticos y ludicos, sirviendo de nexo entre las clasicamente consideradas dos culturas, llamadas cientifica y humanistica. En la Oceanografia Quimica intentamos refundir los conceptos de las tradicionales quimica oceanografica y quimica marina. El mar inspira arte y pensamiento, sirviendo de pista para la comunicacion entre los pueblos, y suscita tambien la necesidad de su estudio cientifico, cuyo desarrollo equilibrado proporciona el entrocamiento y la unificacion de diversos aspectos de la cultura que genera. Una rama importantisima, fundamental, dentro del conocimiento del mar, es la referente a su aspecto quimico, en relacion con el cual nosotros venimos utilizando el termino "quimica oceanografica" para englobar la tradicional diferenciacion entre oceanografia quimica y quimica marina. En definitiva, nos referimos especialmente, a los aspectos quimicos del estudio del mar."

Esta obra representa la culminacion de varios anos de estudio de los manglares del sureste del Golfo de Mexico. La principal contribucion del libro reside en la revision sistematica, ecologica y biogeografica de las especies de mangles que se presentan en la laguna de La Mancha, Veracruz, la ilustracion original de cuatro taxones, el reporte de estos registros, y la informacion que complementa la distribucion regional, nacional, de Centroamerica y Suramerica. Se ha revisado la determinacion de las especies previamente reportadas, todo ello sustentado en la revision bibliografica en su aspecto historico, y analisis de materiales en el contexto actual, para que sea utilizado por el publico en general. Todavia existen inconvenientes taxonomicos y ecologicos no resueltos, como la falta de una clara diferenciacion morfologica entre taxones infraespecificos, la sinonimia, y la existencia de diferentes tipos geograficos que ocasionan confusion entre los ecologos; por lo que debido a este ineludible escenario, no se cambiaron las categorias taxonomicas antes mencionadas. Sin embargo, en las especies Avicenia bicolor y Rhizophora harrisonii es necesaria una mayor revision."
