El arte contemporáneo frente a la crisis ecológica (Marilú Franco)Marilú Franco
El documento describe el movimiento artístico Land Art de los años 60 y el arte ecologista que surgió en las décadas posteriores. El Land Art involucraba obras a gran escala en paisajes naturales que cuestionaban las relaciones entre el arte, la naturaleza y el espectador. Más tarde, el arte ecologista se centró en fuerzas naturales y en no dañar el medio ambiente, empleando estrategias como rituales, acciones discretas o proyectos organizativos. El arte medioambiental actual puede responder a situaciones inmediatas y adoptar
A Comissão de Desenvolvimento Econômico da Câmara dos Deputados aprovou um projeto que restringe a importação de café estrangeiro para proteger a cadeia produtiva brasileira. O objetivo é estabelecer normas ambientais mais rígidas para países importadores. A falta de funcionários coloca em risco o banco de germoplasma de café do IAC, que contém a maior coleção genética do grão do Brasil, permitindo o avanço do mato.
Existen dos tipos de contaminación del suelo: la contaminación natural, que se produce por fuentes como rocas con altos contenidos de elementos, y la contaminación antrópica, que corresponde a la contaminación provocada directamente por las actividades humanas como la explotación minera, uso de pesticidas y actividades industriales y domésticas.
Las galaxias son enormes colecciones de estrellas, gas y polvo que varían en tamaño desde miles a cientos de miles de años luz. Contienen millones o billones de estrellas. Las galaxias se presentan en diferentes formas y tamaños y se dividen en tres tipos: espirales, elípticas e irregulares. Las nebulosas son nubes de polvo y gas interestelar que pueden ser lugares de nacimiento de estrellas o residuos de estrellas explotadas, y se encuentran dentro de las galaxias.

This document discusses executing a Simulink model externally from MATLAB via the MATLAB external interface. It provides examples of executing a Simulink model from the MATLAB command line, from a C program, from FORTRAN, and from the Modular Modeling System (MMS). The examples demonstrate preserving Simulink state information when executing a model over an extended simulation by passing the final states of one interval as the initial states of the next. This allows interfacing a Simulink control model with detailed systems models in codes like TRACE or MMS.

Robert Edwards has over 45 years of experience in nuclear power plant digital control and safety systems. He owns Edwards Analysis and Consulting, which provides digital control system licensing and consulting services. Edwards had a long career as a professor of nuclear engineering at Penn State University, where he also received his PhD. He applies his expertise to continuously update his business and help clients license digital safety systems.
This curriculum vitae outlines the career of Robert M. Edwards, including his educational background in nuclear engineering, employment history focusing on nuclear engineering roles, areas of research interest in nuclear reactor control and simulation, graduate theses supervised, publications, and courses taught at Penn State. Edwards has over 40 years of experience in nuclear engineering and was a professor of nuclear engineering at Penn State until his retirement in 2012.
The document describes a Small Break Water Reactor (SBWR) test loop with a chimney enclosed in a 6 inch Pyrex glass tube to view boiling, surrounded by a Plexiglas safety enclosure. An electrically heated rod bundle is located below the chimney and a LabVIEW control station is on the second floor to operate the test loop.
The TMI Basic Principles Simulator was donated to Penn State in January 2001. A photo shows Professor Edwards standing to the left of Sacit Ceitner, who was then at Penn State but is now at ORNL. The simulator will aid in nuclear engineering education at Penn State.

The document discusses design features to achieve defense in depth for small and medium sized reactors. It provides background on interest in SMR development among IAEA member states. The objective is to help SMR designers define consistent approaches to eliminate accident initiators and prevent consequences through inherent and passive safety features. The report considers general principles for incorporating such features and reactor-specific considerations. It describes approaches for pressurized water, pressurized heavy water, high temperature gas cooled, liquid metal cooled, and non-conventional SMR designs to achieve multiple levels of protection.
This document summarizes a workshop on an OECD/NRC boiling water reactor turbine trip benchmark. The workshop was hosted by Exelon Nuclear and included participants from utilities, regulators, and researchers. It reviewed the draft specifications for the benchmark exercises, which involve modeling a turbine trip transient at a BWR plant using coupled neutronics/thermal-hydraulics codes. Workshop participants discussed the appropriate scope and deadlines for the benchmark exercises to ensure useful technical feedback and allow modeling to proceed efficiently.
This letter recommends that Mr. Edgar Salazar attend an IAEA-sponsored training from April to May 2002 along with Mr. Ocampo. Mr. Salazar has experience with hardware and software for networks and simulators, which could help link models to hardware and the simulator. The training would not require additional expenses, but Mr. Salazar would need to arrange funding for travel, housing, and other personal costs.
The document provides an end of mission report for a review of a classroom analysis simulator (CAS) for the Laguna Verde Nuclear Power Plant in Mexico. It summarizes the status of the CAS project, which uses simulation codes to model reactor behavior and train operators. While the CAS has a sophisticated interface and can simulate accidents, the current implementation does not demonstrate modeling of important instability events. Staffing and funding for further development have been reduced. The expert concludes the project would benefit from broadening its customer base beyond the single plant.
The document discusses exploratory dynamic modeling of a nuclear-powered Brayton cycle system for a proposed Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO) mission. System integration is challenging because component models are often incompatible and simplified models must be used. The modeling effort used steady-state design data from reports on a 50MW reactor and 500kWe Brayton power conversion unit. A dynamic fuel pin model was coupled to a Brayton unit model based on equations from another report. Preliminary simulations showed an unintuitive reactor power increase when load decreased, consistent with other work, indicating a reactor control system would be needed. Further system integration work is still required for the JIMO project.
Robert M. Edwards of Penn State presents exploratory modeling of nuclear electric propulsion (NEP) systems. The modeling includes reactor kinetics equations, fuel pin thermal dynamics, and integration with a Brayton power conversion system. Dynamic simulations are developed in Simulink to examine responses of reactor power and temperature to reactivity inputs, as well as pressure responses in the gas circulation loops. The modeling aims to integrate detailed component models for reactor cores, heat exchangers and power conversion to enable system-level simulations and control design studies of NEP concepts.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
1) The document is an email from Robert Edwards about his father who served in World War 2. It includes photos of his father after the war with his family, an item from his father's time as a POW, and telegrams his mother received regarding his father being MIA, a POW, and returning to the US.
2) Robert remembers the day his father was found hanging from an apple tree behind where the family photo was taken. His father had killed himself.
3) Robert plans to sue USAA for failing to provide Power of Attorney documents to Mindy Thomas as ordered by a court.
