In August of 2005, scientists conducted a rapid inventory in Sierra del Divisor, a mountain range that rises up dramatically from the lowlands of central Amazonian Peru. This assessment, presented here in English and Spanish, collects their research on the plants and animals of the region as well as the social and cultural assets of local villages and their use and management of natural resources. The report includes recommendations for conservation and management, including steps to safeguard the voluntarily isolated indigenous people living in the region. Corine Vriesendorp is a...

Cuanto cabe en nuestro espacio? Por que solo pueden existir cinco poliedros regulares y no seis? Que figuras llenan el plano y el espacio? Es el espacio una generalizacion trivial del plano? Podemos notar si estamos en un plano curveadoo si estamos sobre el? En lenguaje casi coloquial, despegaremos figuras del espacio para rotarlas en cuatro dimensiones, contaremos poliedros en dimensiones superiores y nos preguntaremos acerca de las propiedades fundamentales del espacio. En este libro se devela como una parte de las matematicas describen las propiedades mas fundamentales del espacio en que...

In previous volumes in this series, Advances in Metal and Semiconductor Clusters, the focus has been on atomic clusters of metals, semiconductors and carbon. Fundamental gas phase studies have been surveyed, and most recently scientists have explored new materials which can be produced from clusters or cluster precursors. In this latest volume, the focus shifts to clusters composed primarily of non-metal molecules or atoms which have one or more metal atoms seeded into the cluster as an impurity. These clusters provide model systems for metal ion solvation processes and metal-ligand...

(Complete work in Spanish) Remote sensing aerial spectral imaging was one of the first application areas where spectral imaging was used in order to identify and monitor the natural resources and covers on earth surface. Aerial spectral imaging is being developed with the aim of monitoring natural resources like coastal areas, forestry and extensive crops. The information contained in hyperspectral images allows the reconstruction of the energy curve radiated by the terrestrial surface throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. Hence, the characterization, identification and classification of...
