(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...

En la actualidad existe una enorme necesidad de eficiencia en el proceso de combustión en motores de encendido por comprensión, para lo que resulta necesario poder optimizar la formación de la mezcla aire-combustible. El objetivo principal de esta monografía es el modelado de chorros diésel en condiciones de motor, incluyendo fenómenos de atomización, transporte y evaporación. El libro se integra en la colección Temas Avanzados en Motores de Combustión Interna, cuyo objetivo es contribuir a divulgar los últimos desarrollos científicos y tecnológicos en el campo de los motores...

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...
