Beneficios extraordinarios y renta petrolera en el mercado hidrocarburífero argentino

espanolLas politicas neoliberales implementadas en la decada de 1990 tenian entre sus objetivos principales liberalizar los mercados y permitir la expansion del sector privado en los diversos sectores de la economia. En Argentina, dichas politicas abarcaron actividades sensibles y estrategicas como el mercado de hidrocarburos, en tanto que en apenas tres anos se elimino la intervencion estatal vigente a traves de una serie de instituciones y se privatizo a la principal empresa del pais, YPF. Los supuestos bajo los cuales se implementaron estas medidas, giraban en torno de que la “desregulacion” del sector redundaria en un incremento de los niveles de inversion de riesgo y, consecuentemente, en la expansion de los volumenes de explotacion y de los stocks de reservas. Dado que la dinamica del sector hidrocarburifero en Argentina luego de las reformas ya fue desarrollado en otros estudios, el objetivo principal de este articulo es analizar, por un lado, el impacto que tuvo esta liberalizacion en el proceso de acumulacion de las empresas a traves del estudio de su rentabilidad y, por el otro, cual fue la magnitud y la trayectoria de la renta petrolera generada y como se distribuyo entre los principales actores desde el inicio de las reformas hasta finales del decenio de 2000. De este modo, se busca aportar elementos de juicio a mas de veinte anos de las transformaciones estructurales EnglishAmong the main objectives implemented by the neoliberal policies in the `90s that were pursued, we can find the liberalization of markets to allow the expansion of private sector in various aspects of the economy. In Argentina, these policies affect sensitive and strategic activities such as the hydrocarbure market. In just three years existing state intervention was removed through a series of institutions and by privatizing the country’s main company, YPF. The circumstances, under which these measures were implemented, revolved around the “deregulation” of the sector that would result in increased levels of investment risk and, consequently, the volume expansion of operating and reserve stocks. As the dynamics of the hydrocarbure sector in Argentina after the reforms already were developed in other studies, the main objective of this paper is to analyze, on one hand, the impact of this liberalization in the accumulation process of the companies through a study of profitability and, on the other hand, what was the magnitude and trajectory of oil revenues generated and how they were distributed among the major players from the start of the reforms to the late 2000s. The intent is to provide valuable information that might allow understanding the structural transformation of the past twenty years
CROSS-USER CORRELATION FOR DETECTING SERVER-SIDE MULTI-TARGET INTRUSION

Technologies are generally described for time-correlating administrative events with virtual machines of a datacenter across many users and/or deployments. In some examples, the correlation of administrative events enables the detection of confluences of repeated unusual events that may indicate a mass hacking attack, thereby allowing attacks lacking network signatures to be detected. Detection of the attack may also allow the repair of affected systems and the prevention of further hacking before the vulnerability has been analyzed or repaired.
An investigation of diesel–ignited propane dual fuel combustion in a heavy-duty diesel engine

Abstract This paper presents a detailed experimental analysis of diesel–ignited propane dual fuel combustion on a 12.9-l, six-cylinder, production heavy-duty diesel engine. Gaseous propane was fumigated upstream of the turbocharger air inlet and ignited using direct injection of diesel sprays. Results are presented for brake mean effective pressures (BMEP) from 5 to 20 bar and different percent energy substituted (PES) by propane at a constant engine speed of 1500 rpm. The effect of propane PES on apparent heat release rates, combustion phasing and duration, fuel conversion and combustion efficiencies, and engine-out emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), smoke, carbon monoxide (CO), and total unburned hydrocarbons (HC) were investigated. Exhaust particle number concentrations and size distributions were also quantified for diesel–ignited propane combustion. With stock engine parameters, the maximum propane PES was limited to 86%, 60%, 33%, and 25% at 5, 10, 15, and 20 bar BMEPs, respectively, either by high maximum pressure rise rates (MPRR) or by excessive HC and CO emissions. With increasing PES, while fuel conversion efficiencies increased slightly at high BMEPs or decreased at low BMEPs, combustion efficiencies uniformly decreased. Also, with increasing PES, NOx and smoke emissions were generally decreased but these reductions were accompanied by higher HC and CO emissions. Exhaust particle number concentrations decreased with increasing PES at low loads but showed the opposite trends at higher loads. At 10 bar BMEP, by adopting a different fueling strategy, the maximum possible propane PES was extended to 80%. Finally, a limited diesel injection timing study was performed to identify the optimal operating conditions for the best efficiency-emissions-MPRR tradeoffs.

Engineering compass

The ENCOMPASS project principally aims to create a fully digital integrated design decision support (IDDS) system to cover the whole manufacturing chain for a laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process encompassing all individual processes within in. The ENCOMPASS concept takes a comprehensive view of the L-PBF process chain through synergising and optimising the key stages. The integration at digital level enables numerous synergies between the steps in the process chain and in addition, the steps themselves are being optimised to improve the capability and efficiency of the overall manufacturing chain.

ENCOMPASS addresses the three key steps in the process chain: component design, build process, and post-build process steps (post-processing and inspection). The links between these stages are being addressed by the following five interrelations: 
1.	Between the design process and both the build and post-build processes in terms of manufacturing constraints / considerations to optimise overall component design 
2.	Between the design process and build process component-specific L-PBF scanning strategies and parameters to optimise processing and reduce downstream processing
3.	Between the design process and the build and post-build processes in terms of adding targeted feature quality tracking to the continuous quality monitoring throughout the process chain 
4.	Between the build and post-build processes by using build specific processing strategies and adaptation based on actual quality monitoring data (for inspection and post-processing) 
5.	Between all stages and the data management system with the integrated design decision support (IDDS) system

By considering the entire AM process chain, rather than the AM machine in isolation, ENCOMPASS will integrate process decision making tools and produce substantial increases in AM productivity, with clear reductions in change over times and re-design, along with increased ‘right-first time’, leading to overall reductions in production costs, materials wastage, and over-processing. This will lead to higher economic and environmental sustainability of manufacturing, and re-inforce the EU’s position in industrial leadership in laser based AM.

The staple applying assembly includes a distal surface defining openings and a driver that is operable to drive an annular array of staples through the openings of the distal surface and into tissue. The adjustment member is operable to adjust the position of the anvil to thereby vary a gap distance defined between the anvil and the distal surface. The adjustment member includes a first section and a second section. The user input feature is operable to actuate the driver to thereby drive the staples. The bailout assembly is operable to selectively separate the first section of the adjustment member from the second section of the adjustment member.
Marine aquaculture in the context of sustainable coastal development - What influences decision-making processes in Israel and Germany?

The primary objective of this thesis was to shed light on the marine aquaculture sector in each of the two countries and to sort out chances and risks for future mariculture development in the two regions. The innovative idea of this research was to analyze the attitudes towards marine aquaculture from a public, i.e. social and political point of view. 
This thesis yields data and results from quantitative and qualitative surveys carried out during the project in both Israel and Germany. The information provided here is suitable to guide and support policy-making in the marine aquaculture sector in each of the two countries and beyond.
Predicting Soil Sorption Coefficients of Phenanthrene Using a Neural Network Model

Background: Sorption coefficient modeling is an effective technique for investigating fate and behavior of environmental pollutants. As a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), Phenanthrene is an important organic pollutant, mainly due to its health risks for humankind. Objectives: To offer an alternative for laborious and high- priced experimental measurements, this study aimed to introduce an accurate artificial intelligence-based model, using minimum input data, to predict soil sorption coefficients (Koc and Kd) of phenanthrene. Materials and Methods: The required data were derived from previous studies carried out on soil samples taken from an under pasture paddock at Flaxley agriculture centre, mount lofty ranges, South Australia (Ahangar et al., 2008). An eight-fold cross-validation technique was also used to choose the best performance model and to obtain more authentic and precise results. Results: Multilayer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network (ANN) model with a 1-6-1 structure was chosen which explained 97% and 95% of Kd and Koc variances, respectively. The only input data was soil organic carbon content. Conclusions: Based on this study, the ANN method is a promising alternative for conventional methods in modeling and estimating sorption coefficients in relation to soil organic carbon.
Hydrogen-induced embrittlement of fine-grained twin-roll cast AZ31 in distilled water and NaCl solutions

Twin-roll cast magnesium has a fine-grained microstructure and exhibits relatively high strength and ductility. However, hydrogen-induced embrittlement in magnesium alloys can limit the mechanical properties substantially and can lead to sudden and unpredictable failure. In this study, embrittlement is determined by means of slow strain rate tests (SSRT) and instrumental indentation tests (IIT). The latter enables analysis of embrittlement under the suppression of crack propagation mechanisms and surface influences (e.g. notch effects due to pitting) and is a new technique for the investigation of hydrogen embrittlement (HE). In this study, the influence of immersion time and elastic deformation on the HE of twin-roll cast and heat-treated magnesium sheets (AZ31) was analysed. Distilled water and two NaCl solutions (0.05 and 0.5 wt%) served as analysing media. It is shown that both influencing factors significantly affect the rate and the degree of HE. Relatively short immersion in distilled water led to a substantial decrease in strain and an increase in brittleness, even without external mechanical loading. In contrast, strength was not affected by immersion in water and the resulting HE. In comparison to immersion in distilled water, immersion in sodium chloride solution led to a total loss of plasticity and a decrease in strength during SSRT without a distinct increase in embrittlement during IIT. Analysis by X-ray diffractometry did not determine a detectable amount of magnesium hydrides in the embrittled AZ31 structure.
Development of the inner ear

The vertebrate inner ear is a sensory organ of exquisite design and sensitivity. It responds to sound, gravity and movement, serving both auditory (hearing) and vestibular (balance) functions. Almost all cell types of the inner ear, including sensory hair cells, sensory neurons, secretory cells and supporting cells, derive from the otic placode, one of the several ectodermal thickenings that arise around the edge of the anterior neural plate in the early embryo. The developmental patterning mechanisms that underlie formation of the inner ear from the otic placode are varied and complex, involving the reiterative use of familiar signalling pathways, together with roles for transcription factors, transmembrane proteins, and extracellular matrix components. In this review, I have selected highlights that illustrate just a few of the many recent discoveries relating to the development of this fascinating organ system.
Atom arrays with resonant dipolar exchange interactions

This project will study out-of-equilibrium dynamics of isolated and dissipative quantum systems, and interacting topological matter using a new type of synthetic many-body system pioneered in my group: assembled arrays of individual laser-cooled atoms held in microscopic optical traps. Unlike most traditional approaches exploiting van der Waals interactions, here the atoms will be coupled by resonant dipole interactions, a new opportunity that we introduced recently. This interaction naturally realizes a spin model where the spin excitations behave as particles hopping between sites and strongly interact with each other. The unique feature of this interaction is that it allows for the exploration of many-body problems both in a unitary regime where the interactions are fully conservative, and in a regime with collective dissipation by the emission of light. We will investigate these two situations using two different setups. The unitary regime will rely on an existing platform where rubidium atoms are excited to Rydberg states to implement large interactions. The dissipative regime will be explored on a new apparatus specifically built for the study of controlled, collective dissipation. It will be based on arrays of individual dysprosium atoms coupled by resonant interactions on an optical transition. These interactions, combined with our ability to vary the geometry of the arrays, to perform high-fidelity manipulations of individual atoms and measure correlation functions, will allow us to address open questions, in collaboration with theorists. We will (i) investigate out-of-equilibrium quantum magnetism in spin systems, in particular with frustrated geometries; (ii) seek to obtain the first realization of a bosonic fractional topological insulator; (iii) prepare collective states with tailored coupling to light, study the emergence of quantum correlations in a dissipative regime, and generate a new kind of interaction-induced single-photon non-linearity. r
Practical method for computing the maximum loading point based on load flow with step size optimization

In this paper a fast, practical maximum loading point (MLP) calculation method is presented. The calculation process is based on the properties of the normal vector to the feasibility boundary computed close to MLP, which is calculated through a load flow method with step size optimization (LFSSO). Moreover, a practical procedure is added to the overall calculation process to include the operator's information on the acceptable error in the final result. The basic process is characterized by obtaining consecutive approximations of the MLP within the infeasible region. In each step, a correction factor based on the maximum admitted error in the final MLP is applied. Reactive power generation limits are taken into account. The MLP is accurately obtained after just a few steps, demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed method. Simulation results for IEEE test and realistic systems are shown to validate the proposed method.
Wittgenstein, Heidegger and Drawing Lines in Organization Studies

We argue that when considering questions of ontology in organization studies, much can be gained by issuing reminders of the normative conditions by which meanings are fixed. In attempting to fix meaning and the conditions of meaning epistemologically, however, critical realist and social constructionist positions tend to eschew such normative considerations and assert instead how the fixity of meaning is related to causal powers on the one hand, or to discursive habit on the other. In both cases there is an urge to extend from, and somehow complete, organizational experience by drawing what we call general lines. The critical realists do this by distinguishing the necessary from the contingent, the social constructionists by arguing language goes all the way through making such a distinction impossible. Enlisting arguments and concepts from Heidegger and Wittgenstein, as well as discussing the illustrative case of the rights and wrongs of cigarette production, we suggest an alternative normative framing for questions of meaning in which necessity and contingency cohabit, something we liken to the drawing of local lines.
Characterization of polyether-poly(methyl methacrylate)-lithium perchlorate blend electrolytes

Solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) systems based on interpenetrating blends of poly(ethylene oxide-co-propylene oxide) and poly(methyl methacrylate) host matrices, with lithium perchlorate as guest salt, were prepared. These electrolytes were presented as free-standing films, and their thermal and electrochemical properties were characterized by conductivity and electrochemical stability measurements.



The properties of the interpenetrating blends of poly(ethylene oxide-co-propylene oxide) and poly(methyl methacrylate) host matrices as the electrolyte component of a solid-state electrochromic device are reported and the results obtained suggest that this electrolyte provides an encouraging performance in this application. The most conducting electrolyte composition of this SPE system is the formulation designated as SPE2-0PC (5.01 × 10−4 S cm−1 at about 57°C). The lowest decomposition temperature was registered with the SPE6-15PC composition (233°C). The average transmittance in the visible region of the spectrum was above 41% for all the samples analyzed. After coloration the device assembled with 71 wt% PC presented an average transmittance of 15.71% and an optical density at 550 nm of 0.61. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Solving a Neurologic Mystery: Recognizing Rheumatic Fever in the Pediatric Patient

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS The mother reported that her child has been fatigued during the past month and sleeping more than usual. The child had been healthy until about two weeks ago when the mother noticed uncontrollable twitching, mood swings, and agitation. The uncontrollable body movements became progressively worse and were more prominent on the left side. Two days ago the child s speech became slurred and it sounded as though ‘‘her tongue was too big for her mouth.’’ The child was seen in an emergency department, and her laboratory tests and head computed tomography scan were normal. She was diagnosed as having a psychiatric disorder and released with instructions to follow up with her primary care provider, with no referral for a psychiatric evaluation. Today she began having left-sided weakness as well as unsteadiness on her feet.
Post-traumatic Stress Symptoms among Iranian Parents of Children during Cancer Treatment

Support of parents of children with cancer requires healthcare personnel to be knowledgeable about the prevalence of post-traumatic stress symptoms among Iranian parents of children with cancer. This study was conducted to fulfill this aim in the South-East of Iran. Using the Impact of Event Scale -Revised, for parents of children with cancer, 200 parents in two hospitals supervised by Kerman University of Medical Sciences, were assessed. The total mean score of post-traumatic stress symptoms was 41.70. Among all categories of the Impact of Event Scale -Revised, the highest mean belonged to the category of 'intrusion' 16.03 (SD = 6.24) and the lowest one belonged to the category of 'hyperarousal' 10.68 (SD = 4.58). Based on the results, mothers had higher post-traumatic stress symptoms compared with fathers (p < 0.05). Adjusted odds ratio showed that the prevalence of post-traumatic stress symptoms among mothers was 2.49 times more than that among fathers (p = 0.01). There was no association between sociodemographic data and post-traumatic stress symptoms. More research is needed to elucidate the Iranian parents' experience of having children with cancer.
Experimental validation of plastic constitutive hardening relationship based upon the direction of the Net Burgers Density Vector

Abstract We present a new methodology for experimental validation of single crystal plasticity constitutive relationships based upon spatially resolved measurements of the direction of the Net Burgers Density Vector, which we refer to as the β -field. The β -variable contains information about the active slip systems as well as the ratios of the Geometrically Necessary Dislocation (GND) densities on the active slip systems. We demonstrate the methodology by comparing single crystal plasticity finite element simulations of plane strain wedge indentations into face-centered cubic nickel to detailed experimental measurements of the β -field. We employ the classical Peirce–Asaro–Needleman (PAN) hardening model in this study due to the straightforward physical interpretation of its constitutive parameters that include latent hardening ratio, initial hardening modulus and the saturation stress. The saturation stress and the initial hardening modulus have relatively large influence on the β -variable compared to the latent hardening ratio. A change in the initial hardening modulus leads to a shift in the boundaries of plastic slip sectors with the plastically deforming region. As the saturation strength varies, both the magnitude of the β -variable and the boundaries of the plastic slip sectors change. We thus demonstrate that the β -variable is sensitive to changes in the constitutive parameters making the variable suitable for validation purposes. We identify a set of constitutive parameters that are consistent with the β -field obtained from the experiment.
NARAYANA HRUDAYALAYA CARDIAC CARE HOSPITAL FOR THE POOR: LEADERSHIP CASE STUDY ANALYSIS AND KEY LESSONS FOR JORDAN

Narayana Hrudayalaya (NH) in Bangalore, India is one of the largest hospitals in the world. Its status as one of the largest cardiac surgery centers is becoming mythical. The rich come for better cardiac care, and the poor come for the world's merciful care. NH was founded in May 2001 and is the pet project of the famous cardiac surgeon team led by Dr. Devi Shetty under the umbrella of the Asia Heart Foundation. NH grew quickly and was soon able to receive patients from around the world. Internal and external environmental factors, including political, economic, sociocultural and technological aspects, have affected the case of NH. Several lessons can be learned from the success of Dr. Shetty’s project. Most impressively, we see how one person’s dream can change the world. We prefer to think of Dr. Shetty’s achievements as a smile that has become an attitude, not the laughter that would vanish soon afterward. One of our primary recommendations is to start an in-situ school of management to teach the scientific basis of management and leadership. The development of candid and knowledgeable leaders with clear visions and ground-level grasps of reality is critical for our rapidly evolving healthcare system and enabling resources and efforts to be directed the right way.
