Paper and digital repositories in the United States
Authors: Kohl David F.
Published: December 2015

What you've asked me to talk about today is basically what can libraries do with all the stuff they have and continue to get. Where do we put it all; what do we do with it? As we know, libraries have three core functions: collecting, organizing and preserving the key documents of the human enterprise. And, with apologies to Saint Paul, the greatest of these is preservation. For without preservation neither of the first two ultimately matter. My assignment this morning is to bring you up to date on one specific aspect of the preservation function, library repositories, and indeed, library repository developments in the US. The plan for this morning's presentation is the following: after a brief background review to give us a context for American developments we will examine first the various kinds of print repositories and then the various initiatives for electronic repositories. Because other presentations at this conference deal with electronic repositories, the main focus today will be on U.S. print repositories.
Integrated Access to Hybrid Information Resources
Authors: Sadeh Tamar
Published: December 2015

This paper is entitled "Integrated access to hybrid information resources", but integrated access is just a means to reach an end. Our challenge is to create an integrated environment in a heterogeneous world. Users are not aware, and do not want to be aware, of the differences between the various information resources that their institution provides. All they want is to be able to attain the information they are looking for, in the simplest and most straightforward way possible.
ILL ICT Solutions in Germany - Cooperation by Networking
Authors: Mrowka Tatjana , Schmidt Ronald M.
Published: December 2015

Interlibrary loan (ILL) has a long and valid tradition in Germany as many libraries suffered severely by loss of materials due to the consequences of WWII. Ever since, libraries cooperated by negotiating ILL routing mechanisms using Union Catalogues as hubs to fulfill the enormous demands of their patrons. Since these Union Catalogues have been retro-converted into machine readable formats in the past decade, it was reasonable to use these data resources for an user friendly ILL service integrated into existing Digital Library infrastructures in Germany. The automated interlibrary loan network was born. The presentation will cover technical aspects and solutions, networking of existing regional networks into one nation-wide ILL service, and last not least regulations and financial affairs.
Innovation in Preserving and Conserving Book Heritage
Authors: Batori Armida
Published: December 2015

The Istituto Centrale di Patologia del Libro (ICPL) is a branch of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities whose work is chiefly concerned with research and specialized training in the conservation and restoration of library materials. The Institute was founded in 1938 during a truly propitious period for cultural heritage in general. It was in 1939, in fact, that Law No. 1089 - 'The Safeguarding of Articles of Artistic and Historic Interest' - was issued, and in the same year the Istituto Centrale di Restauro was established under the direction of Cesare Brandi.

Working places, furniture and technology: Strategies of flexibility of university library buildings - the case of Bozen/Bolzano
Authors: Kempf Klaus
Published: December 2015

For centuries people have visited libraries to find information, and the practical needs of housing collections and accommodating readers have been the driving force behind library design. As technology advances of the past 20 years have made it possible for people to find information without entering a library building, some have even asked whether the bricks-and-mortar library is doomed to extinction. But today we know that this (bad) vision hasn't come true. Of course, it was imperative to rethink library services fundamentally and in this context also to rethink completely the functions of library buildings. In this ongoing process one term became more and more a magic word - "flexibility"! When Gerhard Liebers, the doyen of building libraries in Germany, came back from a study tour to the United States in the early fifties, his experiences condensed in the term "flexibility". He was absolutely enchanted by the in those days modern and in Germany, at least in the field of library construction, still unknown modular construction principle (Liebers, 2002). Over the years the requirement of flexibility as an important aspect in the planning and briefing of new library buildings became more and more important. Today it is regarded as one of the most decisive, perhaps the basic principle of modern library buildings and in particular it got a new quality.
Developing an Electronic Resource Management System: Verde from Ex Libris
Authors: Sadeh Tamar
Published: December 2015

Rapid growth in the number of electronic resources and the complexity of managing e-collections has posed new challenges for libraries and hence requires the development of new tools. To meet this need, Ex Libris is developing a new product, an electronic resource management (ERM) system. The development process began in 2002 and has benefited from the company's 25 years of experience in providing libraries with various products - an integrated library system, digital asset management system, library portal, and link server. Working with an international focus group and development partners and interacting with the Digital Library Federation's Electronic Resource Management Initiative (DLF ERMI) committee, Ex Libris explored the various aspects of the e-resource life cycle. As a result, the Ex Libris ERM system was designed to address the issues raised through this collaboration and the DLF requirements. The interface of the system represents all of its components; it includes navigation options and facilitates workflows that support the various activities that librarians perform when dealing with electronic resources. This paper describes the development process of the Ex Libris ERM system. The emphasis is on the particular functionality required for managing e-resources and the ways in which existing systems in the library arena can handle specific tasks.
Six Flavors of Open Access: Successes and Possibilities for STM Journals
Authors: Okerson Ann
Published: December 2015

A broad commitment among participants in the scientific and scholarly publishing community to achieving the widest possible access to the literature has begun to bear fruit. Many of the players have had this kind of commitment all along, for example, through sharing around of preprints in physical sciences disciplines. As everyone knows, Paul Ginsparg's e-print server, arXiv, started in 1991, when he automated the high energy physics community's pre-electronic article-sharing practices, creating a mechanism for these articles to be submitted and mounted on a server. In turn, this innovation led the way for other disciplines; it is estimated today that perhaps 140 e-print servers from small to large-scale exist.
Changing libraries, encountering the law
Authors: Giannattasio Isabelle
Published: December 2015

The technical and legal issues associated with digital material, originally the concern principally of audiovisual librarians, now impact upon library management in general. Three factors, occurring simultaneously, have driven the digital agenda for library managers: the high profile accorded to the accomplishment of mission; the ever-increasing complexity of copyright legislation; and the Internet which has served as a catalyst for deregulation and globalisation. The purpose of this short article is to explore both the opportunities and the obstacles posed by these factors across three core areas of digital collection management: conservation, access and development. I shall draw upon the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) in this context. The BnF is a national library containing heritage collections, largely legal deposit and used for research purposes,. and also collections aimed at a far wider public.. The Audiovisual department is in charge of phonograms, videograms, multimedia and electronic documents. The collection was originally created in 1911 by the linguist Ferdinand Brunot of the Sorbonne University as 'Les Archives de la parole'. Subsequently the collection has been further developed mainly with published records, mostly as legal deposit. The collection now has over one million documents, in all kinds of technical devices and carriers. In France, three institutions share the audiovisual heritage collections: the BnF for documents, the Centre National de la Cinématographie (CNC) for film, and the Institut national de l'Audiovisuel for radio and television archives. In the BnF audiovisual collections are enlarged by legal deposit, by acquisitions and by donations. But whereas we own the carriers - a material property -, we do not own the intellectual property in the work. The protection of authors' rights and neighbouring rights are central to the actions we have to perform in order to accomplish our missions of conservation and giving access.
Challenges in Digitisation - Paper given in honour of Esko Häkli, Helsinki, 23 November 2001
Authors: Mittler Elmar
Published: December 2015

The digitisation of information seems to be the realization of mankind's dream. We can - in principle - get seamless information everywhere and at any time. Digital information seems therefore to be a victory in terms of space and time. But, on the contrary, if we look at the reality of digital information on the World Wide Web, it sometimes looks more like a nightmare because of the overwhelming mass of material, lack of quality control, and lack of stability. For these reasons electronic information presents a real challenge to libraries, the 'professional information institutes' of the world. Three main aspects of digitisation and the digital library will be discussed in this paper: · Retro-digitisation · Research and the digital library · Publishing as a distributed system
Digital Map Soup: what's Cooking in British Academic Libraries and are we helping our Users?
Authors: Moore John
Published: December 2015

My original intention had been to consider the roles being developed in British academic libraries to assist users in making full use of cartographic material that is available for their requirements - an almost predictable report on the blending of the old with the new and, again hopefully, coming to a slightly more positive vision of the future for the academic map library in the United Kingdom. That was before I received an e-mail from David Medyckyj-Scott, Research and Geo-Data Services Manager at the EDINA National Data Centre in Edinburgh and one of the key figures behind the implementation and development of the Digimap service to the UK Higher and Further Education sectors. Launched in 2000, Digimap delivers Ordnance Survey map data to subscribing institutions and allows staff and students to produce map extracts at set scales, to generate their own maps online or download map data to use with appropriate application software such as CAD or GIS. I do not think it is an overstatement to suggest that the advent of the Digimap service has been the most important and influential event in British academic map libraries in, at least, the last thirty years - and I say this as someone who was critically cautious of the service at the outset.

The main objectives of the Bologna declaration are to increase the mobility and employability of European higher education graduates, thus ensuring competitiveness of European Higher Education on the world scale.
The LIBER Workshops on the “Open Archives Initiative” at CERN, Geneva
Authors: Dekeyser Raf
Published: December 2015

In 2000 the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) was still in its early stages. It was often still called the Santa Fe Convention, which refers to a meeting in October 1999 of representatives from a number of institutions that maintained or planned e-print archives for open access, and from organizations interested in providing services on the data in those archives (such as search interfaces). This convention was an initiative of Paul Ginsparg, Rick Luce and Herbert Van de Sompel (all three working at that time at the Los Alamos National Laboratory) and it resulted in an agreement about a technical and organizational framework for achieving interoperability among e-print archives. The first European meeting on OAI took place in September 2000 in Lisbon, in conjunction with a meeting of the European Computer Driving Licence Foundation (ECDL), and therefore more oriented to computer specialists than to librarians.
Flood prevention and protection at the Bibliothèque nationale de France
Authors: Baryla Christiane
Published: December 2015

To begin with, let me introduce myself: my name is Christiane Baryla and I am the Director of the IFLA Core activity on Preservation and Conservation or PAC. This programme is hosted by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF) in Paris and this is the reason why I am authorised to speak about flood prevention and protection in the National Library. This paper is the last one in a morning dedicated to terrorism attacks and climate changes. When you listen to criminal experts and to flood specialists in Paris, they both say the same thing: we don’t know where or when, but we do know that a terrorist attack is possible and has to be planned for. We do know that a major flood in Paris may occur, but current weather forecasting knowledge is unable to give us any probability for the year or the month of that eventuality.
The UK’s Research Information Infrastructure: Key Issues and Challenges
Authors: Jubb Michael
Published: December 2015

Producing, disseminating, and using information is at the heart of any research and innovation system. Like other countries in Europe, the UK faces a number of challenges in seeking to develop an efficient infrastructure of information services to meet the needs and expectations of researchers who are exploiting new ways of operating and communicating with each other. This paper is based on a presentation made at the LIBER annual conference in Uppsala in July 2006, and sets out some of the key challenges, and the role of the Research Information Network ( RIN) in seeking to address them.
Evaluation as a Tool for Developing the Quality of Academic Libraries. Case Study at a Large and Traditional Research Oriented Scandinavian University
Authors: Sinikara Kaisa
Published: December 2015

The leaders of our universities will ask today if we offer those services that a top university requires and whether the proposed resources for the libraries are worth investing. Establishing the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) requires the establishing of quality systems. Quality assurance systems will be introduced throughout the entire European academic sector and will certainly have significant impact on the development of academic organizations. The collaborative effort to evaluate European universities is coordinated by ENQA, the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher education (Standards, 2005). Most European countries have developed a national quality assurance system. The solutions of different countries can be divided into three different classes: 1) Auditing countries[1] (institutional audit, quality audit, evaluation of quality assurance systems, enhancement-led institutional review): England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Finland, 2) Accreditation[2]: Holland, Germany and 3) Combination or another system: Norway, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden (Audits, 2006).
The Quality Assurance System for Higher Education in Norway - with Particular Reference to the Library Services
Authors: Salvesen Helge
Published: December 2015

Since the Pan-European Bologna Declaration of 1999, which introduced a qualitative improving programme for higher education in Europe, governments in many countries have initiated significant university reforms. In Norway the reforms were introduced fully in the academic year 2003-2004. This paper identifies the reforms and tries to relate them to the ideologies of new public management, globalization and efficiency.

Consortium Negotiations with Publishers - Past and Future
Authors: Carbone Pierre
Published: December 2015

Since the mid nineties, with the development of online access to information (journals, databases, e-books), libraries strengthened their cooperation. They set up consortia at different levels around the world, generally with the support of the public authorities, for negotiating collectively with the publishers and information providers general agreements for access to these resources. This cooperation has been reinforced at the international level with the exchange of experiences and the debates in the ICOLC seminars and statements. So did the French consortium Couperin, which is now gathering more than 200 academic and research institutions. The level of access and downloading from these resources is growing with geometrical progression, and reaches a scale with no comparison to ILL or access to printed documents, but the costs did not reduce and the libraries budgets did not increase. At first, agreements with the major journal publishers were based on cross-access, and evolved rapidly to the access at a large bundle of titles in the so-called Big deal. After experiencing the advantages of the Big deal, the libraries are now more sensitive to the limits and lack of flexibility and to cost-effectiveness. These Big deals were based on a model where online access fee is built on the cost of print subscriptions, and the problem for the consortia and for the publishers is now to evolve from this print plus online model to an e-only model, no more based on the historical amount of the print subscriptions, to a new deal. In many European countries, VAT legislation is an obstacle to e-only, and this problem must be discussed at the European level. This change to e-only takes place at a moment where changes in the scientific publishing world are important (mergers of publishing houses, growth of research and of scientific publishing in the developing countries, open access and open archives movement). The transition to e-only leads also the library consortia to deal with issues as preservation of print and electronic materials and perennial access to information.
Growing Your Own: developing leaders through succession planning
Authors: Murray Anne
Published: December 2015

Few professions have spent as much time contemplating their present and future as have academic librarians. Conspicuous by its absence until recently has been any systematic discussion of leadership, and more specifically the process of succession planning. In this paper I will argue that neglect of succession planning reflects a series of widespread assumptions which, even if once valid, can no longer inform strategic planning for academic libraries. Although it is clear that there are risks attached to succession planning, the experience of Cambridge University Library highlights both the need for such an exercise and the advantages that it can bring to the profession of academic librarianship as a whole.
LIBER-EBLIDA Digitisation Workshop
Authors: Ayris Paul
Published: December 2015

95 participants from 23 countries attended a Workshop on the Digitisation of Library Material in Europe, from 24 to 26 October 2007 in the Royal Library, Copenhagen, Denmark. The Workshop was jointly organised by LIBER and EBLIDA. In a full report on the Workshop on the JISC website, the JISC highlighted that ‘high on the agenda were moves towards a European Digital Library – the delivery of integrated access to the digitised collections of libraries, archives and museums across the EU.’ At a global level, this was indeed one of the main aims of the Workshop. As the Chair of the breakout groups, and the final session of the Workshop, I gave an interview for the JISC immediately after the final session where I looked at what I thought were some of the issues to be identified by the Workshop. The purpose of this paper is to describe some of these issues in a little more detail and outline what work LIBER and EBLIDA have undertaken in the wake of the significant momentum which the Workshop has engendered for European digitisation activity.

Bringing Research Libraries into Europeana: Establishing a Library-Domain Aggregator
Authors: Chambers Sally , Schallier Wouter
Published: December 2015

Europeana's future strategy requires a domain-level aggregator of library content, positioned alongside other domain aggregators for museums, archives and audio-visual collections. To enable this, LIBER (Association of European Research Libraries), CENL (Conference of European National Librarians) and CERL (Consortium of European Research Libraries) have joined forces to submit the ‘Europeana Libraries’ project proposal to the European Commission in the context of the CIP-ICT PSP-2010-4 ‘Digital Libraries’ programme in early Summer 2010. This paper outlines the vision of the ‘Europeana Libraries’ project, which will enable The European Library to become the library-domain aggregator for Europeana.
Establishing a Research Information System as Part of an Integrated Approach to Information Management: Best Practice at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
Authors: Scholze Frank , Maier Jan
Published: December 2015

The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is one of the largest research and higher education organisations in the world focusing on engineering and natural sciences. At present KIT, under the chairmanship of its executive board, is installing an extensive current research information system (CRIS) covering all institutes and facilities of the organisation. The assumption underlying the project is that a consistent overview of research performance has become fundamental for the international competitiveness of research institutions and is increasingly important for strategic decisions at the executive level. Ultimately, it also leads to better data and control in rankings at higher education assessments. The new research information system systematically maps all of KIT’s processes and instruments to obtain, connect, present and utilise the research metadata of active researchers. This reduces the documentation workload for researchers, for the executive level and central units such as the library, and at the same time allows for and facilitates an overall view and the aggregation and visualisation of research metadata. Our vision is to build a federally structured network of systems that gathers information on KIT’s publications, research competence, research projects, patents and technological offers by retrieving data from external and internal sources as well as directly from the researchers. The network facilitates linking and aggregating of data and provides unique identifiers for individual researchers and organizational units. With its consistent data model the research information system also fosters the organisational development of KIT, which was formed in 2009 by the merger of a university and a national research centre. The researchers and their activities are at the core of the research information system. The system substantially reduces their administrative burden in documenting project information and publications. Automatic data import from external online sources and repositories has the big advantage that publication data are acquired and validated only once and can be used subsequently for manifold purposes such as websites, CVs, publication lists and reference management software. Due to the complexity of workflows, internal and external sources and the organisational infrastructure that is required for such an implementation, KIT has chosen a commercial software solution (by AVEDAS AG) as the basic installation, and in cooperation with AVEDAS will expand it and adjust it to a tailor-made system that covers the entire KIT publication and research life cycle. The CRIS at KIT is part of a larger integrated and service-oriented approach to information management (Karlsruhe Integrated Information Management — KIM).
Publishing WWII aerial photographs in geographical and library information systems
Authors: Verhelst Elisabeth , Missel Liesbeth , Vanmeulebrouk Bas , Rip Frans I.
Published: December 2015

The Library of the Dutch Wageningen University and Research centre houses a collection of aerial photographs taken by the Allied Air Forces. The collection is part of a project that aims to publish these images in  a user friendly way so that they are accessible to a wide audience. This paper describes the nature of the collection and its particular requirements for publication, as well as the design and development of the application for collection presentation. The collection’s geographic characteristics dictated that the collection be presented together with other geographic materials such as digital historical maps and actual aerial photos. To create this information compilation, technologies from geographical information management were combined with technologies from library automation. This involved mainly metadata specification and management, but also usability design.
The Searchbench - Combining Sentence-semantic, Full-text and Bibliographic Search in Digital Libraries
Authors: Schäfer Ulrich , Kiefer Bernd , Spurk Christian , Steffen Jörg , Wang Rui , Weitz Benjamin , Wolska Magdalena
Published: December 2015

We describe a novel approach to precise searching in the full content of digital libraries. The Searchbench (for search workbench) is based on sentence-wise syntactic and semantic natural language processing (NLP) of both born-digital and scanned publications in PDF format. The term born-digital means natively digital, i.e. prepared electronically using typesetting systems such as LaTeX, OpenOffice, and the like. In the Searchbench, queries can be formulated as (possibly underspecified) statements, consisting of simple subject-predicate-object constructs such as ‘algorithm improves word alignment’. This reduces the number of false hits in large document collections when the search words happen to appear close to each other, but are not semantically related. The method also abstracts from passive voice and predicate synonyms. Moreover, negated statements can be excluded from the search results, and negated antonym predicates again count as synonyms (e.g. not include = exclude).In the Searchbench, a sentence-semantic search can be combined with search filters for classical full-text, bibliographic metadata and automatically computed domain terms. Auto-suggest fields facilitate text input. Queries can be bookmarked or emailed. Furthermore, a novel citation browser in the Searchbench allows graphical navigation in citation networks. These have been extracted automatically from metadata and paper texts. The citation browser displays short phrases from citation sentences at the edges in the citation graph and thus allows students and researchers to quickly browse publications and immerse into a new research field. By clicking on a citation edge, the original citation sentence is shown in context, and optionally also in the original PDF layout.To showcase the usefulness of our research, we have a applied it to a collection of currently approx. 25,000 open access research papers in the field of computational linguistics and language technology, the ACL Anthology ( http://aclweb.org/anthology). The Searchbench user interface is a web application running in every modern, JavaScript-enabled web browser, also on smart phones and tablet computers. The system is a free and public service at http://aclasb.dfki.de. Because the NLP technology is domain-independent, it could also be applied to newspaper texts, technical documentation, or scientific publications from other disciplines. The aim of this paper is to make the benefits of this new, language technology based approach known in library research and related fields.This article summarises 9 peer reviewed publications from the past three years that have been published in international conferences and workshops in the area of computational linguistics, and tries to present them in an appropriate way to the LIBER audience. The original papers contain more details and are freely available from the author’s homepage[1] or via the Searchbench[2].
Enhanced Publications: Data Models and Information Systems
Authors: Bardi Alessia , Manghi Paolo
Published: December 2015

“Enhanced publications” are commonly intended as digital publications that consist of a mandatory narrative part (the description of the research conducted) plus related “parts”, such as datasets, other publications, images, tables, workflows, devices. The state-of-the-art on information systems for enhanced publications has today reached the point where some kind of common understanding is required, in order to provide the methodology and language for scientists to compare, analyse, or simply discuss the multitude of solutions in the field. In this paper, we thoroughly examined the literature with a two-fold aim: firstly, introducing the terminology required to describe and compare structural and semantic features of existing enhanced publication data models; secondly, proposing a classification of enhanced publication information systems based on their main functional goals.

Published: December 2015

Las mezclas asfálticas son el material más utilizado en la fabricación de pavimentos y los ensayos que permiten caracterizarlas son costosos y demorados. Por esta razón, mediante esta investigación se planteó establecer la viabilidad del uso del ensayo Fénix en mezclas asfálticas colombianas con granulometrías del Instituto de Desarrollo Urbano (IDU) y del Instituto Nacional de Vías (INVIAS) con diferentes características. El estudio inició con la fabricación de probetas Fénix con diferentes materiales (Agregados, asfaltos, asfaltita, pavimento asfalto reciclado (RAP), cal, cemento) y su ejecución a 15 °C, una velocidad de 1 mm/min y la medición de los parámetros del ensayo. De los resultados obtenidos de resistencia a tracción, índice de rigidez a tracción e índice de energía, área elástica y área de fluencia, se estableció que el ensayo Fénix es un procedimiento eficaz, eficiente, económico, rápido y sencillo para determinar las propiedades mecánicas y dinámicas de las mezclas asfálticas estudiadas, especialmente mediante el análisis de los parámetros de las curvas carga-desplazamiento, irrelevantemente de la mezcla asfáltica fabricada.

Published: December 2015

Uno de los problemas de los centros urbanos es la generación de “Residuos en la construcción, demolición, rehabilitación y remodelación – RCD” el cual empeora por la gestión y control dada para la correcta disposición final de éstos; además, por el poco uso potencial de reincorporación en las cadenas productivas, generando impactos socio-ambientales y económicos; caso específico de la ciudad de Bogotá D.C. Luego de la cuantificación, caracterización y análisis de los residuos generados In Situ, en el área de influencia, apoyados de tendencias y herramientas como el diseño de sistemas productivos y el concepto de aplicación en ingeniería de la ecoeficiencia, se obtuvo un diagnóstico, a través de la investigación, que permitió estructurar la proposición de un proceso de reciclaje y la identificación de recursos básicos de funcionamiento; además de la estimación y proyección de las tecnologías necesarias. Se formuló una propuesta logística con cantidades potenciales de los materiales a gestionar, con parámetros a nivel internacional y normatividad nacional, generando una distribución en planta piloto que cumple con las medidas de diseño de las unidades de trabajo necesarias para la futura Unidad de manejo. En general, con el modelo de gestión, se atendió lo estipulado en el Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial – POT, respecto a su ubicación y razón social, profundizado en la ecoeficiente, en conjunto con el sistema logístico, se planteó la pregunta de investigación, que identificó los recursos esenciales para una futura “Unidad Logística de Reciclaje Piloto de RCD para Bogotá D.C.”.

En Colombia, el uso del concreto reforzado con fibras de acero (CRFA) es muy limitado,debido a que en el país no existe suficiente evidencia experimental y requisitos reglamentarios al respecto. En el artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación experimental y analítica sobre el comportamiento del CRFA elaborado con fibras ZP-306, sometidas a esfuerzos de compresión. El estudio involucra la revisión y discusión de los modelos disponibles en la literatura, así como un programa experimental que incluye el ensayo de 48 especímenes. A partir de un análisis de regresión de los datos medidos, se proponen ecuaciones para estimar las principales propiedades mecánicas del CRFA, tales como resistencia a compresión, módulo de elasticidad y relación de Poisson. Las ecuaciones correlacionan las propiedades mecánicas con las principales características de las fibras de acero, tales como dosificación y relación de aspecto.

En este trabajo se estudió el comportamiento tribológico, la rigidez y dureza, de la superficie de la aleación Ti6Al4V ELI después de llevar a cabo un tratamiento de nitruración por descarga intensa de plasma a temperaturas de 450, 480 y 520 °C. El par tribológico empleado fue metal-metal (pin de Ti6Al4V ELI - disco de Ti6Al4V ELI con tratamiento) para el respectivo cálculo del coeficiente de fricción. Los ensayos de nanoindentación se realizaron con una punta de ultra alta dureza de módulo de rigidez conocido, que permitió obtener la dureza promedio y el módulo de Young en GPa, de acuerdo con las normas ISO 14577 y ASTM G99-95 respectivamente. Para la caracterización del sustrato, se empleó microscopia electrónica de barrido, microscopia de fuerza atómica y difracción de rayos X, obteniendo así características importantes del comportamiento elástico-plástico, antes y después de aplicarse la nitruración a la aleación por descarga intensa de plasma

La alta demanda de energía en sectores clave de la productividad incita a una búsqueda permanente de nuevas formas de utilizar los recursos naturales no renovables, que contribuya al mejoramiento de aspectos como sostenibilidad y eficiencia. Los Sistemas Inteligentes de Transporte Verdes buscan el mejoramiento de la movilidad, la reducción de la accidentalidad y la mitigación del impacto ambiental mediante la gestión inteligente del tráfico vehicular a través de las Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones (TIC). Este artículo presenta una revisión de las Redes Vehiculares Ad hoc (VANET), sus características y enfoques, además de la clasificación de sus aplicaciones, los modelos de movilidad utilizados, y una caracterización para el modelado del tráfico vehicular, junto con sus particularidades, en Colombia. Se concluye con la tendencia actual de simulación y el desarrollo futuro del proyecto de investigación.
Biosorción de Cd, Pb y Zn por biomasa pretratada de algas rojas, cáscara de naranja y tuna.
Authors: Vizcano Mendoza Lissette , Fuentes Molina Natalia
Published: December 2015

Debido a su movilidad en los ecosistemas y a su toxicidad para las formas superiores de vida, los metales pesados Cd, Pb y Zn son priorizados como unos de los contaminantes inorgánicos más importantes debido al alto riesgo que representan para el medio ambiente. Con el objeto de disminuir su concentración se diseñó un sistema para evaluar su remoción empleando biomasa de algas rojas, cáscaras de naranja (Citrus sp.) y tuna guajira (Opuntia sp.). Se estudió la influencia del pretratamiento y el empaquetamiento mediante ensayos tipo batch, en los que se emplearon soluciones de sodio y calcio. Se obtuvo como resultado una mayor capacidad de sorción de las algas modificadas con NaOH 0.1 N y de la naranja y la tuna con modificación sucesiva con NaOH y CaCl2 0.2 M, y una afección poco significativa (≤1%) del proceso de sorción al empacar la biomasa el placas planas de tul poliéster. La eficiencia de remoción se determinó mediante un reactor de flujo continuo de columna fija con un volumen líquido de 400 mL, 75 g de biomasa y tiempos de retención promedio de 1 y 2 h. Los resultados mostraron una eficiencia similar de las tres
biomasas para remover Cd y Pb, con promedios superiores al 95%, mientras que el Zn se removió con mejor eficiencia (62%) al emplear tuna modificada como sorbente. Finalmente, el material se calcinó a 700 °C con lo que se obtuvo una ceniza estable frente a soluciones ácidas, lo cual garantiza la captura de los metales removidos.

En este número de la Revista Colombiana de Obstetricia y Ginecología presentamos tres estudios relacionados con el cáncer de cuello uterino. El primero, aborda los conocimientos y comportamientos referidos por las pacientes al recibir el resultado de una citología anormal; el segundo, describe la frecuencia del resultado de citología de células escamosas atípicas que no descartan lesión escamosa intraepitelial de alto grado (ASC-H), y el tercero, describe la calidad de vida en mujeres con diagnóstico de cáncer de cérvix. Esta coyuntura nos ha brindado la oportunidad de fijar un punto de vista acerca de cuáles son los problemas que se deben investigar a nivel local para mejorar la atención individual de las pacientes con esta patología y lograr mejores resultados a través de programas de salud pública en este campo, y, también, hacer una reflexión sobre el papel de los ginecólogos generales y subespecialistas en la prevención, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de las lesiones precancerosas del cérvix como también del cáncer invasor de cuello uterino para mejorar los indicadores de impacto de esta patología en el país.
La Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre la Utilización de las Comunicaciones Electrónicas en los Contratos Internacionales: relevancia práctica y lecciones aprendidas
Authors: Castellani Luca G.
Published: December 2015

La Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre la Utilización de las Comunicaciones Electrónicas en los Contratos Internacionales es el primer tratado suscrito con el objetivo de facilitar el uso transfronterizo de las comunicaciones electrónicas en las relaciones comerciales. Este artículo describe los objetivos de la política detrás de la preparación de dicho instrumento, su ámbito de aplicación y sus principales disposiciones sustantivas. Se hace referencia específica a la interacción de esa Convención con otros tratados ya adoptados por Colombia y otros Estados, como la Convención sobre el Reconocimiento y Ejecución de las Sentencias Arbitrales Extranjeras (la “Convención de Nueva York”) y la Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre Contratos de Compraventa Internacional de Mercaderías (cisg). Por último, el artículo analiza los patrones en la adopción de la Convención en la última década y concluye que Colombia debería considerar la posibilidad de ratificar la Convención, que ha firmado en 2007, para fortalecer su economía digital mediante la modernización de la legislación vigente sobre el comercio electrónico.
