Abstract:
Abstract Spanish explorers and colonists inadvertently started a massive experiment in evolutionary genetics when they accidentally introduced Avena barbata to California from Spain during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Assays of the Spanish and Californian gene pools of this species for 15 loci show that the present day Spanish gene pool, particularly that of Southwestern Spain, is identical or virtually identical to that of California for five loci and closely similar for nine loci. Despite their similar allelic and single-locus genotypic compositions, the present-day Spanish and Californian gene pools are differently structured on a multilocus genetic basis. Evolutionary implications of these results are discussed.

Abstract:
It very well may be said that American Literature may have started in 1493 when Columbus composed his acclaimed letters to King Ferdinand of Spain. Different travellers and explorers, who followed, composed letters to their companions and family members at home. These 'letters home' mark the start of the put down account of the threats they needed to confront, yet in addition to the marvels that should have been seen all over. The interest was energized at home in light of these letters. The letters gave reasonable and striking records. An ever increasing number of individuals were enticed to cruise for the New World to settle there. Such courageous spirits came not from England alone, yet these spirits originated from most different nations of Europe-Spain, Portugal, France, Holland, and numerous others. Along these lines, there established the framework of the 'solidarity in decent variety' which is such a noticeable element of American culture.

Abstract:
The American continent found by the Europeans at the dawn of the Age of Discovery, immediately drawn the eye of adventurers who dreamt of fame and wealth. Special attention is turned to the representatives of England, who quite missed division of the world between the two great Catholic powers of that time – Portugal and Spain. English explorers were interested not only in natural resources of the New World, but particularly in its inhabitants. Testimonies on the First Nations were reported to Europe mainly by the Spaniards, often in an overly tendentious manner. The discoverers, pirates and privateers of Elizabethan era were interested in all details that can be useful to Europeans, such as appearance, language, culture and lifestyle of indigenous population of the New World, peculiarities of their social structure, religious attitude. The evolution of ideas and formation of image of the holds special place in the modern historical science. Review of the testimonies of English discovers, pirates and privateers who first arrived to the American continent during Elizabethan era, allows reconstructing impression on region at the early stages of its colonization, as well as tracing the peculiarities of perception of the New World in Protestant England right before the country turned into one of the world's leading colonial powers. Examination of the First Nations that inhabited the American continent not only satiated the thirst for knowledge of the English explorers, but also served as the practical purpose for seeking allies in the fight against Spaniards and Portuguese in the region. The common features of forming image of strong and kind indigenous people suffering from Spanish tyranny were aimed at consolidation of Spanish “Black Legend”, which lays the foundation for English trade and colonial expansion in the region in future years.

Abstract:
There could scarcely be an event of the magnitude of the Spanish discovery and conquest of a brand new world without its giving rise to a whole inundation of literature about the New World. For one thing, it really was a new world. Every detail reported about America had the same exotic appeal for the Spaniard of the day that an eye-witness account of life on another planet would have for us. Another reason for the great interest of the Spaniard in the happenings in America was his taste for greatness, for heroic deeds, a taste which he had developed and nurtured through the novels of chivalry so popular with all classes in Spain. It would be interesting to know to what extent the novels of chivalry influenced the psychology of the Spanish explorers and conquerors. Many of the feats accomplished in the New World bear comparison with feats described in the novels, and many of the chronicles and documents describing the conquest reveal attitudes and even turns of expression such as were often found in the novels of chivalry.

How Acacia s.l. farnesiana attained its pan-tropical distribution." Royal Society Open Science 4, no. 4 (April 2017): 170105. http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsos.170105.

Full text
Abstract:
Acacia s.l. farnesiana , which originates from Mesoamerica, is the most widely distributed Acacia s.l. species across the tropics. It is assumed that the plant was transferred across the Atlantic to southern Europe by Spanish explorers, and then spread across the Old World tropics through a combination of chance long-distance and human-mediated dispersal. Our study uses genetic analysis and information from historical sources to test the relative roles of chance and human-mediated dispersal in its distribution. The results confirm the Mesoamerican origins of the plant and show three patterns of human-mediated dispersal. Samples from Spain showed greater genetic diversity than those from other Old World tropics, suggesting more instances of transatlantic introductions from the Americas to that country than to other parts of Africa and Asia. Individuals from the Philippines matched a population from South Central Mexico and were likely to have been direct, trans-Pacific introductions. Australian samples were genetically unique, indicating that the arrival of the species in the continent was independent of these European colonial activities. This suggests the possibility of pre-European human-mediated dispersal across the Pacific Ocean. These significant findings raise new questions for biogeographic studies that assume chance or transoceanic dispersal for disjunct plant distributions.

Abstract:
AbstractThe International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) was launched into a geosynchronous orbit on 26 January 1978. It is equipped with a 45-cm mirror and spectrographs operating in the far-ultraviolet (1150–2000 Å) and the mid-ultraviolet (1900–3200 Å) wavelength regions. In a low-dispersion mode, the spectral resolution is some 6–7 Å. In a high-dispersion echelle mode, the resolution is about 0.1 Åat the shortest wavelength and about 0.3 Åat the longest. It is a collaborative program among NASA, ESA and the British SERC. The IUE is operated in real time 16 hours a day from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center near Washing ton, D.C. and 8 hours daily from ESA’s Villafranca groundstation near Madrid, Spain. By the end of 1989, 1870 papers, using IUE observations, have been published in refereed journals. During the same period, over 1700 different astronomers from all over the world used the IUE for their research.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> This work explores the dynamics of the water consumed by the vegetation in two Mediterranean watersheds of Sierra Nevada Mountains (Southern Spain). This region has experienced an increase in the demand of water in the last years due to the growth of irrigated areas, and a new water resources plan is required. The evapotranspiration (ET) of irrigated horticultural crops and natural communities were monitored for the hydrological years 2013/14 and 2014/15, using an approach based on the concept of reference evapotranspiration (ET<span class="inline-formula"><sub>o</sub></span>) and canopy coefficients derived from the computation of vegetation indices (VIs), which we will call the VI-ET<span class="inline-formula"><sub>o</sub></span> approach. A set of Landsat-8 and MODIS images has been used as remote input data. The results were used for the spatial analysis of water consumption in terms of the main land cover types in the area. The annual runoff obtained with a simple surface water balance, using the ET values estimated by the VI-ET<span class="inline-formula"><sub>o</sub></span> approach, was comparable to that obtained by the HBV (Hydrologiska Byrans Vattenbalansavdelning) model, a precipitation-runoff generation model that reproduces the observed river discharge at the outlet of the watershed.</p>

Abstract:
This PhD thesis presents a study of structure-composition correlations of bioactive glasses (BGs) by employing solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Silicate-based Na2O−CaO−SiO2−P2O5 BGs are utilized clinically and are extensively investigated for bone regeneration purposes. Once implanted in the human body, they facilitate bone regeneration by partially dissolving in the body fluids, followed by the formation of a biomimetic surface-layer of calcium hydroxy-carbonate apatite (HCA). Eventually, the implanted BG totally integrates with the bone. The bioactivity of melt-prepared BGs depends on their composition and structure, primarily on the phosphorus content and the average silicate-network connectivity (NC). We explored these composition-structure relationships for a set of BGs for which the NC and phosphorus contents were varied independently. The short-range structural features of the glasses were explored using 29Si and 31P magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. 31P MAS NMR revealed that the orthophosphate content is directly proportional to the total P content of the glass, with a linear correlation observed between the orthophosphate content and the silicate network connectivity. The bearings of the results for future BG design are discussed. By using multiple-quantum coherence-based 31P NMR experiments, the spatial distribution of orthophosphate groups was probed in the melt prepared BGs, as well as in two mesoporous bioactive glasses prepared by an evaporation-induced self-assembly technique. The results evidence randomly distributed orthophosphate groups in the melt-prepared BGs, whereas the pore-walls of the mesoporous bioactive glasses constitute nanometer-sized clusters of calcium phosphate. The distribution of Na+ ions among the phosphate/silicate groups were studied by heteronuclear dipolar-based 23Na−31P NMR experiments, verifying that sodium is dispersed nearly randomly in the glasses. The phosphorus and proton environments in biomimetically grown HCA were investigated by using 1H and 31P MAS NMR experiments. Our studies revealed that the biomimetic HCA shared many local structural features with synthetic and well-ordered hydroxy-apatite.

Full text
Abstract:
Rotational Echo Double Resonance (REDOR) is a powerful solid-state NMR technique that allows the measurement of heteronuclear inter-atomic distances in complex systems such as membrane-bound proteins whose study has been hampered by the limits of X-ray diffraction and solution NMR techniques. We have applied REDOR NMR to explore the structure of the E. coli membrane-bound serine receptor, which is involved in the chemotaxis signaling pathway. 13C-15N and 13C-19F REDOR are used to measure ligand-to-protein distances that map the serine ligand site structure. The results confirm the proposed similarities between the ligand binding sites of the intact membrane-bound serine receptor and the aspartate receptor periplasmic fragment. Preliminary receptor-to-membrane 13C-31P REDOR distance measurements suggest a method for the study of receptor topology. Using REDOR to measure the number of sites that are close to the membrane gives a qualitative insight into the orientation of the protein with respect to the lipid bilayer. We also propose additional multispin REDOR experiments to measure the number of spins that are interacting with the unique ligand spin and thus refine the structure of the ligand site of the receptor. These approaches can be used to map the ligand binding sites and receptor topology in more complex and less understood systems such as human membrane receptors of medical relevance.

Cultivate problem-solving ability is an important goal in science education. Previous studies indicated effects of task difficulty, learners’ metacognitive behaviors, and working memory span on problem-solving performance (Veenman, Prins, & Elshout, 2002; Shin, Jonassen, & McGee, 2003; Cho, & Cannon, 2007). Whetehr learenrs’ metacognitive behaviors are affected by their working memory span and the task difficulty remains unexplored. To address this gap, the present study has two aims, to understand whether students with different working memory span have different problem-solving performance and metacognitive behaviors, and how problem-solving performance and metacognitive behaviors vary accprding to task difficulty. This study also explore the role of metacognitive ability in problem- solving . The study took a mixed-method approach. Problems with low, medium and high levels of difficulties were designed on the topic of friction. Participants were eighth-graders who have received related instructions. A test friction was implemented to select, 37 students who have similar base of prior knowledge on Friction. These students were interviewed while completing the problemsolving tasks. Their task performances were scored and the interviews were coded for cognitive and metacognitive habavoirs. Relationships between learners’ working memory span, metacognitive behaviors, and problems-solving performance in different levels of difficulties were then analyzed. Cases were also used , to understand learners’ metacognitive behaviors and problem-solving processs in different task difficulties. The results show that learner's’ problem-solving performance varied depended on task difficulty. Performance on “analysis of task conditions”and “chart decomposion”did not vary across task diffulcities; however, learners exhibited optimal performance at the medium   difficult level for performance on “reasoning causal relations”and “integrating and inferring”. tudents with large working memory span outperform their counter cohors on all diffiultiy levels. Qualitative findings also showed that learners with higher working memory span were abled to monitor problem-solving process to reduce reasoning flaws and/or made corrections with errors occurred, which in turn, yielded better performances. Learenrs with lower working memory span demonstrated the aforementioned behavioral pattern only on the task with midiun level of difficulty.problem-solving perofmrance was droped at the high difficulty level due to cognitive overload. In that situation, learenrs no longer monitored their reasoning process and were not aware of realsoing flaws. This study shows that task difficulty and emtacognitive behaviors have great influence on problem- solving process and performance.

Reading is one of the ways in learning science, and most learners learn science concepts through reading. According to current SRL model, learners automatically monitor and regulate their reading behavior and learning status to understand the text. Previous studies have shown that the learners’ working memory span may affect their allocation of cognitive resources and use of SRL strategies in read, which may result in difference in reading comprehension. However, previous studies did not explore whether working memory span would affect SRL behaviors in reading nor the relationship between and among working memory span, use of SRL and reading comprehension. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether and how the working memory span affect learners’ use of SRL strategies in reading a science text, and whether the difference in working memory span and SRL results in different reading comprehension performance. This study used a mixed-method approach to explore non-biology majored college students’ SRL behaviors and reading comprehension when reading a science text in a computer-based learning environment. A biology concept test was used to assess if the participants possessed little understanding about the topic of the text. A categorization working memory span test was then implemented to assess the participants’ working memory span. During the reading task, tools were given to allow the participants to highlight sentences when they read, and the participants were asked to think-aloud during the entire reading process. The participants’ non-verbal reading behaviors and audio data of self-reported thinking process were recorded and transcribed for further analysis. The researcher analyzed and compared differences in types and frequencies of SRL strategies as well as performance of reading comprehension for groups with high, medium, and low span of working memory span. Qualitative case studies were conducted on high and low performers with high, medium, and low span in order to understand if their SRL patterns affected the reading comprehension. The results showed that there was no significant positive correlation between the working memory span and performance of reading comprehension. Some cognitive strategies, such as summarization, inference, and coordination of information sources were significantly and positively correlated with reading performance. Negative correlations were found between reading performance and few cognitive strategies, including hypothesizing and re-reading. Comparisons between the groups with high, medium, or low working memory span indicated that no difference was found on the types and frequencies of SRL strategies, except that learners with medium span used significantly more re-reading than their counter parts. Participants with medium and low working memory span used more control of context during reading. The qualitative analysis indicated that, regardless the working memory span, the participants could effectively combine metacognitive and cognitive strategies to help them understand the text. The high performers paid attention on inferring and summarizing important information to build their understanding and utilized metacognitive strategies to evaluate whether the information they just read was relevant and adequate to the key ideas of the text. Thus, the high performers generated more propositions about key concepts of the text and achieve the level of situational understanding. Only the participants with the lower working memory span frequently used control of context strategy to facilitate their read process. Low performers, on the other hand, more frequently used strategies such as hypothesizing and re-reading; in addition, less control of context were used while reading the text. They could only coordinate information within the same paragraph and seldom linked the relevant information across paragraphs. Thus, they understood the text at the text-based level and mainly synthesized propositions for substance understanding rather than for conceptual understanding. This study concluded that working memory span affects learners’ patterns of metacognitive and cognitive strategies during reading process and, in turn, may result in different level of reading comprehension. Moreover, learners with medium and low working memory span can achieve equal performance on reading comprehension by using control of context appropriately to facilitate information processing.

AbstractThis study explores how men in South Korea, Spain, and the U.S. use parental leave and shows how distinct labor-market structures, divisions of unpaid and paid labor, and parental leave policies shape individuals’ intentions and decisions to utilize leave policies. Using in-depth interviews of 80 men, we show two important findings: One, in Spain and the U. S., the systematized monetary support strongly encourages fathers to use parental leave whereas in South Korea, a generous policy becomes of little use because work culture heavily discourages men from taking leave. Two, gender norms shape the desirability of using parental leave regardless of the availability of the policy. An emerging group of men in Spain and the U.S. actively reconstruct what an engaged father should do whereas Korean men took it for granted that fathers should not take leave, instead should work even harder to be a responsible father. In the end, this study shows how the monetary structure and schema of what an engaged father should do shape how men approach and use parental leave in three different contexts.

Abstract The chapter summarizes the Spanish conquests and navigation. It also provides a brief summary of how Ferdinand Magellan found another route to the Pacific and the Moluccas, which led to the signing of Treaty of Tordesillas. This divided any newly discovered lands between Spain and Portugal along a Meridian west of the Cape Verde Islands, but no line of demarcation had been set on the other side of the world. This meant that both countries could lay claim to the Spice Islands, as long as Portugal travelled there from the east and Spain from the west. After Magellan's conquest, the Spanish explore the Pacific, which gave them control over the Pacific countries including the Philippines. The chapter also discusses how the charting of 'Urdaneta's Route' made possible a trans-Pacific galleon trade and the profitable colonization of the Philippines and other Latin American countries. Soon ships were travelling regularly from Manila to New Spain. A complex trade network evolved that was truly global in nature. Into Manila would flow spices from the Moluccas and silk and porcelain from China. These would be shipped across the Pacific by the Spanish to Acapulco, a journey of four to six months. The silver came from Potosí, Bolivia where hundreds of thousands of enslaved Incan lives were sacrificed by the Spanish to extract that silver from the bowels of the earth. The mines became the centre of Spanish wealth and were the reason Spain remained powerful during the colonial period. From 1556 to 1783, they extracted some 45,000 tons of silver from these mines. Aside from these, is the silk production as New Spain had a native mulberry tree called the Morera criolla. The Spanish finished their conquest by 1521 and by 1523, the first silkworm eggs had been exported to Mexico. Finally, the chapter closes how England, by means of American privateers, fought off Portugal and Spain.

This work explores the inequality of wealth in Spain during the late Middle Ages from six cities located in the kingdoms of Castile (Seville) and the Crown of Aragon (Barcelona, Valencia, Mallorca, Castelló and Valls), through tax sources that inform about the wealth of each taxpayer. These records provide very precise data on the wealth distribution that allow us to study inequality in an aggregate manner for the same city and, at the same time, perform sectoral analyses according to gender, different socio-professio¬nal groups and urban districts.

Abstract This chapter uses as a case Spanish cities such as Madrid, Palma de Mallorca, Bilbao, Seville, Valencia and Barcelona, to explore the role that degrowth social movement actors and ideas have played in protest action directed at the tourism sector in recent years. The authors identify important episodes of contestation in which degrowth activists have been present. Particularly after 2015, the Neighbourhood Assembly for Sustainable Tourism, a degrowth-inspired association made up of grassroots organizations, assemblies and groups, has made several efforts to reduce the flow of tourists to Barcelona in an attempt to reverse the damaging social, economic, cultural and environmental effects that mass tourism is having on the city. In its attempt to explore various degrowth issues, the chapter sets out a conceptual framework that draws from key literature in the field of political discourse analysis, Althusserian treatment of ideology and interpellation, and work on degrowth and tourism.

Abstract:
Explores the emergence of mass tourism to Spain during the late Victorian and Edwardian period, and its intersection with British quasi-colonial infrastructure-building in the country. Considers the transformation in tourist guidebooks in the wake of the first Baedeker guide to Spain in 1898, and the emergence of an discourse of ‘anti-tourism’. Explores the proactive role of Spanish regional tourism associations in expanding British imagined geographies of Spain.

Abstract:
Red-black relaxation in classical planning allows to interpolate between delete-relaxed and real planning. Yet the traditional use of relaxations to generate heuristics restricts relaxation usage to tractable fragments. How to actually tap into the red-black relaxation's interpolation power? Prior work has devised red-black state space search (RBS) for intractable red-black planning, and has explored two uses: proving unsolvability, generating seed plans for plan repair. Here, we explore the generation of plans directly through RBS. We design two enhancements to this end: (A) use a known tractable fragment where possible, use RBS for the intractable parts; (B) check RBS state transitions for realizability, spawn relaxation refinements where the check fails. We show the potential merits of both techniques on IPC benchmarks.

Abstract:
This technical note is an update to the previous "Water in the Time of Drought: Lessons from Five Droughts Around the World", published in 2018. It explores drought situations and policies in Spain (including the Canary Islands), Chile, Mexico, the dry corridor between Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, Brazil, and South Africa. Each of these countries has recently dealt with droughts and/or developed long-term solutions to manage them. HydroBID, a tool developed by the IDB, will be presented through relevant case studies. After defining drought experiences and institutional frameworks in each country, the brief will explore the successes and challenges of national drought and water management policies. Best practices and lessons learned will be extracted from each case study to help policymakers better prepare for droughts.
