The structure of the Hontomín CO2 geological storage research facility has been addressed combining 3D seismic reflection data, borehole information and microgravity data. The integrated interpretation constrains the basement structural setting geometry and that of the sedimentary succession. The study unravels the deep structure and topography of the basement and quantifies the thickness of the Triassic Keuper evaporites. We describe a half-grabensetting filled with Keuper evaporites (up to 2000 m) forming an extensional forced fold. Three set of faults are identified with two main fault systems compartmentalizing the area into three differentiated blocks. These faults have been interpreted to be reactivated normal faults that have led to the formation of the Hontomín dome. ; The datasets in this work have been funded by Fundación Ciudad de la Energía (Spanish Government, www.ciuden.es) and by the European Union throughthe "European Energy Programme for Recovery" and the Compostilla OXYCFB300 project.

Since the ECSC Treaty signed in Paris in 1951, marking the beginning of the commun destiny of the first international integration organization until the most recent decisions, such as the single currency or the immigration policies, it is a matter of fact that European Union progresses only with harmonious dialogue and joint actions, built on mutual respect of others' differences. Nowadays, in the rapidly changing societies, financial concurrence and geopolitical stakes together with arrogance, or dominance, often outweigh the plurilingual communication, thereby leading to worries about linguistic equality within the Union; hence, the subject of the present stydy. Communication in this polyglottic supranational union should be based on an equal pattern, without what the impact of English as lingua franca[1] may be contested and criticised. This combined with the fact that translations are not fully compatible with the English text, implies that European Union does not always resonate at the same frequencies.[1] http://www.euractiv.fr/section/langues-culture/news/l-anglais-se-confirme-comme-la-lingua-franca-de-l-europe/

French cinema has consistently represented ageing in terms of a series of well-worn stereotypes which portray older people as 'the enemy other', to use Simone de Beauvoir's phrase. Such negative images reflect a pervasive fear of ageing which is perceived as a threat to social models of adult identities. However, as this article shows, a number of recent French films have begun to question such dominant constructions of ageing. A detailed analysis of three films – Rue du Retrait (2000), La Tête en friche (2010) and Paulette (2012) – focuses on the significance of intergenerational relationships in the formulation of a positive and empowering vision of ageing. The article begins by exploring the films' critical representations of ageing in the context of a society that is deeply hostile towards its older citizens. I argue in the subsequent sections that, in all three films, cross-generational companionship becomes a means of counteracting the social exclusion of elders and of constructing different models of ageing identities.

Abstract
In this article I analyse the Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca (PAH) social movement in Spain through the concept of hospitality. In doing so, I develop a double hypothesis concerning the PAH. First, I consider the possibility of the PAH social movement as a public outcry of the ethics and politics of hospitality. Second, I identify a type of disobedient hospitality, practised by the PAH, which defies the legality enforced by dominant discourse. As a hospitality movement, the PAH promotes illegal hospitality based on civil disobedience and exploits the unconditional and conditional tensions within the idea of hospitality. I conclude that the activism of this social movement creates the possibility of a socialized and politicized hospitality that expands beyond its traditional private interpersonal sphere. I claim that in the future these concepts (basically hospitality as a movement) can be explored in other domains and political practices of social movements claiming rights and empowerment such as workers, immigration, gender or LGTB groups.

Viele wollen ihn aufhalten, den Alterungsprozess, und zwischen Jung-Bleiben und Alt-Werden rückt die merkwürdige Zeitlosigkeit des Alterns in den Hintergrund, obwohl uns diese von Geburt an begleitet. Das Thema des Alters oder Alterns hat es in der Literatur immer gegeben, man denke nur an Sophokles' Ödipus auf Kolonos oder an Shakespeares King Lear , an Gellerts Gedicht Der Greis oder Goethes Der Mann von fünfzig Jahren , an Stifters Hagestolz , an Fontanes Stechlin und Manns Tod in Venedig . Auch an Brechts Erzählung Die unwürdige Greisin von 1939 und den einige Jahre zuvor entstandenen Roman All Passion Spent (Dt. Erloschenes Feuer ) von Vita Sackville-West, der so eindrücklich die letzten in Unabhängigkeit genossenen Jahre einer über 80-Jährigen ins Zentrum rückt, sei hier kurz erinnert. Jean Amerys Essay Über das Altern (1968), der den pointierten Untertitel 'Revolte und Resignation' trägt, bestimmte gemeinsam mit Simone de Beauvoirs La Vieillesse (Dt. Das Alter , beide 1970) die deutschsprachige Debatte um das Altern in den späten sechziger und siebziger Jahren. Diese war von den gesellschaftlichen Bedingungen ihrer Entstehung geprägt und entstand vor dem Hintergrund und in Auseinandersetzung mit der aus der Konsumgesellschaft erwachsenen Jugendkultur. Nach der Jahrtausendwende stellt sich die Frage nach dem Altern unter veränderten Bedingungen. Zum Einen lässt der medizinische Fortschritt Menschen nicht nur älter werden als jemals zuvor, verlangt also nach einer sinnvollen und produktiven Beschäftigung auch während des 'Ruhestands', und produziert– gleichsam als Nebenprodukt – eine Vielfalt an Verjüngungstechniken. Sowohl z. B. Bovenschens Älter werden (2006) als auch Margarete Mitscherlichs Die Radikalität des Alters (2010) stellen in diesem Zusammenhang die Frage nach der inneren Realität des Älterwerdens aus weiblicher Sicht neu. Zum Anderen aber werden Altersarmut und vor allem Demenz zunehmend zu einem Problem, auf das Politik, Literatur, Film, Theater, Fernsehen, aber auch Online-Foren reagieren. ...

[EN] This paper deals with the explicit solution of random mixed parabolic equations in unbounded domains by using the random Laplace transform to second order stochastic processes. The mean square random Laplace operational calculus is stated and its application to the random parabolic equation together with previous results of the underlying random ordinary differential equations allow us to obtain an explicit solution of the problem. A numerical example, which includes simulations, illustrates the developed method. ; This work has been partially supported by the Spanish Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad Grant MTM2013-41765-P and by the European Union in the FP7-PEOPLE-2012-ITN Program under Grant Agreement No. 304617 (FP7 Marie Curie Action, Project Multi-ITN STRIKE-Novel Methods in Computational Finance). ; Casabán Bartual, MC.; Cortés López, JC.; Jódar Sánchez, LA.

The first stations of the Valencia subway lines were accessible by conventional metro entrances, stairs leading to an underground corridor or hallway, invisible from the street and from where you came, directly or through other corridors, to the platforms. In the new metro lines from the network of FGV Ferrocarriles de la Generalitat Valenciana (Railways of the Regional Government of Valencia) built between 1995 and 2010 the architectural design of the stations is addressed in a different way from design strategies that seek greater interaction with the public space and the urban environment. To expose these strategies of interaction with the urban environment, the paper uses as case studies several stations designed by the author, belonging to lines 3 and 5 of the Valencia Metro network. ; Pérez Igualada, J.

All rights reserved. ; In the mid-1990s, young directors such as Daniel Burman began making films about ethnic identities and multiple subjectivities in Argentina. Because these filmmakers relied more on personal stories than on overtly political or historical issues, they paved the way for various ethnic communities to be the focus of Argentine films. Although there is a history of Jewish-themed films in Argentine cinema, there have been few Jewish directors who told these tales from a personal, semi-autobiographical standpoint. In previous decades, the few films that represented narratives of Argentine Jews included Juan Jose Jusids The Jewish Gauchos (1974); Beda Docampo Feijoos World War II drama, Beneath the World (1987); Raul de la Torres Poor Butterfly (1986); and Eduardo Mignognas Autumn Sun (1996). The directors themselves, with the exception of Feijoo, were not of Jewish origin, but they made thoughtful films with wide-ranging and nuanced depictions of Jews in Argentina.

The analysis of the big volumes of data requires efficient and robust dimension reduction techniques to represent data into lower-dimensional spaces, which ease human understanding. This paper presents a study of the stability, robustness and performance of some of these dimension reduction algorithms with respect to algorithm and data parameters, which usually have a major influence in the resulting embeddings. This analysis includes the performance of a large panel of techniques on both artificial and real datasets, focusing on the geometrical variations experimented when changing different parameters. The results are presented by identifying the visual weaknesses of each technique, providing some suitable data-processing tasks to enhance the stability ; This work has been financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Education and FEDER funds under grants DPI2009-13398-C02-01 and by the Government of Asturias.

A variety of enzyme inhibitors have been developed in combating HIV-1, however the fast evolutionary rate of this virus commonly leads to the emergence of resistance mutations that finally allows the mutant virus to survive. This review explores the main genetic consequences of HIV-1 molecular evolution during antiviral therapies, including the viral genetic diversity and molecular adaptation. The role of recombination in the generation of drug resistance is also analyzed. Besides the investigation and discussion of published works, an evolutionary analysis of protease-coding genes collected from patients before and after treatment with different protease inhibitors was included to validate previous studies. Finally, the review discusses the importance of considering genetic consequences of antiviral therapies in models of HIV-1 evolution that could improve current genotypic resistance testing and treatments design. ; Thiswork was supported by the Spanish Government through the "Juan de la Cierva" Fellowship JCI-2011-10452 and by the Portuguese Government through the FCT Starting Grant IF/00955/2014. ; Peer Reviewed

Drawing on an ethnographic study of the installation and maintenance of Paris subway wayfinding system, this article attempts to discuss and specify previous claims that highlight stability and immutability as crucial aspects of material ordering processes. Though in designers' productions (such as guidelines or graphic manuals), subway signs have been standardized and their consistency has been invested in to stabilize riders' environment, they appear as fragile and transforming entities in the hands of maintenance workers. These two situated accounts are neither opposite nor paradoxical: they enact different versions of subway signs, the stabilization of which goes through the acknowledgment of their vulnerability. Practices that deal with material fragility are at the center of what we propose, following Annemarie Mol and Maria Puig de la Bellacasa, to term a care of things. Foregrounding such a care of things is a way to surface a largely overlooked dimension of material ordering and to renew how maintainability issues are generally tackled.

Il presente elaborato analizza il contratto denominato "patto di famiglia" sotto quattro profili fondamentali: il rapporto con l'ordinamento giuridico nel suo complesso, l'analisi funzionale e strutturale dell'istituto, il momento patologico e delle sopravvenienze attinenti al contratto. L'opera si propone di ricercare un'interpretazione improntata alla ragionevolezza, in modo da consentire un'applicazione sistematicamente coerente e agevolare l'operato dei notai in sede di stipula. Tutto ciò impone la considerazione del conflitto tra istanze equitative a favore dei legittimari e libertà dispositiva di imprenditori e titolari di partecipazioni societarie, risolubile soltanto mediante un'attenta ricostruzione dei fondamenti della disciplina vigente, in aggiunta, eventualmente, a proposte de jure condendo. Tuttavia, prima di auspicare un intervento legislativo, dovere dell'interprete è quello di collegare i tasselli dell'istituto, in ossequio alla coerenza logica dell'ordinamento giuridico: l'istituto in esame, peraltro, rappresenta una miniera di ricerca sperimentale per il giurista, attesi i notevoli collegamenti multidisciplinari insiti nello stesso, cosicché risulta ancora più importante stabilire un'ermeneusi che tenga conto della ricchezza del sistema civilistico italiano e ne custodisca l'armonia assiologica.
