AbstractIn the elaboration of the plans for the military bases, built by Americans and Spaniards in Spain in the 50s, the American military design manuals were used. That was one of the first times the Spanish architects drew plans from constructive catalogues. The architectural firms, the engineering companies and the construction companies adapted this way of working, considerably different from what they were used to do and they learnt the American way of representation.The American plans had a high level of precision, they used their own codes, complicated verification systems, their own symbols, lines and materials and they had the additional difficulty that every text should be both in English and Spanish.This article offers some objective references about a change of methodology process, trying to contribute to the analysis of the relation between the existing architecture and the method it was represented. At the same time, we try to show the repercussions that the work of the Spanish architectural firms together with the Americans had in their change of methodology, especially in the graphic representation of the plans.

There are areas of the former military base contaminated waste war. The U.S. position is moderate in these areas clean, and no intrusion into areas of possible decontamination. For Panama, this is not enough, and demands to continue the cleanup Americans. There is a consensus in Panama to claim this cleanup. ; Existen zonas de las antiguas bases militares contaminadas de residuos bélicos. La posición de EEUU es la limpieza moderada de esas zonas, y la no intrusión en las zonas de imposible descontaminación. Para Panamá esto no es suficiente, y exige que prosigan las actividades de limpieza estadounidenses. Existe un consenso en Panamá para reclamar esta limpieza.

ResumenA raíz de los Pactos de Madrid de 1953 se construyeron en España diversas bases militares llevadas a cabo por personal español y estadounidense. En la elaboración de los proyectos de edificación se utilizaron los manuales de diseño desarrollados por el Ejército americano. Fue una de las primeras veces en las que, en nuestro país, se dibujaban los planos a partir de catálogos constructivos. Los estudios de arquitectura, las empresas de ingeniería y las constructoras españolas debieron adaptarse a un sistema diferente al habitual y aprender los métodos norteamericanos de representación.Los planos estadounidenses contaban con un nivel de precisión elevado, utilizaban códigos propios, complejos sistemas de verificación de lo dibujado, una simbología, un grosor de línea y una definición de materiales también propios, y además contaban con la dificultad añadida de que todos los textos debían estar escritos en inglés y español.El presente artículo ofrece unas referencias objetivas, referidas a un proceso de cambio metodológico, que puedan contribuir al análisis de la relación existente entre la arquitectura realizada y el método según el cual esta ha sido previamente representada. Se pretende poner de relieve las repercusiones que aquella cooperación con los norteamericanos tuvo sobre la dinámica de cambio de metodologías de trabajo, en particular sobre los métodos de representación gráfica de los planos, de los estudios de arquitectura españoles involucrados.

• Opsomming: Tans is Fort England in Grahamstad 'n sielsieke-inrigting. Dit het oorspronklik bekend gestaan as die East Barracks en was die brandpunt van die vroegste nedersetting op die Kaapse Oosgrens. Fort England was trouens die bakermat en vesting van die militêre eenheid wat later die Cape Mounted Rifles geword het. Ofskoon dit in werklikheid sIegs as barakke gedien het, is die naam Fort England in 1832 aan hierdie kompleks gegee. Die 'fort' was vir 'n halfeeu die militêre hoofkwartier op die Oosgrens, behalwe vir 'n kort rukkie toe die hoofkwartier na King William's Town verskuif is. Fort England het tot 1870 – toe die Imperiale troepe onttrek is – 'n belangrike bydrae gelewer ten opsigte van die militêre verdediging en die mediese, maatskaplike en burgerlike ontwikkeling van Grahamstad. ; • Summary: Fort England, today a mental institution in Grahamstown, was originally known as the East Barracks. It was a focal point of the infant settlement of the unit which evolved into the Cape Mounted Rifles. Though it never became more than a barracks in effect, its name was changed to Fort England in 1832. For fifty years the 'fort' served as the military headquarters of the Eastern Frontier (except for a brief spell when the headquarters was at King William's Town). It was closely integrated not only with military defence, but with the medical, social, and civic development of Grahamstown, until the Imperial troops withdrew in 1870.

The collapse of the bipolar system of international relations at the end of the twentieth century led to global changes in these relations, the main one being that local conflicts have replaced large-scale wars. Soft power is increasingly moving in to replace hard power; international and nongovernmental organizations, transnational companies, and even terrorist groups are taking the place of individual countries on the international arena. Nevertheless, when it comes to state security, certain mechanisms that used to be part of the bipolar system continue to function. I am referring to military bases abroad, which, in the context of globalization, continue to play just as significant role in international relations as they did during the Cold War. This article takes a look at how important it is to have these facilities in the territory of foreign states, as well as the advantages they offer the countries where they are located, using Central Asia (CA) as an example.

This research deals with an energy efficient network for military mobile base station placement. The proposed method is based on minimizing the energy loss of military communication networks where the base station is moving along a preset path and the users are constantly moving in an independent speed and direction. It takes into account the free space loss and the knife edge effect for the energy loss to establish a path weight for the shortest path model. Then, it evaluates the neighboring points to the base station for the energy loss of the network in order to find the position at which the minimum energy loss occurs. The results show a clear energy saving advantage when compared to Lloyd-Max's method

This article analyzes the nature of the conflict generated in South America by the adoption of the new military agreement between the U.S. and Colombia. The article will evaluate the political and the geostrategic implications of this agreement, especially its repercussions for the regional integration process of South America. It will also analyze the stances of the local actors in order to consider prospective scenarios, and will assess the U.S. approach to South American integration under the Obama administration.
