El arte del fuego

Proceedings of a symposium organized by the IAEA and FAO, Vienna, 19-23 August 1985. The symposium examined the usefulness for plant breeding purposes of somaclonal variation, i.e. the occurrence of mutations during in vitro culture with or without the application of ionizing radiation or other mutagens. Another issue was finding ways and means of maintaining the genetic integrity of plants under in vitro conditions, such integrity being of vital importance if in vitro techniques are to be used to propagate virus-free clones of economically important plants, or to preserve germplasm in gene...

Foundation Engineering is of prime importance to undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil engineering as well as to practising engineers. For, there is no construction - be it buildings (government, commercial and residential), bridges, highways, or dams - that does not draw from the principles and application of this subject. Unlike many textbooks on Geotechnical Engineering that deal with both Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, this text gives an exclusive treatment and an indepth analysis of Foundation Engineering. What distinguishes the text is that it not merely equips...

Esta obra presenta una nueva técnica experimental para caracterizar el comportamiento del chorro diésel en campo próximo, realizando un estudio exhaustivo de las características del mismo bajo distintas condiciones del flujo interno en toberas de inyección.La obra presenta aportaciones relevantes y originales, con un especial énfasis en el estudio del proceso de atomización primaria del chorro diésel en motores.

Introducción al estudio de la resistencia de materiales, comenzando por los casos más sencillos hasta los más complicados. La obra se basa en consideraciones físicas y geométricas de la deformación para establecer las características de distribución de tensiones bajo diversos tipos de carga.
