Acercamiento interdiscursivo al imaginario de la muerte en la narrativa de David Toscana

Adelso Yanez(아델소 야네스) 한국라틴아메리카학회 2008 라틴아메리카연구 Vol.21 No.2

The objective of this article is to point out the networks of feeling as well as the tensions produced by the criss-crossing of heterogeneous discourses in the novel by Mexican writer David Toscana. The article emphasizes the inter-textual dialogue with European literary works that employ the theme of Death at the same time as it highlights its inscription into an existentialist current. It also accentuates certain absurdist features and shows tinges of grotesque and also “crazy” realisms. The analysis brings into play the juxtaposition of discourses surrounding the fact of Death and of different fragments and images that evoke certain socio-cultural universes through the citation in the story. The study of the inter-textuality intends to de-sacralize the fact of Death arguing that Death is, above all, a generator of mercantile transactions.

Street sale of pulque and sociospatial practices: A gender perspective in central Mexico

Sandra Blas-Yanez,Humberto Thom e-Ortiz,Ivonne Vizcarra-Bordi,Angelica Espinoza-Ortega 한국식품연구원 2018 Journal of Ethnic Foods Vol.5 No.4

Background: Pulque is an agave (agave salmiana) alcoholic beverage, with a high nutritional content, which is part of the diet and ritual life of different ethnic groups in central Mexico. Since pre-Hispanic times, it has been commercialized and consumed in street markets. There is limited knowledge about the strategies that women who sell pulque use to face the mechanisms of exclusion, discrimination and control established for the sale of pulque. The objective of this paper is to analyze, with a gender perspective, the socio-spatial practices that are reproduced in the sale of pulque in central Mexico. Methods: Through an inductive method, empirical evidence was gathered to understand the social practices related to gender, which affect the material and symbolic continuity of pulque. A qualitative case study was carried out in a street market in central Mexico. The case was selected according to the following criteria: i) it is a market with a historical depth close to 200 years; ii) it is considered the largest street market in Latin America; iii) it has a large number of buyers and sellers; and iv) it has an important offer of ethnic foods. Data was collected between 2016 and 2017. Results: Motivational, experiential and discursive differences were found in the ways that the public space is used between women and men who sell pulque in the largest street market in Mexico. Women and men continue to practice forms of sale and consumption of pulque that deepen asymmetric power relations and exacerbate socio-spatial segregation. Despite the persistence of exclusionary practices between genders, the role played by women is fundamental in the economic and cultural reproduction of ethnic foods such as pulque. Conclusions: The perspective of feminist geography allow us to understand the differences between men and women who share the same space, showing how those socio-spatial gender practices, generate processes of marginalization and inequalities that almost always disadvantage women. It is expected that this document will be useful for the pulque sellers and will serve to recognize the female work thatallows the maintenance of ethnic alimentary patterns, in order to implement fair and inclusive spatial policies.

Nonlinear numerical model of headed shear stud anchors for composite open web steel joists

Sergio J. Yanez,David W. Dinehart,Juan Carlos Pina,Carlos Felipe Guzmán 국제구조공학회 2022 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.44 No.4

Empirical relationships that capture the nonlinear behavior of headed steel shear stud anchors have been derived from standard push out tests, where the specimens are comprised of large wide flanged steel sections attached to flat concrete slabs via the anchors. However, many composite systems used in practice utilize much smaller steel members and/or steel decking as part of the slab system. Composite open web steel joist systems generally include both of these elements and consequently the nonlinear performance ofthe anchor is not accurately represented by existing models. In this paper, a new empirical relation is presented for open web steel joist systems based on experimental results from a modified push out test that more realistically represent a composite open web steel joist system. The methodology for obtaining the proposed nonlinear function where the response of the system is characterized by two parameters( and ) is presented. The two-step process for obtaining the two parameters is described and the empirical relation is calibrated with the experimental data. In comparison with existing expressions, the new proposal herein more accurately predicts the high initialstiffness of the system and overall nonlinear system performance.

ON THE GALACTIC SPIRAL PATTERNS: STELLAR AND GASEOUS

MARTOS MARCO,YANEZ MIGUEL,HERNANDEZ XAVIER,MORENO EDMUNDO,PICHARDO BARBARA The Korean Astronomical Society 2004 Journal of The Korean Astronomical Society Vol.37 No.4

The gas response to a proposed spiral stellar pattern for our Galaxy is presented here as calculated via 2D hydrodynamic calculations utilizing the ZEUS code in the disk plane. The locus is that found by Drimmel (2000) from emission profiles in the K band and at 240 ${\mu}m$. The self-consistency of the stellar spiral pattern was studied in previous work (see Martos et al. 2004). It is a sensitive function of the pattern rotation speed, $\Omega$p, among other parameters which include the mass in the spiral and its pitch angle. Here we further discuss the complex gaseous response found there for plausible values of $\Omega$p in our Galaxy, and argue that its value must be close to $20 km s^{-l}\;kpc^{-1}$ from the strong self-consistency criterion and other recent, independent studies which depend on such parameter. However, other values of $\Omega$p that have been used in the literature are explored to study the gas response to the stellar (K band) 2-armed pattern. For our best fit values, the gaseous response to the 2-armed pattern displayed in the K band is a four-armed pattern with complex features in the interarm regions. This response resembles the optical arms observed in the Milky Way and other galaxies with the smooth underlying two-armed pattern of the old stellar disk populations in our interpretation. The complex gaseous response appears to be related to resonances in stellar orbits. Among them, the 4:1 resonance is paramount for the axisymmetric Galactic model employed, and the set of parameters explored. In the regime seemingly proper to our Galaxy, the spiral forcing appears to be marginally strong in the sense that the 4:1 resonance terminates the stellar pattern, despite its relatively low amplitude. In current work underway, the response for low values of $\Omega$p tends to remove most of the rich structure found for the optimal self-consistent model and the gaseous pattern is ring-like. For higher values than the optimal, more features and a multi-arm structure appears.

Synthesis of highly carboxylated latex particles using a power feed process

R. Santilla´n,M. Corea,E. Nieves,C.P. Alejandre,C. Gomez-Yanez,J.M. del Rı´o,H. Dorantes-Rosales,M.E. Navarro-Clemente 한국공업화학회 2013 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.19 No.4

Two series of highly carboxylated latex particles were synthesized via a power feed process. The concentration carboxylic groups were varied inside the particles and a gradient in the concentration from the interior to the surface was created. The power feed process, proposed by Bassett et al., was used for the synthesis of the functionalized materials and a mathematical model was proposed for this process and theoretical predictions for the concentration of carboxylic groups inside the particles were corroborated with experimental results. A methodology based on thermodynamic formalism is proposed to study the response of these materials to ion exchange.

Seismic Performance of High-rise Concrete Buildings in Chile

Lagos, Rene,Kupfer, Marianne,Lindenberg, Jorge,Bonelli, Patricio,Saragoni, Rodolfo,Guendelman, Tomas,Massone, Leonardo,Boroschek, Ruben,Yanez, Fernando Council on Tall Building and Urban Habitat Korea 2012 International journal of high-rise buildings Vol.1 No.3

Chile is characterized by the largest seismicity in the world which produces strong earthquakes every $83{\pm}9years$ in the Central part of Chile, where it is located Santiago, the capital of Chile. The short interval between large earthquakes magnitude 8.5 has conditioned the Chilean seismic design practice to achieve almost operational performance level, despite the fact that the Chilean Code declares a scope of life safe performance level. Several Indexes have been widely used throughout the years in Chile to evaluate the structural characteristics of concrete buildings, with the intent to find a correlation between general structural conception and successful seismic performance. The Indexes presented are related only to global response of buildings under earthquake loads and not to the behavior or design of individual elements. A correlation between displacement demand and seismic structural damage is presented, using the index $H_o/T$ and the concrete compressive strain ${\varepsilon}_c$. Also the Chilean seismic design codes pre and post 2010 Maule earthquake are reviewed and the practice in seismic design vs Performance Based Design is presented. Performance Based Design procedures are not included in the Chilean seismic design code for buildings, nevertheless the earthquake experience has shown that the response of the Chilean buildings has been close to operational. This can be attributed to the fact that the drift of most engineered buildings designed in accordance with the Chilean practice falls below 0.5%. It is also known by experience that for frequent and even occasional earthquakes, buildings responded elastically and thus with "fully operational" performance. Taking the above into account, it can be said that, although the "basic objective" of the Chilean code is similar to the SEAOC VISION2000 criteria, the actual performance for normal buildings is closer to the "Essential/Hazardous objective".

Medeiros, A.N.,Resende, K.T.,Teixeira, I.A.M.A.,Araujo, M.J.,Yanez, E.A.,Ferreira, A.C.D. Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2014 Animal Bioscience Vol.27 No.9

The aim of study was to determine the energy requirements for maintenance and growth of forty-one Saanen, intact male kids with initial body weight (BW) of $5.12{\pm}0.19$ kg. The baseline (BL) group consisted of eight kids averaging $5.46{\pm}0.18$ kg BW. An intermediate group consisted of six kids, fed for ad libitum intake, that were slaughtered when they reached an average BW of $12.9{\pm}0.29$ kg. The remaining kids (n = 27) were randomly allocated into nine slaughter groups (blocks) of three animals distributed among three amounts of dry matter intake (DMI; ad libitum and restricted to 70% or 40% of ad libitum intake). Animals in a group were slaughtered when the ad libitum-treatment kid in the group reached 20 kg BW. In a digestibility trial, 21 kids (same animals of the comparative slaughter) were housed in metabolic cages and used in a completely randomized design to evaluate the energetic value of the diet at different feed intake levels. The net energy for maintenance ($NE_m$) was $417kJ/kg^{0.75}$ of empty BW (EBW)/d, while the metabolizable energy for maintenance ($ME_m$) was $657kJ/kg^{0.75}$ of EBW/d. The efficiency of ME use for NE maintenance ($k_m$) was 0.64. Body fat content varied from 59.91 to 92.02 g/kg of EBW while body energy content varied from 6.37 to 7.76 MJ/kg of EBW, respectively, for 5 and 20 kg of EBW. The net energy for growth ($NE_g$) ranged from 7.4 to 9.0 MJ/kg of empty weight gain by day at 5 and 20 kg BW, respectively. This study indicated that the energy requirements in goats were lower than previously published requirements for growing dairy goats.
