O PROFETA, OS DISCÍPULOS E O “ENVIADO”: COMENTÁRIOS A VIRGÍLIO AFONSO DA SILVA by Marcelo Neves

“…Virgílio Afonso da Silva, em seu artigo “O Supremo Tribunal Federal precisa de Iolau: Resposta às objeções de Marcelo Neves ao sopesamento e à otimização”, propõe-se apresentar uma crítica ao meu livro “Entre Hidra e Hércules". Apresentarei a seguir meus comentários às críticas de Virgílio Afonso da Silva ao meu livro, para comprovar, com argumentos claros, de que se trata de objeções equivocadas e que, às vezes, me parecem apressadas, pois simplificam (e, em parte, deformam) a minha linha de raciocínio de maneira um tanto retórica para imputar-lhe a aparência de uma fragilidade, a rigor, inexistente.…”

Los paisajes que encontró Tariq. La bahía de Algeciras entre los siglos III y VIII by Helena Jiménez Vialás

“…En los albores de la fase medieval los cambios en la toponimia reflejan el advenimiento de una nueva época: Carteia desapareció aunque el lugar conservó su antiguo nombre, Traducta pervivió a través de al-Yazirat al-Hadra, mientras que el principal hito geográfico y simbólico, el mons Calpe –una de las columnas de Hércules-, pasó a denominarse monte de Tariq (Gibraltar) en memoria del nuevo héroe de un nuevo relato: la conquista arabo-bereber.…”

Power spectrum analysis of Redshift surveys by Tadros-Attalla, H

“…</p> <p>The power spectrum of the QDOT sample depends sensitively on the galaxy weighting scheme, probably due the manner in which the region of the Hercules supercluster is sampled. A best estimate of the power spectrum of IRAS galaxies is computed by combining the IRAS l.2Jy and QDOT samples.…”

Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements in Airports: Structural–Economic Evaluation and Proposal for a Catalogue by Paola Di Mascio, Alberto De Rubeis, Claudio De Marchis, Antonello Germinario, Giovanni Metta, Rosario Salzillo, Laura Moretti

“…The finite element software FAARFIELD was used to design the JPCP pavements when they are subjected to the design of the airplane (i.e., turboprop C-130J Hercules) under different conditions. Seven subgrade load bearing capacity values, twenty traffic levels, and two construction hypotheses (i.e., constant or variable thickness of the two deeper layers) were designed and then verified with the Westergaard theory in order to present a proposal for a catalogue. …”
