(Complete work in Spanish) Remote sensing aerial spectral imaging was one of the first application areas where spectral imaging was used in order to identify and monitor the natural resources and covers on earth surface. Aerial spectral imaging is being developed with the aim of monitoring natural resources like coastal areas, forestry and extensive crops. The information contained in hyperspectral images allows the reconstruction of the energy curve radiated by the terrestrial surface throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. Hence, the characterization, identification and classification of...

The rapid growth of the discipline of aquatic ecology has been driven both by scientific interest in the complexities of aquatic ecosystems and by their enormous environmental importance and sensitivity. This book focuses on the remarkably diverse roles played by underwater plants, and is divided into three parts: 10 thematic chapters, followed by 18 case studies, and rounded off by three integrative chapters. The topics range from macrophytes as fish food to macrophytes as mollusc and microbe habitat, making this of interest to aquatic ecologists as well as limnologists, ecosystem...

La sucesión formada por la suma de los números intercalados entre dos números de Fibonacci consecutivos tiene ciertas curiosas propiedades. No sé si la sucesión de Fibonacci tendra infinitos números primos, pero esta sucesión de tres números de Fibonacci genera números que no son primos. Incluso está formada por fracciones irreducibles lo que hace que se aproxime rápidamente a Phi cuadrado. Incluyo aplicaciones que sirven para el poker, el mercado de valores o la estadística.

Se trata de casos de individuos, aquejados por inauditas aberraciones de la percepción que han perdido la memoria, y con ella, la mayor parte de su pasado; que son incapaces de reconocer a sus familiares o los objetos...
