New Mutants Volume 7
Guest-starring the Defenders! Dr. Strange's team protects humanity from the impossible - so what does this uber-powerful group want with the New Mutants? Then, Cannonball and Karma return! But why are they suddenly years older? And what's up with the Warlock tech they're wearing? The New Mutants soon learn a terrible event has changed the course of their history - and the more they try to fix it, the worse it gets! The team thought they'd defeated their most unexpected foe - but they'll soon learn that while you can change the future, you can never escape it! It's the culmination of all the super-smart seeds DnA have planted throughout the series in a shocking story that - yeah, we're saying it - will change the New Mutants as you know them! Collecting NEW MUTANTS (2009) #44-50.

Urban Node Project
The world is continuously facing the evolution of technologies and environmental issues. The Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya and more precisely la Escola Politècnica Superior D'enginyeria De Vilanova I La Geltrú and a local company Neàpolis decided to initiate a project called The Urban Node in 2013. The idea and focus was to develop a innovative urban element that could gather.

Smart Structures
Since a few years, the civil engineering world can see a changing about how to preserve and monitor the structures. Thanks to the system of Smart Structures we can notice the early damages on the structure and anticipate the future. This science is already applied on bridges and now different researches work on buildings, such as the company Neàpolis in Vilanova i la Geltrú. As participators of European Project Semester at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya a feasibility study and cost analysis for the implementation of Smart Structure systems had to be done. This has been an assignment of the innovation agency Neàpolis, which was founded in 2007 by the city council of Vilanova I la Geltrú. The outcome of this project should be a cost-benefit-analysis, which compares the costs to the savings and recommendations for the implementation of sensors in the Sant Antoni church and the Neàpolis building. The research has been done in order to give Neàpolis an indication whether Smart Structures are feasible to put into buildings by lowering maintenance cost and improving the life span of buildings. There is not a known study that is similar to this project, in our knowledge this is the first feasibility study on Smart Structure Systems that has been performed. This is why the research is of importance to the company. Because it has been not possible to gain a great deal of useful information from the internet, the assistance of the supervisors Félix Ruiz Gorrindo and Pau Martí and third parties has been necessary. In this report you can read on the one hand about the way research has been done. First there are pointed out the most important advantages of Smart Structures. Then there are information about the research of sensors and pathologies that could occur in buildings and how they are related to the project. Our supervisors have been given us lectures about civil engineering to explain the different ways of how a building can be constructed. On the other hand you can find information about the planning of the implementation of the Smart Structures in the Neàpolis building and the Parroquia Arciprestal Sant Antoni Abat (Sant Antoni church). The buildings are both located in Vilanova i la Geltrú, Spain. After the inspection of both buildings and the transfer of the blueprints we were looking for the best positions for the sensors in the buildings. Therefrom we deduced different concepts for the implementation based on different states of intensities. Relation to these results formulas has been created to show from which point the implementation of Smart Structure systems in buildings is feasible. There are proposed formulas for the feasibility in time as well as formulas for the break-even-point. Also the different parameters are explained in this report. In the end an example of the Neàpolis building was realised, to prove that the proposed formulas are meaningful. With the gathering of all the information a conclusion has been drawn on which recommendations have been given.

Las Enfermedades Y La Salud Entran Por La Boca
Las Enfermedades Y La Salud Entran Por La Boca
La salud y la enfermedad son parte de la vida, y la enfermedad es una entidad opuesta a la salud. Los sntomas son el aviso del cuerpo que algo no est bien. El dolor es el principal sntoma que lleva al individuo a solicitar atencin mdica. Todas estas enfermedades estn relacionadas con hbitos alimenticios. Una de las base de una buena salud es una buena alimentacin. El cncer no se contagia ni se hereda, se hereda las costumbres alimenticias. El des balance en el cuerpo son las que causan enfermedades, el extremo de este des balance produce un cuerpo cido tambin, como es posible que una persona de 55 a 60 aos muera por causa natural y otra persona de 90 a 95 aos muera de causa natural tambin. La explicacin cientfica es que el paciente muere de una acidosis, su cuerpo est completamente cido. Y esto est relacionado con los alimentos que se consume.

Smart Polymers
Smart Polymers
Smart polymers react sharply to small changes in physical or chemical conditions and present an intelligent response to chemical stimuli (i.e., chemical species -including biomolecules-, pH, solvents, redox, stimuli that trigger controlled depolymerization) and physical stimuli (i.e., temperature, light, mechanical stress and electrical stimuli). For these reasons, the interest in smart polymers has recently increased exponentially, especially in biological stimuli (i.e., application of polymer-based biosensors, drug delivery, tissue engineering, precision medicine and cell therapy). This book offers a unique opportunity to review the physical-chemical fundamentals of smart polymers, and their behaviour. It also provides an excellent review of the main applications of smart polymers.
