Essays on gradual wage-price adjustments, monetary unions and open economy macrodynamics
No full textProaño Acosta C. Essays on gradual wage-price adjustments, monetary unions and open economy macrodynamics. Bielefeld (Germany): Bielefeld University; 2007.This dissertation deals with the role of wage and price inflation dynamics and of monetary policy for the stability of monetary economies from the theoretical and empirical perspective. On the one hand, it analyzes the case of small open economies within a monetary union where, by definition, the country-specific nominal exchange rate channel does not exist anymore and where therefore the degree of macroeconomic flexibility relies to a much larger extent on the dynamics of domestic wage and price inflation. On the other hand, the interplay between the nominal exchange rate dynamics and the behavior of wage and price inflation in open economies is investigated
Juvenal Acosta interview
No full textWriter and educator Juvenal Acosta talks about experiences from his twenty years of teaching at CCA/C, including his start at CCAC in 1989 when Michael McClure recruited him for the school 's nascent MFA Writing program and the Writing program at CCA in 2019. He expresses his longstanding dream that CCA stay in Oakland and contrasts the Design and Architecture focused culture of the school in SF with the "diversity, nature, intellectual and spiritual" focused "Bohemian" culture of the school in Oakland

Measurement of the differential cross-section of B+ meson production in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV at ATLAS
No full textThe production cross-section of B+ mesons is measured as a function of transverse momentum p T and rapidity y in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energy root s = 7 TeV, using 2.4 fb(-1) of data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The differential production cross-sections, determined in the range 9 GeV < p(T) < 120 GeV and vertical bar y vertical bar < 2.25, are compared to next-to-leading-order theoretical predictions
El compendio de Joaquín Acosta y la construcción de memoria histórica en Nueva Granada (1830-1848)
No full textEsta tesis estudia el proceso de elaboración, las influencias y contenidos del Compendio histórico del descubrimiento y colonización de la Nueva Granada en el siglo decimosexto, libro publicado en París, en 1848, por el político, intelectual y hombre de ciencia Joaquín Acosta. En los primeros capítulos se establece el contexto sociocultural y político del autor, para luego indagar por las improntas que recibió de la tradición narrativa anterior, en particular del Semanario de Francisco José de Caldas, las obras de Alexander von Humboldt, de William Prescott y de los cronistas coloniales. Se plantea que el Compendio responde a un proyecto patriótico de conocimiento llevado a cabo por iniciativa privada, en un momento en que sentía la estabilidad de la República amenazada por fuerzas internas y externas. Se argumenta que el principal aporte de Acosta en la construcción de una memoria histórica nacional, es la representación de una “civilización chibcha” comparable en grandeza con las antiguas civilizaciones de México y Perú.Abstract. This dissertation examines the process of creation, influence and content of Compendio histórico del descubrimiento y colonización de la Nueva Granada en el siglo decimosexto. This book was published in Paris, in 1848, by Joaquín Acosta, a politician, intellectual and scientist born in New Granada. In the first chapters the author´s sociocultural and political context is established. The dissertation then explores the imprint that prior narrative tradition left on the author, particularly the Semanario, by Francisco José de Caldas, works by Alexander von Humboldt, William Prescott, and the colonial chronicles. It is stated that Compendio responds to a patriotic project of knowledge, undertaken by a private initiative. All this, at a time when the stability of the Republic was threatened by internal and external forces. It is argumented that Acosta´s main contribution in the construction of a national historical memory is the representation of a “Chibcha civilization”, comparable in grandeour to those of the ancient civilizations of Mexico and Peru.Maestrí

Redescription: Measurements. Dorsal scutum length: males 5.11–6.58 (mean 6.06, n=32), females 5.66–6.40 (mean 6.06, n=43). Detailed measurements of holotype ♂ and allotype ♀: Table 6. Color. General color pale yellowish-straw; very faint pigment reticulation on prosoma (anterior and lateral borders, and both sides of the ocular mound), pedipalps (femur, tibia), legs I–III (femur, patella, tibia) and area V and free tergites; most scutum very pale, though in some specimens there are faint reticulate stripes on the scutal areas too. Leg IV of female of the general color. Leg IV of male darker (sclerotized appearance): coxa with same color as scutum except for the distal border and the prolateral apophysis, hazel-orangish; same color on trochanter, femur, patella and tibia, only distal end of femur and tibia slightly lighter; metatarsus and tarsus of the general color. Ventral surface of coxae quite uniform, slightly more hazel-orangish than the dorsum, with darker borders of coxa-trochanter articulation near stigmata. Color of smaller males tend to be more uniform than larger ones. Some females are exceptionally uniformly light hazel-orangish. Exomorphology. Prosoma and scutum sparsely set with very tiny granules. Frontal hump granulous, as tall as ocular mound; the latter is very low, covered by a few scattered conic granules. Scutum quite flat on male, with faint but complete sulci delimiting areas; area I divided. On areas I–IV granules are sparse, unordered and inconspicuous (especially in males). Lateral areas of scutum with tiny dispersed granules. Area V with a row of small grains. Free tergites with a row of grains each, becoming taller and more conical from I to III. Dorsal anal plate unarmed, granules of similar size as free tergites in a transverse row, plus additional unordered grains and a row of small ones on the posterior border; ventral anal plate with rows of minute granules on anterior and posterior margins. Chelicerae and pedipalps developed as usual in the subfamily. Pedipalp femur with a medial subapical spine; patella articulates to tibia dorsally (Fig. 4A); two distal retroventral setae on tibia [Ii] on raised sockets that emerge from a common tegumentary elevation. Pedipalp spination (holotype): tibia I[Ii] (lateral), Ii.Ii (medial); tarsus IiI... (lateral and medial). Legs I–III unarmed. Femur I–III and patella-tibia III faintly granulous, the latter with taller grains on ventrodistal position; on male, retroapical border of femur III has a blunt grain. Trochanter III has a small but distinctive retroapical ventral conic granule both in male and female. Tegument of coxa IV smooth near the apophysis (male), to sparsely granulous on the sides, faintly rugulous ventrally (male and female). Number of tarsomeres: 6:7–9:6:6 (holotype ♂ and allotype ♀ with 6:8:6:6); variability on tarsus II: Table 7. Leg IV (♂): Coxa IV with strong, diagonal prolateral apophysis, slightly dilated subterminally (insinuating an incipient bifid condition), its apical end slightly sigmoid in dorsal view; small acute retrolateral apophysis. Trochanter IV elongated, armed with distinctive apophyses; one prodorsal sub-basal apophysis, ear-like and sclerotized; a marked prodorsal thickening of the apical border, from which a large, blunt prodorsal apophysis emerges, oriented upwards; a strong, acute retroventral apical apophysis, pointing caudad; in addition, 2–3 small conical apophyses (or acute grains in some specimens) on the retrolateral side. Femur IV sub-straight, only weakly curved to the median line, gradually and slightly thickening towards the apical end; it is covered by longitudinal rows of conspicuous granules and a few distinct apophyses; retrolateral side with a sub-basal, small acute apophysis, and a row of 3–5 acute apophyses on distal half, with increasing size, ending in a large subapical one; proventral row of 4–5 smaller apophyses on the distal one third, ending in a large apical one; retroventral row insinuated by taller grains on the basal and distal portions, it ends in a rudimentary retroventral apical apophysis. Patella IV: dorsal side densely covered by rounded grains; on the ventral side grains are taller and acute, ending in two large apical apophyses: a proventral, bifid one (seldom as two separate, close apophyses), and a retroventral apophysis. Tibia IV: dorsal surface with granulation similar to patella; proventral and retroventral rows of acute projections, with increased size (grains at the base, tall apophyses distally); the proventral row ends subterminally but the retroventral row still has an apical rudimentary apophysis, often bifid or duplicated (Fig. 3B). Leg IV (♀): Coxa with small acute prolateral apophysis and minute retrolateral apophysis (the latter sometimes hidden by tegumentary borders). Trochanter simple, with sparse granules; three small conic apophyses correspond to those of male: retroventral apical (the largest one), and two retrolateral. Femur, patella and tibia with rows of granules, with only a rudiment of the retrolateral sub-basal apophysis sometimes recognizable, otherwise unarmed. Male genitalia (Fig. 5). Distal end of trunk markedly swollen and curved (first dorsad, then ventrad), so that the distal end is ventrally shifted from the trunk axis. VP subrectangular, slightly wider at the base; distal border straight; macrosetae forming two groups on each lateral: 3 apical C macrosetae, short and strong, transverse, and 3–4 longer basal macrosetae A, diagonally pointing proximad; a small macroseta D aligned to the C group, and two rudimentary macrosetae E, ventrally of the latter; the basal group has also one smaller ventral macroseta B. Ventrolateral surface of VP covered by two independent spiny fields in its whole extension, reaching the distal end of trunk. Subdistal portion of glans has a dorsad projected border. Stylus emerges in a single stem, then diverges from VPS; stylus smoothly bent dorsoapically, it bears heavy backward-pointing spination on its ventral border; VPS curved, its flabellate tip (with irregularly scalloped margins) points dorsad, thus giving the apical end of the glans a forked appearance. Distribution and field observations. Qorimayus alticola was collected in a reduced area (two localities separated by less than 5 km), on the eastern slope of Sierra de Famatina, La Rioja province, Argentina (Fig. 7). The Famatina range originated in the Ordovician— i.e., it is older than the Andes—and behind the latter, is the second most elevated massif in South America (Cei 1982). Its most outstanding feature, the ‘Nevado del Famatina’, covered by a permanent snow cap, has the highest peak in the non-Andean interior of Argentina (Cerro General Belgrano, 6097 m a.s.l.). The Sierra de Famatina has a remarkable biogeographical interest, because of its semi-insularity (surrounded by xeric basins), and its recognition as a relevant area of endemism. Aagesen et al. (2012) listed 27 endemic vascular plants in this range, of which 21 exist above 1500 m a.s.l., the highest record at 4090 m a.s.l. Barboza et al. (2016) updated this number to 28 endemic entities (25 species, 3 varieties), out of 909 taxa (692 species, 34 subspecies, 137 varieties, and 5 forms) they counted in their checklist of Famatinan vascular plants. Famatinanthus (Asteraceae, monotypic) is the only endemic plant genus in this area (Barboza et al. 2016). Examples of endemic animals include two lizards, Liolaemus famatinae Cei, 1980, and Phymaturus mallimaccii Cei, 1980, captured between 3600 and 4200 m a.s.l. (Cei 1980, 1982); a bothriurid scorpion, Orobothriurus famatina Acosta, in Acosta & Ochoa, 2001, with records at 2450–3060 m a.s.l. (Acosta & Ochoa 2001), as well as several high-Andean bird subspecies (Nores 1995). The general landscape is dominated by aridity, thereby making the presence of a gonyleptid completely unexpected when ascending the slopes. Up to 2400–2500 m, the lower parts of this mountain are covered by the xeric Monte shrubland (Cei 1982). It is followed by an herbaceous / arbustive transition belt at 2400–3500 m a.s.l., above which the physiognomy changes into the high Andean vegetation, dominated by grasses and pulvinate plants. From 4500 m a.s.l. onwards vegetation is scarce and is replaced by periglaciar rocky substrate (Cei 1982). These altitudinal limits and the general conditions may vary dramatically, depending on the topography and the orientation. For example, on the road to Mina La Mejicana aridity reaches up to 3170 m a.s.l. (see Acosta & Ochoa 2001 for a map), so that all collecting efforts for harvestmen yielded negative results there. A different situation was met on the 4WD track to the type locality (Mina El Oro), which borders the Río Oro (also known as Río Amarillo). From approximately 2400 m a.s.l., the river canyon becomes narrower, and the vegetation (not more than grasses and shrubs, indeed) starts to look contrasting green (Fig. 8), slightly more humid than the xeric surroundings (Acosta & Ochoa 2001). I captured Qorimayus alticola between 2450 and 2550 m a.s.l. under rocks, in grassland and scrubland on the slopes. This species showed a weak bluish fluorescence under U.V. light, a feature known for a few other gonyleptids, like Pachyloidellus goliath Acosta, 1993 (fluorescence is yellowish in the latter; Acosta et al. 1995). U.V. sampling required much less effort than manual search, and enabled me to detect many specimens climbing at night on the vertical wall along the path cut on the hillside. A remarkable feature of those captures was the high proportion of ‘soft-bodied’ specimens, suggesting that in December (i.e., the end of spring) the final molt to reach adulthood happened shortly before. In manual search (specimens sheltered under rocks) 60% of the individuals were soft-bodied, and the male-female ratio was 1:4. With U.V. light (specimens active at surface) the proportion of soft-bodied individuals decreased to less than 7%, and the male-female ratio turned to 2:1. When captured, Q. alticola rapidly elicited its defensive secretions, resembling the quick response of the well studied Pachyloidellus goliath (as described in Acosta et al. 1993); however, secretions themselves look different, consiting in Q. alticola of a dense white fluid with a curious smell recalling synthetic adhesives (no chemical analysis was available). No other gonyleptid was found in the area, but an undetermined Ceratomontia (Triaenonychidae) was caught at 2550 m a.s.l., under stones.Published as part of Acosta, Luis E., 2020, Qorimayus, a new genus of relictual, high-altitude harvestmen from western Argentina (Arachnida, Opiliones, Gonyleptidae) reveals trans-Andean phylogenetic links, pp. 129-156 in Zootaxa 4722 (2) on pages 142-150, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4722.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/360582
