How to pay for the war in times of imperfect commitment. Adam Smith and David Ricardo on the Sinking Fund
2014
AbstractThe paper proposes a comparative analysis of Smith's and Ricardo's views on the sinking fund. It shows that Smith and Ricardo agreed in stressing the ineffectiveness of the sinking fund as a policy instrument targeted at public debt repayment and tax-burden relief, pointing out that its actual workings had paradoxically helped to increase rather than reduce British total debt-load. Moreover, their explanation of the sinking fund paradox integrates a defective fiscal commitment technology with powerful politicians’ incentives to siphon off the money stored in the sinking fund to meet sudden increases of public expenditure whenever the occasion arose.
«Que en estos nuestros reinos llamábamos…»: a la búsqueda de una naturalización coeva de títulos y fórmulas de tratamiento en la traducción de la dra…
2019
La traducción de textos no-contemporáneos, ‘diacrónicos’, se puede plantear desde la lealtad romántica al original hasta la absoluta domesticación. Centrándonos en la onomástica de los títulos heredados y adquiridos y en las fórmulas de tratamiento, proponemos una naturalización histórica y cultural, de modo que la reacción del público ante la puesta en escena de la traducción sea lo más equivalente posible a la del público de la cultura de partida, hoy en día. La parte teórica arranca con la presentación y explicación de lo que entendemos como tres modos básicos de traslación, junto con la argumentación de nuestra propuesta metodológica. A continuación, se expone una taxonomía de títulos h…

Closedness and lower semicontinuity of positive sesquilinear forms
2009
The relationship between the notion of closedness, lower semicontinuity and completeness (of a quotient) of the domain of a positive sesquilinear form defined on a subspace of a topological vector space is investigated and sufficient conditions for their equivalence are given.
Mineralogical and chemical variability of fluvial sediments: 1. Bedload sand (Ganga–Brahmaputra, Bangladesh)
2010
This study investigates the natural processes that control concentration of detrital minerals and consequently chemical elements in river sand. The novelty of our approach consists in the systematic integration of detailed textural, petrographical, mineralogical and chemical data, and in the quantitative description and modeling of relationships among mineralogical and chemical variables for each sample and each grain-size class in each sample. Bed sediment in transit in the largest sedimentary system on Earth chiefly consists of fine-grained lithofeldspatho quartzose sand including rich amphibole–epidote–garnet suites, mixed with minor very-fine grained-sand to silt subpopulations containi…
On multivalued weakly Picard operators in partial Hausdorff metric spaces
2015
We discuss multivalued weakly Picard operators on partial Hausdorff metric spaces. First, we obtain Kikkawa-Suzuki type fixed point theorems for a new type of generalized contractive conditions. Then, we prove data dependence of a fixed points set theorem. Finally, we present sufficient conditions for well-posedness of a fixed point problem. Our results generalize, complement and extend classical theorems in metric and partial metric spaces.
On the equivalence of McShane and Pettis integrability in non-separable Banach spaces
2009
Abstract We show that McShane and Pettis integrability coincide for functions f : [ 0 , 1 ] → L 1 ( μ ) , where μ is any finite measure. On the other hand, assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, we prove that there exist a weakly Lindelof determined Banach space X, a scalarly null (hence Pettis integrable) function h : [ 0 , 1 ] → X and an absolutely summing operator u from X to another Banach space Y such that the composition u ○ h : [ 0 , 1 ] → Y is not Bochner integrable; in particular, h is not McShane integrable.
Assessing individual differences in driving inattention: Adaptation and validation of the Attention-Related Driving Errors Scale to Spain
2013
The Attention-Related Driving Errors Scale (ARDES) is a self-reported questionnaire to assess individual differences in the proneness to make attentional errors while driving. The aims of the current work are to adapt the original Argentinean version of the ARDES to the culture, language, traffic regulations and driving habits of Spain and provide new validity evidence of the cross-cultural equivalence of the scale. In the first step of the validation process, five external independent experts reviewed the original ARDES-Argentina and proposed modifications, adapted to the culture, language, traffic regulations and driving habits in Spain. Secondly, a sample of 320 drivers completed the ada…
Non linear viscoelasticity of polymeric liquids interpreted by means of a stress dependence of free volume
1977
Several existing data of non-linear viscoelasticity of amorphous polymers aboveT g are here interpreted by assuming that the free volume changes during the motion. Equations of a stress-temperature equivalence are suggested which favorably compare with the data. It is also shown that the volume variations are sufficiently small to have escaped observation.
Characterisation of upper gradients on the weighted Euclidean space and applications
2020
In the context of Euclidean spaces equipped with an arbitrary Radon measure, we prove the equivalence among several different notions of Sobolev space present in the literature and we characterise the minimal weak upper gradient of all Lipschitz functions.
