En 1904, à Buenos Aires, dans le quartier d'Avellaneda, au moment où se négociait la construction du premier stade de football du club du Racing, naissait José Maria González, un futur grand joueur de ce club surnommé "llamarada", la flamme, à cause de sa chevelure qui lui donnait une allure de fusée quand il courait derrière le ballon. Il était aussi le grand-père du dessinateur argentin Jorge González qui se sert de cette trajectoire comme point de départ pour retracer une généalogie intime liée à la passion du football et transmise de pères en fils sur quatre générations. Dans la lignée de Bandonéon ou Chère Patagonie, sur près de 300 pages, l'artiste ouvre sa palette picturale pour raconter les répercussions des vocations au fil des générations en ancrant son récit dans l'histoire de son pays natal. La démarche autobiographique le conduit à explorer sa mémoire familiale, fouillant dans la matière des souvenirs racontés, transmis et vécus. Un héritage en flux et reflux comme l'océan qui sépare l'Argentine de l'artiste installé désormais en Espagne, qui questionne le legs des souvenirs dans l'horizon et l'avenir de ses propres fils.

Parti sur les traces de ses ancêtres, nés dans la lointaine et mystérieuse Patagonie, Alejandro va découvrir que l'histoire des hommes est aussi celle du territoire qui les a vus naître, grandir, espérer et mourir. Par touches sensibles qui explorent toute la palette des sentiments, de la noirceur à la lumière, Jorge González nous entraîne avec lui dans le tourbillon de l'histoire argentine.
Aux côtés de Jorge González, trois fameux auteurs de BD argentins ont collaboré au scénario : Alejandro Aguado, Hernán González et Horacio Altuna. Le précédent ouvrage de Jorge González, "Bandonéon", a reçu le prix du roman graphique Fnac Espagne et fait partie des "1001 BD qu'il faut avoir lues", l'ouvrage de référence de l'historien Paul Gravett. -

Cette bande dessinée raconte quatre histoires réelles du monde du sport. Leurs héros ne sont pas de grands vainqueurs, mais des personnes en chair et en os qui, bien que n'ayant pas atteint leur but, ont su nous transmettre des qualités essentielles qui servent pour la vie personnelle et sociale. Tout au long de ces pages nous trouverons des exemples dignes d'éloges de dépassement, d'effort, d'amitié désintéressée, de noblesse et de loyauté, d'humour et d'esprit sportif dans la défaite. Toutes ces vertus font partie des valeurs que le sport se doit de stimuler et qui sont beaucoup plus importantes qu'une victoire.

Komiki honetan, kirolaren munduko benetako lau istorio azaltzen zaizkigu. Beren protagonistak ez dira garaile handiak, hezur-haragizko pertsonak baizik, beren helburua lortu ez arren, funtsezko balioak helarazi zizkiguten pertsonak, geure barruari nahiz jendarteari begiratzeko dugun moduari eragiten baitiote. Komikiaren orrietan barrena, argi ikusi ahal izango dugu zer den nork bere burua gainditzea, jo eta ke aritzea, adiskidetasun desinteresatua, prestutasuna, fideltasuna, umorea, bai eta porrot-uneetan kiroltasunez jokatzea ere. Bertute horiek guztiak kirolak sustatu behar ditu, garaipenak berak baino garrantzi handiagoa dutelako.

This book describes how to use test equating methods in practice. The non-commercial software R is used throughout the book to illustrate how to perform different equating methods when scores data are collected under different data collection designs, such as equivalent groups design, single group design, counterbalanced design and non equivalent groups with anchor test design. The R packages equate, kequate and SNSequate, among others, are used to practically illustrate the different methods, while simulated and real data sets illustrate how the methods are conducted with the program R. The book covers traditional equating methods including, mean and linear equating, frequency estimation equating and chain equating, as well as modern equating methods such as kernel equating, local equating and combinations of these. It also offers chapters on observed and true score item response theory equating and discusses recent developments within the equating field. More specifically it covers the issue of including covariates within the equating process, the use of different kernels and ways of selecting bandwidths in kernel equating, and the Bayesian nonparametric estimation of equating functions. It also illustrates how to evaluate equating in practice using simulation and different equating specific measures such as the standard error of equating, percent relative error, different that matters and others.

This book presents fractography and failure analysis at a level that is accessible for non-expert readers, without losing scientific rigor. It offers a comprehensive description of fracture surfaces in engineering materials, with an emphasis on metals, and of the methodology for the observation of fracture surfaces. It also discusses in detail the main fracture mechanisms and their corresponding fracture surfaces, including brittle, ductile, fatigue, and environmental fractures. The last chapter is dedicated to the use of fractography in determining of the causes component failure. In modern engineering, the analysis of fractured components is a common practice in many fields, such as integrity management systems, materials science research, and failure investigations. As such this book is useful for engineers, scientists, engineering students, loss adjuster surveyors and any professional dealing with fractured components.

New Insights on Vitamin C and Cancer
Michael J. Gonzalez, Jorge R. Miranda-Massari
- Springer
- 18 Septembre 2014
- 9781493918904
Research on vitamin C and its effects on cancer is growing in popularity around the world as positive research continues to accumulate building a stronger case for its effectiveness. This concise SpringerBrief on Vitamin C and Cancer presents the latest findings on how vitamin C induces apoptosis. A high concentration of vitamin C allows for ascorbate to generate hydrogen peroxide in tissue that can selectively kill cancer cells. Research has confirmed that high-dose vitamin C is cytotoxic to a wide variety of cancer cell lines, and that it also boosts the anti-cancer activity of several common chemotherapy drugs. Vitamin C also does more than just kill cancer cells. It boosts immunity by stimulating collagen formation to help the body wall off the tumor. It inhibits hyaluronidase, an enzyme that tumors use to metastasize and invade other organs throughout the body. This concise and up-to-date Brief is geared towards cancer researchers and scientists, as well as physicians interested in the basic science and the translational potential of vitamin C in cancer therapeutics.

- 9781454190974
This collection of essays on popular culture and politics in the Americas presents the study of ethnographic and historical data from different countries: Canada, United States, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. Each chapter brings to light a distinct focus on the way in which popular cultural practices evolve in the context of contemporary globalization. Accordingly, this book aims to improve our understanding of the way in which subordinate groups participate in the process of state building and in the reproduction (or rejection) of the major macroeconomic and cultural processes shaping contemporary societies.

Mechanical Behavior and Fracture of Engineering Materials
Jorge Luis Gonzalez-Velazquez
- Springer
- 29 Août 2019
- 9783030292416
This book presents the theoretical concepts of stress and strain, as well as the strengthening and fracture mechanisms of engineering materials in an accessible level for non-expert readers, but without losing scientific rigor. This volume fills the gap between the specialized books on mechanical behavior, physical metallurgy and material science and engineering books on strength of materials, structural design and materials failure. Therefore it is intended for college students and practicing engineers that are learning for the first time the mechanical behavior and failure of engineering materials or wish to deepen their understanding on these topics.
The book includes specific topics seldom covered in other books, such as: how to determine a state of stress, the relation between stress definition and mechanical design, or the theory behind the methods included in industrial standards to assess defects or to determine fatigue life. The emphasis is put into the link between scientific knowledge and practical applications, including solved problems of the main topics, such as stress and strain calculation. Mohr's Circle, yield criteria, fracture mechanics, fatigue and creep life prediction. The volume covers both the original findings in the field of mechanical behavior of engineering materials, and the most recent and widely accepted theories and techniques applied to this topic. At the beginning of some selected topics that by the author's judgement are transcendental for this field of study, the prime references are given, as well as a brief biographical semblance of those who were the pioneers or original contributors. Finally, the intention of this book is to be a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses on Mechanical Behavior, Mechanical Metallurgy and Materials Science, as well as a consulting and/or training material for practicing engineers in industry that deal with mechanical design, materials selection, material processing, structural integrity assessment, and for researchers that incursion for the first time in the topics covered in this book.

Family Literacy Practices in Asian and Latinx Families
Jorge E. Gonzalez, Jeffrey Liew, Gayle A. Curtis, Yali Zou
- Palgrave macmillan
- 6 Décembre 2022
- 9783031144707
This book focuses on the literacy beliefs and practices of parents and children from Asian and Latinx heritage backgrounds. In the US, children from Asian and Latinx immigrant backgrounds represent the largest population of dual language learners in schools. While existing research has paid significant attention to the roles of parenting and the home literacy environment on children's literacy development, relatively little attention has been allocated to immigrant families. Chapters aim to meet the need in the field to understand the roles of culture and immigrant experiences on children's literacy learning and development, including immigrant families' home environments and parents' involvement in literacy-related activities in both English and the parents' native language. As Hispanic/Latinx and Asian American populations grow in the US, this book answers an urgent call for school systems and child and family professionals to be aware of issues in this area and how to address them in culturally responsive ways.
