This paper proposes an aggregated index of acceptability that can establish a “ranking” of the possible candidate hub cities in the design of a telecommunications network. The main advantages of the aggregated index proposed are the following: (a) it takes into account several wide-ranging design criteria, (b) its formulation is given by a lineal m...

Companies today do not have a specific, reliable method to optimally select a candidate for a job post. This paper proposes an aggregate index of acceptability in order to help companies to establish a “ranking” of potential candidates in the recruitment processes conducted by the Human Resources Department. The main advantages of the proposed aggr...

This article has been extracted from the results of a thesis entitled “Potential bioelectricity production of the Madrid Community Agricultural Regions based on rye and triticale biomass.” The aim was, first, to quantify the potential of rye (Secale Cereale L.) and triticale (Triticosecale Aestivum L.) biomass in each of the Madrid Community agricu...

This paper presents a work whose objective is, first, to quantify the potential of the triticale biomass existing in each of the agricultural regions in the Madrid Community through a crop simulation model based on regression techniques and multiple correlation. Second, a methodology for defining which area has the best conditions for the installat...

Este trabajo de investigación pretende identificar las principales características estratégicas del sector de telecomunicaciones, con especial énfasis en la situación actual y posible evolución futura de las empresas. Se tomará como punto de partida el periodo precrisis 2004-2008 y se comparará con la situación actual 2009-2014. Dada la coyuntura a...

Nowadays, there is an uprising social pressure on big companies to incorporate into their decision-making process elements of the so-called social responsibility. Among the many implications of this fact, one relevant one is the need to include this new element in classic portfolio selection models. This paper meets this challenge by formulating a...

This paper proposes a mathematical model to plan the financial strategy of a large company. The model links the philosophy of new behavioural economics with the multiple criteria decision making paradigm. Within this theoretical approach, the proposed model is supported by more realistic behavioral hypotheses. After formulating the initial multi-ob...

Calving from tidewater glaciers and ice shelves accounts for around half the mass loss from both polar ice sheets, yet the process is not well represented in prognostic models of ice dynamics. Benn and others proposed a calving criterion appropriate for both grounded and floating glacier tongues or ice shelves, based on the penetration depth of tra...

Iceberg calving is an important mass loss mechanism from ice shelves and tidewater glaciers for many mid- and high-latitude glaciers and ice caps, yet the process is not well represented in prognostic models of ice dynamics. Benn and others (2007) proposed a calving criterion appropriate for both grounded and floating glacier tongues or ice shelves...

We present the results of low-frequency (20 MHz) radio-echo sounding (RES) carried out in December 2000 and December 2006 on the main ice divides of Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands (SSI), Antarctica, and Bowles Plateau, Antarctica, respectively, as well as high-frequency (200 MHz) RES on the latter, aimed at determining the ice thickness,...

Las leyes de producci´on de icebergs m´as usuales son: 1) la que considera que la tasa de producci´on de icebergs depende linealmente de la profundidad de agua en el frente glaciar, seg´un una ley obtenida mediante ajustes a observaciones de campo; y 2) aqu´ella en la que el criterio de producci´on de icebergs viene dado por la altura del glaciar s...

Aldegondabreen is a small valley glacier, ending on land, located in the Grønfjorden area of Spitsbergen, Svalbard. Airborne radio-echo sounding in 1974/75, using a 440 MHz radar, revealed a polythermal two-layered structure, which has been confirmed by detailed ground-based radio-echo sounding done in 1999 using a 15 MHz monopulse radar. The 1999...

A new three-dimensional finite-element model of the steady-state dynamics of temperate glaciers has been developed and applied to Johnsons Glacier, Livingston Island, Antarctica, with the aim of determining the velocity and stress fields for the present glacier configuration. It solves the full Stokes system of differential equations without recour...

A new digital recording system (DRS) for radioglaciological studies has been developed. The main advantages of the system, as compared to other DRS applied in glaciology, arc its short sampling interval (5 ns), high number of samples per waveform (4082), waveform stacking capabilities from 256 to 8192-fold, fast recording in an 8 MB RAM memory, and...
