"Las crónicas hispanas editadas en este volumen se dividen en dos partes bien diferenciadas. La primera parte comprende las dos crónicas escritas en el siglo VIII bajo la dominación árabe (la Crónica del 741 y la Crónica del 754); la segunda, las dos crónicas escritas en el siglo IX para exaltar el nuevo reino astur (la Crónica de Alfonso III, en sus dos redacciones, y la Crónica Albeldense). En consecuencia, ambas partes presentan el haz y el envés de una misma realidad contemplada a lo largo del tiempo: por un lado, el fin del reino visigodo y la conquista de Hispania por los musulmanes; por otro, los comienzos de la llamada Reconquista y las primeras victorias de los cristianos sobre los musulmanes. Son, por tanto, obras complementarias que, dentro de su brevedad, resultan indispensables para conocer los hechos acontecidos en aquellos siglos oscuros, dado que las fuentes árabes son mucho más tardías que las mozárabes."--

This book offers a systematic study of control algorithms applied in the operation of solar membrane distillation (SMD) facilities. After a short introduction to membrane distillation systems powered by solar energy, it reports on the various stages of the development of a comprehensive operating strategy, based on modelling, control, and optimization techniques, which enables an improved operation of SMD plants helping the commercialization of the SMD technology. A special focus of the research was to maximize the distillate production of the MD modules while reducing their thermal energy consumption, being those two important weaknesses of the current technology, as well as their minimizing operating costs. The optimised operating strategies were tested in a real pilot plant located at Plataforma Solar de Almería (a dependency of the Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas, CIEMAT, of Spain). All in all, this thesis offers extensive information on control and modeling algorithms, and on their practical applications in solar membrane distillation plants.

This book is a tribute to Professor Pedro Gil, who created the Department of Statistics, OR and TM at the University of Oviedo, and a former President of the Spanish Society of Statistics and OR (SEIO). In more than eighty original contributions, it illustrates the extent to which Mathematics can help manage uncertainty, a factor that is inherent to real life. Today it goes without saying that, in order to model experiments and systems and to analyze related outcomes and data, it is necessary to consider formal ideas and develop scientific approaches and techniques for dealing with uncertainty. Mathematics is crucial in this endeavor, as this book demonstrates. As Professor Pedro Gil highlighted twenty years ago, there are several well-known mathematical branches for this purpose, including Mathematics of chance (Probability and Statistics), Mathematics of communication (Information Theory), and Mathematics of imprecision (Fuzzy Sets Theory and others). These branches often intertwine, since different sources of uncertainty can coexist, and they are not exhaustive. While most of the papers presented here address the three aforementioned fields, some hail from other Mathematical disciplines such as Operations Research; others, in turn, put the spotlight on real-world studies and applications. The intended audience of this book is mainly statisticians, mathematicians and computer scientists, but practitioners in these areas will certainly also find the book a very interesting read.
