Los trabajos publicados representan, únicamente, la opinión personal de los autores, sin que la Revista Armas y Cuerpos comparta necesariamente lo expuesto. Diciembre - 2020 Armas y Cuerpos Nº 145 3 PRESENTACIÓN Estimados lectores, Este nuevo número de la revista Armas y Cuerpos, último de este año 2020 tan complicado, mantiene la estructura habitual de secciones de nuestra revista. Se incluyen artículos dedicados a efemérides a las que se ha rendido homenaje en esta casa con diferentes actividades. El centenario de la fundación de la Legión es analizada desde el punto de vista jurídico por nuestro colaborador habitual, el doctor Andrés Cosialls. El arma nuclear vuelve a estar presente en nuestra publicación el año del setenta y cinco aniversario de su empleo en guerra. Y rendimos homenaje a los 175 años de historia de la Guardia Civil a través de su Cartilla. Se incluyen otros temas de actualidad como la nanotecnología, el protocolo social, el origen de las divisas, la preparación física o la naturaleza. También, por supuesto, la historia de la General, a través de un artículo que nos habla de sus épocas, tradiciones, y primeros generales formados en el solar zaragozano, así como la habitual sección “Hace cincuenta años”. El espíritu de la General se transmite en esta ocasión a través de las emotivas palabras de despedida del que durante los últimos años ha sido el máximo responsable de la Cátedra Cervantes y de la revista Armas y Cuerpos. Buenos consejos de un soldado experimentado para aquellos que comienzan ahora su andadura en la carrera de las armas, que también encuentran un hueco para transmitir sus primeras impresiones profesionales a nuestros cadetes a través de las palabras del teniente Mesa. La formación en valores continúa con la gesta heroica de Kudia Tahar, la biografía del general Ricardos, y especialmente el homenaje a nuestros compañeros caídos en “Cara a la Muerte”. Por último, destacar una lectura obligatoria para todos los que servimos en las fi las de la AGM: el discurso de toma de posesión de nuestro general. Una vez más, nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a los autores, que con su esfuerzo, dedicación y estudio hacen posible materializar el mensaje de valores y de servicio a España que constituye la razón de ser de nuestra Revista. En la Dirección quedamos a disposición de nuestros lectores, y esperamos que los contenidos de este último número de 2020 ayuden a comenzar con optimismo el 2021. Coronel D.

The Story The War of the Austrian Succession (1740 - 1748) was a dynastic war, initiated by the European powers to counter the legitimate claim of Maria Theresa Habsburgs (1717-1780) to maintain control of all her family possessions, when her father, the Emperor Charles VI, died in 1740. Federick II of Prussia was the first to act. He invaded Silesia as he wanted to reach a glorious military success and the beginning of his reign. Maria Theresa reacted prompted, and two alliance sides formed for the war with all the major European countries and many minor states involved. In 1745 war extended to Italy where France and Spain were in arms against Austria and and her ally, Savoy. After a sound defeat near Alessandria, the following year the Austrian side soundly defeated the French-Spanish army at the battle of Piacenza, which marked the end of the French-Spain attempts to defeat Maria in Italy: "I want to hope that this event will dispel from the minds of my enemies the desire to totally banish myself from Italy" Highlights * regimental-level warfare in the Age of Reason * highly interactive sequence of play, focused on manoeuvre 1 / 2 Other C18 : Piacenza 1746 (War of the Austrian Succession) * formations move in "linear mode", the typical way of fighting a battle at that time * a 22" x 25" fine-art map , based on ancient map of the battle * detailed order of battle * limited play time Components: 22" x 25" map of Piacenza and its southern area 216 5/8" (large) die-cut counters Rule booklet Chart Boxed Designer: Enrico Acerbi 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • The Rearrangement of Regional Production Orders in Emilia-Romagna and Baden- Württemberg*
    Beyond flexible specialization: the rearrangement of regional production orders in Emilia-Romagna and Baden- Württemberg* Martin Heidenreich published in „European Planning Studies“ Vol. 4/1996, pp. 401-419. Abstract: Emilia-Romagna and Baden-Württemberg are two highly successful industrial regions. Their economic success is based on a specific industrial and institutional order, on regionally concentrated production networks mainly based on small and medium enterprises and on 'cooperation enhancing' institutions. This regional production order was the basis for strategies of 'flexible specialization'. The fundamental restructuring of mass production concepts as well as harsher world-wide competition over innovation and costs, however, undermined previous advantages of these regions. Emilia-Romagna and Baden-Württemberg handle these new challenges in different ways: while Baden-Württemberg counts on technology- and research-based restructuring, Emilia-Romagna's restructuring is service-based – increasing the demand for new production-related services (quality control, financial services, marketing). These different patterns of reorganization and institutional learning point out institutional and industrial differences between the two regions undervalued in the concept of 'flexible specialization'. Industrial districts are often regarded as a fundamental alternative to taylorist- bureaucratic mass production. While the mass production concept of the postwar period experienced problems during the 70s and 80s, regionally concentrated agglomerations of smaller firms, especially in central Italy, succeeded with flexible production of high- quality industrial products (see Piore and Sabel, 1984; Pyke and Sengenberger, 1992). This success based on closely-knit interorganizational networks, embedded in a regional community and a web of supportive institutions (mostly on a regional basis: banks, education and training facilities, research and development agencies, cooperative labour relations, etc.).

  • Is a COVID-19 Second Wave Possible in Emilia-Romagna (Italy)? Forecasting a Future Outbreak with Particulate Pollution and Machine Learning
    computation Article Is a COVID-19 Second Wave Possible in Emilia-Romagna (Italy)? Forecasting a Future Outbreak with Particulate Pollution and Machine Learning Silvia Mirri , Giovanni Delnevo and Marco Roccetti * Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Bologna, 40127 Bologna, Italy; [email protected] (S.M.); [email protected] (G.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 24 July 2020; Accepted: 20 August 2020; Published: 24 August 2020 Abstract: The Nobel laureate Niels Bohr once said that: “Predictions are very difficult, especially if they are about the future”. Nonetheless, models that can forecast future COVID-19 outbreaks are receiving special attention by policymakers and health authorities, with the aim of putting in place control measures before the infections begin to increase. Nonetheless, two main problems emerge. First, there is no a general agreement on which kind of data should be registered for judging on the resurgence of the virus (e.g., infections, deaths, percentage of hospitalizations, reports from clinicians, signals from social media). Not only this, but all these data also suffer from common defects, linked to their reporting delays and to the uncertainties in the collection process. Second, the complex nature of COVID-19 outbreaks makes it difficult to understand if traditional epidemiological models, such as susceptible, infectious, or recovered (SIR), are more effective for a timely prediction of an outbreak than alternative computational models. Well aware of the complexity of this forecasting problem, we propose here an innovative metric for predicting COVID-19 diffusion based on the hypothesis that a relation exists between the spread of the virus and the presence in the air of particulate pollutants, such as PM2.5, PM10, and NO2.

  • Wahoo War of the Minds 1997 Round Four
    Wahoo War of the Minds 1997 Round Four 1. A state law required payment of an annual 15,000 dollar tax, or compliance with state guidelines for issuing notes. When the Baltimore branch of the Second Bank of the United States ignored the law, the cashier was sued by the state, and the case was appealed to the Supreme Court. FTP, identify this case of March 1819, in which Chief Justice Marshall stated the doctrine of "loose construction," stating that "the power to tax involves the power to destroy." Answer: McCulloch v. Maryland 2. Her first story, "The Man To Send Rain Clouds," was published in 1969, and it has been followed by three books. Although she has written Storyteller, a collection of fiction and verse, and Laguna Woman, a book of poems, she is best known for a 1977 novel. FTP, identify this author, who tells the story of Betonie, Rocky, and Tayo, a World War IT veteran and half-breed Laguna, in Ceremony. Answer: Leslie Marmon Silko 3. He died in 1893 when his wife accidentally gave him an overdose of chloral, a sleeping draught. Although he had no university education, he became director of the Royal Institution. FTP, name this British scientist, one of the first men to scale the Matterhorn, best known for his 1859 discovery of an effect that explained why the sky is blue, based on his study of how a beam of light is made visible by scattered particles in the air. Answer: John Tyndall 4. Lawrence Alloway probably coined the term in 1955, using it to refer to the work of Magda Cordell, Richard Hamilton, and Paolozzi.

  • The Name Emilia-Romagna Is a Legacy of Ancient Rome. Emilia
    The name Emilia-Romagna is a legacy of Ancient Rome. Emilia derives from the via Aemilia, the Roman road connecting Piacenza to Rimini, completed in 187 BC and named after the consul Marcus Aemilius Lepi- dus. Romagna derives from Romània, the name of the Eastern Roman Em- pire applied to Ravenna by the Lombards when the western Empire had ceased to exist and Ravenna was an outpost of the east . Before the Romans took control of present-day Emilia-Romagna, it had been part of the Etruscan world and subsequently that of the Gauls. During the first thou- sand years of Christianity, trade flourished, as did culture and religion, thanks to the numerous region's monasteries. In the early Middle Ages, the University of Bologna—arguably the oldest university in Europe, having being established in AD 1088—and its bustling towns kept trade and intellec- tual life alive. Its unstable political history is exemplified in such figures as Matilda of Canossa and contending seigniories such as the Este of Ferrara, the Malatesta of Rimini, the Popes of Rome, the Farnese of Parma and Piacen- za, and the Duchy of Modena and Reggio. The House of Este had a preeminent in the region's history for its politically and military might as well as the pro- pensity of its members to become generous patrons of the arts, that during the centuries left behind a vast heritage of splendid Renaissance palaces, pre- cious paintings and literary masterpieces, such as the works of Ludovico Ario- sto, Torquato Tasso and Matteo Maria Boiardo. Emilia-Romagna is one of the wealthiest and most developed regions in Europe, with the third high- est GDP per capita in Italy.
