  • Welcome to the 17Th International Conference on Liquid and Amorphous Metals!
    L A M – 1 7 Lyon, 26-30 August 2019 17th International Conference C T S on Liquid and Amorphous Metals T R A A B S 1 https://lam‐17.sciencesconf.org 2 https://lam‐17.sciencesconf.org Welcome to the 17th International Conference on Liquid and Amorphous Metals! The 17th International Conference on Liquids and Amorphous Metals in Lyon, August 26‐30, 2019, continues a series of meetings held every three years, most recently in Beijing, China (2013), and in Bonn, Germany (2016). In 2019, LAM‐17 is hosted jointly by the Institut Lumière Matière (ILM), University of Lyon 1, INSA and CNRS in Lyon. The aim of LAM conferences is to discuss new advances and future directions in the field of liquid and amorphous metals, by employing theoretical and simulations studies, laboratory techniques and large scale facilities such as synchrotrons and free electron lasers. The 17th edition will also include presentations on non‐metallic materials, such as molecular glasses, polymers and colloids in order to encourage the interdisciplinary among different disordered materials fields. The scientific program of LAM‐17 consists of plenary sessions, parallel oral sessions with invited keynotes and contributed presentations, as well as poster sessions. Presenters were invited or selected based on their abstract submissions by the International Advisory and Program Committees and the local organizing committee. The two best posters presented by students will be awarded with the possibility to perform a short term visit in a partner laboratory. The welcome cocktail on Monday, August 26th, at Villemanzy in the heart of the Lyon, is a first opportunity for conference participants to know each other and to network.

Y ese nombre no es otro que el de Marcelo Ríos. Desde sus primeros pasos en el profesionalismo, la figura del zurdo de Vitacura se ha convertido en uno de los ejes fundamentales de la prensa deportiva nacional, reactivando un segmento deportivo que estaba sumido en una de las crisis más grandes de los últimos años. Marcelo Ríos se ha transformado en una de las figuras noticiosas más importantes de nuestro país. Portada de diarios y revistas, ya sea deportivos o no; figura recurrente en los estelares de televisión; foco noticioso recurrente de noticieros; personaje de interés por su juego y personalidad ha contribuido enormemente a la difusión del deporte blanco en nuestro país que, por fin, cuenta con un ídolo que le permita recuperar el rumbo perdido.

  • Manufacturing in Argentina, Brazil and Chile: Challenges and Opportunities
    Manufacturing in Argentina, Brazil and Chile: Challenges and Opportunities INDUSTRIAL MARKETS Contents Preface 1 Executive Summary 2 Introduction 6 Argentina: manufacturing investment and operations 21 Brazil: manufacturing investment and operations 36 Chile: manufacturing investment and operations 53 Conclusion 66 Manufacturing in Argentina, Brazil and Chile 1 Manufacturing in Argentina, Brazil and Chile: Challenges and Opportunities Something new and surprising is taking place in South America: in a region often marked by risk, uncertainty, and crisis, confidence is now rising rapidly. The economies of the region are clearly reviving. Overall growth rates are up. Currencies are appreciating. Yet inflation remains relatively low, and country risk ratings are falling. The revival is all the more surprising considering the depth of the crisis that sent an economic shockwave throughout the region in 2001, a crisis that brought the Argentine economy to its knees and which affected confidence, growth and currencies in Brazil, Chile and elsewhere. Global demand for agricultural products and commodities have helped drive the revival. But in many regional economies, domestic demand is also strong as personal incomes rise. And companies are responding to the atmosphere of renewed confidence with significant new direct investment commitments. What is more, these investments are increasingly in the manufacturing sector. After a decade or more when the majority of direct investment in the region was driven by privatization of the services sector, investment is now returning in force to manufacturing, increasing value added and creating new jobs. KPMG International recently asked a range of leading manufacturing companies to discuss the roots of this revival, in a series of lengthy one-to-one interviews with senior corporate strategists and CFOs.
