— We present the first results from the ALHAMBRA survey. ALHAMBRA will cover a relatively wide area (4 square degrees) using a purposely-designed set of 20 medium-band filters, down to an homogeneous magnitude limit AB ≈ 25 in most of them, adding also deep near-infrared imaging in JHKs. To this aim we are using the Calar Alto 3.5m telescope. A small area of the ALHAMBRA survey has already been...

The Alhambra (14th century AD) in Granada (southeast Spain) is built at the summit of a Pliocene to Lower Pleistocene conglomeratic formation. Tens of small-scale normal faults crop out along the northern hillslope of the Alhambra, which have a N130–N150 E strike, dipping 65–75 mostly to the southwest. These are closely spaced faults (approximately 5–30 m) with centimetre to several metre displ...

On the occasion of the approaching International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) (Madrid 2006) it is appropriate to renew the enjoyment of the arts—modern as well as historical—that grace many locations in Spain. The cover of the February 2006 issue, and the article by Allyn Jackson (starting on p. 218) are helpful, as is the note of Bill Casselman (on p. 213). Two sentences in the latter made...

Violent events are main causes of mortality among children and include intentional (e.g., homicide) and unintentional (e.g., accidents) circumstances. This study investigated the prediction of the self-reported occurrence of 14 violent events among eighth-grade youth from psychosocial variables measured in these same youth in seventh grade. Psychosocial variables inV iolent events include both ...
