Petr Novotny  Yearnings.

According to the Dictionary dela Royal Spanish Academy of Language, "longing" is remembered with regret the absence, denial or loss of someone or something dear.

This feeling is what comes out in my brain it impossible to continue programming activity "Concerts in the MAVA" that our association has been developing since Feb. 22, 2013.

Three years have already served since that day in which the tenor David Romero Luengo inaugurated the series of "Concerts in the MAVA".

After it is scheduled over 24 regular concerts, a cycle of six piano concerts and another cycle of Spanish guitar consists of five concerts.

As I reported in the editorial of the Bulletin last month, the Department of Entertainment of our municipality informed me by telephone on 19 January that we could no Nuestra sede: longer continue programming Castillo Grande de these concerts in the S.J. de Valderas Auditorium of MAVA because Avda.

Madrid artist designs a work glassmakers who make the CNV for the exhibition Think Glass' Alcorcón MAVA. For Barbara Allende Gil de Biedma (the real name of Ouka Leele) photography and painting that transforms images are their usual environment, and sometimes sculpture but had never used the glass to express themselves.

barriers and I can not sort that only take pictures; I like to do a bit of everything. " The process is slow. Diego Rodriguez, master glassmaker, has worked with Barbara to choose colors and shapes to get to an idea that may have an unexpected ending. "Just as we find something else, sometimes finding out the error," warns the artist.

Until he was asked to participate in the exhibition 'Think Glass' Art Museum of Alcorcon Glass (MAVA), which later, in May, will travel to the Museum of Glass in La Granja.

The teacher uses techniques Venetian color. Once molten material, a process that begins at 450 degrees and ends at 1200, is blowing with cane steel ball glass red to go shaping, "It is an incredible opportunity for turning, marking the grooves of the fig with grater metal, making me because I worked in longer with an assistant who sculpture, but I've never done goes down to a small pit to give things in glass, a fascinating adequate volume and length to material because it provides the neck of the fruit ... volume and light."

Barbara hopes to define the end result. The initial idea, embodied in the sketches that have drawn, "is the maturity that has fallen," and the first prototypes made by the glassmakers of the Foundation CNV displayed as colored glass fruits.

They are "a fig that has fallen to the ground, which is already open and has mold and other still full of life, green transparent glass with the feeling that still hangs from the tree and a drop of nectar. Is the transition from life, "he explains enthusiastically to the new experience.

Because he likes to "break

Step by Step Barbara observes, suggests some aspect and records the whole process with the phone.

Diego will explain you every step, "now what I need is to give volume because we want a pretty big piece," he warns after adding several balls, up to four colors in one piece.

Thus a fig glass after another, each with a shape and a predominant color according to the pigment that gives the particular metal oxide, which is "an added difficulty because each color has a different plasticity".

www.amigosmava.org

When you have the desired shape and volume, each element of the sculpture (about ten kilos of weight) passes furnace cooled to 450 degrees for the temperature to go down slowly, until seven hours later, is cool and ready for cutting and polishing of the surface.

Once completed and before traveling to Alcorcon, sculpture of several pieces will be protected in a foam injection mold before final packaging.

Ouka Leele enjoy the process of creation, this time with Diego Rodriguez and other glassmakers of the CNV Foundation.

It has been demanding with colors and as the molded parts progresses, reaffirms its view that this work "is a privilege."

And he is happy with the proposal of the MAVA and for having performed in Segovia, "where I have known the woods and nature," in part a source of inspiration for this work, she says, "and I will play with time which means, because until the finish we do not know what will be. " This 'life transition' Ouka Lele will be exhibited at the MAVA Alcorcon since March 2 with the work in glass artists like Carmen Calvo, Maria Angeles San Jose, video artist Luis Patino, Carmen Algara, Manuel Bouzo or Aníbal Merlo.

They are located in high, inaccessible and difficult to reach places. But they are so important that all those who contemplate it are amazed. Are the windows of the Cathedral of Segovia, a set of glass art is more important than in Europe because of its excellent quality and scarcity.

The Lady of the Cathedrals ornate stained glass windows from 1539, which gradually have lost its original luster for various reasons, such as inclement weather or by damage caused by facts as prominent as the fire that took the tower of the Cathedral in the century XVII, which it damaged the south at the foot of the ship.

Wind is one of the great enemies of these works of art glass. One of the greatest damage produced them a gale in 1916 which caused them to have to make new the chancel.

A century after the great incident, the concern about being in perfect condition these treasures is paramount to the Cathedral Chapter. So its leaders hired in 2009 to the company 'Vetraria Muñoz de Pablos', the segoviano Carlos Muñoz de Pablos, dedicated to the creation, restoration and conservation of artistic stained glass.

The work is usually performed five people, including three children of stained glass artist, Alfonso, Pablo and Rodrigo and stained glass artist himself, who was awarded the prize Castilla y León of Arts 2005 found.

Seven years in which they have already managed to restore 47 windows of the 113 planned, following a master plan that began

basic functions: enclosure to isolate the inside from the outside; Plastic support with an image for people who could not read could understand the sacred message of the Old and New Testaments and thirdly, as a light filter, to create an environment for centuries, because "the light generating color changes because The rush here are not good for a the goal is to create an environment vast and multidisciplinary work that of transcendence, "says Alfonso requires applying various Muñoz. techniques to remove, restore and Segovia Cathedral was the last replace the windows in the huge Gothic style built in Spain and the gaps. use of light held was known very well For now, the restaurateurs are to project the vaults or create satisfied with the work done "hottest" illuminations. because "nobody says anything However, over the years and the and is a sign that is good." arrival of new styles such as Baroque In his opinion, the work performed caused five windows were removed involves "more than half" of all in order to have "a clean white light", because so far have ended "the something that clashes today in most difficult". certain points for the lighting imbalance.

Not all the windows were bad, some were well preserved and There Muñoz de Pablos and their others had visible damage, even children have another important with holes and missing elements challenge: make a contemporary with a precision and a critical study glazed, but "seeking compromise" to have managed to return all its achieve a balance between the splendor to that required it.

"The historical windows need a In fact, at the foot of the ship, the series of operations that meet the Italian Francisco Sabatini in the specific requirements posed by eighteenth century removed from its contemporary restoration.

Work could end in 2018, although "could be extended a couple of years" because "the problem is we do not know what you are getting," as recognized Alfonso and Pablo Muñoz brothers.

Permanent exhibition Since its inception, the restorers were clear that the segovianos had to admire the enormous work done closely. Therefore, the Chapel of St. Gregory welcomes a piece to appreciate in detail the delicate and complex realization of a window.

The first one was exposed was the Deposition of the XVI century, attributed to Pierres Pierres of Holland and glassmakers Chiberri in 1547. Today, you can see the triptych form up for 'The Christ with the Cross',' The sacrifice of Isaac 'and' Naomi talking to women '. It is a set of new creation that is accompanied by drawings, cartoons and documentation necessary to achieve them. In addition, the exhibition is completed with several explanatory panels developed work, the history of the Cathedral and the iconographic program of restoration.

The ultimate goal of the restoration of all windows is that from inside the cathedral, not notice anything and there is a harmony, which seems that vitralistas are getting. So far, only a scaffold is observed in the heights of Seo that use these professionals.

What is clear is that this intervention is being made, in his opinion, that "will not have to intervene in a long time."

A job that everyone can enjoy when completed this set, returning back to the Cathedral its own light.

For some time now we have been hearing different technological initiatives to create smart windows that react to environmental conditions instinctive way to create comfortable conditions inside the rooms.

industrially manufactured, except for special orders.

This is the main reason why we are not smart windows in our own homes.

What solution developed in the CSIC and how to solve these problems?

Thus, apart from user comfort, also it contributes to greater energy efficiency Our contribution in this field is a of the building, with consequent pioneer and very important. savings in energy and monetary This CSIC of Windows Smart EMDs expense that entails.

(Externally Modulated Displays) The widespread application of these technology is unprecedented because technologies is, however, very difficult innovation representing lies in the due mainly to its high cost and has possibility of manufacturing smart only been possible installation in very windows that do not require for their specific and selective situations. expensive manufacturing components such as conductive glasses (ITO) or However, the Higher Council for compounds LC , for operation.

Scientific Research (CSIC) has developed a strategy based on not based on liquid crystal (LC), which could have a wide implementation in all types of window and facade at a very economical cost materials solution.

Vitreous has maintained an interview with Professor David Levy, Department of Photonic Materials Institute of Materials Science of Madrid (ICMM), the CSIC, who has had the collaboration of Dr. Marcos Zayat, ICMM also in development this innovative and affordable technology.

What is an intelligent window and why it is not yet current use in the actual construction?

In recent years they have tried to develop successfully without valid technologies for application in smart windows, or "smart windows", based on different principles to obtain a variable transmission window light.

These two elements are those that raise very markedly manufacture of conventional smart windows (electrochromic, LCD, PDLC / GDLC, SPD, etc.) and, therefore, are a major limitation for insertion in the market.

The EMDs not only represent a very attractive to existing technologies alternative, but they are also an alternative more "accessible" in economic terms, since it will allow the manufacture reasonably priced facilitating large-scale introduction of the technology of smart windows the market and expanding the range of the sector to new potential users.

What is this new technique to achieve "smart windows"?

The operating principle of this technology is based on the controlled activation of a combination of chemical and physical reactions which produce These systems use very sophisticated the opaque-transparent glass window techniques and huge production costs, switching. especially when it comes to large for These coatings EMDs consist of thin use for example in facades, so not films of highly porous material by exposure to wet or dry air, radically www.amigosmava.org

change their optical transmission in the visible and infrared range, achieving switching between a transparent state and an opaque.

As a result, the device regulates the amount of visible light or infrared and reduces sun visibility through the glass.

None of the existing systems work, or its working principle is based, according to an air flow with controlled humidity as element that causes the change in transmittance of the new device (switching ON-OFF).

The device shown in the figure is a 15x15 cm window in which there are two coated with EMD coating facing an interior cavity through which is passed the humidity controlled air for activation glasses.

The system is complemented by an autonomous activation box which houses a system to damp or dry air circulating inside the window.

The application of this coating less than one micron thick acts as a barrier able to control the amount of light passing through glass and thus reduce visibility or provide privacy instantly, adjust the lighting in places where necessary or act as protective against solar radiation.

Its operation can be activated with a remote controller and the response times are a few seconds.

What are its main advantages?

The simple and easy preparation device and that use cheaper materials than conventionally used in other intelligent and compliant window environment, causes the manufacturing costs are extremely low, allowing the mass production of smart structures of great surface (square meters). ..//..

..//..

As an example, a square meter of a classic window to be able to perform these functions can cost thousands of euros, but with our technology just a few cents!

What applications can have this new technology?

The technology can be applied in different elements of a building windows or doors, partition panels in offices, sliding doors, regulatory elements or light protection, display screens of information, ceiling panels, skylights, mirrors for applications in architecture decoration inside or outside of buildings or regulatory elements or light protection, among others.

Its operation can be controlled with a remote controller and can be applied in intelligent buildings as windows and doors and partition panels office on sliding doors, storefronts, restaurants, shops, hotels, bathrooms, hospitals and large surfaces, creating "privacy "desired efficiently and dynamically (reversible).

They have done already testing application work? What has been the behavior?

device that can exhibit at any trade fair.

They have taken into account the current regulations at present in the building sector?

It was not necessary because it is a simple modification of currently used glass therefore adapts to these regulations.

These windows can be used in a wide variety of applications where control light passing through the window or a dynamic or controlled privacy required.

These windows may also be appropriate to reduce the air conditioning load of a building in It is this technology supports its summer and heating in winter, thus application in any type of glass or offering an optimization of energy surface or, conversely, requires any resources in buildings, but perhaps special requirements? most remarkable in terms of energy Yes, it is compatible. This is a premise savings is that the main consumer need for activation is the "water" and that we set in the first steps of this only in small amounts. invention.

This technology was created to save the current deficit windows in the market. Not only is an economic factor.

When making a smart window and pretend incorporate it into the production lines of specialized industrial sector, manufacturing processes must also be "simple".

Manufacturers also seek profitability in their manufacturing lines while saving time also reduce their costs.

We are talking about profitability of industrial processes. The EMDs meet There have been no trials work. this requirement since it is a product The EMDs have aroused great interest that is both complex and novel is of the industry related to this field, and simple to manufacture. we have good expectations apply in Another no less important advantage this sector. is its high photo-stability (do not The transfer of this technology new windows EMD is well advanced, since there is already a demonstrator or prototype preliminary laboratory size shown in the photograph.

In terms of energy efficiency, what are the advantages of this new development?

degrade light) when exposed to sunlight, which makes them valid for use abroad.

We have also managed to adapt the technology so that it can be used on surfaces that are flexible, flat, curved, We are now thinking move to the phase of scaling-up to develop a larger whether glass or polymer.

www.amigosmava.org

During times of opacity of the window allows the external view from inside the room?

No. Privacy is a target and therefore of the characteristics of the invention.

Moreover, it does allow light through, therefore not need to turn on a light to illuminate the room, but that would take advantage of ambient light.

Have you already been interest by the industry in this innovation? Where should contact companies interested in adopting this technology?

This research is aimed at both the architectural sector and decor as for windows, partitions (interior / exterior) and privacy in buildings, meeting the demands of current sustainability application in the sectors construction and energy and even the automotive sector.

Any interest in the industry in this technology that we intend to transfer our laboratory to industry is welcome, because we are at a very advanced stage and willing to make the transfer.

A group of scientists from the University of Stony Brook and the Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory in the US has developed a glass with electronic properties that integrates graphene and could optimize the screens of all types of devices and solar cells .

and lime, most common glass, which can be found in the windows, bottles and many other everyday objects.

The method that created these researchers can add layers of graphene on the surface of ordinary glass, and stands out as a scalable, easy to implement and inexpensive process.

"Sodium inside the glass creates a high density of electrons in graphene, which is essential to carry out many processes," said Nanditha Dissanayake, a member of the team, which believes it has been a challenge to get this reaction.

In tests, scientists used a glass substrate of soda

When applied the graphene, the sodium atoms present in the glass potentiated the electronic properties of the miracle material.

The method has been used to integrate graphene group in glass known as doping, through which foreign chemicals are introduced.

However, scientists discovered that graphene may be doped optimally without adding chemicals, allowing the resulting compound is more resistant to degradation.

There is still much work to be done and we need to continue research on the process of doping and carefully examine the strength of the material during exposure to operating conditions of the real world.

Potential applications of conductive glass graphene are many, from consumer electronics to energy technologies.

For example, it is a promising candidate to replace indium tin oxide in solar cells, in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) in display screens and touch.

5D data recording.

March 2016

The file is written in three layers of nanostructured points separated by five micrometers (one millionth of a meter).

Volume II — Number 86

Self-assembled nanostructures change the paths with the light passes through the glass, changing the polarization of light that can be read by combination of optical microscope and a polarizer.

Glass memory has been compared to the 'memory crystals' used in the Superman movies.

A system of eternal 5D data recording is presented.

Scientists at the University of Southampton have taken a big step forward in the development of digital data storage, able to survive for billions of years.

Using nanostructured glass, scientists Optoelectronics Research Centre at the University (ORC) have developed recording and retrieval processes fivedimensional (5D) digital data recording femtosecond laser.

With a very stable, secure portable memory form, the technology could be useful for organizations with large files, such as national archives, museums and libraries, to preserve their information and records.

The technology was demonstrated experimentally for the first time in 2013, recording a digital copy of 300 kb of a text file successfully in 5D.

Now, the main documents of human history, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the optics of Newton or This storage allows the British Magna Carta, properties have been saved as unprecedented, including digital copies that could the capacity of 360 TB / survive the human race. disk, thermal stability up to 1000 ° C and life The documents were virtually unlimited at room recorded using ultrafast temperature (13,800 lasers producing million years to 190 ° C) extremely short and by opening a new era of intense light pulses. data file eternal form.

Data is recorded via selfassembled nanostructures created in fused quartz.

The information coding is carried out in five dimensions: the size and orientation, in addition to the three-dimensional position of these nanostructures.

Professor Peter Kazansky, the ORC, says :. "It's exciting to think we've created the technology to preserve documents and information and store it in space for future generations This technology can ensure the latest evidence of our civilization. Everything we've learned will not be forgotten".

The system will be presented at the meeting of the Optical Engineering Conference in San Francisco.

With the help of the Fairy Godmother, Cinderella gets her rags turn into a splendid dress, and a pumpkin in a luxurious carriage.

At least until twelve o'clock.

Because at that time, as the story says, Cinderella has to run with your shoes glass before the illusion faded and Prince discovered his true aspect.

But physics knows no illusions or tale.

A group of students from the University of Leicester has shown that Cinderella could not have fled the Prince at twelve o'clock if I had gone driveway with glass shoes.

In research published in "Journal of Physics Special Topics", a magazine in which students do work related fiction and reality and that fit curiosities but scientific advances, these young people have evaluated the resistance that would have a heeled shoe with glass.

"While Cinderella could have been standing with her shoes, regardless of the size of the heel, you can not say

the same if I had tried walking or running," explained these young people in their particular study.

To simplify things, they agreed that Cinderella weighed 55kg and had 32 European.

He also had to take into In the best case scenario, as account the angle of the heel calculated resistance glass to the ground when walking and the forces at play, these or running, stride height, the scientists argue that pressure distribution along Cinderella could have fled the length of the heel ... etc. the Prince with a shoe with a As Mervyn Roy, one of the heel of at most 1.15 teachers responsible for this centimeters. work, National Geographic A length much less than said, "There is only one real what is usually seen in the world, but once you look in drawings. fiction, there is a vast realm of things to explore."

To reach that conclusion, students equations applied Apart from the funny, or not, to measure the resistance to that results such studies, the the weight of the shoe, when scientist also said that if Cinderella was standing today students can solve when I was walking or when problems as simple as it is I was running. thanks to the work of others in the past.

The building has 12 elevators and a forklift. Six lifts up from the floor to the 18 -4 plant and six rise from 19 to 35. The forklift makes the journey from the -4 to 37.

In that last visitable floor there is an exceptional panoramic viewpoint, which allows us to contemplate bird's eye view Cartuja, the old town, the river, Triana, Tablada or Aljarafe.

"From here you have a unique perspective of the Giralda," said Rafael Herrador yesterday, territorial director of CaixaBank, the financial institution that took over the project in 2012 after the merger of La Caixa and Cajasol.
