El educador católico del siglo XXI afronta, entre múltiples desafíos, la tarea de acercar vivencialmente la Sagrada Escritura a sus alumnos, haciendo de ella, más que un simple material de trabajo empleado durante las clases de religión. Constatamos, por la experiencia docente, en el área de educación religiosa, que la utilización que hacemos de la Palabra es, más bien, instrumental, en cuanto puede servir para validar una propuesta catequético-doctrinal que estamos proponiendo. Pocas veces, afrontamos la Sagrada Escritura en sí misma, tratando de descubrir su mensaje salvífico para nuestra vida. En definitiva, enseñamos un pasaje bíblico y no suscitamos la reflexión sobre cuál fue la situación histórica que lo generó y sobre y cómo puede actualizarse para iluminarnos hoy. Si esta constatación es real, también lo es, el desconocimiento y poco acercamiento vital que ...

New versions of the metaheuristic Multi-Particle Collision Algorithm (MPCA) are presented. In order to provide more effective candidate solutions for an optimization problem, the concept of opposition and reflection is introduced to improve the capacity to find a solution in the search space. Four different strategies to compute the reflected and opposite points are implemented. The performance of all implementations is evaluated over thirty objective functions with different complexities, using serial and parallel versions of the algorithms.

In this research it is to select and find the main dimensions of a dryer for organic fertilizer, produced by the company BIOFERT SAC, from a Lagrangian perspective developed in previous studies, which combine heat transfer and mass movement of a individual particle through the dryer. In the first part of the study, a selection process dryer develops, if it is true not only a dryer is right, will choose whichever is more suitable for the type of material to be dried, then a thermodynamic analysis develops dryer to obtain a mass flow and air properties required for drying certain amount of moist product. an algorithm that associates the physical properties of the material with the mass transfer and heat, and has as output the main dimensions of drier (such as diameter and length) is then established. the EES (Engineering Equations Solver) software is a tool widely used in the area of therm...
