TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the charging of electric vehicles in Spain and assess the current situation to be able to propose potential improvements or implementation strategies, and determine that it is necessary to develop public policies for a structured implementation of charging stations in public places and in common-use areas within large shared spaces, such as parking areas and residential areas.
Abstract: The transportation sector is characterized by a high consumption of fossil fuels and a strong environmental impact. Promoting electric vehicles is an alternative to reduce and limit them move towards the sustainability of the automobile sector. In a short period of time, world car manufacturers have built, marketed and sold a million electric vehicles, and a million drivers got used to these new low carbon advanced technologies. Comparatively, this figure represents approximately the average annual sales of conventional vehicles in Spain. The main problem is the battery autonomy, since its maximum range does not exceed 250 km, a restriction that limits the trip. Spain belongs to the group of countries which have longest trip average around 80 km. Then the problem is how to understand electric mobility, for that the types and modes of charging, the types of electric vehicles, and the available charging systems all interact with one another in the charging systems for electric vehicles, which will be specifically analysed. Alternative charging methods are also presented, and the agents involved in the charging process in accordance with applicable regulations are identified. The objective of this article is to analyse the charging of electric vehicles in Spain and to assess the current situation to be able to propose potential improvements or implementation strategies. This paper determines that it is necessary to develop public policies for a structured implementation of charging stations in public places and in common-use areas within large shared spaces, such as parking areas and residential areas in order to improve electric mobility in Spain. This paper also illustrates the need to legislate standards for charging electric vehicles to maximize their implementation in Spain, with the goal of implementing electric vehicles on a larger scale and ultimately allowing society to benefit from the advantages of this technology.

TL;DR: In this paper, a long rainfall series in Andalusia (southern Spain) is analyzed using historical climatology and different statistical tools were used to detect and characterize significant changes in this series.
Abstract: In this work a long rainfall series in Andalusia (southern Spain) is analysed. Methods of historical climatology were used to reconstruct a 500-year series from historical sources. Different statistical tools were used to detect and characterize significant changes in this series. Results indicate rainfall fluctuations, without abrupt changes, in the following alternating dry and wet phases: 1501–1589 dry, 1590–1649 wet, 1650–1775 dry, 1776-1937 wet and 1938–1997 dry. Possible causal mechanisms are discussed, emphasizing the important contribution of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) to rainfall variability in the region. Solar activity is discussed in relation to the Maunder Minimum period, and finally the past and present are compared. Results indicate that the magnitude of fluctuations is similar in the past and present. Copyright © 2000 Royal Meteorological Society

TL;DR: A total concordance was found in the identification with PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism of the ITS region after analysing certified yeast strains from two different culture collections.
Abstract: Yeast isolates from orange fruit and juice in a spontaneous fermentation were identified and classified by two molecular techniques. The first was analysis of the restriction pattern generated from the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified 5.8S rRNA gene and the two internal transcribed spacers (ITS) using specific primers. The second technique was sequence analysis of the ITS regions using the same two primers. Nine different restriction profiles were obtained from the size of the PCR products and the restriction analyses with three endonucleases (CfoI, HaeIII and HinfI). These groups were identified as Candida tropicalis, Clavispora lusitaniae, Hanseniaspora uvarum, Pichia anomala, Pichia fermentans, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces unisporus, and Trichosporon asahii. Checking against identification according to morphological, physiological and biochemical traits corroborated this molecular identification. A total concordance was found in the identification with PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism of the ITS region after analysing certified yeast strains from two different culture collections. Consequently, a rapid and reliable identification of the yeast populations was achieved by using molecular techniques.
