Tras tres años dominando el ranking de las empresas más valiosas del planeta, el gigante de Internet Google ha desbancado a Apple tras subir su valor un 40% en el último año. Así, la marca de la manzana se ve relegada a un segundo puesto tras descender su valor en un 20%.
El Gobierno chino anunció que prohibirá el uso de Windows 8, el más reciente sistema operativo de Windows, «como medida para garantizar la seguridad», informó la agencia oficial Xinhua.
Paso a paso, sin prisa pero sin pausa, León camina hacia uno de sus objetivos de futuro: ser un centro de excelencia en ciberseguridad sirviendo de complemento tanto al Instituto Nacional de Tecnologías de la Comunicación (Inteco) como a la multinacional Microsoft.
En ese proceso la Universidad de León ha comenzado el proceso de selección para la contratación de dos investigadores en ciberseguridad, a los que se sumará un coordinador de equipo. Pero la apuesta va más allá.

The Laboratory for Fluid-Structure Interaction (LIFE) (http://www.etseq.urv.es/life) of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) (www.urv.cat) in Tarragona (Spain), is looking for an enthusiastic research student with a strong interest in fluid dynamics. Successful candidates will join a small but very active multidisciplinary team, working in fluid-structure interaction problems. The research will be mainly experimental and focused in the area of fluid-structure interaction with application to several engineering problems. Some of the topics that will covered during the research include but are not limited to: dynamics of offshore energy generation devices; new concepts for offshore energy generation; aero/hydrodynamics of offshore wind turbines; wake interactions between wind turbines; new designs of vertical axis wind turbines; flapping based propulsion/harvesting systems etc… The work will be mainly experimental and will be carried out at the department facilities, including two wind tunnels and a large free surface water channel. There is also the possibility to use and develop CFD and FEM prediction tools.
CANDIDATES: Successful candidates must hold a Master degree in Engineering (at least equivalent to a 5 years course in Engineering), in the areas of Mechanical, Industrial, Aeronautical, Naval or Civil Engineering. Preference will be given to candidates able to demonstrate the following desired skills:
– Matlab or another scientific programming language.
– LabVIEW or other instrumentation oriented programming language.
– Mechanical engineering design tools such as Pro/Engineer, Solidworks…
– Finite Element packages such as ANSYS, ABAQUS,…
– Experience with the use of optical measurement techniques, especially PIV.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE: Interested candidates should send the following documents, in English or Spanish, to Francisco J Huera-Huarte (francisco.huera@urv.cat). The application procedure can be found in:
– Complete CV (with photography)
– List of subjects and grades of first degree.
– Name and contact details of 2 academic referees.
To avoid problems with the Spam filters, include in the SUBJECT OF THE EMAIL the following text: URV 2014 PhD studentships, otherwise application might not be processed.
