A WEB site for Mexican coastal lagoons.
The coastal zone, from the perspective of its ecological study, represents a challenge, since a mosaic of habitats, ecosystems, biotopes and ecotones are located in this wide strip of land. The interaction of the sea with the wetlands and the characteristics of the latter form a complex object of study, where the analysis of each of its components and an integral vision of the ecosystem are essential elements for the understanding and interpretation of the diverse phenomena that occur there. The present project consists of the development of a digital consultation web system that uses new technologies to improve the consultation process, to provide complete and updated information on coastal ecosystems through the Mexican Coastal Ecosystems Documentation Center (CDELM), as well as to provide a series of functionalities in the site's consultation process. Nowadays, web sites are of vital importance and indispensable for accessing specialized information, since they make it possible to disseminate it more widely. Here, technologies are developed that effectively served to compile all the CDELM information with its respective guidelines.

Fortran 95 Handbook
The Fortran 95 Handbook, a comprehensive reference work for the Fortran programmer and implementor, contains a complete description of the Fortran 95 programming language. The chapters follow the same sequence of topics as the Fortran 95 standard, but contain a more thorough and informal explanation of the language's features and many more examples. Appendices describe all the intrinsic features, the deprecated features, and the complete syntax of the language. The Handbook also includs a feature not found in the standard: a cross reference of all the syntax terms, giving the rule that defines each term and all the rules that reference it. Major new features added in Fortran 95 are the 'FORALL' statement and construct, pure and elemental procedures, and structure and pointer default initialization.
