The polyethylene market status was evaluated globally, and especially in South America, identifying the role of
Bolivia, in its way from importer to exporter, on the basis of the polymers plant projected for 2018. The source
and the characteristics of the prime matter were identified, as well as the technology and the type of products.
Also, the diverse technologies of polymerization for the products: HDPE, LLDPE, LDPE, etc., are discussed in
this review. Simulation of the ethylene polymerization in a fluidized bed reactor is here discussed. Spanish title:

ABSTRACT
Subspace clustering has been successfully applied to different datasets, especially those characterized by a high
dimensionality. However most of the traditional state-of-the-art subspace clustering algorithms have usually
many parameters that are hard to tune. Recently, it has been proposed a new evolutionary subspace clustering
that takes advantage of its evolvable genome structure to adapt to different datasets without any complicated
parameters tuning. In this paper we apply this new technique to study 36 chemical molecules characterized by a
large number of molecular descriptors in order to determine clusters with distinctive characteristics likely to be
adsorbed on activated carbon BPL. Spanish title: Anlisis de subspace clustering de molculas utilizando Chameleoclust, un

ABSTRACT
This is the eighth chapter in the series: The Organic Chemistry Notebook Series, a Didactical Approach.
The aim of this series of studies is to help students to have a graphical view of organic synthesis reactions of
diverse nature. Here we discuss, from a mechanistic stand point, some methods for the stereospecific synthesis of
alkenes from 1,2-diols. One of the best ones utilizes as precursors, the cyclic thionocarbonates obtained from the
diol with thiophosgene. We describe by mechanisms, the use of 1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3,2-diazophospholidine
as an alternative for the decomposition of thionocarbonates into alkenes. We discuss by mechanisms, a general
and unambiguous method for the interconversion of Z- and E-alkenes. Thus, the conversion of the (Z)-

cyclooctene into the E isomer is detailed here. The mechanism of the conversion of meso-1,4-diphenylbutan-2,3diol into (Z)-1,4-diphenyl-2-butene is here described. We have used various series of reactions reviewed by W.
Carruthers in Some modern methods of organic synthesis, and we have proposed didactical and mechanistic
views for them. This theme is included in the chapter Formation of carbon-carbon double bonds in the text
mentioned above. Spanish title: Sntesis estereoespecfica de alquenos a partir de 1,2-dioles; vistas mecanicsticas; de la serie: El
