Sistema de Pronóstico Automatizado de Oleaje

JOSE ANTONIO SALINAS PRIETO ROBERTO PADILLA HERNANDEZ René Lobato-Sánchez (2004)

Se sintetizan los procedimientos aplicados para implementar un sistema de pronóstico de viento y oleaje para el Golfo de México al que se le denominó POMA (Pronóstico de Oleaje con Modelos Acoplados). Este sistema está conformado por los modelos: MM5, WAM-PROMISE y SWAN, en sistemas de mallas anidadas. La validación del sistema se basó en comparaciones con boyas propiedad del Centro Nacional de Datos de Boyas. El proceso de anidamiento consistió en generar una malla que cubre la totalidad del Atlántico Tropical (hemisferio norte), donde se simularon vientos a diez metros de altura en relación con el nivel de la superficie (con el modelo MM5); esta información se transfiere al modelo de oleaje global WAM, que abarca aguas profundas, con el que simula en una malla interna el oleaje que a su vez contiene mallas internas, a las que se les transfiere condiciones iniciales y de frontera, para simular oleaje en aguas someras. El sistema POMA fue verificado mediante diversos eventos; en este artículo se muestran tres casos con características de viento diferentes: 1) situación de calma, 2) frente frío y 3) huracán. Los resultados se despliegan automáticamente en una página Web de acceso restringido, visualizándose dos mallas internas en costas mexicanas: Caribe y Golfo de México. El sistema tiene la capacidad de incorporar nuevas mallas anidadas en sitios con interés regional.

Metabolic syndrome (MS) has been associated with testicular damage. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a multisystemic disease that affects different organs, but its effect on the testes is unknown. A study analyzing germ cell involvement on BALB/c mice was carried out. A parallel comparative study was conducted that investigated alterations in the germinal epithelium of male humans that died from an unrelated acute event. The complete medical histories and histologic samples of the thoracic aorta, liver tissue, and testicular tissue from the deceased subjects were collected. The degree of germinal epithelial loss (DGEL) was evaluated and the clinical and histologic data were compared between individuals with and without NAFLD. The only metabolic or morphologic variable that caused a significant difference in the DGEL, in both the animal model and humans, was the presence of liver steatosis. The percentage of steatosis was also correlated with the percentage of the DGEL. In humans, steatosis (greater than 20%) increased the risk 12-fold for presenting with a severe DGEL (OR: 12.5; 95% CI [1.2, 128.9]; p = .03). There was no association with age above 50 years or MS components. Steatosis grade was also correlated with atherosclerosis grade. NAFLD was a strongly associated factor implicated in severe DGEL, as well as the testis was identified as a probable target organ for damage caused by the disease. his finding could result in the search for new approach strategies in the management of men with fertility problems. Further studies are required to confirm these results.
