Remedies for the Inconsistences in the Times of Execution of the Unsorted Database Search Algorithm within the Wave Approach

Manuel Ávila Aoki José Benito Elizalde Salas (2017, [Artículo])

The typical semiclassical wave version of the unsorted database search algorithm based on a system of coupled simple harmonic oscillators does not consider an important ingredient of Grovers original algorithm as it is quantum entanglement. The role of entanglement in the wave version of the unsorted database search algorithm is explored and contradictions with the time of execution of Grovers algorithm are found. We remedy the contradictions by employing two arguments, one of them qualitative and the other quantitative. For the qualitative argument we employ the probabilistic nature of a legitimate quantum algorithm and remedy the above inconsistence. Within the quantitative argument we identify a parameter in the wave version of the unsorted database search algorithm which is related to entanglement. The contradiction with the time of execution of Grovers algorithm is solved by choosing an appropriate values of such a parameter which incorporates entanglement to the wave version of the unsorted database search algorithm. The utility of the present arguments are evident if the wave version of the unsorted data base search algorithm is experimentally implemented through a system of N quantum dots with a harmonic oscillator potential as a confinement potential for each of the quantum dots. Each of the above N vibrating quantum dots must be coupled to an extra single vibrating quantum dot which entangles to all of them. In order to obtain optimal results, the coupling constants of the mentioned quantum dots should be adjusted in the way described in the present work.

Rapid effects of marine reserves via larval dispersal

Richard Cudney Bueno (2009, [Artículo])

Marine reserves have been advocated worldwide as conservation and fishery management tools. It is argued that they can protect ecosystems and also benefit fisheries via density-dependent spillover of adults and enhanced larval dispersal into fishing areas. However, while evidence has shown that marine reserves can meet conservation targets, their effects on fisheries are less understood. In particular, the basic question of if and over what temporal and spatial scales reserves can benefit fished populations via larval dispersal remains unanswered. We tested predictions of a larval transport model for a marine reserve network in the Gulf of California, Mexico, via field oceanography and repeated density counts of recently settled juvenile commercial mollusks before and after reserve establishment. We show that local retention of larvae within a reserve network can take place with enhanced, but spatially-explicit, recruitment to local fisheries. Enhancement occurred rapidly (2 yrs), with up to a three-fold increase in density of juveniles found in fished areas at the downstream edge of the reserve network, but other fishing areas within the network were unaffected. These findings were consistent with our model predictions. Our findings underscore the potential benefits of protecting larval sources and show that enhancement in recruitment can be manifested rapidly. However, benefits can be markedly variable within a local seascape. Hence, effects of marine reserve networks, positive or negative, may be overlooked when only focusing on overall responses and not considering finer spatially-explicit responses within a reserve network and its adjacent fishing grounds. Our results therefore call for future research on marine reserves that addresses this variability in order to help frame appropriate scenarios for the spatial management scales of interest. © 2009 Cudney-Bueno et al.

Economics of crop residue management

Vijesh Krishna Maxwell Mkondiwa (2023, [Artículo])

More than five billion metric tons of agricultural residues are produced annually worldwide. Despite having multiple uses and significant potential to augment crop and livestock production, a large share of crop residues is burned, especially in Asian countries. This unsustainable practice causes tremendous air pollution and health hazards while restricting soil nutrient recycling. In this review, we examine the economic rationale for unsustainable residue management. The sustainability of residue utilization is determined by several economic factors, such as local demand for and quantity of residue production, development and dissemination of technologies to absorb excess residue, and market and policy instruments to internalize the social costs of residue burning. The intervention strategy to ensure sustainable residue management depends on public awareness of the private and societal costs of open residue burning.

Detección de florecimientos algales producidos por cianobacterias, como posible causante de la mortandad de manatíes y peces, así como la hidrodinámica del sistema fluvial del río Bitzales, Macuspana, Tabasco

María del Pilar Saldaña Fabela Jorge Luis Izurieta Dávila Camilo Vázquez Bustos Maria Antonieta Gomez Balandra JUAN GABRIEL GARCIA MALDONADO (2019, [Documento de trabajo])

El deterioro de los recursos hídricos es una constante en países en desarrollo; ríos contaminados; procesos de eutroficación en lagos, reservorios y ríos por el incremento en nitrógeno y fósforo; ecosistemas de agua dulce severamente afectados por actividades antrópicas, son factores que tienen en común los países de América Latina, incluido México y que deben revertirse. Tal es el caso de la cuenca baja del río Grijalva en el estado de Tabasco. Aunado a lo anterior, los efectos por la fragmentación del sistema hidrológico por la creación de canales en el sistema Bitzales, así como los cambios climáticos por las severas sequías que se presentan, ocasionaron la mortandad masiva del manatí del Caribe (Trichechus manatus) en 2018, una especies emblemáticas de la zona, enlistada en la Norma Oficial Mexicana NOM-059-SEMARNAT-2010, bajo el estatus de Peligro de Extinción (P) y en estatus de especie vulnerable por la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN).

El objetivo del proyecto fue determinar las fuentes de contaminación en la zona. Se presentan los resultados que se obtuvieron del total de 777 análisis, correspondiendo 252 a las mediciones de campo (in situ), 480 a los parámetros de laboratorio (ex situ) y 45 parámetros biológicos también en laboratorio. Se encontró que existe una correlación alta entre el OD y ORP en el sistema, por lo que estas dos variables pueden ser utilizadas como indicadoras de deterioro y cambio en la calidad del agua, además de los indicadores para florecimientos de cianobacterias.

GENERAL STUDY OF CLASSICAL AND NONCLASSICAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF TWO PHOTON ABSORPTION PROCESS IN ORGANIC MOLECULES

Freiman Estiven Triana Arango (2023, [Tesis de doctorado])

"Two-photon absorption (TPA), a nonlinear optical phenomenon, is gaining attention for applications like laser scanning, microscopy, and therapy. Recent research explores entangled two photon absorption (ETPA) using correlated photons but faces debates regarding its magnitude and detection. This study introduces a novel method using changes in Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interferogram visibility to probe ETPA's presence. It employs Rhodamine B dye and entangled photons at around 800nm to investigate conditions conducive to observing ETPA-induced changes. This innovative approach distinguishes genuine ETPA signals from linear optical losses often masquerading as ETPA effects, addressing a significant field challenge."

Intimate partner violence and its relationship to labor income

Yei Javier Zepeda Hernández Alma Sofia Santillan (2024, [Artículo, Artículo])

In Mexico, 70.1% of women have been victims of violence in their lifetime and the main perpetrator is her intimate partner. Gender violence is a public health problem that has multiple negative impacts in woman and their offsprings. The relation violence and income is an issue that has been scarcely studied for Mexico. The objective of this article is to analyze the intimate partner violence and its relationship to labor income for Mexican women, data used are from the National Survey on the Dynamics of Households Relationships (ENDIREH 2021). The principal component method is used to estimate five kinds of violence; physical, emotional, economic, sexual and, harassment. The instrumental variables method is used to consider the endogeneity of income and violence variables. Except harassment, the results indicate a negative relationship between income and violence. Specifically, sexual violence has the greatest negative effects; women who are victims of sexual violence have an average reduction of 17.4% in monthly labor income. This negative effect represents a loss of just over two month of working days per year and, in the aggregate terms, is equivalent to 0.87% of GDP. The above highlights the importance of orienting public policy actions to work in prevention, attention, punishment and eradications any kind of violence against women.

LA GASTRITIS EN AMATLÁN, MORELOS DE EMOCIONES, ELECCIONES Y CONDICIONES PARA TRATARLA

Everardo Urquiza Martínez (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

"En México, la quinta causa de morbilidad son las úlceras, gastritis y duodenitis según el anuario epidemiológico de la Secretaria de salud del 2021. Desde la perspectiva biomédica, la gastritis es una enfermedad que provoca un aumento en la producción de ácido gástrico, produciendo lesiones en el estómago. Se considera que se puede presentar de forma crónica o aguda. La etiología biomédica remite sus causas a la bacteria Helycobacter Pylori, malos hábitos alimenticios y de consumo, lesiones internas, como consecuencia de otras enfermedades y por nerviosismo (Valdivia, 2011). Su diagnóstico usualmente se realiza mediante inspección médica sin exámenes o pruebas de laboratorio y, si bien se controlan los síntomas, su cronicidad depende de otros múltiples factores que intentaremos averiguar (Valdivia, 2011). Por otro lado, la psicología la considera una enfermedad psicosomática, según el psicólogo y antropólogo Sergio López (2002), vinculada al estrés, ansiedad y nerviosismo. Según curanderos locales de Amatlán de Quetzalcóatl, Morelos, dicha enfermedad es un padecimiento recurrente en el pueblo, que forma parte del municipio de Tepoztlán. Dado que la gastritis es una de las enfermedades más comunes en México y se asocia a malestares emocionales en su acepción psicológica y popular, la intención es averiguar cómo las personas enfermas con gastritis construyen y representan socioculturalmente la enfermedad, indagando la perspectiva provista por los curadores, explorando la relación de su vida cotidiana, sus emociones y las condicionantes estructurales para tratarla y vivir con ella mediante los recursos disponibles. La idea es analizar los aspectos subjetivos del padecimiento mediante el entramado emocional, que conlleva nociones de sentido y significaciones culturales interiorizadas que moldean el horizonte afectivo local".
