The potential of UAV and very high-resolution satellite imagery for yellow and stem rust detection and phenotyping in Ethiopia

Gerald Blasch David Hodson Francelino Rodrigues (2023, [Artículo])

Very high (spatial and temporal) resolution satellite (VHRS) and high-resolution unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery provides the opportunity to develop new crop disease detection methods at early growth stages with utility for early warning systems. The capability of multispectral UAV, SkySat and Pleiades imagery as a high throughput phenotyping (HTP) and rapid disease detection tool for wheat rusts is assessed. In a randomized trial with and without fungicide control, six bread wheat varieties with differing rust resistance were monitored using UAV and VHRS. In total, 18 spectral features served as predictors for stem and yellow rust disease progression and associated yield loss. Several spectral features demonstrated strong predictive power for the detection of combined wheat rust diseases and the estimation of varieties’ response to disease stress and grain yield. Visible spectral (VIS) bands (Green, Red) were more useful at booting, shifting to VIS–NIR (near-infrared) vegetation indices (e.g., NDVI, RVI) at heading. The top-performing spectral features for disease progression and grain yield were the Red band and UAV-derived RVI and NDVI. Our findings provide valuable insight into the upscaling capability of multispectral sensors for disease detection, demonstrating the possibility of upscaling disease detection from plot to regional scales at early growth stages.

Development of a thermoelectric test for electrical contactors

PABLO OROZCO CORRAL FRANCISCO JAVIER IBARRA VILLEGAS NOE VILLA VILLASEÑOR (2023, [Artículo])

In the economic model in which we develop, there is a dependence on the means of transport that every day is increasing and due to the importance of electrification in the issue of efficient and clean transportation, has caused the need for companies supplying components for automotive manufacturers to evolve and develop new technologies to stay ahead of the needs of their customers being in full evolution towards electrified transport. This evolution extends not only to manufacturing but to the test methods that currently exist, since automotive standards require suppliers to test in laboratory, the components they sell to their customers to ensure their correct operation.

THE RIGHT TO THE CITY AND URBAN-RURAL LINKAGES. COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA OF TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, CHIAPAS.

Briseida Corzo Rivera Gabriel Castañeda Nolasco (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Access to water is a common struggle of the communities in the state of Chiapas, with the effects of urban expansion these struggles increase and with them the challenges that these populations already face, having a greater impact on the rural environment. The struggles to satisfy this basic need are a factor that has triggered processes that promote community participation. Based on a qualitative analysis, this paper compares two existing forms of participation in the rural communities of the Metropolitan Area of Tuxtla Gutierrez that allow the population to manage actions to improve their quality of life. The objective is to analyze how these processes promote or restrict the empowerment of the community and allow progress, not only in the population's access to water, but also in the construction of the right to the city. From the urban-rural linkages, the right to the city is discussed beyond the city, addressing other territories. The study identifies factors that show changes in the participation of the populations and strengthen the community, as well as factors in the relationships of the community and of the community with other actors that limit the scope of the processes.

Introduction: the elevation of the transcrestal floor of the maxillary sinus consists of the vertical reconstruction of the atrophic alveolar ridge in an apical direction, with which it is possible to place the correct number and length of oral implants. Objective: to describe the procedure of a case of transcrestal maxillary sinus floor elevation with the placement of three dental implants. Clinical case: 62 year old female patient with missing teeth 16, 25 and 26. Treatment: three implants were placed to replace the missing teeth. Due to the decrease in height of the remaining alveolar ridge due to pneumatization of the maxillary sinuses, elevation of the sinus floor was planned with the transcrestal Summers¿s technique and placement of graft material. Results: by means of the grafts, sufficient height was achieved for the correct stability of the implants, each área had an average gain of 3 mm in bone height, with which length was obtained to give the implants adequate primary stability. Conclusion: sinus floor elevation with a transcrestal approach is a good alternative for rehabilitation with implants in the posterior edentulous sector, associated with pneumatization of the maxillary sinuses.

Supervivencia de Artemia franciscana en cocultivo con Vibrio campbellii y Nitzschia thermalis f. kurta

Survival of Artemia franciscana in coculture with Vibrio campbellii and Nitzschia thermalis f. kurta

Dalia Azucena Verde Inzunza (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

La acuicultura es uno de los sectores más importantes y de mayor producción alimentaria. Sin embargo, se ve afectada por enfermedades bacterianas como la vibriosis, la cual puede ocasionar pérdidas totales en los cultivos. El método más utilizado para controlar la vibriosis es el uso de antibióticos, lo cual ha contribuido al desarrollo de cepas bacterianas resistentes. Por ello, se buscan medios de control naturales para inhibir el crecimiento de Vibrio, como el uso de aguas verdes. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto inhibitorio de Nitzschia thermalis f. kurta en la concentración de V. campbellii y en la supervivencia de nauplios de Artemia franciscana al estar en cocultivo. Se realizó un bioensayo de inhibición de V. campbellii en cocultivo con N. thermalis y nauplios de A. franciscana. Se mantuvieron cultivos monoespecíficos, no axénicos y por triplicado en medio “f” con una densidad celular de 250,000 cél. mL-1 de N. thermalis. Los cultivos fueron inoculados con una concentración inicial de 1 x105 V. campbellii mL-1 y una densidad de 1 nauplio de A. franciscana mL-1. Para cada tratamiento se evaluó la densidad celular de N. thermalis, conteo de bacterias heterotróficas, cuantificación de la concentración de V. campbellii y la supervivencia de nauplios de A. franciscana durante 5 días. Se obtuvo una supervivencia promedio de 55% de nauplios de A. franciscana al estar en cocultivo con N. thermalis. Mientras que el tratamiento control sin la presencia de N. thermalis obtuvo una supervivencia de nauplios de A. franciscana del 0%. El contenido de bacterias heterotróficas se presentó en todos los tratamientos en un orden de magnitud de 106 UFC mL-1, lo cual nos indica que el efecto inhibitorio de N. thermalis es específico para V. campbellii. La concentración de V. campbellii disminuyó a 53 V. campbellii mL-1 al día 5 en el cocultivo de V. campbellii con N. thermalis y nauplios de A. franciscana. Se concluye que N. thermalis tiene un efecto inhibitorio contra V. campbellii y brinda protección a los nauplios de A. franciscana en cocultivo con V. campbellii.

Aquaculture is one of the most important sectors with the highest food production. However, it is affected by bacterial diseases such as vibriosis, which can cause total crop losses. The most used method to control vibriosis is antibiotics, which have contributed to the developing of resistant bacterial strains. For this reason, natural control means are sought to inhibit Vibrio growth, such as using green water. This work aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Nitzschia thermalis f. kurta in the concentration of V. campbellii and the survival of Artemia franciscana nauplii when in coculture. An inhibition bioassay of V. campbellii was carried out in coculture with N. thermalis and nauplii of A. franciscana. Monospecific, non-axenic cultures were maintained in triplicate in “f” medium with a cell density of 250,000 cells mL-1 of N. thermalis. The cultures were inoculated with an initial concentration of 1 x105 V. campbellii mL-1 and a density of 1 nauplius of A. franciscana mL-1. For each treatment, the cell density of N. thermalis, count of heterotrophic bacteria, quantification of the concentration of V. campbellii, and the survival of A. franciscana nauplii were evaluated for 5 days. Was obtained an average survival of 55% of A. franciscana nauplii when cocultured with N. thermalis. In contrast, the control treatment without the presence of N. thermalis obtained a survival of A. franciscana nauplii of 0%. The content of heterotrophic bacteria was present in all treatments in order of magnitude of 106 CFU mL-1, which indicates that the inhibitory effect of N. thermalis is specific to V. campbellii. The concentration of V. campbellii decreased to 53 V. campbellii mL-1 on day 5 in the co-culture of V. campbellii with N. thermalis and A. franciscana nauplii. It is concluded that N. thermalis has an inhibitory effect against V. campbellii and provides protection to A. franciscana nauplii in coculture with V. campbellii.

Desarrollo de nanocompositos de cápside viral P22 para la terapia con profármacos enzimáticos en cáncer de mama

Development of P22 viral capsid nanocomposites for enzymatic prodrug therapy in breast cancer

Astrid Rebeca Luna Rios (2024, [Tesis de maestría])

Las estrategias actuales contra el cáncer de mama presentan limitaciones debido a la falta de selectividad, disminuyendo su efectividad. La mayoría de los fármacos, como el tamoxifeno, requieren la activación metabólica por parte de las enzimas de la familia citocromo P450 (CYP) para ejercer mayores efectos anticancerígenos. Sin embargo, la concentración del CYP es variable y baja en las células tumorales, especialmente en el cáncer de mama, lo que provoca efectos secundarios. En la terapia de activación enzimática de profármacos (EPT), las enzimas se dirigen al tumor para transformar el profármaco, lo que normalmente implica la administración de la enzima seguida del profármaco. Sin embargo, las diferencias entre la farmacocinética y farmacodinamia son un obstáculo para mejorar el tratamiento. Por lo tanto, la administración conjunta de profármaco y enzima es esencial para garantizar su interacción favorable en el tumor. Este trabajo reporta una nueva clase de nanocompositos terapéuticos basados en partículas tipo virus P22 confinando CYP, funcionalizadas superficialmente con glucosa oxidasa (GOx) que transforma la glucosa en D-glucono-δ-lactona produciendo H2O2, el aceptor final de electrones en la transformación de tamoxifeno mediado por CYP, y conjugadas con un derivado de tamoxifeno como profármaco y ligando dirigido utilizando polietilenglicol como conector. En un microambiente tumoral rico en glucosa, estos nanocompuestos pueden producir fármaco activo in situ. Se caracterizaron las propiedades fisicoquímicas y la catálisis secuencial mediada por glucosa de los nanocompositos. Los estudios in vitro demostraron una disminución en la viabilidad celular en líneas celulares de cáncer de mama ER+ y ER-. Sin embargo, la internalización celular en ausencia de glucosa mostró ser preferencial con las VLPs dirigidas en ambas líneas celulares. La administración conjunta de enzimas y profármacos con una localización mejorada de las VLPs desarrolladas después de la funcionalización del tamoxifeno, lo que sugiere el potencial de los nanocompositos desarrollados para superar los desafíos existentes de la EPT y mejorar los resultados terapéuticos con efectos secundarios reducidos.

Current treatment strategies against breast cancer have limitations due to lack in selectivity. Most drugs, such as tamoxifen, require metabolic activation by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes to perform greater anticancer effects. However, the concentration of CYP varies and is low in tumor cells, especially in breast cancer, resulting in side-effects. In enzyme prodrug therapy (EPT), enzymes are targeted to the tumor cells for prodrug transformation, typically involving the sequential delivery of the enzyme followed by the prodrug. However, differences in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are a major hindrance for improving treatment. Therefore, co-delivery of prodrug and enzyme is essential to ensure their favorable interaction in tumor. This work reports a new class of therapeutic nanocomposites based on P22 virus like particles (VLPs) confining the CYP activity, surface functionalized with glucose oxidase (GOx) that transforms glucose into D-glucono-δ-lactone producing hydrogen peroxide, the final electron acceptor in the CYP-mediated transformation of tamoxifen, and together conjugated with a tamoxifen derivative as prodrug and targeting ligand using polyethylene glycol as a linker. In glucose-rich tumor microenvironment, these nanocomposites can produce active drug in situ. The physicochemical properties and sequential glucose-mediated catalysis of the nanocomposites were characterized. In vitro studies demonstrated a decrease in cell viability in both ER+ and ER- breast cancer cell lines. However, cellular internalization in the absence of glucose showed improved uptake of targeted VLPs in both cell lines. The co-delivery of enzymes and prodrug with improved localization of developed VLPs after tamoxifen functionalization, suggests the potential of developed nanocomposites to overcome the existing challenges of EPT and improve the therapeutic outcomes with reduced side effects.
