Monitoreo e Instalación visual de señales a un motor eléctrico de inducción de instalación trifásica de forma jaula de ardilla, mediante la implementación de tecnología industria 4.0

Luis Ricardo Uribe Dávila (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

Vivimos la industria 4.0, misma que no es nueva, ya que sus orígenes se remontan a finales de la década de los 2000, en Alemania. Un pilar de la industria 4.0 es el análisis de datos, conocido como Big Data. El conocer los datos de un proceso, de un estudio, ayuda en gran medida a predecir el comportamiento que tendrá el proceso o la máquina a estudiar en un periodo a corto o mediano plazo. En el presente proyecto se analizan los datos arrojados por un motor eléctrico de corriente alterna, del tipo inducción, jaula de ardilla. El motor está diseñado para trabajar de manera continua, sin embargo, el uso que se le da, es meramente educativo; es decir, no sobre pasa las 15 horas por semana de uso. Mediante la toma de datos de las tres fases de corriente RMS o corriente de valor eficaz que posee el motor eléctrico que se realizará con el microcontrolador Arduino UNO, se analizarán los mismos mediante el software de cómputo numérico MATLAB, ordenando los datos, descartando valores que no aporten información relevante para lograr la predicción de datos. Por último, se llevará a conocer este proyecto a la carrera mecatrónica, área sistemas de manufactura flexible y área automatización, con el fin de que puedan observar de una mejor manera la aplicación y funcionamiento de uno de los pilares de la actual industria 4.0.

We live in industry 4.0, which is not new, since its origins date back to the late 2000s, in Germany. One pillar of industry 4.0 is data analysis, known as Big Data. Knowing the data of a process, of a study, helps greatly to predict the behavior that the process or machine will have to study in a short- or medium-term period. This project analyzes the data released by an electric motor of alternating current, of the type induction, squirrel cage. The engine is designed to work continuously, however, the use given to it is merely educational, that is; only not over spends 15 hours per week of use. By taking data from the three phases of RMS current or effective value current of the electric motor that will be made with the Arduino UNO micro controller, they will be analyzed using MATLAB numerical computing software, ordering the data, discarding values that do not provide relevant information to achieve data prediction. Finally, this project will be presented to the mechatronics career, flexible manufacturing systems area and automation area, so that they can observe in a better way the application and operation of one of the pillars of the current industry 4.0.

Review of Nationally Determined Contributions (NCD) of China from the perspective of food systems

Tek Sapkota (2023, [Documento de trabajo])

China is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG) and one of the countries most affected by climate change. China's food systems are a major contributor to climate change: in 2018, China's food systems emitted 1.09 billion tons of carbondioxide equivalent (CO2eq) GHGs, accounting for 8.2% of total national GHG emissions and 2% of global emissions. According to the Third National Communication (TNC) Report, in 2010, GHG emissions from energy, industrial processes, agriculture, and waste accounted for 78.6%, 12.3%, 7.9%, and 1.2% of total emissions, respectively, (excluding emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF). Total GHG emissions from the waste sector in 2010 were 132 Mt CO2 eq, with municipal solid waste landfills accounting for 56 Mt. The average temperature in China has risen by 1.1°C over the last century (1908–2007), while nationally averaged precipitation amounts have increased significantly over the last 50 years. The sea level and sea surface temperature have risen by 90 mm and 0.9°C respectively in the last 30 years. A regional climate model predicted an annual mean temperature increase of 1.3–2.1°C by 2020 (2.3–3.3°C by 2050), while another model predicted a 1–1.6°C temperature increase and a 3.3–3.7 percent increase in precipitation between 2011 and 2020, depending on the emissions scenario. By 2030, sea level rise along coastal areas could be 0.01–0.16 meters, increasing the likelihood of flooding and intensified storm surges and causing the degradation of wetlands, mangroves, and coral reefs. Addressing climate change is a common human cause, and China places a high value on combating climate change. Climate change has been incorporated into national economic and social development plans, with equal emphasis on mitigation and adaptation to climate change, including an updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) in 2021. The following overarching targets are included in China's updated NDC: • Peaking carbon dioxide emissions “before 2030” and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060. • Lowering carbon intensity by “over 65%” by 2030 from the 2005 level. • Increasing forest stock volume by around 6 billion cubic meters in 2030 from the 2005 level. The targets have come from several commitments made at various events, while China has explained very well the process adopted to produce its third national communication report. An examination of China's NDC reveals that it has failed to establish quantifiable and measurable targets in the agricultural sectors. According to the analysis of the breakdown of food systems and their inclusion in the NDC, the majority of food system activities are poorly mentioned. China's interventions or ambitions in this sector have received very little attention. The adaptation component is mentioned in the NDC, but is not found to be sector-specific or comprehensive. A few studies have rated the Chinese NDC as insufficient, one of the reasons being its failure to list the breakdown of each sector's clear pathway to achieving its goals. China's NDC lacks quantified data on food system sub-sectors. Climate Action Trackers' "Insufficient" rating indicates that China's domestic target for 2030 requires significant improvements to be consistent with the Paris Agreement's target of 1.5°C temperature limit. Some efforts are being made: for example, scientists from the Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development in Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (IEDA-CAAS) have developed methods for calculating GHG emissions from livestock and poultry farmers that have been published as an industrial standard by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, PRC (Prof Hongmin Dong, personal communication) but this still needs to be consolidated and linked to China’s NDC. The updated Nationally Determined Contributions fall short of quantifiable targets in agriculture and food systems as a whole, necessitating clear pathways. China's NDC is found to be heavily focused on a few sectors, including energy, transportation, and urban-rural development. The agricultural sectors' and food systems' targets are vague, and China's agrifood system has a large carbon footprint. As a result, China should focus on managing the food system (production, processing, transportation, and food waste management) to reduce carbon emissions. Furthermore, China should take additional measures to make its climate actions more comprehensive, quantifiable, and measurable, such as setting ambitious and clear targets for the agriculture sector, including activity-specific GHG-reduction pathways; prioritizing food waste and loss reduction and management; promoting sustainable livestock production and low carbon diets; reducing chemical pollution; minimizing the use of fossil fuel in the agri-system and focusing on developing green jobs, technological advancement and promoting climate-smart agriculture; promoting indigenous practices and locally led adaptation; restoring degraded agricultural soils and enhancing cooperation and private partnership. China should also prepare detailed NDC implementation plans including actions and the GHG reduction from conditional targets.

Determinantes del comportamiento de queja del consumidor en México

Determinants of consumer complaint behavior in Mexico

IGNACIO JAVIER CRUZ RODRIGUEZ JAVIER GALAN FIGUEROA (2019, [Artículo])

El objetivo del trabajo es explicar los determinantes del comportamiento de queja del consumidor en los niveles socioeconómico y empresa. Para ello se acude a la metodología de datos de panel estático a fin de estimar el impacto de los determinantes de las quejas de los consumidores. Los resultados a nivel socioeconómico indican que las quejas se encuentran determinadas por el ingreso, las conciliaciones a favor de los consumidores y por la población residente en zonas urbanas. Mientras a nivel empresa los resultados muestran que tanto la cuota de mercado como el tamaño de la firma afectan positivamente las quejas. Se concluye que los resultados coinciden con la literatura revisada y que se puede esperar un aumento en el número de quejas presentadas por los consumidores.

This work aims to quantify the determinants of consumer complaint behavior in socioeconomic and business levels. For this purpose, the static panel data methodology is used in order to estimate the impact of consumer complaints both at the federal level of the Mexican Republic and at the level of the main companies that are considered leaders in their field. The results by the state indicate that the complaints are determined by income, reconciliations in favor of consumers and population residing in urban areas.While at the company level, the results show that both market share and company size positively affect consumer complaints. In conclusion, the results agree with the literature reviewed, and a rise in the number of complaints is possible.

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.

Efficiency of combating property violence in the Northwest region of Mexico

Martin Flegl Eva Selene Hernández Gress (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

The situation of violence in Mexico shows an alarming trend as the number of committed crimes increased by 10.9% in 2021 compared to 2020. In fact, 75.6% of the Mexican population perceives the insecurity. Due to the above, it is necessary to strengthen public security to combat this trend. However, the resources allocated to the public security in Mexico are limited. Although there are studies that investigate what causes the violence in Mexico, so far there is no study that measures the efficiency of combating the violence related to budgetary, human, and material resources of the public security. This article investigates the efficiency of combating the property violence in 206 municipalities in the Northwest region of Mexico through the Data Envelopment Analysis. The results show a low efficiency (56.67%) with significant differences between the states in the region. Baja California is the state with the lowest efficiency (17.61%), whereas the highest efficiency is found in Durango (67.25%). For the last, the need to carefully plan changes in the police force and the public security infrastructure was noted to improve the efficiency and the level of security.

Evaluación de la intrusión salina utilizando el método electromagnético transitorio (TEM) y análisis de iones mayores e isótopos estables del agua en el acuífero La Misión, B.C., México

Saline intrusion assessment using transient electromagnetic method (TEM) and analysis of major ions and stable isotopes of water in La Mision aquifer, B.C., Mexico

Yesica Guadalupe Cabrera Sillas (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

El acuífero La Misión constituye una fuente importante de abastecimiento de agua en la zona semiárida de Ensenada, Baja California, México. La explotación intensiva del acuífero puede haber desarrollado el deterioro de la calidad del agua subterránea, y con ello el avance del agua de mar. El presente estudio se centra en la evaluación de la posible intrusión salina en el acuífero costero La Misión a partir de técnicas geofísicas e hidrogeoquímicas. De acuerdo con investigaciones anteriores, se plantea la hipótesis de que el acuífero está afectado por procesos de mezcla de agua de mar principalmente en la franja costera. El estudio geofísico comprende 11 sondeos Transitorios Electromagnéticos (TEM). Además, se recolectaron 18 muestras de agua subterránea en temporada de secas y lluvias, donde se analizaron isótopos estables (δ18O y δ2H) y los principales iones mayores (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, HCO3, CO32- y SO42-). La inversión de datos geofísicos en 1D revela dos acuíferos en la zona de estudio; 1) el acuífero de depósitos de arena aluvial saturado superficial con un rango de resistividad de 2.1-5.5 Ωm y un espesor <80 m (UH2); 2) el segundo pertenece a un acuífero semiconfinado compuesto por limolitas y areniscas con resistividades de 13.8 a 21.4 Ωm (UH4). Los resultados hidroquímicos muestran que los principales tipos de aguas subterráneas son Ca-Cl, mixtas y Na-Cl. Además, las diversas relaciones iónicas confirmaron el proceso de intercambio iónico inverso donde el Ca2+ y el Mg2+ en la matriz del acuífero se han reemplazado por Na+ en sitios favorables. El cálculo del índice de saturación de minerales indica que las muestras de agua subterránea están saturadas con respecto a los minerales de carbonato. Por lo tanto, estos resultados sugieren que el acuífero costero La Misión está sujeto a la influencia continua de la mezcla de agua de mar, disolución de minerales carbonatados ayudado por la interacción agua-roca, y los procesos de intercambio iónico. Considerando que éstos son los factores determinantes que están controlando la evolución del agua subterránea en esta zona.

The Misión aquifer is an important source of water supply in the semi-arid zone of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. Intensive exploitation of the aquifer may have developed groundwater quality deterioration, and the advance of seawater. The present study focuses on the evaluation of possible saline intrusion in the coastal aquifer of La Misión, using geophysical and hydrogeochemical techniques. Based on previous research, it is hypothesized that the aquifer is affected by seawater mixing processes mainly in the coastal strip. The geophysical survey comprises 11 Transient Electromagnetic soundings (TEM). In addition, a total of 18 groundwater samples were collected in dry and post rainy season, where stable isotopes (δ18O and δ2H) and the main major ions (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and Cl-, HCO3-, CO32- and SO42-) were analyzed. One-dimensional inversion geophysical data reveals two aquifers in the study area. 1) the shallow saturated alluvial sand deposit aquifer with a resistivity range of 2.1-5.5 Ωm and a thickness <80 m (UH2). 2) the second belongs to a semi-confined aquifer composed of siltstones and sandstones with resistivities of 13.8 to 21.4 Ωm (UH4). Hydrochemical results show that the main groundwater types are Ca-Cl, mixed and Na-Cl. In addition, the various ionic ratios confirmed the reverse ion exchange process where Ca2+ and Mg2+ in the aquifer matrix have been replaced by Na+ at favorable sites. Calculation of the mineral saturation index indicates that the groundwater samples are saturated with respect to carbonate minerals. Therefore, these results suggest that the coastal Mission aquifer is subject to the continuous influence of seawater mix, dissolution of carbonate minerals aided by water-rock interaction, and ion exchange processes. Considering these processes, the important determining factors that are controlling the evolution of groundwater in this zone.
