En años recientes se ha observado que los modelos matemáticos basados en las ecuaciones completas de Navier-Stokes representan adecuadamente la ventilación en invernaderos y ofrecen información detallada de la distribución espacial de la masa de aire; sin embargo, resulta muy costosa la adquisición de los permisos de uso de los paquetes de cómputo comerciales por lo que es necesario investigar sobre modelos simplificados con el fin de reducir los costos de los estudios. En este trabajo se simuló la circulación de aire en un invernadero tipo Venlo en diferentes condiciones de ventilación, mediante dos modelos: uno de ellos considera las ecuaciones completas de Navier-Stokes, y el otro resuelve un modelo simplificado de Navier-Stokes en el que no se considera la aceleración convectiva en la ecuación de cantidad de movimiento.

Bundling subsurface drip irrigation with no-till provides a window to integrate mung bean with intensive cereal systems for improving resource use efficiency

Manish Kakraliya madhu choudhary Mahesh Gathala Parbodh Chander Sharma ML JAT (2024, [Artículo])

The future of South Asia’s major production system (rice–wheat rotation) is at stake due to continuously aggravating pressure on groundwater aquifers and other natural resources which will further intensify with climate change. Traditional practices, conventional tillage (CT) residue burning, and indiscriminate use of groundwater with flood irrigation are the major drivers of the non-sustainability of rice–wheat (RW) system in northwest (NW) India. For designing sustainable practices in intensive cereal systems, we conducted a study on bundled practices (zero tillage, residue mulch, precise irrigation, and mung bean integration) based on multi-indicator (system productivity, profitability, and efficiency of water, nitrogen, and energy) analysis in RW system. The study showed that bundling conservation agriculture (CA) practices with subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) saved ~70 and 45% (3-year mean) of irrigation water in rice and wheat, respectively, compared to farmers’ practice/CT practice (pooled data of Sc1 and Sc2; 1,035 and 318 mm ha−1). On a 3-year system basis, CA with SDI scenarios (mean of Sc5–Sc8) saved 35.4% irrigation water under RW systems compared to their respective CA with flood irrigation (FI) scenarios (mean of Sc3 and Sc4) during the investigation irrespective of residue management. CA with FI system increased the water productivity (WPi) and its use efficiency (WUE) by ~52 and 12.3% (3-year mean), whereas SDI improved by 221.2 and 39.2% compared to farmers practice (Sc1; 0.69 kg grain m−3 and 21.39 kg grain ha−1 cm−1), respectively. Based on the 3-year mean, CA with SDI (mean of Sc5–Sc8) recorded −2.5% rice yield, whereas wheat yield was +25% compared to farmers practice (Sc1; 5.44 and 3.79 Mg ha−1) and rice and wheat yield under CA with flood irrigation were increased by +7 and + 11%, compared to their respective CT practices. Mung bean integration in Sc7 and Sc8 contributed to ~26% in crop productivity and profitability compared to farmers’ practice (Sc1) as SDI facilitated advancing the sowing time by 1 week. On a system basis, CA with SDI improved energy use efficiency (EUE) by ~70% and partial factor productivity of N by 18.4% compared to CT practices. In the RW system of NW India, CA with SDI for precise water and N management proved to be a profitable solution to address the problems of groundwater, residue burning, sustainable intensification, and input (water and energy) use with the potential for replication in large areas in NW India.

Análisis cuantitativo con diagrama de precedencias de condiciones productivas actuales de 5 líneas de ensamble de amortiguadores mediante el método de balanceo peso posicional

José Humberto Vergara García (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

En este trabajo de investigación se empleó el método de Helgeson & Birnie para realizar el balanceo por peso posicional de cinco líneas de ensamble modular de amortiguadores de la empresa ZF Suspension Technology Guadalajara S.A. de C.V. La metodología empleada permitió establecer las condiciones actuales de operación de las cinco líneas. Mediante el uso del método mencionado se encontró que en la mayoría de las líneas de ensamble analizadas sus tareas se encuentran correctamente balanceadas y ordenadas, corroborando así el buen trabajo realizado al momento de su instalación y puesta en marcha. Si bien en cualquier proceso de ensamble siempre hay oportunidades de mejora, contar con líneas de ensamble bien balanceadas permite a la empresa tener una base sólida para la producción de este tipo de componentes automotrices.

The Helgeson & Birnie method was employed in this research for balancing, by positional weight, five modular strut assembly production lines at ZF Suspension Technology Guadalajara S.A. De C.V. The proposed methodology allowed to know the current operating conditions of the production lines. It was found that most of the analyzed production lines are correctly balanced suggesting a correct commissioning and start up procedure performed when the lines were initially installed. Although every assembling line always can be improved, having well-balanced assembly lines provides a solid base line for any automotive manufacturing company.

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.

Diseño de productos vs. diseño de conceptos (una nueva perspectiva del diseño industrial basada en innovación)

José Humberto Jacobo Solís (2023, [Capítulo de libro])

Este trabajo tiene por objetivo presentar una visión alternativa para el diseño industrial, la cual se centra en el desarrollo de conceptos de negocio en lugar de únicamente centrarse en el desarrollo de productos. Asimismo, esta visión intenta romper con ciertos paradigmas que se enfocan en el rechazo hacia a la innovación y hacia la comercialización de los conceptos resultantes del proceso de diseño, a través de la exposición de las posturas de diversos autores quienes consideran que la innovación es el camino para lograr enfrentar los grandes desafíos sociales y ambientales que aquejan a la sociedad actual. Finalmente, este documento presenta únicamente las bases para la realización de un trabajo de investigación mucho más profundo, el cual permita darle mayor validez a la idea central de que el diseño debe evolucionar de una disciplina enfocada en el desarrollo de productos hacia una enfocada en el desarrollo de conceptos de negocio.

This work aims to present an alternative vision for industrial design, which focuses on the development of business concepts instead of only focusing on product development. Likewise, this vision tries to break with certain paradigms that focus on the rejection of innovation and the commercialization of the concepts resulting from the design process, through the exposition of the positions of various authors who consider that innovation is the way to face the great social and environmental challenges that afflict today’s society. Finally, this document only presents the bases for carrying out a much deeper research work, which allows giving greater validity to the central idea that design must evolve from a discipline focused on product development to one focused on the development of business concepts.

Systematic Literature Review on Smart Specialization: Future Prospects and Opportunities

Beatriz Rosas Michael Demmler (2023, [Artículo])

"Smart specialisation (SS) has been the new cohesion policy in the European Union during the last two periods. The present study aims to analyse the most relevant existing state-of-the-art literature on smart specialisation through a systematic and bibliometric review. Using the Web of Science bibliographic database, we analysed the content of 207 articles under the TCCM methodology and constructed a network of citations in order to summarize theories, characteristics, context and methods presented in existing studies on the topic. Our results show the theoretical and methodological gaps of the past, such as Entrepreneurial Discovery Process and SS indicators. These remain to the present day. The context analysis showed that the scope of smart specialisation extended beyond the frontiers of the European Union, given how it has been adopted by other countries as well. These results suggest the importance of developing a more robust theoretical, conceptual and methodological framework. Consequently, the guides need to be more accurate and should be continuously updated. Our results are valuable for the EDP actors and have policymaking implications".

Caracterización de un sistema constructivo de bajo impacto ambiental para viviendas destinadas a poblaciones vulnerables

Alma Luisa (2022, [Tesis de maestría])

418 páginas. Maestría en Diseño Bioclimático.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo mostrar los beneficios y la decisión de elegir un Sistema Constructivo de Bajo Impacto Ambiental para Viviendas destinadas a Poblaciones Vulnerables, como primera opción en las construcciones de viviendas, hablando de manera general en México. De manera particular este trabajo se desarrolló en el caso de estudio específico, en la Alcaldía Xochimilco, en el pueblo de Santa Cruz Acalpixca, en donde se realizaron diversos estudios de la tierra más adecuada, al igual que diversos tipos de test, para conocer las propiedades de la tierra y así poder desarrollar con este estudio de investigación de los elementos el proceso de construcción de una Vivienda de 67.24 m₂, la cual se está planeando efectuar. A su vez se realizaron los estudios pertinentes, los cuales muestran que la vivienda es segura y está garantizada su habitabilidad, para ejecutar la construcción de este proyecto. Durante los proyectos de construcción de Sistemas Constructivos convencionales, se realizan grandes procesos de inversión en la obtención de los materiales que proporcionen las características necesarias de resistencia y soporte para las estructuras de la edificación. A su vez la obtención de estos materiales, es la actividad que puede generar mayor cantidad de impactos adversos al ambiente y a la calidad de vida de las personas. Por ello uno de los principios de la construcción sostenible es la implementación de materiales amigables con el ambiente, con larga vida útil y que para su manipulación se requiere un consumo de energía menor que lo necesario para el manejo de los materiales convencionales. Derivado de este documento tenemos como primicia, la contribución de los beneficios de la construcción sostenible, comparados con la construcción tradicional que se ha venido implementando en la sociedad actual. El presente documento se enfocará en la selección del Sistema constructivo con sus materiales y los costos relacionados al hacer uso de ellos, los impactos ocasionados en cada una de las etapas del proyecto y el costo-beneficio que genera la construcción tradicional y la aplicación de la sostenibilidad en la misma.

This work aims to present the benefits and the decision to choose a Low Environmental Impact Construction System for Housing for Vulnerable Populations, as the first option in housing construction, generally speaking in Mexico. In particular, this work was developed in the specific case study, in the Xochimilco Mayor's Office, in the town of Santa Cruz Acalpixca, where various studies of the most suitable land were carried out, as well as various types of tests, to know the properties of the land and thus be able to develop with this research study of the elements the construction process of a House of 67.24 m₂, which is being planned. At the same time, the pertinent studies were carried out, which show that the house is safe and its habitability is guaranteed, to execute the construction of this project. During the construction projects of conventional Construction Systems, large investment processes are made in obtaining the materials that provide the necessary characteristics of resistance and support for the building structures. In turn, obtaining these materials is the activity that can generate the greatest number of adverse impacts on the environment and on people's quality of life. For this reason, one of the principles of sustainable construction is the implementation of environmentally friendly materials, with a long useful life and that require less energy consumption for their handling than is necessary for the handling of conventional materials. Derived from this document we have as a first, the contribution of the benefits of sustainable construction, compared to traditional construction that has been implemented in today's society. This document will focus on the selection of the construction system with its materials and the costs related to making use of them, the impacts caused in each of the stages of the project and the cost-benefit generated by traditional construction and the application of technology. sustainability in it.
