Diseño de riego por melgas empleando las ecuaciones de Saint-Venant, y Green y Ampt

Heber Saucedo MANUEL ZAVALA TREJO CARLOS FUENTES RUIZ (2015, [Artículo])

Se presenta un método de diseño de riego por melgas basado en la aplicación de un modelo que emplea las ecuaciones de Saint-Venant, para describir el flujo del agua sobre el suelo, y la ecuación de Green y Ampt, para representar el flujo del agua en el suelo. La principal ventaja del modelo presentado es el poco tiempo de cómputo que requiere para su aplicación, en comparación con el necesario para ejecutar un modelo hidrodinámico completo reportado en la literatura, mismo que emplea las ecuaciones de Saint-Venant para el flujo del agua sobre el suelo, acopladas internamente con la ecuación de Richards, que permite modelar el flujo del agua en el suelo.

Solución en diferencias finitas de la ecuación de Boussinesq con porosidad drenable variable y condición de radiación fractal en la frontera

Finite difference solution of the Boussinesq equation with variable drainable porosity and fractal radiation boundary condition

El drenaje subterráneo es utilizado para eliminar excedentes de agua en la zona radical y suelos salinos para lixiviar las sales. La dinámica del agua es estudiada con la ecuación de Boussinesq, sus soluciones analíticas son obtenidas asumiendo que la transmisibilidad del acuífero y la porosidad de drenable son constantes y que la superficie libre se abate de manera instantánea sobre los drenes. La solución en el caso general requiere de soluciones numéricas. Se ha mostrado que la condición de frontera en los drenes es una condición de radiación fractal y la porosidad drenable es variable y relacionada con la curva de retención de humedad, y ha sido resuelta con el método del elemento finito, que en un esquema unidimensional puede hacerse equivalente al método de diferencias finitas. Aquí se propone una solución en diferencias finitas de la ecuación diferencial considerando la porosidad drenable variable y la condición de radiación fractal.

Following recent mimosoid phylogenetic and phylogenomic studies demonstrating the non-monophyly of the genus Albizia, we present a new molecular phylogeny focused on the neotropical species in the genus, with much denser taxon sampling than previous studies. Our aims were to test the monophyly of the neotropical section Arthrosamanea, resolve species relationships, and gain insights into the evolution of fruit morphology. We perform a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of sequences of nuclear internal and external transcribed spacer regions and trace the evolution of fruit dehiscence and lomentiform pods. Our results find further support for the non-monophyly of the genus Albizia, and confirm the previously proposed segregation of

Hesperalbizia, Hydrochorea, Balizia and Pseudosamanea. All species that were sampled from section Arthrosamanea form a clade that is sister to a clade composed of Jupunba, Punjuba, Balizia and Hydrochorea. We find that lomentiform fruits are independently derived from indehiscent septate fruits in both Hydrochorea and section Arthrosamanea. Our results show that morphological adaptations to hydrochory, associated with shifts into seasonally flooded habitats, have occurred several times independently in different geographic areas and different lineages within the ingoid clade. This suggests that environmental conditions have likely played a key role in the evolution of fruit types in Albizia and related genera. We resurrect the name Pseudalbizzia to accommodate the species of section Arthrosamanea, except for two species that were not sampled here but have been shown in other studies to be more closely related to other ingoid genera and we restrict the name Albizia s.s. to the species from Africa, Madagascar, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific. Twenty-one new nomenclatural combinations in Pseudalbizzia are proposed, including 16 species and 5 infraspecific varietal names. In addition to the type species Pseudalbizzia berteroana, the genus has 17 species distributed across tropical regions of the Americas, including the Caribbean. Finally, a new infrageneric classification into five sections is proposed and a distribution map of the species of Pseudalbizzia is presented.

Los productos sintéticos como nematicidas, fungicidas y fertilizantes empleados en la producción agrícola, contaminan suelo, agua y ocasionan daño a la salud de los productores y consumidores. Una alternativa al uso de estos agroquímicos son los microorganismos que habitan en el suelo, como los hongos del género Trichoderma, que promueven el crecimiento de cultivos y controlan enfermedades de plantas que se originan en la raíz, lo que favorece el cultivo agrícola libre de agroquímicos sintéticos. En esta nota se dan a conocer los modos de acción de Trichoderma y los avances de estudios realizados con cepas nativas del estado de Yucatán, para el control de patógenos en solanáceas.

Data for the synthesis, characterization, and use of xerogels as adsorbents for the removal of fluoride and bromide in aqueous phase

"Groundwater with high fluoride concentrations has been recognized as one of the serious concerns worldwide. Besides, the fluoride released into the groundwater by slow dissolution of fluoride-containing rocks, various industries also contribute to fluoride pollution [1]. Excess intake of fluoride leads to various health problems such as dental and skeletal fluorosis, cancer, infertility, brain damage, thyroid diseases, etc. [2]. On the other hand, bromide is naturally present in surface and groundwater sources. However, during the chlorination process, bromide can be oxidized to HOBr, which can react with natural organic matter in water to form brominated organic disinfection byproducts, which are very harmful to human health [3]. Among various methods for water treatment, the adsorption process has been widely used and seems to be an efficient and attractive method for the removal of many contaminants in water, such as anions, in terms of cost, simplicity of design, and operation [4,5]. In the past years, xerogels and carbon xerogels, a new type of adsorbents, which are synthesized by the sol-gel polycondensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde, have gained attention due to their moldable texture and chemical properties [6]. Moreover, melamine addition in resorcinol and formaldehyde xerogels adds basic groups on its surface, favouring Lewis acid-base interactions between xerogels and other components by adsorption [7]. In this data article, the synthesis of three resorcinolformaldehyde (R/F) xerogels with an increasing amount of melamine (M) was carried out by colloidal polymerization (molar ratios of M/R = 0.5, M/R = 1.0, and M/R = 2.0). Additionally, samples of M/R = 0.5 xerogel were carbonized at 400, 450, and 550 degrees C under an inert atmosphere to increase their specific area. Organic and carbon xerogels obtained were characterized by FTIR, TGA, SEM, Physisorption of N 2, and the pH at the point of zero charge (pH PZC). All organic xerogels were also tested as adsorbents on the removal of fluoride and bromide ions from aqueous phase. The Freundlich, Langmuir, and Radke-Prausnitz isotherm models were applied to interpret the experimental data from adsorption equilibrium. Additionally, the data of the mass of the xerogel needed to remove fluoride and bromide from groundwater and fulfill the maximum concentration levels are also included."

Agricultural emissions reduction potential by improving technical efficiency in crop production

Arun Khatri-Chhetri Tek Sapkota sofina maharjan Paresh Shirsath (2023, [Artículo])

CONTEXT: Global and national agricultural development policies normally tend to focus more on enhancing farm productivity through technological changes than on better use of existing technologies. The role of improving technical efficiency in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction from crop production is the least explored area in the agricultural sector. But improving technical efficiency is necessary in the context of the limited availability of existing natural resources (particularly land and water) and the need for GHG emission reduction from the agriculture sector. Technical efficiency gains in the production process are linked with the amount of input used nd the cost of production that determines both economic and environmental gains from the better use of existing technologies. OBJECTIVE: To assess a relationship between technical efficiency and GHG emissions and test the hypothesis that improving technical efficiency reduces GHG emissions from crop production. METHODS: This study used input-output data collected from 10,689 rice farms and 5220 wheat farms across India to estimate technical efficiency, global warming potential, and emission intensity (GHG emissions per unit of crop production) under the existing crop production practices. The GHG emissions from rice and wheat production were estimated using the CCAFS Mitigation Options Tool (CCAFS-MOT) and the technical efficiency of production was estimated through a stochastic production frontier analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that improving technical efficiency in crop production can reduce emission intensity but not necessarily total emissions. Moreover, our analysis does not support smallholders tend to be technically less efficient and the emissions per unit of food produced by smallholders can be relatively high. Alarge proportion of smallholders have high technical efficiency, less total GHG emissions, and low emissions intensity. This study indicates the levels of technical efficiency and GHG emission are largely influenced by farming typology, i.e. choice and use of existing technologies and management practices in crop cultivation. SIGNIFICANCE: This study will help to promote existing improved technologies targeting GHG emissions reduction from the agriculture production systems.
