Condiciones para modelar el riego por gravedad con propiedades hidrodinámicas equivalentes del suelo

Conditions for modeling surface irrigation with effective soil hydraulic properties

FELIPE ZATARAIN MENDOZA CARLOS FUENTES RUIZ LUIS RENDON PIMENTEL (2016, [Artículo])

Para diseñar el riego por gravedad es común hacer mediciones durante un evento de riego y deducir valores promedio o efectivos de la infiltración. Pero, la variabilidad espacial de los suelos puede ser de tal magnitud que la representatividad de estos valores puede cuestionarse. La hipótesis de este estudio fue que utilizar los valores efectivos de las propiedades hidrodinámicas del suelo es válido en ciertas condiciones de riego por gravedad. El objetivo fue analizar esas propiedades, con base en información experimental de infiltración y avance del riego en melgas, a través de la generación de campos correlacionados de la conductividad hidráulica con un método fundamentado en el análisis espectral.

"Invertebrates' immune defense mechanisms play a critical role in pathogen recognition and elimination. De novo assembly and annotation of the Argopecten ventricosus transcriptome were performed for the immune-related gene identification. Scallops (height: 4.4 cm) were challenged with inactivated Vibrio parahaemolyticus IPNGS16. The RNA from different tissues was pooled for a single cDNA library construction sequenced by NextSeq 500 platform 2×75 paired‐end chemistry. Before de novo assembling with Trinity, reads were analyzed with FastQC, Trimmomatic, and Prinseq. Assembled sequences were analyzed by CD-HIT-EST and TransDecoder. The corresponding annotation was performed against NCBI-nr, RefSeq protein, and KAAS (KEGG) databases. The Trinity assembly yielded 107,516 contigs. TransDecoder yielded 25,285 sequences as CDSs of which, 16,123 were annotated against the NCBI-nr protein, most of them scored with Crassostrea gigas data. Gene ontology mapped sequences (15,262) were classified in molecular functions (~13,000), cellular components (~11,000), and biological processes (~13,000). The KAAS analysis showed biological categories for metabolism (13%), cellular processes (12%), genetic information processing (10%), organismal systems (19%), environmental information (13%), and human diseases (33 %). Within the organismal systems, 467 immune-related genes (KO) were identified. Sixty-four immune-related genes were annotated/blasted against the NCBI-nr and RefSeq protein databases. An RT-qPCR was performed to analyze the expression level of immune-related genes obtained in the transcriptome analysis in scallops (height 4.5 cm) treated with probiotic bacilli added to culture water. Bacilli significantly increased the expression of the HSP70 and PGRP genes. The gene transcripts analysis of A. ventricosus will better understand its immune response against pathogens in culture systems."

Recuperación de fósforo con hidróxido de doble capa, para la protección de cuerpos de agua: 2a. etapa

Anne M. Hansen LUIS ANGEL CUETO BRAVO (2016, [Documento de trabajo])

Uno de los problemas más importantes de contaminación de embalses y lagos, es el enriquecimiento progresivo de nutrientes (fundamentalmente nitrógeno y fósforo) o eutroficación. Esta problemática se manifiesta en la proliferación y acumulación de algas y plantas acuáticas originando el deterioro de la calidad de agua. El desarrollo de este proyecto se plantea para tres años. Esta es la segunda etapa del proyecto y los objetivos establecidos para esta etapa son: 1) Recopilar y analizar información sobre la composición de agua tratada, que actualmente se descarga a los cuerpos de agua y que proviene de diferentes actividades, donde se encuentra fósforo en elevadas concentraciones y se ha consumido la mayor parte de la materia orgánica; y 2) Realizar experimentos y modelación numérica simulando el efecto de estos parámetros: iones mayores pH, Eh y contenido de materia orgánica, tanto individualmente como combinados, en el proceso.

Reubicación de enjambres de abejas de Apis mellifera en zonas urbanas y periurbanas

JOSÉ CHAVIER DE ARAUJO FREITAS (2023, [Artículo])

Hoy día podemos encontrar poblaciones silvestres de Apis mellifera de origen africanizado en todo el país, siendo además la abeja que la mayoría de los apicultores tienen en sus apiarios. Estas abejas africanizadas tuvieron su origen en un proceso de hibridación entre abejas africanizadas y europeas que ocurrió en México, pero que tuvo su origen en Brasil. Estos enjambres en zonas urbanas son un riesgo para la salud pública, ya que su presencia puede ocasionar accidentes y víctimas fatales, por lo cual es necesario saber qué hacer cuando se está ante la presencia de ellos.

Can I speak to the manager? The gender dynamics of decision-making in Kenyan maize plots

Rachel Voss Zachary Gitonga Jason Donovan Mariana Garcia-Medina Pauline Muindi (2023, [Artículo])

Gender and social inclusion efforts in agricultural development are focused on making uptake of agricultural technologies more equitable. Yet research looking at how gender relations influence technology uptake often assumes that men and women within a household make farm management decisions as individuals. Relatively little is understood about the dynamics of agricultural decision-making within dual-adult households where individuals’ management choices are likely influenced by others in the household. This study used vignettes to examine decision-making related to maize plot management in 698 dual-adult households in rural Kenya. The results indicated a high degree of joint management of maize plots (55%), although some management decisions—notably those related to purchased inputs—were slightly more likely to be controlled by men, while other decisions—including those related to hiring of labor and maize end uses—were more likely to be made by women. The prevalence of joint decision-making underscores the importance of ensuring that both men’s and women’s priorities and needs are reflected in design and marketing of interventions to support maize production, including those related to seed systems, farmer capacity building, and input delivery.

LGBT+ media on the Internet: experiences of communication and information in Mexico

RAUL ANTHONY OLMEDO NERI (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Two digital LGBT+ media in Mexico are analyzed to understand the implications of their operation and their articulation with the informational and social needs of sex-gender populations. It starts from the communicational perspective to conceptualize these projects as exercises in technological appropriation but highlighting their empirical intersections with other analytical frameworks. Through the method of systematizing the experience, the trajectories of ANODIS and Seis Franjas Mx have been recovered; through semi-structured interviews conducted with their co-founders in February 2022, the reasons, horizons and challenges that these projects have faced are analyzed. The results show that the lack of LGBT+ content and representations in the media motivate the creation of these projects, which articulate a sense of collaboration and sociality with other users belonging to sex-gender communities. In addition, the people participating in these projects are part of the LGBT+ populations, becoming them producers and consumers of information that claim the gender-identity dimension in the content. Likewise, these initiatives are specified in the youth stage of their co-founders, which refers to rethinking the role of LGBT+ youth in the new forms of activism and socialization mediated by Internet. Finally, given the progressive formation of this area of ​​knowledge and the lack of consensus on its definition, it is proposed to name this interdisciplinary field of study as LGBT+ Communicational Studies, to show an epistemological perspective from communication and a Latin American ontological position.

Habitability conditions for floods: the case of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, Mexico

MARCELINO GARCIA BENITEZ Saul Nucamendi Hernandez Omar Ávila Flores (2022, [Artículo, Artículo])

At present, there are changes in the environment that favor the presence of extreme climatic phenomena such as floods, this exposure implies that the populations of urban areas suffer effects on their material assets, which limits their capacity for individual and / or family development. Given the lack of local territorial planning, the establishment of colonies was allowed on the banks of the Sabinal river and its tributaries that present episodes of flooding during the rainy season (Sistema Municipal de Protección Civil, 2015).

 

The study evaluates the habitability conditions of the urban population exposed to flooding, the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas is taken as a reference, since historically it is a recurring problem during the summer. The methodology interrelates geostatistical, spatial and cartographic databases with hemerographic information sources based on the review of the literature for the construction of the general index, determined in dimensions that group social, economic, educational aspects, availability of basic services, goods with those that count the dwellings and their accessibility, etc., on a geographical scale of Urban Geostatistical Areas (AGEB).

 

The results obtained generated an index on the distribution of habitability conditions by urban Ageb, they are interrelated with spatial data on floods and their relationship with Sustainable Development Goal 11 (ODS), which proposes to improve infrastructure conditions in cities and towns. sustainable communities so that the inequality originated among the population exposed to future extreme flood events that occur in the different areas that make up the city is reduced.
