Consideraciones sísmicas en el diseño de tuberías

JOSE RAUL FLORES BERRONES (1999, [Artículo])

Se hace una revisión de la forma como se ha considerado el efecto de las vibraciones sísmicas en el comportamiento de las tuberías enterradas, para fines de diseño. La revisión comprende fundamentalmente la práctica recomendada en Japón y en los Estados Unidos, ya que es en esos países donde mayor investigación, aplicación y registros de campo existen sobre el tema. Se presentan primeramente los factores que influyen en las fuerzas ejercidas a lo largo de la superficie donde interactúa el suelo con la tubería; en particular, se considera la respuesta de una tubería al movimiento del suelo causado por las ondas sísmicas, tanto para el caso de las tuberías continuas como para el de las tuberías segmentadas. Se presenta un procedimiento que muestra paso a paso la manera como se estiman las deformaciones unitarias en las tuberías continuas y su comparación con las deformaciones permisibles. Para el caso de las tuberías segmentadas, se presentan un método simplificado y un procedimiento más sofisticado utilizando el método del elemento finito; este último permite determinar, además de los esfuerzos y deformaciones correspondientes a cada tubo, las expansiones o contracciones de cada junta. Finalmente, se dan las conclusiones y recomendaciones más relevantes en relación con este tema.

Desarrollo y evaluación de un modelo de la onda cinemática aplicado al riego en melgas y su comparación con el modelo hidrológico

Development and evaluation of a kinematic wave model applied to border irrigation and comparison with the hydrologic model

Juan Manuel Angeles LUIS RENDON PIMENTEL OSCAR LUIS PALACIOS VELEZ RAFAEL ACOSTA HERNANDEZ (1998, [Artículo])

Durante la aplicación del agua de riego a los cultivos, en ciertos casos el agua debe suspenderse antes de que el frente de avance llegue al final de la melga, para así logar una mejor eficiencia de aplicación. Esta situación del escurrimiento superficial se presenta bien con la ecuación de la onda cinemática, que consiste en la simplificación de loas ecuaciones de Saint Venant. Se diseñó un programa de computadora que resuelve numéricamente la ecuación de la onda cinemática. El transporte del agua en el suelo se representó con la ecuación de infiltración propuesta por Green y Ampt. El modelo fue calibrado y evaluado con respecto a resultados de pruebas de riego aplicadas en un cultivo de trigo (Triticum aestivum L.) En la evaluación del modelo se obtuvo un cuadrado medio del error (CME) de 1.24 minutos para la fase de avance y de 0.68 para la recesión. Al comparar el modelo hidrológico con los datos de campo, el CME fue de 0.86 y de 1.04 minutos para el modelo de la onda cinemática y el hidrológico, respectivamente.

Current variability by wave propagation in Todos Santos Bay, Baja California

Variabilidad de corrientes por propagación de ondas en bahía Todos Santos, Baja California, México

EFRAIN MATEOS FARFAN SILVIO GUIDO LORENZO MARINONE MOSCHETTO (2017, [Artículo])

The temperature, velocity, and sea level fields for a summer climatological month (August) were analyzed using tridimensional and baroclinic model outputs in Todos Santos Bay (TSB), Baja California, Mexico. The numerical model was forced with wind (nonstationary), heat flux, and California Current System climatology on the open boundary. The 3- to 5-day current variability is related to a baroclinic wave traveling towards the northwest of the bay. Wave travel periodicity was due to the release of accumulated water from the Ensenada–Punta Banda Estuary (E–PBE) region. Local wind stress causes southeastward water flow and, given the TSB geometry, water accumulates in the E–PBE region. Weakening wind stress was the main cause of water release. In addition, complex empirical ortogonal function analysis found that outer TSB disturbances cause sea level variability.

Addressing agricultural labour issues is key to biodiversity-smart farming

Thomas Daum Frédéric Baudron Matin Qaim Ingo Grass (2023, [Artículo])

There is an urgent need for agricultural development strategies that reconcile agricultural production and biodiversity conservation. This is especially true in the Global South where population growth is rapid and much of the world's remaining biodiversity is located. Combining conceptual thoughts with empirical insights from case studies in Indonesia and Ethiopia, we argue that such strategies will have to pay more attention to agricultural labour dynamics. Farmers have a strong motivation to reduce the heavy toil associated with farming by adopting technologies that save labour but can negatively affect biodiversity. Labour constraints can also prevent farmers from adopting technologies that improve biodiversity but increase labour intensity. Without explicitly accounting for labour issues, conservation efforts can hardly be successful. We hence highlight the need for biodiversity-smart agriculture, that is farming practices or systems that reconcile biodiversity with land and labour productivity. Our empirical insights suggest that technological and institutional options to reconcile farmers' socio-economic goals and biodiversity conservation exist but that more needs to be done to implement such options at scale.

Modular ontology to support manufacturing SMEs toward industry 4.0

ZAIDA ANTONIETA MORA ALVAREZ OSCAR HERNANDEZ URIBE RAMON ALBERTO LUQUE MORALES LEONOR ADRIANA CARDENAS ROBLEDO (2023, [Artículo])

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) implementation is a hot topic among manufacturing organizations to reach smart factory status and integrate a fully connected ecosystem. Achieving such a transition presents notable challenges for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) since they often face resource and skilled personnel limitations. This study developed a domain ontology to represent various stages of maturity toward I4.0 implementation. Ontology provides a tool for SMEs to self-assess in situations of machines, processes, and factories for the dimensions of control, integration, and intelligence. This study focused on the identification of classes and relationships according to I4.0 implementation situations in the context of a manufacturing setting, the reuse of ontologies related to the domain of observations to model situations, and the creation and validation of the ontology through the information obtained from the questionnaires applied to SMEs. Finally, the ontology delivers a tool to understand SMEs' current state concerning I4.0 implementation and plan based on informed decisions about the maturity state and the technology required to advance to the next stage in their manufacturing processes.

Economics of crop residue management

Vijesh Krishna Maxwell Mkondiwa (2023, [Artículo])

More than five billion metric tons of agricultural residues are produced annually worldwide. Despite having multiple uses and significant potential to augment crop and livestock production, a large share of crop residues is burned, especially in Asian countries. This unsustainable practice causes tremendous air pollution and health hazards while restricting soil nutrient recycling. In this review, we examine the economic rationale for unsustainable residue management. The sustainability of residue utilization is determined by several economic factors, such as local demand for and quantity of residue production, development and dissemination of technologies to absorb excess residue, and market and policy instruments to internalize the social costs of residue burning. The intervention strategy to ensure sustainable residue management depends on public awareness of the private and societal costs of open residue burning.

Movements of scalloped hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) at Cocos Island, Costa Rica and between oceanic islands in the Eastern Tropical Pacific

Elena Nalesso (2019, [Artículo])

Many species of sharks form aggregations around oceanic islands, yet their levels of residency and their site specificity around these islands may vary. In some cases, the waters around oceanic islands have been designated as marine protected areas, yet the conservation value for threatened shark species will depend greatly on how much time they spend within these protected waters. Eighty-four scalloped hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini Griffith & Smith), were tagged with acoustic transmitters at Cocos Island between 2005–2013. The average residence index, expressed as a proportion of days present in our receiver array at the island over the entire monitoring period, was 0.52±0.31, implying that overall the sharks are strongly associated with the island. Residency was significantly greater at Alcyone, a shallow seamount located 3.6 km offshore from the main island, than at the other sites. Timing of presence at the receiver locations was mostly during daytime hours. Although only a single individual from Cocos was detected on a region-wide array, nine hammerheads tagged at Galapagos and Malpelo travelled to Cocos. The hammerheads tagged at Cocos were more resident than those visiting from elsewhere, suggesting that the Galapagos and Malpelo populations may use Cocos as a navigational waypoint or stopover during seasonal migrations to the coastal Central and South America. Our study demonstrates the importance of oceanic islands for this species, and shows that they may form a network of hotspots in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. © 2019 Nalesso et al.
