Introduction: Conservation agriculture (CA) is gaining attention in the South Asia as an environmentally benign and sustainable food production system. The knowledge of the soil bacterial community composition along with other soil properties is essential for evaluating the CA-based management practices for achieving the soil environment sustainability and climate resilience in the rice-wheat-greengram system. The long-term effects of CA-based tillage-cum-crop establishment (TCE) methods on earthworm population, soil parameters as well as microbial diversity have not been well studied. Methods: Seven treatments (or scenarios) were laid down with the various tillage (wet, dry, or zero-tillage), establishment method (direct-or drill-seeding or transplantation) and residue management practices (mixed with the soil or kept on the soil surface). The soil samples were collected after 7 years of experimentation and analyzed for the soil quality and bacterial diversity to examine the effect of tillage-cum-crop establishment methods. Results and Discussion: Earthworm population (3.6 times), soil organic carbon (11.94%), macro (NPK) (14.50–23.57%) and micronutrients (Mn, and Cu) (13.25 and 29.57%) contents were appreciably higher under CA-based TCE methods than tillage-intensive farming practices. Significantly higher number of OTUs (1,192 ± 50) and Chao1 (1415.65 ± 14.34) values were observed in partial CA-based production system (p ≤ 0.05). Forty-two (42) bacterial phyla were identified across the scenarios, and Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Firmicutes were the most dominant in all the scenarios. The CA-based scenarios harbor a high abundance of Proteobacteria (2–13%), whereas the conventional tillage-based scenarios were dominated by the bacterial phyla Acidobacteria and Chloroflexi and found statistically differed among the scenarios (p ≤ 0.05). Composition of the major phyla, i.e., Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Firmicutes were associated differently with either CA or farmers-based tillage management practices. Overall, the present study indicates the importance of CA-based tillage-cum-crop establishment methods in shaping the bacterial diversity, earthworms population, soil organic carbon, and plant nutrient availability, which are crucial for sustainable agricultural production and resilience in agro-ecosystem.

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.

Comportamiento elástico de la madera. Teoría y aplicaciones

The Thesis "Elastic behavior of wood. Theory and applications "is a contribution to the study of wood, modeled and analyzed, as a solid elastic, macroscopically homogeneous, with properties of a continuous medium and with orthoptic elastic and material symmetries. In the scientific and technological literature related to the mechanical characterization of wood, the current paradigm is to use, for purposes of conceptual analysis and research, a general theoretical model that explains the elastic behavior of wood. In Mexico, particularly in the context of Wood Technology Science and Engineering, there is no theoretical proposal, adapted to the conditions of the country that substantiates the results of research in this field. Likewise, it is difficult to locally identify a relevant proposal that explains the applications derived from the study of elastic behavior of wood. On the other hand, technological information on the mechanical response of wood of Mexican species lacks a theoretical, numerical and experimental conceptual framework that gives coherence to the data on the elastic characteristics of the national woods. From the above, it follows that research in Wood Science and the practice of Wood Technology Engineering require a Model that explains the elastic behavior of ligno-cellulosic matter. They also require useful experimental data in the design of structures and wood products. This problem can be seen from two perspectives: Scientific problem: The study of the elastic behavior of Mexican timber cannot be verified by the lack of an appropriate theoretical model. Technological and industrial problem: The design of structures and wood products in Mexico is deficient among other reasons, due to the lack of Engineering parameters and technological data to assure the reliability of the wood buildings and to improve the development of new products.

La Tesis “Comportamiento elástico de la madera. Teoría y aplicaciones” es una contribución al estudio de la madera, modelada y analizada, ésta como un sólido elástico, macroscópicamente homogéneo, con propiedades de un medio continuo y con simetrías materiales y elásticas ortotrópicas. En la literatura científica y tecnológica relacionada con la caracterización mecánica de la madera, el paradigma actual es emplear, para fines de análisis conceptual y de investigación, un Modelo teórico general que explique el comportamiento elástico de la madera. En México, particularmente en el contexto de Ciencias Tecnología e Ingeniería de la Madera, no existe una propuesta teórica, adaptada a las condiciones del País, que fundamente los resultados de investigación en este campo. Igualmente, es difícil identificar localmente una propuesta pertinente que explique las aplicaciones derivadas del estudio del comportamiento elástico de la madera. Por otra parte, la información tecnológica sobre la respuesta mecánica de la madera de especies mexicanas, carece de un marco conceptual teórico, numérico y experimental que dé coherencia a los datos sobre las características elásticas de las maderas nacionales. De lo anteriormente expuesto, se desprende que la investigación en Ciencias de la Madera y la práctica de la Ingeniería en Tecnología de la Madera, requieren de un Modelo que explique el comportamiento elástico de la materia ligno-celulósica. Igualmente, requieren datos experimentales útiles en el diseño de estructuras y productos de madera. Esta problemática se puede visualizar desde dos perspectivas: Problema científico: El estudio del comportamiento elástico de maderas mexicanas no puede ser verificable por la carencia de un Modelo teórico apropiado. Problema tecnológico e industrial: El diseño de estructuras y productos de madera en México es deficiente entre otras causas, por la falta de parámetros de Ingeniería y de datos tecnológicos para asegurar la confiabilidad de las edificaciones de madera y mejorar el desarrollo de nuevos productos.

There is speculation about moon phases influencing animal reproductive performance. A study was carried out to shed light on the influence of moon phases on estrus presentation, pregnancy rate, calving presentation, and offspring sex in cows from the Mexican dry tropical region. The reproductive data of 580 crossbred cows from 2010 to 2021 was organized according to reproductive events (estrus presentation, gestation, calving presentation, and offspring sex) occurrence during moon phases (new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter). The data were analyzed by Chi-squared test and logistic regression. The full moon reduced the estrus presentation (p0.05). It is concluded that the full moon reduces estrus presentation in crossbred cows. Moon phases do not influence the gestation, calving presentation, and offspring sex.
