    Hydraulic structures such as spillways or weirs with their water-air controlling mechanisms are not only important for their structural properties but also for their effects on downstream ecology. Tailwater depth is an important factor affecting dissolved oxygen transfer and aeration rates of spillways. In this study, effects of tailwater depths and discharge values on the aeration efficiencies of laboratory-model smooth and stepped spillways were investigated. Changes of tailwater depths affect the dissolved oxygen transfer rates and aeration efficiencies are affected more than 100%, resulting in supersaturated dissolved oxygen concentrations. Tailwater depth is a significant parameter in the design of the spillway and the stilling basin of dams. Therefore, this value should be estimated correctly

    Heavy metal contamination is an important environmental problem all over the world. High concentrations of heavy metals cause permanent damage stocells and tissues. In this study, the toxic effects of zincheavy metal in sunflower plant in population and molecular parameters were investigated. The effects of zincheavymetalon sunflower seedlings were determined using the changes in population parameters; rootlength, dry weight, and total solubleprotein content. Total protein content of sunflower plants was determined in a relationship in the opposite direction increasing the amount of metal concentrations. Genotoxic effects of heavymetal of zinc on sunflower plants were revealed by using changes in genomic template stability (GTS). According to analyses, serious changes in genomic template stability were detected and these results were compared with the growth, dry weight and total soluble protein content of the seedlings grown at various zinc concentrations. Also, it was seen that the genomic template stability significantly affected the primary root length, root dry weight and root total soluble protein content. Positive correlations were observed between physiological, biochemical and molecular parameters in sunflower seedlings under zinc stress.In conclusion, a comparison between physiological, biochemical and molecular parameters shows that zinc is a genotoxic agent for sunflower plants

    Los nuevos aprendizajes del sujeto digital

    If we had to quickly trace the evolution of exchanges between information technology and education we should distinguish at least three phases: pioneering experiences, integration and manipulation of digital resources and virtualization. However, this process of appropriation has also been maturing and therefore motivated to reflect on their own teaching practices, pointing limits and possibilities. Today, we are witnessing the entry into another stage of that evolutionary path that could be termed as “post-digital”. Here they are, then, issues that challenge not only the way to educate (comprehensive didactics of knowledge) but also interpret the formation of new cultural habits whose exercise does not recognize mediations or eliminates instances of control. Often it proposes a logic of “direct action” behind which a power that needs to be recognized and measured by its consequences is hidden. The magnitude of this change happened within the “knowledge society” that generates an educational alert requesting our attention on the nascent organization criteria “Curriculum digital intervention”; this is an intervention that has spread already from objects to people. Therefore, the relationship with the devices, platform selection, availability of information, the ubiquity of consultations, intervention and network management, and application development is the new digital environment that requires transdisciplinary approaches and a humanizing approach to avoid the danger of generating a mass of subjects adapted to the paradigms of the XXI century.Si tuviéramos que trazar rápidamente la evolución de los intercambios entre las tecnologías de la información y la educación deberíamos distinguir, al menos, tres fases: las experiencias pioneras, la integración, y la instrumentalización de recursos digitales y virtualización. Sin embargo, ese proceso de apropiación ha sido también de maduración y, por ende, ha motivado una reflexión sobre las propias prácticas docentes, señalando lí- mites y posibilidades. Quizás, hoy asistimos al ingreso en otra etapa de aquella trayectoria evolutiva que se podría denominar como de “post-digitalización”. Aquí aparecen, entonces, cuestiones que desafían no sólo la manera de educar (abarcativa de la didáctica de los saberes) sino que también interpelan la formación de nuevos hábitos culturales cuyo ejercicio no reconoce mediatizaciones, elimina instancias de control y, muchas veces, propone lógicas de “acción directa” detrás de las que se oculta un poder que necesita ser reconocido y medido por sus consecuencias. La magnitud de este cambio sucedido en el seno de la “sociedad del Conocimiento” dispara un alerta educativo que solicita nuestra atención sobre los criterios de organización del naciente “Currículo de intervención digital”; una intervención que se ha extendido –hace tiempo ya– desde los objetos hasta las personas. Por todo ello, la relación con los dispositivos, la selección de plataformas, la disponibilidad de la información, la ubicuidad de las consultas, la intervención y administración de redes, y el desarrollo de aplicaciones constituyen el novedoso ambiente digital que requiere abordajes transdisciplinarios y una mirada humanizadora para no sucumbir al peligro de generar una masificación de los sujetos adaptada a los paradigmas del siglo XXI.Se tivéssemos que delinear a evolução dos intercâmbios entre as tecnologias da informação e a educação deveríamos distinguir ao menos três fases: as experiências pioneiras, a integração e a instrumentação de recursos digitais e virtualização. Contudo, o processo de apropriação foi também de maduração, e, portanto, motivou uma reflexão sobre as próprias práticas docentes, apontando limites e possibilidades. Talvez hoje assistamos ao ingresso em outra etapa de aquela trajetória evolutiva que se poderia denominar como de pós-digitalização. Aqui aparecem, então, questões que desafiam não somente o modo de educar (contida na didática dos saberes) senão que também interpelam a formação de novos hábitos culturais cujo exercício não reconhece mediatizações, elimina instancias de controle e, muitas vezes, propõe lógicas de ação direta detrás das quais se oculta um poder que precisa ser reconhecido e medido por suas conseqüências. A magnitude desta mudança sucedida no interior da sociedade do conhecimento dispara um alerta educativo que precisa de nossa atenção sobre os critérios de organização do novo currículo de intervenção digital, uma intervenção alargada desde os objetos até as pessoas. Por tudo isso, a relação com os dispositivos, a seleção de plataformas, a disponibilidade da informação, a ubiqüidade das consultas, a intervenção e administração de redes, e o desenvolvimento de aplicações constituem o novo ambiente digital que precisa abordagens transdisciplinares e uma mirada humanizante para não sucumbir ao perigo de gerar uma massificação dos sujeitos adaptada aos paradigmas do século XXI
