Measurement of the cosmic ray spectrum above eV using inclined events detected with the Pierre Auger Observatory
A measurement of the cosmic-ray spectrum for energies exceeding
eV is presented, which is based on the analysis of showers
with zenith angles greater than detected with the Pierre Auger
Observatory between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2013. The measured spectrum
confirms a flux suppression at the highest energies. Above
eV, the "ankle", the flux can be described by a power law with
index followed by
a smooth suppression region. For the energy () at which the
spectral flux has fallen to one-half of its extrapolated value in the absence
of suppression, we find
eV.Comment: Replaced with published version. Added journal reference and DO
Energy Estimation of Cosmic Rays with the Engineering Radio Array of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) is part of the Pierre Auger
Observatory and is used to detect the radio emission of cosmic-ray air showers.
These observations are compared to the data of the surface detector stations of
the Observatory, which provide well-calibrated information on the cosmic-ray
energies and arrival directions. The response of the radio stations in the 30
to 80 MHz regime has been thoroughly calibrated to enable the reconstruction of
the incoming electric field. For the latter, the energy deposit per area is
determined from the radio pulses at each observer position and is interpolated
using a two-dimensional function that takes into account signal asymmetries due
to interference between the geomagnetic and charge-excess emission components.
The spatial integral over the signal distribution gives a direct measurement of
the energy transferred from the primary cosmic ray into radio emission in the
AERA frequency range. We measure 15.8 MeV of radiation energy for a 1 EeV air
shower arriving perpendicularly to the geomagnetic field. This radiation energy
-- corrected for geometrical effects -- is used as a cosmic-ray energy
estimator. Performing an absolute energy calibration against the
surface-detector information, we observe that this radio-energy estimator
scales quadratically with the cosmic-ray energy as expected for coherent
emission. We find an energy resolution of the radio reconstruction of 22% for
the data set and 17% for a high-quality subset containing only events with at
least five radio stations with signal.Comment: Replaced with published version. Added journal reference and DO
Measurement of the Radiation Energy in the Radio Signal of Extensive Air Showers as a Universal Estimator of Cosmic-Ray Energy
We measure the energy emitted by extensive air showers in the form of radio
emission in the frequency range from 30 to 80 MHz. Exploiting the accurate
energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we obtain a radiation energy of
15.8 \pm 0.7 (stat) \pm 6.7 (sys) MeV for cosmic rays with an energy of 1 EeV
arriving perpendicularly to a geomagnetic field of 0.24 G, scaling
quadratically with the cosmic-ray energy. A comparison with predictions from
state-of-the-art first-principle calculations shows agreement with our
measurement. The radiation energy provides direct access to the calorimetric
energy in the electromagnetic cascade of extensive air showers. Comparison with
our result thus allows the direct calibration of any cosmic-ray radio detector
against the well-established energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory.Comment: Replaced with published version. Added journal reference and DOI.

Neutrinos with energies above 1017 eV are detectable with the Surface Detector Array of the Pierre Auger Observatory. The identification is efficiently performed for neutrinos of all flavors interacting in the atmosphere at large zenith angles, as well as for Earth-skimming \u3c4 neutrinos with nearly tangential trajectories relative to the Earth. No neutrino candidates were found in 3c 14.7 years of data taken up to 31 August 2018. This leads to restrictive upper bounds on their flux. The 90% C.L. single-flavor limit to the diffuse flux of ultra-high-energy neutrinos with an E\u3bd-2 spectrum in the energy range 1.0

Transformación de la materia y energía en sistemas de producción bovina de carne en los sistemas campesinos e impactos ambientales, caso Estado de México
Contiene tablas, esquemas e imágenesEn el trabajo se presenta el estudio de una investigación sobre la eficiencia energética en los alimentos utilizados para la alimentación del ganado bovino en tres zonas del Estado de México (norte, centro y sur). Se hizo una comparación de costos entre estas dietas para poder orientar a los productores en cuanto a que alimentos son viables a la hora de alimentar su ganado.
La ganaría es un tema de suma importancia, ya que en las últimas décadas su crecimiento ha logrado generar un cambio significativo en el medio ambiente. El ganado está modificando los ecosistemas de la tierra y amenazando la biodiversidad al abrirse nuevas tierras para el pastoreo y desplazando la diversidad de la zona, al utilizar más agua de la necesaria y al crear en la sociedad una necesidad de consumir carne, además de contribuir al cambio climático. En este estudio se pretende mostrar las repercusiones que se tienen en el ambiente al suministrarles una dieta no apta, donde se tiene un desperdicio de alimentos que se convierte en pérdidas energéticas para el sistema agropecuario trayendo consecuencias negativas y perjudiciales tanto económicas como ambientales.
Al analizar las tres dietas seleccionadas en el Estado de México se obtuvo que la dieta más eficiente para el crecimiento y engorda de ganado fue la dieta del sur, cabe mencionar que también esta dieta fue la que tuvo un menor costo económico.
Se pretende dar sugerencias y alternativas a los campesinos y productores sobre alternativas para el mejor manejo de su ganado y de esta forma eficientizar su manejo y desarrollo
In vitro nutritional quality and antioxidant activity of three weed species as feed additives for sheep in the Central Highlands of Mexico.
9 páginas, 5 tablas, 1 figuraSheep production is traditional for rural communities in Mexico, based on natural grasslands and semi-stabled feeding. Quality forages are necessary to improve productivity in these systems. Weeds are an alternative to feed ruminants and to manage crops. Also, many plants have secondary metabolites beneficial for livestock. The objective was to assess the nutritive value in vitro and the antioxidant activity of three weeds (Tithonia tubiformis, Cosmos bipinnatus, and Tagetes lucida) and four treatments (T0 = control diet, T1 = diet + 5% T. tubiformis, T2 = diet + 5% C. bipinnatus, and T3 = diet + 5% T. lucida). Nutritive value was determined from chemical composition by standard methods and mineral contents by inductively coupled plasma analyses. Secondary compounds, total phenols (TP), total tannins (TT), condensed tannins (CT), and phenolic compounds, were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography, and total antioxidant activity was determined by measuring the oxygen radical absorbance capacity. Rumen fermentation kinetics and in vitro digestibility of dry matter (IVDMD), organic matter (IVOMD), and neutral detergent fibre (IVNDFD) were determined per species and treatment by in vitro gas production. T. tubiformis had the highest CP and TP contents (P 0.05) were found in rumen kinetics parameters, IVDMD, IVOMD, IVNDFD, or metabolizable energy, indicating that the tested weeds can be used as additives to increase antioxidant activity in sheep diets without negative effects.Authors are thankful for financial support from the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico (Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México [UAEM]) through grants UAEM 3101/2011U and 4334/2017/CI.
