Influencia de la temperatura y del tiempo de pirólisis en la hidrofobicidad de biocarbón obtenido a partir de purín porcino

[ESP] Para determinar y explicar la influencia de la temperatura y del tiempo de pirólisis en la hidrofobicidad de los biocarbones producidos a partir de purín porcino, se realizaron pirólisis del mismo a temperaturas de 300, 400, 500 y 700 ºC con tiempos de 1h, 2h, 4h y 5h, obteniendo 16 tipos de biocarbones a los cuales se les determinó la hidrofobicidad, el contenido de carbono total y los grupos funcionales orgánicos. Los resultados mostraron que la hidrofobicidad en los biocarbones aumenta a bajas temperaturas y tiempos de pirólisis bajos, desapareciendo a partir de 4h a 400ºC y cualquier tiempo a partir de 500ºC, debido a la pérdida de compuestos alifáticos. [ENG] To identify and explain the influence of the temperature and time of pyrolysis on the hydrophobicity of biochars produced from pig manure, pyrolysis was performed at temperatures of 300, 400, 500 and 700°C with times of 1h, 2h, 4h and 5h, obtaining 16 kinds of biochars. We measured hydrophobicity, total carbon content and the organic functional groups. The results showed that hydrophobicity increased at low temperatures and low pyrolysis time, disappearing from 4h at 400ºC and at any time from 500°C due to the loss of aliphatic compounds.Centro Universitario de la Defensa.

Exposure and Knowledge of Sharps Injuries among Medical Students in Seven States of Mexico

Background: Medical students are vulnerable to accidental exposure to blood-borne pathogens when performing clinical activities. Knowledge of both the prevalence of exposure and necessary reporting procedures is important to minimize the risk of harm to medical students. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey of medical students from 19 universities from seven states in Mexico was utilized to determinethe prevalence of needle stick injuries amongst medical students and the associated reporting procedures. Results: We included 312 respondents; of these, 52.24% were men and 47.76% were women, and the mean age was 23.19 years (SD ± 2.11 years). Nearly all of them (94.23%) were medical students doing clerkships in public hospitals. Mean knowledge score of blood-borne pathogens was 3.6 (SD ± 1.16) on a scale of 0-10 designed specifically for this study. Thirty-five per cent of the respondents had sustained a needle stick injury at some point during their medical school training, and 33.97% reported some type of mucocutaneous exposure. Overall, the non-reporting rate of needle stick injury was 48.34%. Approximately 25% of the respondents were not familiar with reporting procedures in the event of a needle stick injury or mucocutaneous exposure; 61.50% had received information from their hospital about the standard protocol to follow after a blood or body fluid exposure. Conclusion: In this Mexican population of medical students, there is a high risk of suffering needle stick injuries&nbsp; during medical training. Furthermore, knowledge regarding prevention, evaluation, and reporting of needle stick injuries is suboptimal

Estimating biomass of mixed and uneven-aged forests using spectral data and a hybrid model combining regression trees and linear models

The Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range (Durango, Mexico) is of great ecological interest because of the high degree of environmental heterogeneity in the area. The objective of the present study was to estimate the biomass of mixed and uneven-aged forests in the Sierra Madre Occidental by using Landsat-5 TM spectral data and forest inventory data. We used the ATCOR3 ® atmospheric and topographic correction module to convert remotely sensed imagery digital signals to surface reflectance values. The usual approach of modeling stand variables by using multiple linear regression was compared with a hybrid model developed in two steps: in the first step a regression tree was used to obtain an initial classification of homogeneous biomass groups, and multiple linear regression models were then fitted to each node of the pruned regression tree. Cross-validation of the hybrid model explained 72.96% of the observed stand biomass variation, with a reduction in the RMSE of 25.47% with respect to the estimates yielded by the linear model fitted to the complete database. The most important variables for the binary classification process in the regression tree were the albedo, the corrected readings of the short-wave infrared band of the satellite (2.08-2.35 µm) and the topographic moisture index. We used the model output to construct a map for estimating biomass in the study area, which yielded values of between 51 and 235 Mg ha-1. The use of regression trees in combination with stepwise regression of corrected satellite imagery proved a reliable method for estimating forest biomass.This research was supported by SEPPROMEP (Project: Seguimiento y Evaluación de Sitios Permanentes de Investigación Forestal y el Impacto Socioeconómico del anejo Forestal en el Norte de México)S

DIAGNÓSTICO FITOPATOLÓGICO DE LAS PRINCIPALES ENFERMEDADES EN DIVERSAS ESPECIES DE ENCINOS Y SU DISTRIBUCIÓN EN LA SIERRA FRÍA DE AGUASCALIENTES, MÉXICO

Oak trees (Quercus spp.) are a very importantresource for mankind. For several years oakmortality has been observed on the Sierra Fría,Aguascalientes, Mexico. The objectives of thisstudy were: 1) to know those agents causingoak mortality on the Sierra Fría, 2) to establishthe distribution of affected areas on this sierra,3) to determine oak species affected in the areaof study and 4) to indicate their importance as aplant pathogens. Twenty-eight locations on theSierra Fría were sampled by means of transects.Each transect comprised a visual inspectionof 20 trees to observe symptoms and signson affected trees. In addition, 100 trees wereinspected at each location in order to detectascomata and basidiomata of plant pathogens.The identification of plant pathogens was based upon the presence of symptoms and signs(ascomata, basidiomata) on the trees. Cankerswere the most important observed symptom,being present in 92% of study locations andon 15 to 75% of trees. On living and matureoak trees, the plant pathogens causing thecankers were: Phellinus robustus, P. gilvus andP. everhartii. Ganoderma lucidum was foundon both young and adult trees. Biscogniauxiaatropunctata and Hypoxylon thouarsianum,opportunistic fungi of low pathogenic capacity, were also identified, affecting weak treesstressed by abiotic factors (drought, frost) andother plant pathogens. The most abundantoak species, and the one most affected, wasQ. potosina. Hypoxylon thouarsianum wasthe most widespread fungus, being presentin 12 out of the 28 study locations, followedby B. atropunctata, which was found in eightlocations.Los encinos (Quercus spp.) son un recursonatural muy importante para el ser humano.Desde hace varios años se ha observado lamuerte de ellos en la Sierra Fría.
