    Stroke sequelae are currently one of the leading causes of disability in older adults. The work was carried out in the Rehabilitation Department of the Provincial Clinical University Hospital, Doctor “Gustavo Alderguía Lima”, Cienfuegos, Cuba, with the aim of analyzing the contribution made by the implementation of the physical rehabilitation program and its adaptation to the context of application, to well-being and quality of life of the elderly with acute ischemic stroke. A correlational or multiple design was carried out, using a random and intentional sample, using diagnostic methods, documentary analysis and the authors' own experience. The relevance of the adjustments made to the rehabilitation program was evaluated using the Delphi method, based on expert criteria. As a main result, it was verified that they are very pertinent: the structure of the program, the systemic relationship that is established between its components, its content and forms of control, as well as the methodological guidelines that guarantee its realization in practice and with it, the value of the modifications made to its application, as required in the implementation scenario.Las secuelas por Ictus en la actualidad constituyen una de las primeras causas de discapacidad en los adultos mayores.

    Los objetivos principales del presente trabajo fueron: a) Estudiar cuál es el uso adecuado de las distintas herramientas para mejorar la mineralización del rastrojo de la cosecha de arroz (Oryza sativa L.) bajo siembra directa y b) Determinar, para períodos cortos, la cantidad de rastrojo depositado superficialmente y su tiempo de mineralización al utilizar las distintas técnicas de manejo del mismo. Los tratamientos fueron: cosechadora con desparramador deflector (T1DD), cosechadora sin desparramador triturador (T2SDT), cosechadora con desparramador centrífugo de caucho (T3DC) y cosechadora con desparramador metálico (T4DM). Alternativas implementadas: a) desmalezado b) rolo cuchilla y c) quemado de rastrojo. En las primeras dos alternativas, se aplicaron tres dosis de urea. Los resultados principales fueron: a) La T2SDT produjo, una mayor deposición de material en el centro de la máquina (21680 kg ha-1), b) la distribución de rastrojo de la (T3DC) fue más uniforme que para los otros tratamientos. Las principales conclusiones fueron: 1) Los desparramadores centrífugos de caucho y metálico produjeron mejor distribución del material, 2) El uso de desmalezadora o rolo cuchilla sobre rastrojo de los tratamientos T3DC y T4DM aceleró la mineralización de los mismos. 3) Las dosis de urea causó poco incremento en la mineralización del rastrojo.The main purposes of this study were to: a) Find out how tools (deflectors, spreaders and choppers) can be used best for improving mineralization of stubble from harvesting rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown under direct sowing and b) Determine, for short periods, the amount of crop residues deposited on the surface and its mineralization time with various management techniques. The treatments were: harvester with spreader (T1DD), harvester without spreader (T2SDT), harvester with rubber centrifugal spreader (T3DC) and harvester with metal spreader (T4DM). Implemented alternatives: a) rotary weed cutter b) blade roller and c) burning crop residues. In the first two alternatives, three doses of urea were applied. The main results were: a) The harvester without spreader (T2SDT) deposited more material in the center of the tail (21680 kg ha-1), b) when distribution of crop residues from the (T3DC) was more uniform compared with the other treatments. The main conclusions were: 1) the rubber centrifugal spreader and metal spreader produced better distribution of the stubble, 2) The use of rotary weed cutter or blade roller on stubble distributed by harvesters T3DC and T4DM treatments caused accelerated mineralization of the same, 3) Urea doses caused little increase in mineralization of the rice stubble.Fil: Hidalgo, Ramón J..

    A Discussion about the Methodology to Validate the Correlations of Heat Transfer Coefficients and Pressure Drop during the Condensation in a Finned-Tube Heat Exchanger

    As already demonstrated by others authors, when the performance of a heat exchanger is analyzed, a semi-empirical model allows getting good prediction of the experimental results provided that it is accompanied by the application of the suitable correlations for calculating heat transfer coefficients (HTC) and pressure drop (PD) in both refrigerant and air side. Many correlations for calculating these coefficients are available in literature, therefore choose the more suitable of them turns out to be not an easy task. This paper presents a discussion about the methodology to perform a comparison aimed to define the criterion for choosing the most suitable correlation to be used in a simulation model for prediction of heat exchangers performance in refrigeration systems. Differently from others works, where the results of each correlation are compared with those obtained by means specific experiments focused on the local phenomenon visualization, in this work the correlations are compared against the measurements of a complete finned-tube condenser integrated in a traditional air-to-water heat pump. The comparison has been carried out using a model able to discretize the heat exchanger through a finite volume method (FVM). The discussion is supported with a case study which was experimentally tested and numerically modeled. The condenser is a finned tube coil that characterized by two asymmetric circuits. The tube diameter is 7 mm and the fin pitch is 2.6 mm. The experimental test bench includes a single-speed 34.3 cm3 reciprocating-hermetic compressor, a plate evaporator and an electronic valve as expansion device. An accumulator allow adjusting the condenser sub-cooling. A specific test campaign has been designed in order to cover a wide range operating points of the condenser: different air velocities (from 1.5 m/s to 4 m/s), inlet temperatures (20-46°C) and sub-cooling (0-5-10°C) have been taken into account. All the correlations considered were programmed and simulated with the software IMST-ART. In order to avoid the overlapping of the effects of the different correlations, during the analysis of the two-phase flow, the heat transferred in the one-phase section of the exchanger and the air-side heat transfer coefficient were maintained constant. The analysis of air-side heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop was carried out in the same way but keeping constant the coefficients of the refrigerant side. Different accuracy parameters were defined in order to assist the final decision about which correlation is able to provide the best agreement with experimental data. The paper aims to present a discussion about the validation methodology, the analysis of the correlations impact on the model results rather than define the parameters to choose the best correlation

    Deliverable D3: Global climatic features over the next million years and recommendation for specific situations to be considered. Work Package 2, Simulation of the future evolution of the biosphere system using the hierarchical strategy. Modelling Sequential Biosphere Systems under Climate Change for Radioactive Waste Disposal (BIOCLIM)

    Full text link
    The BIOCLIM project aims at assessing the possible long-term impacts of climate change on the safety of waste repositories in deep formations using climate simulations of the long-term climate in various European areas. One of the objectives of the project is to develop two strategies for representing sequential climatic changes to the geosphere-biosphere system for different sites over Europe, addressing the time scale of one million years. The results of this work will be interpreted in terms of global or regional changes of climate and of vegetation. The first strategy (hierarchical strategy) will use the full hierarchy of existing climate models (a climate model is a numerical simplified representation of the climate system behaviour and evolution). Simple models (LLN 2-D NH and threshold models; see the description here after) will simulate the overall long-term evolution of the global climate. Their results will then be used as inputs to more complex models (LMD climate models possibly coupled with vegetation models, either SECHIBA or ORCHIDE) and finally climate and vegetation cover will be determined for specific sites at specific times. A second strategy (integrated strategy) will consist in building an integrated climate model, which represents most of the physical mechanisms for studying long-term climatic variations. The results will then be interpreted on a regional scale. This deliverable is the first step of the hierarchical strategy. The purpose of this deliverable is to identify and justify some specific climatic situations amongst different long-term simulations that are of interest for assessing the safety of radioactive waste repository sites and that will be further studied with GCMs (General Circulation Model)
