Comparison of nitrification inhibitors to restrict nitrate leaching in a maize crop irrigated under mediterranean conditions
The aim of this paper was to compare dicyandiamide (DCD) and 3,4 dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) as inhibitors of ammonium oxidation and nitrate leaching after applying fertilizer to a maize (Zea mays L.) crop grown under Mediterranean conditions. The effects of nitrification inhibitors were also compared to those of N fertilization without inhibitors and with split N application. In plots fertilized with ammonium sulphate nitrate (ASN), either DCD or DMPP lengthened ammonium presence in soil and produced lower soil NO3- concentrations (30% lower than in plots with no inhibitor). The use of DCD or DMPP achieved significant reductions in nitrate leaching. DCD showed excellent properties for controlling nitrate leaching, taking into account the fact that grain yield and N accumulated by plant were similar for the ASN-DCD and ASN treatments applied at the same N doses. The split N treatment did not offer any advantages in terms of leached nitrate, either with the use of single ammonium sulphate nitrate (ASN) or with single application of nitrification inhibitors. The nitrification inhibitors did not increase the yield but did not reduce it either. The drainage rate was the most important component of nitrate leaching. The low drainage values of the first year resulted in a sharp decline of nitrate leaching. However, the experiment of the second year, showed clear differences in nitrate leaching between treatments due to the greater drainage

The Credit Portfolio and Its Impact on the Liquidity of Savings and Credit Cooperatives Segment 3, Province of Chimborazo, Case: San Miguel de Pallatanga Cooperative, 2017– 2019
The objective of this research is to analyze the credit portfolio and its impact on the Liquidity of the Savings and Credit Cooperatives Segment 3, Province of Chimborazo, during the period 2017–2019 Case: Cooperativa San Miguel de Pallatanga. The design of this research refers to a set of systematic and empirical processes, since the diagnostic processes are dynamic and evolutionary, which allowed the information to be quantitative in nature, further allowing deriving a deductive thinking scheme based on the logic and reasoning of the researcher. After analyzing the accounting balances disclosed in the 2017–2018 and 2019 Statements of Financial Position, the joint liquidity calculation was proceeded to the financial analysis from which the highest liquidity indicator registered in the Cooperativa San Jorge LTDA corresponding to a greater capacity for responding to immediate cash requirements by its depositors or reserve requirements, followed by Cooperativa San Miguel de Pallatanga, Cooperativa Nueva Esperanza LTDA, and Cooperativa Minga LTDA. In addition, according to the data obtained in 2019, the San Miguel de Pallatanga Cooperative reports 100% non-payments in the priority commercial portfolio, which indicates that the institution has serious problems to recover the priority commercial loan portfolio.

Temperature Sensor Placement Including Routing Overhead and Sampling Inaccuracies
Dynamic thermal management techniques require a collection of on-chip thermal sensors that imply a significant area and power overhead. Finding the optimum number of temperature monitors and their location on the chip surface to optimize accuracy is an NP-hard problem. In this work we improve the modeling of the problem by including area, power and networking constraints along with the consideration of three inaccuracy terms: spatial errors, sampling rate errors and monitor-inherent errors. The problem is solved by the simulated annealing algorithm. We apply the algorithm to a test case employing three different types of monitors to highlight the importance of the different metrics. Finally we present a case study of the Alpha 21364 processor under two different constraint scenarios
Estimation of Triticum aestivum in pasta flour: interspecific limits for sitosteryl palmitate content
Sitosteryl palmitate (SP) content of flour was shown to be not significantly affected by normal variations in milling yield. Since the distribution of fat in a wheat kernel does not follow the same pattern as does SP, it is preferable to consider SP content on the basis of DM content of the flour. A survey of 46 Triticum aestivum and 24 T. durum flours showed that the latter contained SP, but its level did not exceed 1.5 mg/100 g. T. aestivum varieties show a two-peak distribution, with the maxima at approximately 4 mg/100 g and at 12 mg/100 g, respectively. Three T. aestivum flours were within the T. durum range and three others were close to it. Limits for sitosteryl palmitate content in T. aestivum and T. durum were tentatively established at 16.5 mg/100 g and 1.5 mg/100 g respectively. Based on these limits, a method is proposed for the estimation of the minimum amount of T. Aestivum in a mixture
Com impartir una Unitat Didàctica per augmentar l’atenció, l’interès i la participació de l’alumnat a les classes?
Treball Final del Màster Universitari en Professor/a d'Educació Secundària Obligatòria i Batxillerat, Formació Professional i Ensenyaments d'Idiomes. Codi: SAP119. Curs acadèmic 2014-2015El Treball Fi de Màster (TFM) desenvolupat correspon a la modalitat 1 de la normativa
de TFM de la Universitat Jaume I titulada “Millora Educativa”. Aquesta proposta de
millora va dirigida als alumnes de l’assignatura de Ciències de la Naturalesa d’un grup
de 1r d’ESO de l’IES Violant de Casalduch en Benicàssim per tal d’acabar o, almenys,
minimitzar la pèrdua d’atenció detectada en les classes, augmentant la participació i
l’interès d’aquests en les mateixes.
La metodologia que s’utilitza per realitzar aquest projecte és l’anomenada
“investigació-acció”, la qual es basa en proposar i aplicar un pla d’acció que puga
resoldre la problemàtica detectada, observar-lo contínuament per tal d’avaluar i
reflexionar sobre els canvis que es van produint, i seguidament proposar noves
millores educatives per començar el cicle de nou.
El pla d’acció que es proposa consisteix en elaborar una unitat didàctica (Les Plantes)
estructurant les classes de tal forma que s’aconseguisca que aquestes siguin més
dinàmiques i actives per l’alumnat, i que augmenti així el seu interès per l’assignatura.
Per poder assolir aquest objectiu es fa ús de les Tecnologies de la Informació i
Comunicació (TIC) per explicar d’una manera més vistosa, acolorida i esquematitzada
els continguts de la unitat didàctica. A banda, els alumnes realitzen activitats, tant
individuals com col·lectives, a classe i participen en jocs per recordar i repassar els
conceptes explicats. A més, seguint aquest propòsit, els alumnes realitzen manualment
un “blog” a casa com a resum dels continguts que s’expliquen a classe diàriament.
L’avaluació del projecte es basa en valorar la participació de l’alumnat en les activitats
fetes a l’aula a partir de les anotacions diàries de l’alumna en pràctiques i la visió
externa de la professora-tutora, en l’elaboració a casa del “blog”, en els resultats dels
exàmens i en la valoració de l’alumnat a la metodologia emprada a partir d’enquestes.
Finalment, després d’haver posat en pràctica aquest pla, hi ha que indicar que ha sigut
valorat positivament per part de l’alumnat i de la pròpia alumna en pràctiques ja que
s’ha pogut aconseguir els propòsits establerts inicialment. Concretament, ha contribuït
a augmentar l’atenció, la participació i l’interès cap a l’assignatura per part dels
alumnes, la qual cosa ha donat lloc a una millora en les qualificacions dels mateixos
Il palmitato di sitosterolo nelle varie parti del chicco di grano duro e tenero
II contenuto in palmitato di sitosterolo neMa maggior parte de-lie varietá di Triticum aestivum é considerevolmente piü elevato che nel Triticum durum. Questa netta differenza permette la determinazione semi-quantitativa del T. aestivum mescolato con prodotti di T. durum, come sémola, fariña o pasta. In base a r¡cerche su varietá di T. durum ed aestivum, si é stabilito che la porzione mínima di T. aestivum in una Tniscela é fúnzione del contenuto in palmitato di sitosterolo. E' stata studiata la di'stribuzione di questo composto nei chicchi di grano per determíname I'influenza su differenti miscele e prodotti. Sonó state analizzate nove frazioni ottenute con macinazione sperimentale, insieme a chicchi interi di due varietá di T. aestivum e di una di T. durum. Sonó stati anche analizzati il germe puro ed ¡I prodotto degerminato. Per la determinazione del palmitato di sitosterolo si é anche impiegata la cromatografía su strato sotti'Ie con supporto di gel di sílice impregnato con 'nitrato di argento. Per i I germe si sonó ottentiti valori piü alti rispetto airendosperma, essendo piü basso il contenuto in palmitato nel rivestimento del seme. Considerando il rapporto relativo alie frazioni studiate ed Ü rispettivo contenuto in palmitato di sitosterolo, si puó concludere che le variazioni della resa di macinazione entro limiti normali non hanno significativa influenza sul contenuto in palmitato
Distribution of sitosteryl palmitate in the wheat grain/Pie Verteilung von Sitosterylpalmitat im Weizenkorn
Sitosteryl palmitate content of most T. aestivum varieties is considerably higher than ^hat of T. durum. This sharp difference allows the semiquantitative determination of T, aestivum products when mixed with T. durum products such as semolina, flour or macaroni. Distribution of this substance in the wheat kernel has been investigated in order to check its influence on the estimated valúes for different products and mixtures» Nine fractions obtained by experimental milling, as well as the whole kernel, have been analize<? in three T. aestivum varieties and one T. durum. Puré germ and degerminated seed obtained by hand dissection also have been analized. A thin layer enromatography method on silica gel plates impregnated with silver nitrate, as previously described by us, has been employed in the sitosteryl palmitate determinations. Somewhat higher valúes are obtained for the germ as compared with endosperm, the content of the seed coats being lower. Considering the relative proportion of each fraction studied and their sitosteryl palmiíate content it can be concluded that variations within normal limits of extraction rate have no significant influence on sitosteryl palmitate content
Effect of integrated fertilization and cover cropping on N2O losses in an irrigated mediterranean maize field
Agronomical and environmental benefits are associated with replacing winter fallow by cover crops (CC).
Yet, the effect of this practice on nitrous oxide (N2
O) emissions remains poorly understood. The objective
of this study was to evaluate the effect of two different CC species (barley and vetch) and fallow on N2O
emissions during the CC period and during the following maize cash crop period in an Integrated Soil Fertility
management (ISFM) system. We also aimed to study the contribution of synthetic fertilizer and other N
sources to N2O emissions through a parallel 15N labelled fertilizer experiment
Evaluación de prácticas agrícolas (laboreo y rotación) para mitigar gases de efecto invernadero en clima mediterráneo
El laboreo de conservación (Mínimo Laboreo, ML; No Laboreo, NL) y la rotación de cultivos están consideradas como Buenas Prácticas Agrícolas, y contribuyen a mejorar las propiedades físicas y la fertilidad del suelo, así como a reducir el empleo de algunos insumos agrarios (Follet y Schimel 1989). Sin embargo, existe gran controversia sobre el efecto de estas prácticas sobre las emisiones de Gases de Efecto Invernadero (GEI), a las que la agricultura contribuye en un 13.5 %, siendo normalmente el óxido nitroso (N2O) el mayor determinante del Poder de Calentamiento Global derivado de los agrosistemas (IPCC, 2006). La variabilidad de resultados y la escasez de
estudios en zonas mediterráneas, especialmente sobre el efecto de la rotación de cultivos, justifican la necesidad de nuevos estudios sobre este tema. El objetivo principal de este ensayo ha sido evaluar la influencia de las prácticas de laboreo de conservación frente al Laboreo Tradicional (LT) mediante vertedera; así como la rotación
