Proyecto Patrimonio Histórico Iberoamericano (PHI): Colaboración y difusión en la Web para la gestión del patrimonio

El artículo presenta el proyecto “Patrimonio Histórico Cultural Iberoamericano” (PHI), el cual agrupa en su fase piloto una red de ocho universidades iberoamericanas, lideradas por la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, y que tiene como objetivos la difusión de los contenidos generados en el ámbito académico relacionados con el patrimonio histórico y cultural en riesgo y con los bienes que presentan oportunidades para la cooperación al desarrollo. El artículo se divide en tres partes: En la primera de ellas se introduce el proyecto (sus generalidades, fases y objetivos); en la segunda parte se presenta una breve revisión de los aspectos generales de la gestión de la información relacionada con el patrimonio cultural (sistemas de información y esquemas de metadatos) que sirven de marco al proyecto. La tercera parte describe cómo dicha gestión de la información se lleva a cabo en el ámbito de la presente iniciativa (creación y gestión de contenidos, la ficha PHI para la descripción de los casos de estudio) y el sistema de gestión de contenidos en uso. Finalmente se presentan las conclusiones y el trabajo futuro

Paisaje y turismo. El corredor bético de Alcaraz (Albacete)

It is our intention to raise some considerations concerning the function played by cultural tourism and the emerging role of landscape as a resource. A relevant case of this process in Castilla-La Mancha is the territory organized by the Guadalmena River, in the province of Albacete, and its immediate surroundings. The most relevant aspect of this valley is its relief, which creates its characteristic sharp lines. This relief contains several landscape units. The biogeographic characters of this climatologic crossroad result in a new singular element in the territory. Today, an interesting landscape tourist route, which starts at the historic town of Alcaraz, can be created by implementing the inventory of natural and cultural resources in the Valley of Gualdamena River.Se plantea una reflexión introductoria acerca de la función del turismo cultural y del papel emergente del paisaje como recurso territorial. En Castilla-La Mancha un caso relevante de este proceso lo constituye el territorio que ocupa el valle del río Guadalmena, en la provincia de Albacete, y su entorno inmediato. El elemento más destacado y por el que el valle adquiere sus caracteres mejor definidos es el relieve, que comprende varias unidades de paisaje. Los caracteres biogeográficos propios de una encrucijada climatológica añaden un nuevo elemento de singularidad a este territorio. La integración de los recursos naturales y culturales del valle del río Guadalmena facilita el desarrollo de una interesante ruta turística paisajística que tiene a la histórica ciudad de Alcaraz como punto de partida

Effects of the comminution rate and microbial contamination of particles in the rumen on accuracy of in situ estimates of digestion of protein and amino acids of dehydrated sugar beet pulp

[EN] Effects of the correction of microbial contamination (using N-15 techniques) and of considering the comminution rate (k (c)) of particles in the rumen on effective estimates of the ruminally undegraded (RU) fraction and its intestinal effective digestibility (IED) were examined in a sample of dehydrated sugar beet pulp (DBP) generating composite samples (from rumen-incubated residues) representative of the chemical composition of RU. Tested fractions were dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM, tested only for RU), crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA). The study was performed on three rumen and duodenum cannulated wethers fed with a 2:1 (fresh weight basis) chopped oat hay-to-concentrate diet supplied at 40g DM/kg BW0 center dot 75 in six equal meals per day. The DBP showed sigmoid degradation kinetics: the fractional degradation rate increased by 5 center dot 8 times as time (h) increased from 0 to infinity. The k (c) rate (measured in the diet concentrate) represented 5 center dot 74% of the total rumen retention time of particles. As a result, the RU of DM was over-evaluated by 6 center dot 53% when k (c) was not considered. Microbial contamination of RU was high as in DM as in CP. Therefore, the overestimation of RU of DM was increased to 12 center dot 2% when this contamination was not corrected. The lack of this correction also led to large over-evaluations of RU and IED of CP and AA. As a result, the overestimation of the intestinal digested fraction was 40 center dot 9% for CP and 45 center dot 0% for total analysed AA. This overestimation varied largely among AA (from 18 center dot 9 to 88 center dot 7%). Corrected proportions of RU and IED were also variable among AA. Hypotheses on the causes of this variability are given. Resultant changes in the AA profile of the intestinal digested protein had some negative impact on the supply of essential AA and cysteine without affecting lysine. This problem is limited because the microbial protein synthesized from DBP fermentation in the rumen is largely predominant in the AA supply to the host.This work was supported by the CICYT-funded Project AGL 2006-08300.

Development of canopy vigour maps using UAV for site-specific management during vineyard spraying process

Site-specific management of crops represents an important improvement in terms of efficiency and efficacy of the different labours, and its implementation has experienced a large development in the last decades, especially for field crops.

El nuevo espacio Web del Atlas Nacional de España, antesala del SIANE

Este artículo presenta los resultados fruto del reciente convenio conjunto entre el Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) y la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), que ha tenido por objeto la investigación, diseño y creación de las páginas Web del Atlas Nacional de España (ANE). De carácter complementario a los objetos y datos que constituyen el ANE, este nuevo espacio Web que aquí se presenta constituirá el acceso al Sistema de Información del Atlas Nacional de España (SIANE), proporcionado la base tecnológica para la futura gestión y actualización del ANE. En definitiva, se trata de crear un marco contextual que por un lado haga comprender rápidamente al usuario qué puede ofrecerle SIANE, y por otro lado, complementar y potenciar la gestión informativa de éste presentando otros contenidos, diferentes a los objetos y datos publicados en el Atlas Nacional de España, que permitan definir y caracterizar esta importante obra

Planktonic cyanobacteria from the Abreus Reservoir, Cienfuegos, Cuba

The study of the cyanobacteria that make up the phytoplankton community of reservoirs is very important due to the production of toxins by some phytoplankton taxa. The composition and abundance of cyanobacteria and their relationship to physicochemical variables was determined during six months (March, April, June, September, November and December) in 2018 at five stations in the Abreus Reservoir, which is located in the south center of the Cienfuegos province (Cuba). Eleven new taxa were observed in the reservoir grouped into seven families, 14 genera, and 34 species. The toxigenic genera Microcystis and Raphidiopsis were observed at all collection points throughout the year, presenting a potentially persistent toxicity threat in this reservoir. Semi-accumulative blooms were reported in September. Microcystis sp. and Raphidiopsis sp. were the most abundant genera during observed blooms. The abundance of some cyanobacterial genera, including Microcystis, Aphanocapsa, Raphidiopsis and Dolichospermum, were strongly correlated with water temperature and transparency. Microcystin values are reported for the first time in Abreus Reservoir

Influence of sprayer type, air settings and nozzle type on drift during spray application in vineyard. Effect of canopy density on spray retention

Sprayer types, as well as working parameters, have direct influence on the amount of spray retained on the canopy. This research was focused on the quantification of spray amount that exceeded the last canopy row during the spray application in a vineyard parcel.Postprint (published version
