El feedback y su relación con la efectividad de la comunicación organizacional en la empresa Constructora e Inversiones Panta & Samillan EIRL, Piura - 2018

El presente trabajo de investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre el feedback y la efectividad de la comunicación organizacional en la empresa Constructora e Inversiones Panta & Samillan E.I.R.L. El tipo de estudio de la investigación según la finalidad fue aplicado; según el nivel o alcance fue una investigación correlacional y según la temporalidad fue transversal; mediante un diseño no experimental, ya que no existió manipulación deliberada de las variables. Las técnicas de recolección de datos fueron: encuesta para los colaboradores de la Constructora e Inversiones Panta & Samillan E.I.R.L, entrevista para tres miembros de la organización, pertenecientes al nivel directivo de la constructora en mención, se empleó observación para conocer la realidad de la empresa constructora. La población de estudio estuvo constituida por los colaboradores y los niveles directivos de la empresa constructora y no se consideró una muestra debido a que su población finita, por tanto, se tomó a todos los colaboradores de la organización. Se concluyó que la relación que existe entre el feedback y la efectividad de la comunicación organizacional en la empresa es directa, sin embargo, en la constructora, ambas variables son escasas y la situación en la que se encuentra la organización es alarmante, por lo que es necesario que los canales de comunicación empiecen a fluir, a través de un feedback constante

Influence of Large Periods of DC Current Injection in c-Si Photovoltaic Panels

Nowadays, electroluminescence imaging (Eli) appears as an emerging technique in the maintenance of photovoltaic (PV) plants. There is a concern about how the current injection needed in ELi measurements can affect the PV modules service life, and how these periodical inspections can affect the long term life of the modules. In order to give a practical answer to this problem, a series of tests consisting of long periods of current injection on several monocrystalline silicon modules has been carried out. The modules tested had already fulfilled their useful life and present multiple defects. In order to analyze how the current injection affects the state of the module, images of infrared thermography (IRT) and ELi were acquired during the current injection period. The subsequent analysis of these images shows only a small effect during the heating period in the EL intensity results at the beginning of each test, not affecting the module performance.Proyecto de Investigación ENE2017-89561-C4-3-R (MCIN)Proyecto de Investigación RTC-2017-6712-3 (MCIN)Proyecto de Investigación VA283P18 (Junta de Castilla y León

Failure Diagnosis on Photovoltaic Modules Using Thermography, Electroluminescence, Rgb and I-V Techniques

Different techniques can be used to detect and quantify PV modules anomalies, as visual inspections, electrical tests like the I-V curve test, infrared thermography (IRT) or electroluminescence (EL). PV plants operators usually apply only one or two of them within the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) activities. Additionally, researchers usually studied them separately. However, these methods provide complementary results, glimpsing interesting information about the PV site state. The main strength of the research performed is the simultaneous study of all these inspection techniques, studying the correlation between them. Results confirm that, EL and IRT under current injection on modules are closely correlated, while IRT under normal operation (sun exposure) reveals complementary information not detected in EL but existing in the visible spectrum. In conclusion, it is advisable using as many techniques as possible to characterize the actual state of the module and to explain its I-V curve.Proyecto de Investigación ENE2017-89561-C4-3-R (MCIN)Proyecto de Investigación RTC-2017-6712-3 (MCIN)Proyecto de Investigación VA283P18 (Junta de Castilla y León

Efectos de las variables de proceso en la microencapsulación del aceite de ajonjolí (Sesamum indica L.) mediante secado por aspersión

Artículo científico en revista indizada en SCOPUS, JCR, CONACyTThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the process variables of microencapsulation sesame oil (SO) by spray drying to generate the desired powder quality with the highest efficiency encapsulation and maximum linoleic acid content microencapsulated using a full factorial design of experiments. Thirty two tests were made, and five replicates were conducted on the central points. Independent variables were volumetric dispersed phase (O/W) (0.05, 0.10 and 0.15), wall material to core ratios (Wa:Co) (1:1, 2:1 and 3:1) and drying air inlet temperature (Ti) (120, 140 and160 °C). Surface oil (SOM%), encapsulation efficiency (EE%), linoleic acid content (LAC%), and moisture content (MC%) were analyzed as responses. Under maximum process conditions Wa:Co=2.59:1, O/W=0.05 and Ti=154.04 °C, the response variables including, EE and LAC were predicted as 88.20% and 50.02% respectively. It was concluded that these microcapsules containing high content of linoleic acid can be used as functional food.CONACy

Deciphering the Large-Scale Environment of Radio Galaxies in the Local Universe II. A Statistical Analysis of Environmental Properties

In our previous analysis we investigated the large-scale environment of two samples of radio galaxies (RGs) in the local Universe (i.e. with redshifts z<0.15), classified as FR I and FR II on the basis of their radio morphology. The analysis was carried out using i) extremely homogeneous catalogs and ii) a new method, known as cosmological overdensity, to investigate their large-scale environments. We concluded that, independently by the shape of their radio extended structure, RGs inhabit galaxy-rich large-scale environments with similar characteristics and richness. In the present work, we first highlight additional advantages of our procedure, that does not suffer cosmological biases and/or artifacts, and then we carry out an additional statistical test to strengthen our previous results. We also investigate properties of RG environments using those of the cosmological neighbors. We find that large-scale environments of both FRIs and FRIIs are remarkably similar and independent on the properties of central RG. Finally, we highlight the importance of comparing radio sources in the same redshift bins to obtain a complete overview of their large-scale environments.Comment: 15 pages, 21 figures, 3 tables, ApJS in press (pre-proof version

Plan de marketing de Tadan, aplicación móvil para encontrar promociones por geolocalización

El presente plan de negocios tiene como objetivo evaluar la viabilidad de Tadán en el mercado, una aplicación móvil que funciona por geolocalización. En ella, las promociones publicadas por las empresas podrán ser vistas por los usuarios que estén interesados y se encuentren cerca de la tienda mediante el uso de la geolocalización. A diferencia de otros servicios de promociones, esta solo permitirá que las notificaciones que le lleguen al usuario sean de productos relacionados a la categoría que este está buscando en ese momento en particular. La idea del proyecto nace de una tendencia global en la cual las personas han incorporado los smartphones a su estilo de vida, resolviendo cada vez más necesidades a través de las aplicaciones móviles. Sin embargo, actualmente las personas usan mayormente la tecnología para informarse antes de realizar una compra o comprar vía e-commerce; aún no la incorporan en su proceso de compra cuando visitan alguna tienda. Por ello, se busca optimizar la experiencia de compra del consumidor, para que pueda visualizar las promociones que le interesan más cercanas a su ubicación. Se realizó un análisis del macroentorno en el Perú, donde se encontró un ambiente favorable para el desarrollo de la aplicación, principalmente debido al desarrollo del entorno cultural (crecimiento sostenido de ‘smartphoneros’ en el Perú) y al desarrollo de facilidades tecnológicas que se han incrementado al día de hoy

Influence of the electric field on the latent heat of the ferroelectric phase transition in KDP

The specific heat, heat flux (DTA trace) and dielectric constant of KDP ferroelectric crystal have been measured simultaneously for various electric fields with a conduction calorimeter. The specific heat presents a strong anomaly but these simultaneous measurements allow us to evaluate the latent heat accurately. Latent heat decreases with field and the value of critical electric field --that where latent heat disappears-- is estimated to be (0.44\pm0.03) kV/cm. Incidentally, we have measured simultaneously the dielectric permittivity which suggests that latent heat is developed as domains are growing.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, ReVTeX, twocolumn format, to appear in J.

Powerful Radio Sources in the Southern Sky. II. A Swift X-Ray Perspective

We recently constructed the G4Jy-3CRE, a catalog of extragalactic radio sources based on the GLEAM 4-Jy (G4Jy) sample, with the aim of increasing the number of powerful radio galaxies and quasars with similar selection criteria to those of the revised release of the Third Cambridge Catalog (3CR). The G4Jy-3CRE consists of a total of 264 radio sources mainly visible from the Southern Hemisphere. Here, we present an initial X-ray analysis of 89 G4Jy-3CRE radio sources with archival X-ray observations from the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. We reduced a total of 624 Swift observations, for about 0.9 Ms of integrated exposure time. We found X-ray counterparts for 59 radio sources belonging to the G4Jy-3CRE, nine of them showing extended X-ray emission. The remaining 30 sources do not show any X-ray emission associated with their radio cores. Our analysis demonstrates that X-ray snapshot observations, even if lacking uniform exposure times, as those carried out with Swift, allow us to (i) verify and/or refine the host galaxy identification; (ii) discover the extended X-ray emission around radio galaxies of the intracluster medium when harbored in galaxy clusters, as the case of G4Jy 1518 and G4Jy 1664; and (iii) detect X-ray radiation arising from their radio lobes, as for G4Jy 1863

Hidden Treasures in the Unknown 3CR Extragalactic Radio Sky: A Multiwavelength Approach

We present the analysis of multiwavelength observations of seven extragalactic radio sources, listed as unidentified in the Third Cambridge Revised Catalog (3CR). X-ray observations, performed during Chandra Cycle 21, were compared to Very Large Array (VLA), Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, and Pan-STARRS observations in the radio, infrared, and optical bands, respectively. All sources in this sample lack a clear optical counterpart, and are thus missing their redshift and optical classification. In order to confirm the X-ray and infrared radio counterparts of core and extended components, here we present for the first time radio maps obtained manually reducing VLA archival data. As in previous papers on the Chandra X-ray snapshot campaign, we report X-ray detections of radio cores and two sources, out of the seven presented here, are found to be members of galaxy clusters. For these two cluster sources (namely, 3CR 409 and 3CR 454.2), we derived surface brightness profiles in four directions. For all seven sources, we measured X-ray intensities of the radio sources and we also performed standard X-ray spectral analysis for the four sources (namely, 3CR 91, 3CR 390, 3CR 409, and 3CR 428) with the brightest nuclei (more than 400 photons in the 2\u27\u27 nuclear region). We also detected extended X-ray emission around 3CR 390 and extended X-ray emission associated with the northern jet of 3CR 158. This paper represents the first attempt to give a multiwavelength view of the unidentified radio sources listed in the 3CR catalog
