Efecto de Pyraclostrobin+Epoxiconazole en la producción de fresa (Fragaria sp.)

Cundinamarca has been a big producer of strawberry (Fragaria sp.) in contrast to the other departments of Colombia. Yet one of its major constraints is the lost fruit caused by the gray mold disease, developed by the Botrytis cinerea agent. Therefore, it was applied Pyraclostrobin+Epoxiconazole®, to the plantations, in three doses which were compared with a regional witness Carbendazim®, with the study variables: production, quality, brix degrees, pH, titratable acidity and the disease incidence on the crop. The results obtained and analyzed by SAS software and applying the Tukey comparison test, showed that the dose of pyraclostrobin+epoxiconazole with 80cc/200L, had the highest fruit production of second, and third class, and as a whole. Aldo the lowest total amount of fruit damaged, along with the dose of 120cc/200L. While the lower total production and quality was obtained with the dose of carbendazim (250cc/200L).In terms of  brix degrees, no significant differences were found, but an increase over the four crop weeks. The pH and ATT highest values, were obtained with doses of pyraclostrobin+ epoxiconazole® and the lowest values with applications of carbendazim (250 cc/200 L). It is recommended these ingredients applications in the management of gray mold disease (Botrytis cinerea).Cundinamarca ha sido un gran productor de fresa(Fragaria sp),en comparación con los demás departamentos de Colombia, pero uno de sus mayores limitantes es la pérdida de fruta causada por el moho gris, enfermedad desarrollada por el agente Botritis cinerea, por esta razón, se aplicó Pyraclostrobin+Epoxiconazole® a los cultivos, en tres dosis, y se compararon con un testigo regional, Carbendazim®, teniendo como variables de estudio: producción, calidad, grados Brix, pH, acidez titulable y la incidencia de la enfermedad sobre el cultivo. Los resultados obtenidos y analizados por medio del software SAS y aplicando las pruebas de comparación de Tukey demostraron que la dosis de Pyraclostrobin+Epoxiconazole® de 80cc/200L presentó la mayor producción de fruta de segunda, tercera y total, y la menor cantidad de fruta dañada, junto con la dosis de 120cc/200L. La menor producción total y por calidad se obtuvo con la dosis de Carbendazim® (250cc/200L). En cuanto a los grados Brix, no se encontraron diferencias significativas, pero sí un aumento durante las cuatro semanas de cosecha. Los valores más altos de pH y ATT se obtuvieron con las dosis de Pyraclostrobin+Epoxiconazole®, y los menores valores, con las aplicaciones de Carbendazim® (250cc/200L).Se recomienda hacer aplicaciones de estos ingredientes en el manejo de la enfermedad moho gris

Phenology and growth flower of Dianthus caryophyllus L. cv. ‘MOON LIGHT’ under greenhouse

Carnation crop in Colombia is one of the main income generating activities in Colombian floriculture. However, the growth dynamics and its relationship with thermal time are unknown. For this reason, the objective of this research was to determine the growth and development of carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) cv. ‘Moon Light’ in thermal time when grown in a greenhouse in Bogotá savanna. This research was developed based on the phenological stages and accumulation of Growing Degree Days (GDD). Fresh and dry weight accumulation is fitted to a logistic model that generated a sigmoid type curve. The carnation flower cv. ‘Moon light’ presented a constant accumulation of dry weight from 15.3 GDD (stage 0 rice) to 777.6 GDD (cut point). The Absolute Growth Rate (AGR) increased slowly during phase I. It presents a rapid and constant gain until reaching the cut-off point with a value of 0.035 g per GDC and an accumulation of 777.6 GDC. The Relative Growth Rate (RGR) presented a continuous decrease with an initial value of 0.0049 g g-1 per GDD in the bullet stage and a value of 0.0024 g g-1 per GDD at the cut-off point. Through the results obtained, the floriculture sector will have a technical tool within the productive projection of the carnation variety ‘Moon Light’ grown in a greenhous

The notion of equipartition of fraction and its verification tools in a musical context

El objetivo de esta investigación consiste en analizar la construcción de la noción de equipartición en estudiantes de primaria, a través de objetos musicales. Este interés surgió al observar que los métodos utilizados en la actualidad para la enseñanza de las fracciones no ofrecen un mecanismo de comprobación de la existencia o no de la equidad de las partes. Por lo tanto, en este estudio se pretende proveer a los estudiantes de diversas herramientas para identificar las consecuencias acústicas que surgen del incumplimiento de la equipartición. Las mismas pueden ser representadas de forma visual, corporales y auditiva. Esta investigación de tipo cualitativo y desarrollo curricular se realizó con estudiantes de 4º y 5º grado de educación primaria en un contexto rural, ubicada al occidente de Antioquia, Colombia. Dentro de los hallazgos de la investigación, se considera que los estudiantes inmersos en un mundo interdisciplinar real adquieren herramientas físicas y simbólicas para determinar la existencia o no de una equipartición. Es así como los escenarios diferentes a los tradicionales, dotados de experiencias y representaciones, logran contribuir a la construcción de la noción de equipartición en los estudiantes.The objective of this research is to analyze the construction of the concept of equipartition in elementary students, through musical objects. This interest arose upon observing that the methods currently used to teach fractions do not offer a mechanism for checking the existence of the equality of the parties. Therefore, this study aims to provide students with various tools to identify the acoustic consequences that arise from non-compliance with equipartition. They can be represented in a visual, bodily, and auditory way. This qualitative research with curricular development was conducted among 4th and 5th graders of elementary school in a rural context. The findings of the research include the fact that students, by immersing themselves in a real interdisciplinary world, acquire physical and symbolic tools to determine the existence or not of a equipartition. This is how scenarios other than the traditional ones, endowed with experiences and representations, contribute to the construction of the notion of equipartition in students

ECMO for COVID-19 patients in Europe and Israel

Since March 15th, 2020, 177 centres from Europe and Israel have joined the study, routinely reporting on the ECMO support they provide to COVID-19 patients. The mean annual number of cases treated with ECMO in the participating centres before the pandemic (2019) was 55. The number of COVID-19 patients has increased rapidly each week reaching 1531 treated patients as of September 14th. The greatest number of cases has been reported from France (n = 385), UK (n = 193), Germany (n = 176), Spain (n = 166), and Italy (n = 136) .The mean age of treated patients was 52.6 years (range 16–80), 79% were male. The ECMO configuration used was VV in 91% of cases, VA in 5% and other in 4%. The mean PaO2 before ECMO implantation was 65 mmHg. The mean duration of ECMO support thus far has been 18 days and the mean ICU length of stay of these patients was 33 days. As of the 14th September, overall 841 patients have been weaned from ECMO support, 601 died during ECMO support, 71 died after withdrawal of ECMO, 79 are still receiving ECMO support and for 10 patients status n.a. . Our preliminary data suggest that patients placed on ECMO with severe refractory respiratory or cardiac failure secondary to COVID-19 have a reasonable (55%) chance of survival. Further extensive data analysis is expected to provide invaluable information on the demographics, severity of illness, indications and different ECMO management strategies in these patients

Bose-Einstein correlations of charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt s = 13 TeV

Bose-Einstein correlations of charged hadrons are measured over a broad multiplicity range, from a few particles up to about 250 reconstructed charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV. The results are based on data collected using the CMS detector at the LHC during runs with a special low-pileup configuration. Three analysis techniques with different degrees of dependence on simulations are used to remove the non-Bose-Einstein background from the correlation functions. All three methods give consistent results. The measured lengths of homogeneity are studied as functions of particle multiplicity as well as average pair transverse momentum and mass. The results are compared with data from both CMS and ATLAS at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV, as well as with theoretical predictions.[graphic not available: see fulltext]Bose-Einstein correlations of charged hadrons are measured over a broad multiplicity range, from a few particles up to about 250 reconstructed charged hadrons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV.

An embedding technique to determine ττ backgrounds in proton-proton collision data

An embedding technique is presented to estimate standard model tau tau backgrounds from data with minimal simulation input. In the data, the muons are removed from reconstructed mu mu events and replaced with simulated tau leptons with the same kinematic properties. In this way, a set of hybrid events is obtained that does not rely on simulation except for the decay of the tau leptons. The challenges in describing the underlying event or the production of associated jets in the simulation are avoided. The technique described in this paper was developed for CMS. Its validation and the inherent uncertainties are also discussed. The demonstration of the performance of the technique is based on a sample of proton-proton collisions collected by CMS in 2017 at root s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 41.5 fb(-1).Peer reviewe

Search for dark matter in events with a leptoquark and missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV

A search is presented for dark matter in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of root s= 13 TeV using events with at least one high transverse momentum (p(T)) muon, at least one high-p(T) jet, and large missing transverse momentum. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2016 and 2017, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 77.4 fb(-1). In the examined scenario, a pair of scalar leptoquarks is assumed to be produced. One leptoquark decays to a muon and a jet while the other decays to dark matter and low-p(T) standard model particles. The signature for signal events would be significant missing transverse momentum from the dark matter in conjunction with a peak at the leptoquark mass in the invariant mass distribution of the highest p(T) muon and jet. The data are observed to be consistent with the background predicted by the standard model. For the first benchmark scenario considered, dark matter masses up to 500 GeV are excluded for leptoquark masses m(LQ) approximate to 1400 GeV, and up to 300 GeV for m(LQ) approximate to 1500 GeV. For the second benchmark scenario, dark matter masses up to 600 GeV are excluded for m(LQ) approximate to 1400 GeV. (C) 2019 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.Peer reviewe

Measurement of electroweak WZ boson production and search for new physics in WZ + two jets events in pp collisions at √s=13TeV

A measurement of WZ electroweak (EW) vector boson scattering is presented. The measurement is performed in the leptonic decay modes WZ→ℓνℓ′ℓ′, where ℓ,ℓ′=e,μ. The analysis is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV at the LHC collected with the CMS detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The WZ plus two jet production cross section is measured in fiducial regions with enhanced contributions from EW production and found to be consistent with standard model predictions. The EW WZ production in association with two jets is measured with an observed (expected) significance of 2.2 (2.5) standard deviations. Constraints on charged Higgs boson production and on anomalous quartic gauge couplings in terms of dimension-eight effective field theory operators are also presented

Studies of Beauty Suppression via Nonprompt D-0 Mesons in Pb-Pb Collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV

The transverse momentum spectra of D-0 mesons from b hadron decays are measured at midrapidity (vertical bar y vertical bar D-0 yield is found to be suppressed in the measured p(T) range from 2 to 100 GeV/c as compared to pp collisions. The suppression is weaker than that of prompt D-0 mesons and charged hadrons for p(T) around 10 GeV/c. While theoretical calculations incorporating partonic energy loss in the quark-gluon plasma can successfully describe the measured B -> D-0 suppression at higher p(T), the data show an indication of larger suppression than the model predictions in the range of 2 <p(T) <5 GeV/c.Peer reviewe
