Electro-oxidacion de fenol en una columna de burbujeo de flujo paralelo descendente

TESIS DOCTORALIn the context of water remediation, advanced oxidation processes have been proven to be an effective solution. In most of the cases, however, the reaction systems are usually highly expensive, because of the addition of chemical substances or energy consumption. This usually constrains their application at an industrial scale. This has motivated several researchers to develop technologies able not only to intensify the processes but able also to increase the sustainability of the whole process. In this sense, this work aimed to assess a relatively novel technology, a Downflow Bubble Column Electrochemical Reactor (DBCER), in the mineralization of a rather typical organic pollutant, phenol. The studied variables were: current density (20-60 mA/cm2), electrolyte concentration (0-0.01 M), recirculation of the liquid phase (4.7 and 6 L/min) and pH (3 and 7). The response variables were total organic carbon (TOC), phenol and by-products concentration, oxidant species concentration (O2, H2O2 and O3). Some hydrodynamic parameters and volumetric mass transfer coefficient were also determined, such as the bubble diameter and volume fraction of gas. The highest mineralization degree was around 75 % under pH 3, 60 mA/cm2, 4.7 L/min and an electrolyte concentration of 0.05 M. Under these conditions, it was figured out that the phenol oxidation occurs mainly by ozone attack and the main remaining compound was oxalic acid. Although at pH 7 the mineralization degree was lower than at pH 3, it was demonstrated by a biotoxicity study on Cyprinus carpio that the original toxicity was significantly decreased. Thus, it was demonstrated that the DBCER can be applied at a pre-pilot scale, in the electro-oxidation process, in which in-situ generation of O2, H2O2 and O3. Because of the unique design of this reactor, the electrogenerated gases can be better utilized than in other reactors. An application to intellectually protect the developed technology was submitted to IMPI and the number of the application is Mx/a/2017/012722.CONACYT 168305 Y 26909

Una perspectiva multidisciplinaria

Derivado de la necesidad de fomentar la investigación multidisciplinaria, la Facultad de Economía de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México llevó a cabo los días 8 y 9 de septiembre de 2016, el VIII Coloquio de Investigación intitulado “Desarrollo económico, regional y sustentable”. En este magno evento se presentaron 36 ponencias agrupadas en cinco mesas de trabajo: sectores productivos, crecimiento económico y mercado de trabajo; tecnología, innovación y organizaciones; desigualdad regional, pobreza y migración; economía financiera e internacional; y medio ambiente y sociedad. Del material expuesto en el VIII Coloquio, se eligieron 16 investigaciones, mismas que integran este libro. Los estudios presentados en cada uno de los subsiguientes capítulos fueron seleccionados de acuerdo a un proceso de rigurosidad científica, siendo sometidos a dictamen por pares ciegos a partir de la integración de un Comité Académico de expertos. Lo anterior con la finalidad de proporcionar al lector un material de investigación de calidad y solidez científica respecto a temas de trascendencia vinculados con los sectores productivos, la innovación, las organizaciones, la responsabilidad social, la desigualdad, la educación y el medioambiente.Consecuencia de la apertura de los mercados y los preceptos competitivos dictados por la globalización, se manifiesta la necesidad de vincular los diversos saberes provenientes de las ciencias naturales y sociales, con el fin de complementar el conocimiento y generar nuevas formas de visualizar el entorno. A raíz de ello, la investigación multidisciplinaria asume un papel cada vez más importante en los círculos académicos, empresariales y gubernamentales. En este marco, entra en desuso la visualización del individuo como un sujeto atomístico desvinculado del medio ambiente que le rodea. El objetivo de este libro es otorgar una visión multidisciplinaria al estudio de temas económicos incorporando visiones teóricas y empíricas procedentes de las ciencias sociales y naturales. La obra está compuesta por 16 capítulos agrupados en cuatro secciones. La primera parte, conglomera cinco capítulos en torno a los tópicos sectores productivos y crecimiento económico.Facultad de Economía. Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Méxic

The xanthomonas citri pv. citri type VI secretion system is induced during epiphytic colonization of citrus

Xanthomonas citri pv. citri (X. citri pv. citri) is the causal agent of Asiatic citrus canker and infects economically important citrus crops. X. citri pv. citri contains one type VI secretion system (T6SS) required for resistance to predation by the soil amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum and induced by the ECF sigma factor EcfK in the presence of amoeba. In this work, we describe the analysis of T6SS gene expression during interaction with host plants. We show that T6SS genes and the cognate positive regulator ecfK are upregulated during growth in the plant surface (epiphytic) and maintain low expression levels during growth inside plant mesophyll. In addition, expression of the virulence-associated T3SS is also induced during epiphytic growth and shows a temporal induction pattern during growth inside plant leaves. The T6SS is not required for adhesion to leaf surface and biofilm formation during the first stages of plant colonization nor for killing of yeasts cells. Since the phyllosphere is colonized by eukaryotic predators of bacteria, induction of the X. citri pv. citri anti-amoeba T6SS during epiphytic growth suggests the presence of an environmental signal that triggers the resistance phenotype761011051111CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal e Nível SuperiorFAPESP – Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa Do Estado De São Paulonão tem2011/07777-5; 2014/19720-6; 2018/01852-4; 2014/25261-4; 2017/02318-9; 2011/22571-4; 2016/08400-

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data
