El patrimonio industrial vinculado con la presencia del agua. Similitudes y diferencias entre la provincia de Cádiz y la región de Abruzzo (Italia)

Para la comprensión de la evolución industrial de una región o provincia no solamente es necesaria una labor de documentación y difusión específica sino que creemos igual de necesaria una aproximación metodológica que permita el máximo aprovechamiento de los esfuerzos y recursos que se destinan a esta actividad. En esta ocasión se plantea realizar un análisis comparativo entre dos realidades concretas y alejadas las una de la otra, aunque como veremos con múltiples puntos de contacto, para ensayar nuevas metodologías que permitan una mejor y más eficaz labor de comprensión y protección del patrimonio industrial.Universidad de Málaga.

Study of performance of rice with system draper heads

En un establecimiento arrocero de la provincia de Corrientes se evaluó el desempeño de una cosechadora axial equipada con un cabezal de 25 pies con sistema draper. Se realizó cuatro tratamientos: cosechadora con cabezal 625D a velocidad 3 km/h (T1); 3,5 km/h (T2); 4 km/h (T3); 4,5 km/h (T4). Las variables en estudios (variables respuestas) fueron: pérdidas por cola, daño mecánico al grano, ruido. Las determinaciones de daño mecánico se realizó en cuatro lugares: draper, sinfines alimentadores del cilindro axial, extremo inferior de noria y tolva de almacenamiento. Para las determinaciones de ruido se realizó mediciones de acuerdo con las normas sugeridas por el Instituto de Ingeniería Rural del INTA Castelar. Conclusiones: 1) Los daños ocasionados a los granos, medidos como grano quebrado, tienen como principal responsable al mecanismo alimentador de sinfines. 2) El sistema draper se comportó en forma eficiente produciendo el conjunto draper, molinete y cuchillas de corte daños mínimos. 3) Los sistemas de alimentación (cabezal) y el sistema de trilla axial no mostraron saturación aún a las velocidades más altas de 4,5 km/h comportándose eficientemente. 4) A partir de los 3,2 km/h el sistema de separación y el de limpieza comenzaron a mostrar saturación elevándose las pérdidas en forma no proporcional. 5) El ruido para el operador dentro de la cabina satisface las normativas para realizar jornadas completas de labor demostrando un alto nivel de insonorización respecto del ruido exterior de la máquina.In a rice establishment of the province of Corrientes was evaluated an axial combine equipped with a head of 25 feet draper system. Four treatments were carried on: head 625D Combine at 3 km/h (T1), at 3.5 km/h (T2), 4 km/h (T3) and 4.5 km/h (T4). The variables under study were grain losses, grain mechanical damage and noise. Mechanical damage was determinated in four locations: draper, auger feeders axial cylinder, grain wheel and grain tank. The determination of noise was with standards suggested by the Institute of Rural Engineering INTA Castelar. Conclusions: 1) Damage to the grain is primarily responsible auger feeder mechanism. 2) The draper was working efficiently with minimal damage. 3) Feeding systems (head) and the axial threshing showed no saturation even at the highest speeds of 4.5 km/h. 4) From the 3.2 km/h the system of separation and cleaning began to show saturation. 5) The sound inside the cabin was not over the standards.Fil: Hidalgo, Ramón.

Las principales conclusiones fueron: 1) Los desparramadores centrífugos de caucho y metálico produjeron mejor distribución del material, 2) El uso de desmalezadora o rolo cuchilla sobre rastrojo de los tratamientos T3DC y T4DM aceleró la mineralización de los mismos. 3) Las dosis de urea causó poco incremento en la mineralización del rastrojo.The main purposes of this study were to: a) Find out how tools (deflectors, spreaders and choppers) can be used best for improving mineralization of stubble from harvesting rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown under direct sowing and b) Determine, for short periods, the amount of crop residues deposited on the surface and its mineralization time with various management techniques. The treatments were: harvester with spreader (T1DD), harvester without spreader (T2SDT), harvester with rubber centrifugal spreader (T3DC) and harvester with metal spreader (T4DM). Implemented alternatives: a) rotary weed cutter b) blade roller and c) burning crop residues. In the first two alternatives, three doses of urea were applied. The main results were: a) The harvester without spreader (T2SDT) deposited more material in the center of the tail (21680 kg ha-1), b) when distribution of crop residues from the (T3DC) was more uniform compared with the other treatments. The main conclusions were: 1) the rubber centrifugal spreader and metal spreader produced better distribution of the stubble, 2) The use of rotary weed cutter or blade roller on stubble distributed by harvesters T3DC and T4DM treatments caused accelerated mineralization of the same, 3) Urea doses caused little increase in mineralization of the rice stubble.Fil: Hidalgo, Ramón J..

EVIDENCE OF OPPORTUNISTIC FEEDING BETWEEN ICHTHYOSAURS AND THE OLDEST OCCURRENCE OF THE HEXANCHID SHARK NOTIDANODON FROM THE UPPER JURASSIC OF NORTHERN ITALY

In 2016, two fossil marine reptiles were re-discovered in the collections of the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Verona. Originally recovered near Asiago, Vicenza province (northern Italy) from an outcrop of the Rosso Ammonitico Veronese Fm. (Middle-Upper Jurassic), they were never described. Morphological analysis carried out under UV-light allowed enhancing contrast with the surrounding matrix and better identifying some anatomical details. Both specimens consist of partially articulated postcranial elements from two distinct ichthyosaurs, including vertebrae, ribs, and some fragmentary elements of the appendicular skeleton. The first specimen V7101 is here tentatively assigned to Ophthalmosauridae based on a combination of features shared with other taxa in this family, such as the regionalization of the vertebral column. Taphonomical analysis suggests a long exposure of the carcass on the sea floor before burial; two teeth of the hexanchiform shark Notidanodon found near the ribcage could indicate scavenging. An ichthyosaur tooth most probably not belonging to the same specimen was found stuck on a rib and can also be attributed to scavenging – the first ever record of this interaction between two ichthyosaurs. The second specimen V7102 is represented by a poorly preserved partial vertebral column and is here referred to Ichthyosauria indet. due to the absence of taxonomically significant characters. Calcareous nannofossil data and microfacies analyses allow us to assign both specimens to the basal Kimmeridgian. This makes the two Notidanodon teeth associated with V7101 the oldest recorded occurrence of this genus

Distributed X-ray dosimetry with optical fibers by Optical Frequency Domain Interferometry

This article reports on the first demonstration of in situ, real-time dosimetry realized with an enhanced backscatttering optical fiber, and a high resolution optical backscattering reflectometry measurement. This work is devised to overcome the current problems in monitoring radiotherapy treatments, in particular, the difficult evaluation of not only the actual X-ray dose that is accumulated on the target volume but also the distribution profile of the ionizing radiation beam. Overall, the research aims at developing a dose sensor with the most demanding features of small form factor, spatial profiling, and remote interrogation. The experiments have been conducted by evaluating the spatial profile of radiation-induced spectral shift of the Rayleigh backscattering along an optical fiber exposed to X-rays. The sensing element is a section of specialty optical fiber whose Rayleigh backscattering signature changes under ionizing radiation. The specialty fiber is designed to exhibit an enhanced backscattering, in order to overcome the poor sensitivity to radiation of standard optical fibers that are normally, used in telecommunications. The enhanced sensitivity is achieved by doping the core with either aluminum or magnesium nanoparticles, and two different fibers have been fabricated and tested. The experimental results show the capability of real time detection of the radiation profile from high-dose rates (700 Gy/min) to low-dose rates (2 Gy/min). Moreover, different sensing mechanisms and responses to high- and low-dose rates are evidenced. A comparison with a quasi-distributed sensing system based on an array of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) is discussed, highlighting the superior performance of the backscattering approach in terms of sensitivity and spatial resolution, whereas the array of FBGs exhibits an advantage in terms of sampling speed

Compact high-brightness and highly manufacturable blue laser modules

Blue laser diode sources have already proved to be an effective alternative for material processing, especially of high reflective materials, such as copper; now the challenge is to increase their power while improving brightness and reducing the cost-per-watt. The paper presents the development of a family of blue laser modules that, making use of the same platform and assembly lines of similar 9xx nm modules, can achieve an unprecedented combination of power, brightness, compactness and cost reduction. These modules rely on a proprietary architecture to combine a plurality of chips through spatial and polarization multiplexing, obtaining up to 100W of output power in a 100 μm fiber. Preliminary experimental results for module making use of spatial multiplexing report 35W output power in a 50 μm fiber

Preliminary investigation of radiation dose sensors based on aluminum-doped silicate optical fibers

The paper reports on the first demonstration of in-situ, real-time dosimetry realized with an enhanced back-scattering optical fiber and a high-resolution optical back-scattering reflectometry measurement. This work is devised to overcome the current problems in monitoring radiotherapy treatments, in particular the difficult evaluation of not only the actual x-ray dose that is accumulated on the target volume, but also the distribution profile of the ionizing radiation beam. The experiments have been conducted by evaluating the radiation-induced spectral shift of the Rayleigh back-scattering along the fiber under test during x-ray exposure, in a radiation chamber. The sensing region is a section of aluminum-doped silicate fiber, that overcomes the poor sensitivity to radiation of standard, germanium-doped, silicate fibers for telecom applications. The preliminary results show that it is possible to remotely track the x-ray dose at high dose rates (700 Gy/min) and at rates closer to therapeutic values (22 Gy/min). A linear relationship between accumulated dose and spectral shift has been found. This research aims at developing a dose sensor with the most demanding features of small form factor, spatial profiling and remote interrogation

Use of a customized app to assess communication in children with ASD: AppTEA

El uso de dispositivos digitales para tratar a personas con trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) tiene buena aceptación, pero hasta el momento no se han registrado investigaciones en Argentina que analicen empíricamente su aporte en cuanto a los comportamientos comunicativos. El objetivo de esta investigación consistió en evaluar la implicación de los dispositivos digitales por lo que respecta a dos parámetros conductuales: la postura y el foco atencional de niños con TEA. Para llevarlo a cabo se analizaron 211 sesiones (vídeos) de 11 niños (edad, Media = 6.45 años, DE = 1.30) durante la utilización de la aplicación AppTEA y dispositivos tradicionales en interacciones con profesionales, en el contexto de unas actividades terapéuticas. Como resultado se encontró que en las sesiones, los niveles y las tendencias de postura y el foco atencional fueron similares, independientemente de los dispositivos empleados. Por lo tanto, si bien las tecnologías y los softwares específicos pueden complementar y apoyar los objetivos terapéuticos, no pueden sustituir el cuidado humano y el apoyo social y terapéutico para los niños.Introduction: There are many well-established digital tools for the treatment of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but so far there no investigations in Argentina that have empirically analyzed how these tools contribute to communicative behaviors. Objectives: The objective was to evaluate the implications of digital devices for two behavioral parameters, the posture and attentional focus of children with ASD. Methods: 211 sessions with 11 children (Age, M= 6.45 years, SD = 1.30) were analyzed. The sessions consisted of the use of the AppTEA application and traditional devices in interactions with professionals, in the context of therapeutic activities. Results: It was found that in the sessions with and without the tablet, the levels and trends of posture and attention focus were similar, regardless of the devices used. Conclusion: Although specific technologies and software can complement and support therapeutic objectives, they cannot replace human care and the social and therapeutic support to children.Fil: Guzman, Guido Benjamin.
