Revisión histórica y perspectivas del Instituto de Biología Agrícola de Mendoza (IBAM): desde su creación en 2009 hasta el 2019

El Instituto de Biología Agrícola de Mendoza (IBAM) tiene la misión de generar conocimientos en aspectos básicos y aplicados a la agricultura de regadío y pertenece a la Universidad Nacional de Cuyo y al CONICET. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los artículos publicados en los 10 años desde la creación del Instituto. Para ello se recopilaron todas las publicaciones desde el 2009 a la actualidad y se trabajó con los datos que se desprendieron de los mismos, como el financiamiento, las colaboraciones, las disciplinas, el equipamiento, los indicadores de calidad de las revistas y el índice h del IBAM. Teniendo en cuenta el ranking de Scimago, se concluyó que el 58% de las publicaciones se encuentran en el cuartil 1 (Q1). En cuanto a las disciplinas, donde hubo más producción fueron las relacionadas con los cultivos de la región de Mendoza, como por ejemplo la vid, papa, ajo y olivo entre otras. El 94% del financiamiento para las publicaciones proviene de instituciones nacionales. Las colaboraciones interinstitucionales son principalmente con entes nacionales. El IBAM ha ido creciendo a lo largo de los 10 años en cuanto a recursos humanos como en la calidad de sus investigaciones.The Instituto de Biología Agrícola de Mendoza (IBAM) belongs to the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo and CONICET. It has the mission of generating knowledge in basic aspects and applied to irrigated agriculture. The purpose of this review is to analyze the articles published during 10 years, since its creation. All publications were collected from 2009 to the present and the outcoming data was evaluated according to funding, collaborations, disciplines, equipment, journal quality indicators and IBAM´s h-index. Taking the Scimago ranking into account, it was concluded that 58% of the publications are in quartile 1 (Q1). When the disciplines were analyzed, those related to the crops of the Mendoza region, such as vine, potato, garlic and olive, were the most studied. Most of the projects that finance publications come from national institutions. Interinstitutional collaborations are mainly with national entities. IBAM has been growing over the past 10 years in terms of human resources and in the quality of its research.Fil: Bertoldi, María Victoria. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

Un método Wavelet-Galerkin para ecuaciones diferenciales parciales parabólicas

In this paper an Adaptive Wavelet-Galerkin method for the solution ofparabolic partial differential equations modeling physical problems withdifferent spatial and temporal scales is developed. A semi-implicit timedifference scheme is applied andB-spline multiresolution structure on theinterval is used. As in many cases these solutions are known to presentlocalized sharp gradients, local error estimators are designed and an ef-ficient adaptive strategy to choose the appropriate scale for each time isdeveloped. Finally, experiments were performed to illustrate the applica-bility and efficiency of the proposed method.En este trabajo se desarrolla un método Wavelet-Galerkin Adaptativopara la resolución de ecuaciones diferenciales parabólicas que modelanproblemas físicos, con diferentes escalas en el espacio y en el tiempo.

Non-thermal processes in bowshocks of runaway stars. Application to Zeta Oph

Runaway massive stars are O- and B-type stars with high spatial velocities with respect to the interstellar medium. These stars can produce bowshocks in the surrounding gas. Bowshocks develop as arc-shaped structures, with bows pointing to the same direction as the stellar velocity, while the star moves supersonically through the interstellar gas. The piled-up shocked matter emits thermal radiation and a population of locally accelerated relativistic particles is expected to produce non-thermal emission over a wide range of energies. We aim to model the non-thermal radiation produced in these sources. Under some assumptions, we computed the non-thermal emission produced by the relativistic particles and the thermal radiation caused by free-free interactions, for O4I and O9I stars. We applied our model to Zeta Oph (HD 149757), an intensively studied massive star seen from the northern hemisphere. This star has spectral type O9.5V and is a well-known runaway. Spectral energy distributions of massive runaways are predicted for the whole electromagnetic spectrum. We conclude that the non-thermal radiation might be detectable at various energy bands for relatively nearby runaway stars, especially at high-energy gamma rays. Inverse Compton scattering with photons from the heated dust gives the most important contribution to the high-energy spectrum. This emission approaches Fermi sensitivities in the case of Zeta Oph.Comment: 11 pages, 11 figures.- Accepted for publication in A&A

Radical Fluoroalkylation Reactions

Recent protocols and reactions for catalytic radical perfluoroalkylations will be described. The production of perfluoroalkyl radicals (RF = CnF2n+1, n ≥ 2), which effect both addition and substitution reactions on organic substrates, can be realized through a range of diverse methods such as the well-established visible-light transition-metal-mediated photocatalysis, organic-dye-photocatalyzed reactions, electron donor-acceptor complexes, and more recently frustrated Lewis pairs. Thus, perfluoroalkylation reactions of carbon-carbon multiple bonds, isocyanides, nitrones, hydrazones, β-keto esters, α-cyano arylacetates, sulfides, and (hetero)arenes will be described. Special emphasis will be placed on examples published after 2015, where higher fluorinated series of fluoroalkylating reagents are studied.Fil: Barata Vallejo, Sebastian. Universidad de Buenos Aires.

From the classroom to an opinion note: complementary analysis of the genetic structure of the neotropical tree manilkara zapota (L) P. Royen (Sapotaceae)

Here, we describe a learning strategy that results an excellent choice for a first approach of students to produce scientific knowledge that can be confronted in the scientific field as well as recognize in this knowledge the transferability to the natural resources management. Nowadays, the availability of several Population Genetics software together with public molecular database represents a valuable tool of great assistance for teachers of this discipline. In this way, we implemented a lecture where the students worked with empirical data set from a recent published article. The students joined theoretical concepts learned, computational software free available and empirical data set. The development of the activity comprised four steps: i) estimate population genetics parameters using software recommended by teachers, ii) understand results in a biological sense, iii) read the original manuscript from dataset authors and iv) compare both results in a comprehensive way. The students assumed the challenge under a reflective look and they kept a very fruitful discussion playing a role of population geneticists. Their exchange of ideas allowed them arrive to the conclusion that Manilkara zapota populations keep high levels of genetic diversity, although Ancient Maya left traces in the genetic makeup of these non-native populations with different management histories.Fil: Barrandeguy, Maria Eugenia.

Nonparametric estimation betas in the Market Model

In this study an alternative nonparametric estimator to the Fama and MacBeth approach for the CAPM estimation is proposed. Betas and risk premiums are estimated simultaneously in order to increase the explanatory power of the proxy for betas. A data driven method is proposed for selecting the smoothness degrees, which are directly related to the subsample sizes. Based on this relation, the traditional estimator is obtained as a particular case. Contrary to the results obtained in other studies our empirical evidence for Spanish market data is favorable to the CAPM.smoothed rolling, betas, CAPM
