Evaluación de materiales impresos para la enseñanza de la química II. Diseño del instrumento. Aspectos semánticos
Authors: Reverdito Ana M. , Lorenzo María Gabriela
Published: September 2018

Los materiales impresos (MI) constituyen un recurso didáctico insustituible en toda propuesta pedagógica, en particular, en el nivel universitario donde el contacto profesor alumno es limitado. Sin embargo, la lectura de libros de texto, los apuntes o guías de problemas de asignaturas científicas como la química no conduce a la comprensión automática como pareciera esperarse. En los primeros años de universidad, esto puede deberse tanto a la inadecuación de los conocimientos previos de los estudiantes como a las características propias de los textos.

¡Qué indiscreción! Empezar preguntando la edad¼ Y peor si el susodicho es realmente viejo. ¿Cuánto le echan? ¡Hagan sus apuestas! ¿5 mil años? ¿10 mil? ¿100 mil? ¿un millón? ¿100 millones? Fríos, fríos ¡congelados! El oro, como todos los elementos después del hierro, se produce en el corazón de las estrellas. Éstas pasan la mayor parte de su vida transformando hidrógeno en helio. La energía que se libera de este proceso sirve para contrarrestar el efecto de la atracción gravitacional hacia el interior de las estrellas...
Investigación básica vs. investigación aplicada ¿una antinomia falsa?
Authors: Garritz Andoni
Published: September 2018

¿Son dos fenómenos ajenos la investigación básica y la aplicada? ¿Existe una contradicción entre estas dos supuestas formas de concebir la investigación? ¿O se hace una o se hace la otra? Podemos responder afirmativamente a estas tres preguntas, en cuyo caso nos enfrentamos a una antinomia real, o, por el contrario, podemos negar las tres, al encontrar que es imposible caracterizar como independientes ambos tipos de investigación, al hallar ejemplos de investigación supuestamente básica que inclusive nos lleva a desarrollos tecnológicos, en cuyo caso estamos frente a una antinomia falsa.

El arte de resolver problemas
Authors: Córdova Frunz José Luis
Published: September 2018

Hay una abundante literatura acerca de los métodos y estrategias de resolución de problemas para diferentes disciplinas. Sin embargo, hay poco escrito acerca de los hábitos cotidianos del sujeto y su relación con las estrategias que emplea para resolver problemas (por no hablar de sus creencias, valores y actitudes). Este ensayo presenta algunas de las prácticas diarias (más algunos principios) que intervienen en el arte de resolver problemas; suponemos que difícilmente podrá resolver un problema quien no ha incorporado las variables de aprendizaje a su quehacer cotidiano. Concluye con algunos comentarios de personas creativas acerca de su proceso de resolución de problemas.
Debate sobre cómo cambiar los textos de química para el siglo XXI
Authors: Garritz Andoni
Published: September 2018

Un interesante debate éste en el que me ha metido el profesor Mansoor Niaz, sobre la necesidad de cambiar los textos de química y de qué manera se pueden lograr estos cambios. Nos apunta Niaz en su artículo en este mismo número que tanto los docentes como los autores de los textos, enseñan la química tal como ellos la estudiaron. Esta enseñanza es muy ceñida a la tradición empirista y tiene muy poco que ver con la naturaleza de la ciencia, que se basa en la búsqueda de los diferentes factores que inciden en la construcción de las teorías científicas.

Analogías en la enseñanza del equilibrio químico
Authors: Garritz Andoni , Raviolo Andrés
Published: September 2018

En química, así como en todas las ciencias y en la vida diaria, se emplean analogías, metáforas o modelos para ayudar a explicar un fenómeno que no es observable. Sin embargo, nos dicen Treagust, Duit y Nieswandt (2000) que la literatura sobre la utilización de analogías en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la ciencia es ambivalente acerca de la validez o invalidez de la presentación de analogías sencillas o múltiples como la mejor manera de enseñar (Goswami, 1993; Zook, 1991).

John James Waterston. A pioneer of the kinetic theory of gases
Authors: Wisniak Jaime
Published: September 2018

John James Waterston (1811-1883) puede ser considerado el último de los pioneros de la teoría cinética. El mejoró en forma notable la teoría desarrollada por Herapath y demostró que la velocidad cuadrática media de las moléculas de un gas, puro o mezclado, está conectada directamente con su temperatura absoluta. Fue el primero en publicar el teorema de equipartición de la energía y demostró cómo su teoría podía ser utilizada para calcular la velocidad del sonido así como el diámetro de una molécula. Lamentablemente su publicación fundamental sufrió el mismo destino que la de Herapath: su rechazo por la Sociedad Real y, por tanto, desconocida por el mundo científico. Afortunadamente, Lord Rayleigh la encontró y publicó años después de la muerte de Waterston.

Modeling noise and error correction for Majorana-based quantum computing
Authors: Knapp Christina , Beverland Michael , Pikulin Dmitry I. , Karzig Torsten
Published: September 2018

Majorana-based quantum computing seeks to use the non-local nature of Majorana zero modes to store and manipulate quantum information in a topologically protected way. While noise is anticipated to be significantly suppressed in such systems, finite temperature and system size result in residual errors. In this work, we connect the underlying physical error processes in Majorana-based systems to the noise models used in a fault tolerance analysis. Standard qubit-based noise models built from Pauli operators do not capture leading order noise processes arising from quasiparticle poisoning events, thus it is not obviousa priorithat such noise models can be usefully applied to a Majorana-based system. We develop stochastic Majorana noise models that are generalizations of the standard qubit-based models and connect the error probabilities defining these models to parameters of the physical system. Using these models, we compute pseudo-thresholds for thed=5Bacon-Shor subsystem code. Our results emphasize the importance of correlated errors induced in multi-qubit measurements. Moreover, we find that for sufficiently fast quasiparticle relaxation the errors are well described by Pauli operators. This work bridges the divide between physical errors in Majorana-based quantum computing architectures and the significance of these errors in a quantum error correcting code.
Electro-mechanical Casimir effect
Authors: Sanz Mikel , Wieczorek Witlef , Gröblacher Simon , Solano Enrique
Published: September 2018

The dynamical Casimir effect is an intriguing phenomenon in which photons are generated from vacuum due to a non-adiabatic change in some boundary conditions. In particular, it connects the motion of an accelerated mechanical mirror to the generation of photons. While pioneering experiments demonstrating this effect exist, a conclusive measurement involving a mechanical generation is still missing. We show that a hybrid system consisting of a piezoelectric mechanical resonator coupled to a superconducting cavity may allow to electro-mechanically generate measurable photons from vacuum, intrinsically associated to the dynamical Casimir effect. Such an experiment may be achieved with current technology, based on film bulk acoustic resonators directly coupled to a superconducting cavity. Our results predict a measurable photon generation rate, which can be further increased through additional improvements such as using superconducting metamaterials.
GENETIC DIVERSITY IN SODIUM AZIDE INDUCED WHEAT MUTANTS STUDIED BY SSR MARKERS
Authors: ŞEN Ayşe , SARSU Fatma
Published: September 2018

Mutations
induced artificially way are one of the tools used to increase genetic
variation in populations where genetic variation has been shrinking especially
due to various reasons one of which is domestication. In this study, Simple
Sequence Repeats (SSRs) markers were used to screen genetic diversity in sodium
azide (NaN3) induced fourteen fourth-generation advanced wheat
mutant lines. The mean values of polymorphism rate (29.44%), polymorphic
information content (PIC; 0.82), marker index (MI; 1.95) and resolving power
(Rp; 1.31) were calculated according to SSR marker profiles. Two SSRs, Xwmc170
and Xcfd6, were detected as the most polymorphic markers, Xgwm626 proved the highest PIC and MI values,
and Xcfd6 gave the highest Rp value. Unweighted
Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) dendrogram classified 15 plants
into four groups. The Principle Component Analysis (PCA) showed 88.9% of the
total genetic variation. The results obtained in the present study might be
useful for determining the efficiency of NaN3 for creating mutant
wheat lines with enough genetic variability to implement wheat-breeding
programs as germplasm resources.

Authors: Ogunjinmi Adekunle Anthony , Braimoh Charity Omokeme
Published: September 2018

This study assessed the level of community awareness and participation in ecotourism in Old Oyo National Park, Nigeria. Data were collected in communities located in four ranges (i.e. administrative and protection zones) of Old Oyo National Park, Oyo State, Southwest Nigeria. The ranges are Tede, Marguba, Sepeteri, and Oyo-Ile. Seven (7) communities out of 27 that are in Tede range were selected, eight (8) were selected from 12 communities in Marguba range, eight (8) were selected from 17 communities in Sepeteri range while eight (8) were selected from 30 communities in Oyo Ile range. The study was a questionnaire survey involving 150 respondents that were randomly selected from communities in the four (4) ranges of the Park. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey’s HSD, t-test and logistic regression. Results revealed that 48% of the respondents were aware of ecotourism while 52% were not. Also, 46% participated in ecotourism while 54% did not participate. A relationship exists between ecotourism awareness and participation (p<0.01). Community type (p<0.01) was the only predictor of community awareness of ecotourism while community type (p<0.01) and awareness (p<0.01) were the predictors of participation in ecotourism in the park. Awareness, active involvement of communities in stakeholder meetings, decision-making and provision of start-up capital are important for ecotourism development in the park.
Dialogic competence as a stylistic category
Authors: Bohunická Alena
Published: September 2018

Our contribution is based on an assumption that the ability to conduct a dialogue is determined by a complex of linguistic and non-linguistic predispositions. In the forefront of our considerations there is a question we have identified as a dialogue (dialogic) competence. Dialogic competence in our perception consists of three core components: an organisational part of dialogue and its corresponding conversational competence, a pragmatic part and ability to cooperate, and finally a social part of dialogue and empathy or maintaining the accommodation-assimilation proportion in a dialogue. In the frame of these components, we suggest research issues for interactional stylistics that could provide a base of knowledge useful for application areas as well as social practice when cultivating the dialogic competence.
Generalized Method of Moments Estimators for Multiple Treatment Effects Using Observational Data from Complex Surveys
Authors: Liu Bin , Yu Cindy Long , Price Michael Joseph , Jiang Yan
Published: September 2018

In this article, we consider a generalized method moments (GMM) estimator to estimate treatment effects defined through estimation equations using an observational data set from a complex survey. We demonstrate that the proposed estimator, which incorporates both sampling probabilities and semiparametrically estimated self-selection probabilities, gives consistent estimates of treatment effects. The asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator is established in the finite population framework, and its variance estimation is discussed. In simulations, we evaluate our proposed estimator and its variance estimator based on the asymptotic distribution. We also apply the method to estimate the effects of different choices of health insurance types on healthcare spending using data from the Chinese General Social Survey. The results from our simulations and the empirical study show that ignoring the sampling design weights might lead to misleading conclusions.
Hybrid Attitude Coordination Controller for Multiple-Spacecraft Systems with Hyperbolic-Tangent Distributed Observer
Authors: Zhang Yao , Tang Shengjing , Guo Jie
Published: September 2018

This paper investigates the leader-following attitude consensus problem for a multiple-spacecraft system. Based on Lyapunov theory and homogeneous technique, quaternion-based hybrid globally finite-time feedback coordination controllers are proposed when at least one follower can access the leader’s attitude and velocity relative to the inertial space. To simplify the conventional design of the attitude consensus law, a nonlinear distributed observer is proposed by using a hyperbolic tangent function to estimate the leader’s states for each follower spacecraft. The observer possesses finite-time convergence property and thus provides accurate estimations without chattering for each follower. In the following, without direct access to the leader, quaternion-based hybrid feedback controllers recently designed for single spacecraft are developed and then applied, by integrating with the proposed distributed observer, to track the leader’s attitude motion. As a result, global finite-time attitude coordination controllers are achieved on the entire attitude manifold, with either full-state measurements or biased angular velocity measurements, as long as the communication topology among the followers is undirected and connected. Extensive simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control schemes.

Published: September 2018

Neste trabalho investigamos a trajetória de uma escola particular fundada pelo professor Jerônimo Arantes em Uberlândia durante a primeira República (1919-1933), o Colégio Amor às Letras. Para a realização da pesquisa, consultamos a documentação impressa (atas das reuniões escolares, diários de classe, jornais, revistas, provas de exames finais, fotografias e outros) e também as fontes orais. Embora localizado em Uberlândia, não podemos perder de vista que o Colégio Amor às Letras inseria-se em um contexto nacional de debates entre os defensores de uma escola renovada em métodos e conteúdos e os partidários da manutenção de uma escola organizada sob propostas tradicionais. Nesse sentido, a análise da trajetória da escola do professor Arantes, nessa mesma época, sugeriu a seguinte problematização: face ao embate entre os princípios da escola tradicional, criticada pelos reformadores, e os alardeados pressupostos de uma pedagogia renovada, em métodos e conteúdos, como se movimentou Arantes em seu colégio?

İlkel toplumların oluşturduğu yerleşimlerden
günümüz kentlerine kadar toplumların kültürel, ekonomik ve fiziksel yönden
birçok aktivitede bulunduğu kent meydanları, kentlerin kimliğini yansıtan
önemli kentsel mekânlardır. Plansız büyüyen kentler, tarihsel süreçte sahip
oldukları ve onları birbirinden farklı kılan kimlik bileşenlerini zamanla kaybetmektedir.
Tarihin her döneminde ve her toplumda farklı şekillerde ortaya çıkan kentsel
açık alanların son ve en güzel örneklerinden birisi kent meydanlarıdır.
Çalışmanın çıkış noktası kent meydanı bulunmayan kentlerde, kent kimliğinin
kent meydanları üzerinde etkisinin neler olabileceği düşüncesi oluşturmuştur.
Alanya İskele-Rıhtım bölgesi özelinde yapılan mekânsal analizler ve anket
neticesinde; bölgenin mevcut durumda kentin odak merkezlerinden olup, sosyal ve
kültürel aktiviteleri karşılamada yetersiz kaldığı, içerisinde iki adet küçük
meydanlar bulunduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu meydanların kent büyümesi ile ilişkilendirildiğinde
yetersiz kaldığı, ulaşım sistemi ve görsel değerleri incelenmiştir. Anket
çalışmaları neticesinde ise, kullanıcıların olmasını istedikleri kültürel değer
ve aktivitelerin, ekonomik faaliyetlerin, çalışma alanı ile ilgili diğer istek
ve beklentilerinin neler olabileceği hakkında veriler elde edilmiştir. Bu
çalışmanın sonucunda; İskele-Rıhtım Bölgesi ve çevresindeki kentsel odaklar ile
bütünleşme sağlayamadığı, toplumsal ihtiyaçlara kentin kimliği ile örtüşen
özelliklere meydan olarak cevap veremediği, sosyal ve kültürel özellikleri ile
çevresel ve toplumsal kimlik bileşenleri doğrultusunda birer odak noktası

Published: September 2018

Flood disaster occurred on December 21, 2016, December 23, 2016, and January 2, 2017 in Bima city area, covering Mpunda district, Rasanae Timur district, Asakota district, Rasanae Barat district, and Raba district. The urban area is the most affected area of flash flood, mainly residential areas that are located more than 50 meters from the flood plains, with flood heights ranging from 1 to 4 meters. The main factor that caused flood disaster is high rainfall. In addition to the hydrometeorological factor, flood in Bima city was caused by various factors, including its location at a basin area, flood plains that are utilized for settlements nowadays, silting downstreams, poor management of drainage systems, reduced vegetation-cover in the upstream, and narrowing of river bodies. Looking at the problems and challenges of the hydrometeorological disaster, this research aims to recommend adaptation and mitigation for flood disaster and space utilization conversion in disaster prone areas of Bima city. Analytical methods used in this research includes participatory mapping to delineate the flood affected area, HEC-RAS and HEC-GEORAS to map and model flood hazards, and quantitative descriptive to describe data and information. Output of this research are adaptation and mitigation recommendations based on the mapping of flood hazard areas and the modeling of flood disaster prone areas.
Exchange Rate Pass-through to Consumer Prices in Pakistan: Does Misalignment Matter?
Authors: Atif Ali Jaffri
Published: September 2018

This study investigates the impact of exchange rate changes on consumer prices (commonly known as exchange rate pass-through (ERPT)) in Pakistan for the period 1995M1 to 2009M3. The study estimates short-run and long-run ERPT in Pakistan while taking into account the existing real exchange rate misalignment (RERM). The results suggest that the ERPT to consumer price inflation in Pakistan is very low (close to zero). The impact of the previous periods’ misalignment on inflation is found significant in managed exchange rate regime. However, the overall sample misalignment does not affect inflation. The impact of foreign inflation on domestic inflation is positive and statistically significant. JEL classification: F31, F41, E31 Keywords: Pass-through, Misalignment, Inflation
Taylor Rule and the Macroeconomic Performance in Pakistan
Authors: Wasim Shahid Malik  , Ather Maqsood Ahmed
Published: September 2018

A near-consensus position in modern macroeconomics is that policy rules have greater advantage over discretion in improving economic performance. For developing countries in particular, simple instrument rules appear to be feasible options as pre-requisites since more sophisticated targeting rules are generally lacking. Using Pakistan’s data, this study has attempted to estimate the Taylor rule and use it as monetary policy strategy to simulate the economy. Our results indicate that the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has not been following the Taylor rule. In fact, the actual policy has been an extreme deviation from it. On the other hand, counterfactual simulation confirms that macroeconomic performance could have been better in terms of stability of inflation and output, had the Taylor rule been adopted as monetary policy strategy. The study also establishes that further gains are possible if the parameter values of the rule are slightly modified.

Sartaj Aziz. Between Dreams and Realities: Some Milestones in Pakistan’s History. Karachi: Oxford University Press. 2009. Pak. Rs 595.00.
Authors: Seemi Waheed
Published: September 2018

The geo-strategic location of a country gives it advantage or disadvantage in its relation with the comity of nations and addressing its domestic challenges. The vision, acumen and capacity of political leadership, however, determine the maximisation of advantages from geo-strategic location in attaining the national interests. Interplay of domestic political power, geo-strategic location and global power dynamics are aptly reflected in the political history of Pakistan as narrated in “Between Dreams and Realities”. “Between Dreams and Realities” is both an autobiography and dispassionate account of Pakistan’s chequered history as the author puts it “watched the political drama as ring side observer.” The author was actively engaged in roles, confronting formidable challenges to improve policy coordination and implementation. A sequenced political, economic, and foreign relations history of Pakistan is described illustrating turning points, milestones, and debacles in her existence as a country. The political scenario of Pakistan, marred by intermittent military takeovers, with disregard, and mutilation of the constitution, mainly served personal interests. The rulers, irrespective of whether elected or otherwise, conjoined survival of their rule with that of the country. Thereupon, usurpation of power is legitimised by engineered elections or putting in place pliable judiciary. The indiscipline in political parties, absence of vision, political inexperience, self-centered, and headlong political leaders, increased the vulnerability of parliament to complete its tenure. Weak organisation of political parties is, thus easily maneuverable to the wheeling, dealings, and gaming of ‘establishment’. This is amply visible in all military takeovers of elected governments, right from throwing of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s government to dissolution of Nawaz Sharif’s government in 1999.

belirtilebilir. Çünkü analiz sonucunda kamu harcama çeşitlerinin ekonomik
büyüme üzerinde etkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öte yandan Wagner kanununa
benzer şekilde, ekonomik büyümenin kamu harcamalarını etkilediği görülmektedir.
Sonuç olarak kamu harcamalarının Türkiye'nin ekonomik gelişiminde önemli bir
politika aracı olduğu söylenebilir.

EXISTENCE OF CAUSAL AND SIGN RELATIONS IN ENGLISH ONOMATOPOETIC VOCABULARY
Authors: Kozhokina Angelina Viktorovna
Published: September 2018

The article is devoted to studying onomatopoeia of the English language. The originality of the study is in the fact that for the first time onomatopoetic and sound-descriptive words are examined from the viewpoint of the existence of causal and sign relations between their acoustic form and lexical meaning. The author focuses on analyzing linguistic facts in philo- and ontogenesis and emphasizes the autological nature of onomatopoetic words, which indicates their sign nature. The research results are as follows: the author has proved the motivation of some language system units, revealed the specificity of early semio-genesis, and the peculiarities of thinking of an ancient man and a child. The findings have allowed the author to conclude on genetic linkage between causal and sign relations and to identify the factors determining their interrelation.

Authors: Magomedov Magomed Abdulkadirovich , Magomedova Mesedu Magomedovna
Published: September 2018

In the article, the problems of the dialect division of the modern Avar language are considered, the range of its distribution is specified and the issues that need further study are noted. The entire dialect system of the Avar language is divided into two completely different dialect formations: the northern and southern patois. The northern dialect includes the Khunzakh, Eastern and Salatav patois and is the basis of the literary Avar language. In the Eastern and especially the Khunzakh dialects, there are quite significant differences from the Avar literary language, not only at the level of phonetics, but also morphology. The southern dialect has seven strongly differing patois: Antsukh, Qarakh, Hid, Andalal, Batlukh, Zaqatal and Kusur.
DEWI LESTARI’S CREATIVITY: VIRTUALITY PHENOMENON IN LITERATURE
Authors: Ershova Yuliya Sergeevna
Published: September 2018

The article analyzes the works of the modern Indonesian writer Dewi Lestari from the point of view of using the elements of virtuality in the novels of the “Supernova” series, which is realized in them in different forms. Computer virtual reality, practically becoming a symbol of modern culture, plays a connecting role in these works. The writer refers to the technique of chaotic mixing of real and virtual worlds, rhizomatic construction of the text, deconstruction of the discourses underlying her creativity, thanks to which the entire figurative and symbolic world of the novels “Supernova” is perceived as a kind of cosmos of worlds, and each world is interpreted in its own way by a concrete reader. Thus, the novels “Supernova” as post-modernist works of art have many individual readings and textual interpretations.
LYRIC-EPIC STYLE OF THE POEM “THE MAN” AS V. MAYAKOVSKY’S PHENOMENOLOGICAL AND THEOSOPHICAL VIEWS EXPRESSION
Authors: Chun Jiin
Published: September 2018

The article deals with the peculiarity of the lyric-epic organization of Mayakovsky’s poem “The Man” in the context of New European theosophical views and German classical philosophy. Personal attitude to history, religion and humanity, which coincided miraculously with Hegel’s insights and his phenomenology, allowed Mayakovsky to overcome the barriers caused by futuristic poetics and the exaggerated dehumanism of the era. The synthesis of lyric experience and philosophical reflection on the relationship between the God and the man conditioned the creation, through art reflection, of the genre formation of a new type - the phenomenological lyric epos.

Desarrollo y morfología del sistema urogenital de Physalaemus santafecinus barrio 1965 (Anura: Leiuperidae)
Authors: Sandoval M. T. , Gómez M. L.
Published: September 2018

El sistema urinario y genital de los anfibios, al igual que en el resto de los vertebrados, se organiza a partir de un par de crestas derivadas del mesodermo intermedio o mesómero, ubicadas en el techo de la cavidad celómica del embrión. El origen y diferenciación del riñón mesonéfrico, cuerpos grasos y gónadas de los anuros ha sido estudiado en unas pocas especies y pocos trabajos se han focalizado en el análisis de los estadios larvales tempranos. En el presente estudio se describe el desarrollo del sistema urogenital de Physalaemus santafecinus en larvas pro y premetamórficas, durante el periodo metamórfico, juveniles de hasta 30 días post-eclosión y ejemplares adultos. El riñón mesonéfrico se esboza a partir del E. 24-25 en forma asimétrica de derecha a izquierda. Los cuerpos grasos derecho e izquierdo se forman también asimétricamente en cuanto al estadio y topografía, aunque de modo inverso al del mesonefros. Los esbozos gonadales se reconocen desde el E. 25, siendo, a partir del E. 27, anatómicamente diferenciables en testículos u ovarios. Sobre la base de los resultados obtenidos realizamos comparaciones con otras especies de anuros estudiadas y destacamos las cualidades del desarrollo del sistema urogenital para analizar eventos heterocrónicos y particularidades del desarrollo modular en anfibios.
Áreas de riesgo de inundación pluvial en la Provincia del Chaco

Published: September 2018

El agua es un recurso natural vital para todos los seres vivos, sin embargo, en exceso son más las dificultades que ocasiona que los beneficios que produce. En este trabajo se planteó estudiar la dinámica temporal de las precipitaciones, detectar aquellos episodios susceptibles de generar inundaciones y delimitar las áreas afectadas por este evento durante el período 1955/2009 en la provincia del Chaco. Se trabajó con datos de precipitaciones de 2 estaciones meteorológicas y 23 puestos pluviométricos y se empleó el método de la<> anomalías para detectar los meses y años húmedos y muy húmedos, se realizaron balances hídricos y finalmente se representaron cartográficamente los episodios más relevantes. Del análisis efectuado se determinó que durante los años 1966, 1967, 1973, 1983, 1986, 1989, 1996, 1998 y 2002 se desarrollaron en la provincia importantes inundaciones por precipitaciones concentradas principalmente durante los meses de Enero, Febrero, Marzo y Abril. De la comparación cartográfica se constató, además, que en todo el espacio de estudio es factible el desarrollo de este fenómeno climático, no obstante se puede establecer un área de baja peligrosidad en el extremo Noroeste (menor frecuencia) y alta peligrosidad (mayor frecuencia) en el Centro Oriental de la provincia.
Genotipo, densidad de plantas y fecha de siembra en Maíz Pisingallo: variaciones en rendimiento y calidad de grano
Authors: Balbi Celsa , Neiff Nicolás , Cirilo Alfredo G.
Published: September 2018

La fecha de siembra y la densidad de plantas son una eficiente herramienta de manejo para maximizar el rendimiento en grano en áreas marginales, tales como el Nordeste Argentino. Debido a la escasa información sobre el desempeño de genotipos de maíz pisingallo en la región, nosotros evaluamos el rendimiento y la calidad del grano de este tipo de maíz en condiciones potenciales (sin limitantes hídricas y nutricionales). A partir de un arreglo factorial, se condujeron en dos fechas de siembra (FS-Te: Fecha temprana y FS-Ta: Fecha tardía), dos híbridos pisingallo (P625 y P802) con dos densidades de plantas (6 y 8,8 pl.m-2). FS-Ta expuso el cultivo a una temperatura más alta hasta la aparición de estigmas (RI) y a temperaturas más bajas durante el llenado de granos. Combinaciones de FS-Te y altas densidades alcanzaron rendimientos mayores a 8 Tn ha-1, lo que revela el alto potencial regional para la producción de este maíz. En cambio, los rendimientos fueron reducidos drásticamente en FS-Ta. El volumen de expansión y el tamaño de los granos alcanzaron valores normales para el mercado en FS-Te. Sin embargo, altas densidades en FS-Ta produjeron importantes disminuciones en los parámetros de calidad evaluados.
¿Qué método es más apropiado para las estimaciones de diversidad de invertebrados en la hojarasca de bosques Riparios (Chaco, Argentina)?
Authors: Galassi María E. , Poi Alicia S.G
Published: September 2018

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la eficacia de los e1nbudosTullgren-Berlese, los extractores Winkler y las trampas de caída para capturar los invertebrados de la hojarasca de un bosque localizado en la planicie del Río Paraná. Se registraron 9 clases y 26 órdenes de invertebrados. Los arácnidos (subclase Acari) fueron más abundantes que los colémbolos e insectos utilizando los métodos de Winkler y Tullgren-Berlese. Con la trampa de caída, Insecta fue el grupo 1nás abundante. Los resultados sugieren una mayor similitud (95,27%) entre los métodos embudos Tullgren-Berlese y extractores Winkler, y una clara diferencia entre estos métodos y la trampa de caída, produciendo diferentes niveles de precisión taxonómica. Cada método fue selectivo para distintas familias de Coleoptera. Las curvas de acumulación de taxa calculadas para cada método no muestran una tendencia asintótica.
