Wind Nowcast On Radar Imagery Employing Deep Learning Technique
Authors: Sachin Kanubhai Patel
Published: January 2025

The research introduces an innovative wind forecasting system that combines radar imagery with a deep learning approach using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. The motivation behind this research stems from the limitations of traditional wind forecasting methods, which often fail to accurately capture complex spatial and temporal patterns in radar data. The aim is to develop a more precise and reliable forecasting model that can effectively handle these challenges. To achieve this, the study set several objectives: designing a robust deep learning framework that integrates CNNs for extracting spatial features from radar images and LSTMs for analyzing temporal sequences, optimizing the model to improve prediction accuracy, and evaluating its performance against existing methods. The results achieved include significantly low Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), reflecting enhanced forecasting precision. Additionally, the system demonstrates high Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) scores, indicating effective preservation of critical details in radar imagery. The successful implementation of this system highlights its potential applications in various fields, such as renewable energy management, weather forecasting, and environmental monitoring, where accurate and reliable wind predictions are essential for operational efficiency and decision-making.
THE ECOPHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE TO WATER STRESS OF SOME PLANT SPECIES FROM THE DOMOGLED-CERNA VALLEY PROTECTED AREA
Authors: BUȘE-DRAGOMIR Luminița , NICOLAE Ion
Published: January 2025

Domogled-Cerna Valey is a protected area characterized by a climate with sub-Mediterranean influences. The lithological and pedological substrate, as well as the specific climate, have given a xerophilic character to the area's flora and vegetation. But even for the vegetation adapted to these conditions, climate changes with very long periods of drought have created significant physiological imbalances, which in the longer term (if those conditions are maintained) will cause changes in the structure of the habitats.The determinations were made in Tesna-Valley Natural Reserve, and the plants studied were Genista tinctoria, Cerastium banaticum, Dianthus petraeus, Hypericum rochelii. The very low values of the photosynthesis intensities determined in 2024, low biomass accumulations, and the decrease in the growth rate, affecting also the flowering and fruiting processes. If these conditions continue to manifest in the coming years, it is possible that the number of individuals in the populations will change significantly.

Published: January 2025

Today, tea in the form of black or green tea, is the most widely consumed beverage in the world, next to water. About three billion kilograms of tea is produced and consumed yearly. Tea, made from the plant Camellia sinensis is consumed in different parts of the world. Of the tea produced worldwide, 78% is black tea (produced by fermentation), which is preferred by consumers in Western countries, 20% is green tea, which is commonly consumed in Asian countries, and 2% is Oolong tea (produced by partial fermentation).The possible beneficial health effects of tea are being extensively investigated and have received a great deal of attention in recent times. Several studies show that black tea contains a number of compounds that reduce the risk of disease.Heme proteins, that is, proteins containing one or several heme groups, are of immense importance for life on earth). They are involved in a wide range of fundamental cellular processes such as storage and transport of gaseous molecules (e.g. globins), energy conservation (photosynthetic and respiratory cytochromes), catalysis (e.g. detoxification enzymes such as catalase and cytochrome P450), and sensing changes in redox state or concentration of gaseous molecules.Molecular absorption spectra of the proposed experimental variants were obtained using a T92 Plus UV-VIS spectrophotometer manufactured by PG Instruments U.K.

Published: January 2025

In Romania, the field weed species Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. is native. In the last decade, the creeping thistle has become increasingly difficult to control due to agricultural systems based on monoculture and minimal or no tillage. The invasive nature of the species and its resistance to current herbicides make it increasingly difficult to control, especially in organic farms. Therefore, there is currently great interest in controlling the species with the help of biological agents. This review is based on extensive documentation on the use of fungal biological agents in the control of the creeping thistle. The studies reviewed show that there is interest in biological control, particularly in organic farming. Ten fungal biological agents with the potential to initiate infections in the creeping thistle are currently being investigated. The fungi tested are Puccinia punctiformis, Phomopsis cirsii, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Alternaria cirsinoxia, Phoma destructiva, Phoma exiqua, Stagonospora cirsii, Septoria cirsii, Phyllosticta cirsii and Fusarium sp. Of these, only Puccinia punctiformis, Phomopsis cirsii and Septoria cirsii have high and very high specificity for creeping thistle. The fungus Puccinia punctiformis stands out by the highest specificity and can be successfully used in the biological control of Cirsium arvense. However, the mass production of spores is tricky because there are no methods to cultivate this biotrophic fungus. Studies published between 2013 and 2024 show the high potential of Puccinia punctiformis to initiate infections that destroy or reduce the density of the creeping thistle in agricultural crops.

Se realizó un rastreo de campo (investigación in situ) en una población de 100 gatos (Felis catus) adultos, mestizos, en las urbanizaciones La Fundación y Las Veguitas, ubicadas en la parroquia de Catia La Mar, en el estado de La Guaira de Venezuela, para detectar la presencia del ácaro Lynxacarus radovskyi. Se escogieron al azar 100 gatos, 83 caseros (indoor) con tutores y 17 gatos en situación de calle (outdoor), de los cuales 36 eran machos y 64 hembras. El examen complementario seleccionado para este estudio fue el tricograma. Las zonas de muestreo en el área corporal tomadas en cuenta fueron aquellas con o sin lesiones de alopecia o inflamación, mayormente ventral y dorsal al cuello, área de las axilas, inguinal, área dorsal del tórax, la pelvis, base de la cola y región perianal. Las muestras se colocaron en láminas porta–objetos y se impregnaron con aceite mineral para ser visualizados en el microscopio, con objetivo de aumento inicial acromático 4×/0,10. Para mayor definición anatómica en presencia del ectoparásito o sus huevos, se utilizó el objetivo acromático 10×/0,25. En el rastreo se pudieron observar ocho gatos (5 machos y 3 hembras), positivos al ácaro de la especie L. radovskyi y sus huevos. Un gato macho y 2 hembras presentaron coinfestación con el piojo del gato (Felicola subrostratus), con sus respectivas liendres presentes en el pelo. Solo tres de cinco gatos infestados presentaron sintomatología asociada con mucosas rosadas, lesiones dermatológicas en cara, región dorsal al cuello y lumbar, con hipotricosis, eritema, costras, alopecia con escamas y prurito 5/10. El tratamiento con Fluralaner fue efectivo contra el parásito eliminando el acaro monitoreado consecutivamente hasta por 21 días. Este es el primer reporte en Venezuela del ácaro felino L. radovskyi en gatos.

Published: January 2025

In cattle metabolism, fatty acids are basic biological components that meet the body’s energy needs and are used in important metabolic processes. In this study, sweat, urine and blood samples were taken from cows and the fatty acids of the samples were determined by gas chromatography. Sweat samples contained fewer fatty acids than blood and urine (14 in sweat, 25 in blood and 19 in urine). In the correlation analysis, there was a moderately positive, statistically significant (P<0.01) relationship between sweat fatty acids and blood fatty acids. A statistically significant (r = 0.855, P=0.000) high correlation was found between blood and urine fatty acids. Regression analysis, there was a significant degree of positive association in the blood fatty acids, and sweat and urine fatty acids could explain 81% of the fluctuation in the blood. It was determined that there was a moderate correlation in urine fatty acids and that it could explain 79% of the changes in sweat fatty acids. It was determined that the changes in blood fatty acids were due to the changes in sweat and urine fatty acids. Therefore, it was concluded that blood and urine fatty acids in body fluids can be estimated by looking at sweat fatty acid levels.
Difference in the health effects of macerated and pressed peanut oils (Arachis hypogaea, L.) on stressed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Authors: Altinterim Basar
Published: January 2025

Generally, peanut (Arachis hypogaea, L.) products have been used as alternative feed additives in trout farming due to their nutritional properties. The maceration process ensures that fat–soluble substances pass into the oil more. It was thought that the application with enriched oil will give different results. Two experimental diets, macerated oil of peanut (MOP) and pressed peanut oil (POP) were used under high stocking density. The trial was studied on antioxidant parameters, hematological parameters, nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) activity and proximate composition of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) for 21 days. It was determined that the highest dry matter content (22.33%) and moisture content (77.79%), it was the lowest ash content (1.17%) and relatively low fat content (5.01%) in POP group. This suggested that the POP group had a higher concentration of dry matter, potentially indicating a higher overall nutrient density. In blood parameters, it was determined that mean corpuscular volume (MCV) (121.54 ± 4.30), platelet (PLT) (25.33 ± 3.68), NBT (1.407 ± 0.382) and lymphocyte (LYM) (93.66 ± 1.17) levels of the MOP group and granulocyte (GRAN) (2.15 ± 0.13) level of the POP group were different compared to the control group (P<0.05). In terms of antioxidant parameters, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) (15.585 ± 2.236), superoxide dismutase (SOD) (17.691 ± 2.250) and catalase (CAT) (12.874 ± 0.620) activities of the POP group and malondialdehyde (MDA) (9.169 ± 0.238) level and glutathione reductase (GR) (12.085 ± 1.034) activity of the MOP group were determined to be different compared to the control group (P<0.05). The results reveals that use of antioxidants (MOP) is an effective way of getting the best result in terms of the lipid peroxidation mechanism and blood production in rainbow trout under high stocking density. It was thought that the amount of oil–soluble antioxidant substances may increase with the maceration method and have a higher effect on the parameters.

Authors: KAYA Ali
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of managerial humor on counterproductive work behaviors in sport organizations. Another aim of the study is to examine whether managerial humor and counterproductive work behaviors vary according to gender, age, marital status, and position variables. The study was prepared using the relational survey model and conducted on a voluntary basis. The questionnaire technique was used as a data collection tool in the study. In the study, coaches, facility supervisors and counseling staff in sports service companies located in the European side of Istanbul constitute the population and 322 personnel selected by convenience sampling method from this population constitute the sample. In addition to the personal information form, the perceived manager humor scale and the counterproductive work behavior scale were used in the study. The analysis of the study was transferred to the SPSS 25.0 package program, and after the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, it was determined that the data did not show normal distribution. Reliability analysis was performed to determine the reliability levels of the total and subdimensions of the scales used in our study, and "Chronbach's Alpha Coefficient" was obtained. As a statistical analysis, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis and Spearman correlation analyses were applied to the research group. According to the results of the research, excessive use of humor in sports companies can cause counterproductive work behaviors by damaging business efficiency. In particular, sarcastic humor and rejectionist humor can cause problems between individuals by causing business productivity. Keywords: Behavior, Humor, Sports Businesses
Can We Think of a Plastic Subaltern? Denaturing Marginality and Resistance in Dalit Narratives
Authors: Sengupta Samrat
Published: January 2025

Following Ranjan Ghosh’s The Plastic Turn and employing it in the light of other thinkers on plasticity—James Martell, Clayton Crockett, and Catherine Malabou—the article connects the notion of plasticity with new materialist thinking and object-oriented ontology. Critiquing the idea of “nature” in dualistic thinking of the human consciousness versus the world around, plastic, as an artificially generated material, can become a way of thinking that all matter is constructed. The article attempts to denature the question of the subaltern subject from the assumptions of autochthony and think of it in terms of plasticity. Resistance then would be imagined as a plastic formation that is informed by the naturalized materiality of subaltern Dalit identities and the possibilities of plastic becoming/unbecoming beyond such determinations. The article facilitates thinking of Dalit identity as contaminating objects like plastic (as opposed to other, more valued pure materials like wood or metals) that seeps in and contaminates every thought and being.
The Mondine and Other Photographic Projects: The Portrayal of Women and Female Labor in Jacqueline Vodoz’s Photographs from the 1950s to the 1970s
Authors: Boyer Irene , Rossi Valentina
Published: January 2025

This article analyzes the representation of women and female labor in postwar Italy through the lens of Jacqueline Vodoz, a photographer who remains relatively unexplored. By utilizing archival materials, the article aims to examine Vodoz’s work within two distinct contexts: the first pertains to Italian photojournalism of the 1950s, primarily focused on the city of Milan; the second centers on the theme of female labor, with particular attention to her famous series on the mondine of 1954. In the 1970s the photographer fully collaborated with the Rivolta Femminile group, founded in 1970 in Italy by Carla Lonzi, Elvira Banotti, and Carla Accardi. A new representation of women emerges from Vodoz’s images, one that diverges from traditional photographic canonization, emphasizing the importance of relational bonds formed in female activities.
Capturing Class and Non-normative Sexuality in Early Twentieth-Century Italy: The Recovered Photographic Archive of Eugenia Codronchi Argeli and Bianca Belinzaghi
Authors: Brandinelli Giulia , Ravaioli Giorgia
Published: January 2025

Guido San Giuliano (male alias of novelist Bianca Belinzaghi, 1861–1943) and Sfinge (pseudonym of feminist writer and noblewoman Eugenia Codronchi Argeli, 1865–1934) were both passionate collectors and producers of photographs. Their joint archive of more than three thousand images offers a glimpse into their personal lives as a lesbian couple in early twentieth-century Italy, including portraits exchanged between them, photos of the property where they lived together, and three private photographic albums, only recently rediscovered, that served as a symbolic space for the assemblage of visual chronicles of their relationship. Delving into how the couple used photography as means to challenge heteropatriarchal norms, the article highlights the documentary value of their images while arguing for importance against the backdrop of their sociohistorical context.
Noi Donne, Effe, and Quotidiano Donna: Photography and the Representation of Women in Italian Feminist-Oriented Periodicals in the Late 1970s
Authors: Genovesi Elisa
Published: January 2025

Through the comparison of three of the main examples of Italian feminist-oriented press issued at the end of the 1970s, Noi Donne, Effe, and Quotidiano Donna, this article explores the various approaches to photography followed by the women’s movement in Italy, especially in relation to the sensitive topic of the representation of women by mass media and advertising. The article develops a specific focus on the controversial depiction of the female nude and the contributions of women photographers in search of new paradigms of photography. The discussion of these paradigms, which aimed to question the canonic male model of photojournalism, reveals the persistent prejudices that affected women photographers and their careers at the time.
Feminist Photobooks in 1970s Italy
Authors: Perna Raffaella
Published: January 2025

From the beginning of the twenty-first century, the expression photobook has proven highly successful in the wake of a rich series of studies, festivals, workshops, fairs, and publishing initiatives. The term photobook has, however, often been used to indicate, without much distinction, different types of photographic books that do not necessarily share aesthetic, political, or social aims, generating misleading perspectives on the genre. In order to examine the history of feminist photobooks in Italy in the 1970s, this article analyzes both the material and symbolic structures of these books as well as the contexts of their production and circulation, the artists’ careers, and their relationship to Italian neofeminism. Through a selection of books, the article offers case studies that can be considered significant examples of the relationship that can be considered significant examples of the relationship between photography, artist’s books, and feminist politics in the specific context of Italy in the 1970s.

Published: January 2025

To define and verify the geometric and radio technical parameters of the ROT-54/2.6 radio-optical telescope antenna, currently, in a preserved state, within a virtual environment, and to virtualize various additional technical tests, a decision has been made to design an accurate three-dimensional model of the antenna using the SOLID WORKS software. This software application enables the calculation of antenna parameters based on input data. Consequently, estimating the work required to revitalize this antenna becomes straightforward, and similar calculations can be performed for other comparable antennas in a virtual environment. This article details the research focused on creating a three-dimensional model of the ROT-54/2.6 radio-optical telescope antenna and the preparation process informed by the research findings. The study has utilized data from the antenna’s technical passport recorded during its construction, and actual measurements of several geometric parameters of the preserved antenna structure conducted between 2019 and 2021. The three-dimensional modeling process was executed in the SOLID WORKS software, typically employed for creating mechanical models.
The Role of Morphological Information in Processing Pseudo-words in Italian L2 Learners: It’s a Matter of Experience
Authors: Amenta Simona , Foppolo Francesca , Badan Linda
Published: January 2025

The productive use of morphological information is considered one of the possible ways in which speakers of a language understand and learn unknown words. In the present study we investigate if, and how, also adult L2 learners exploit morphological information to process unknown words by analyzing the impact of language proficiency in the processing of novel derivations. Italian L2 learners, divided into three proficiency groups, participated in a lexical decision where pseudo-words could embed existing stems (e.g., sockle), suffixes (e.g., hettable), or both (novel derivations, e.g., quickify). Participants with low proficiency exhibited reduced accuracy and longer reaction times when presented with pseudo-words embedding a stem compared to those embedding a suffix. Conversely, participants with high proficiency demonstrated comparable accuracy in rejecting pseudo-words with real stems or real suffixes but required more time to reject pseudo-words embedding a suffix. In the case of novel derivations, accuracy (i.e., correct rejection) decreased and reaction time increased for all proficiency groups. Our results show that L2 learners exploit morphological information to process novel words. Most importantly, the ability to extract and exploit morphological information is linked to language proficiency.

Gender Inequality in the Field of Music
Authors: Verma Shalini
Published: January 2025

Gender equality refers to a state in society where women and men enjoy equal rights in marriage, social, and economic aspects. Conversely, gender inequality implies that one gender is given more importance over the other. Gender inequality is observed in various fields across the globe, and the field of music is no exception. In Indian music, the number of male singers and instrumentalists has historically been higher than that of females. In the Vedic period, women participated equally in all three forms of art—singing, instrumental music, and dance. During the Ramayana era, women were also granted equal rights in music. The Bhakti period showcased a harmonious blend of singing and dance in the musical devotion of Meerabai. In contemporary times, Doordarshan (Indian national television) plays a crucial role in promoting cultural education and music, aiming to reduce gender inequality. Singers and musicians, irrespective of gender, are now allowed to participate equally in programs.
Abstract in Hindi Language: लैंगिक समानता का अर्थ है कि समाज में महिलाओं एवं पुरुषों को समान रूप से विवाहित, सामाजिक एवं आर्थिक रूप से एक समान अधिकार प्राप्त हो तथा लैंगिक विषमता अथवा और समानता का तात्पर्य है स्त्रियों एवं पुरुषों में से किसी एक को एक दूसरे की तुलना में अधिक महत्व दिया जाना ।आज विश्व के अन्य क्षेत्रों में लैंगिक असमानता को देखा जाता है। यह स्थिति संगीत में भी दृष्टिगोचर होती है। भारतीय संगीत में आज तक जो भी गायक वादक हुए हैं उनमें पुरुषों की संख्या स्त्रियों की अपेक्षा अधिक है। वैदिक काल की स्त्रियां गायन वादननृत्य तीनों कलाओं में भाग लेती थी। रामायण काल में भी स्त्रियों को संगीत में समान अधिकार प्राप्त था। भक्ति काल में गायन एवं नृत्य का संगम मीराबाई के ही संगीत साधना में प्राप्त होता है। वर्तमान में दूरदर्शन का सांस्कृतिक शिक्षा एवं संगीत के प्रसार में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका दृष्टिगत होती है। जिससे कि लैंगिक असमानता को दूर किया जा सके। गायक एवं गायिका को समान रूप से कार्यक्रमों में प्रतिभाग करने की छूट है।

Gömör vármegye mezőgazdasága és ipara Ladislaus Bartholomaeides historiográfus bemutatásában
Authors: Restás Attila
Published: January 2025

: Ladislaus Bartholomaeides (1754-1825), Lutheran pastor and deacon of Gömör,
educated in Wittenberg, came from the Hungarian noble family of Ördög, among his ancestors
we find Lutheran pastors and intellectuals going back several generations; his works were
written in Latin, German, Slovakized Czech while no printed work of his is known in Hungarian. His main work is a historical-geographical-statistical description of Gömör County (Notitia
historico–geographico–statistica); the work not only quotes the county records of Mátyás Bél –
whom he regarded as his model – in its title, but also in its approach and even in the typographical presentation of the book. Thus, the description of the economy, mineral resources,
society, churches, property and population relations, culture, etc. (Staatsmerkwürdigkeiten) can
be found in his almost 800-page book, which is much more extensive than the description of
the county by Bél.
The study examines the chapters on agriculture and industry in Bartholomaeides’ book: in
addition to traditional crafts and agricultural production, the beginning of the industrial revolution and the new agricultural phenomena (metallurgy and coal mines, and the cultivation of
new crops such as potatoes, flax, tobacco, poppies, etc.) can be observed in the period (from the
late 18th century onwards). Since Bartholomaeides wrote his scientific works on the country
in Latin, they necessarily reflect the cultural heritage of classical antiquity; the Latin reminiscences, quotations and allusions suggest that his works can be placed between the coordinates
of literature and scholarship: his oeuvre reveals the dilemmas of the turn of the 18th and 19th
centuries in relation to the dichotomy between the old and the new. A similar dichotomy can
be observed in the author’s identity: he can perhaps be considered one of the last Hungarus
intellectuals in an age when the idea of territorially based nationhood is disintegrating and is
being replaced by the idea of modern nationalism.

Authors: Obasi Chinua , Oranu Oluyemi
Published: January 2025

The traditional methods employed in the investigation of new materials, specifically the empirical and density functional theory (DFT) approaches, are insufficient to satisfy the requirements of modern materials science. This can be attributed to the prolonged development cycles, suboptimal efficiency, and exorbitant costs. The utilization of machine learning (ML) is a common practice in material detection, analysis, and design owing to its exceptional predictive capabilities, efficient data processing, and swift development cycle. This can be attributed to its relatively low computational expense. This paper provides an analysis of the essential operational procedures that are involved in the analysis of material properties using ML techniques. Furthermore, the present study provides a summary of the recent utilization of ML algorithms in diverse established domains of materials science, along with a discussion on the requisite improvements for their widespread implementation. The utilization of ML has been widely implemented in various fields of materials science. This paper offers an academic analysis of the paradigms of ML in the context of materials science. The article provides a clear and comprehensive overview of the essential steps involved in data processing, which encompass sample construction, data modelling, and model evaluation. The present manuscript presents a comprehensive survey of the application of ML methodologies in the domain of material science.

Authors: Haldorai Anandakumar , Anandakumar Shrinand
Published: January 2025

The combination of quantum computing (QC) with artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to significantly transform several industries and enhance quality of life. AI applications, such as autonomous vehicles and image recognition, significantly depend on supervised learning, which is a type of machine learning. Researchers are now examining the intersection of AI and multi-agent planning systems (MAPS) using quantum algorithms and game theory. Quantum machine learning and optimization techniques use the advantages of QC to accelerate training and optimization processes, drawing inspiration from quantum physics. With machine learning methods, it is now becoming commonplace in materials research to make predictions about the characteristics of inorganic solid-state materials. However, a significant issue lies in the limited availability of datasets. This article explores the structure and characteristics of the High Throughput Experimental Materials (HTEM) Database, which contains a vast amount of experimental data on inorganic materials obtained using high-throughput technologies. The HTEM Database provides a significant resource by offering comprehensive EDIM built using high-throughput exploration methodologies. The database offers a multitude of search and visualization functionalities and may be accessible using a web-based interface. Regular updates are performed on the HTEM DB to integrate new data and mitigate processing issues.

The changes in land use and land cover (LULC) are among the primary drivers of global environmental changes in many developing countries. In this study, LULC changes were assessed on Phu Quoc Island, located in Kien Giang province, Vietnam, from 2001 to 2022. The study utilized remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology using Landsat images for the years 2001, 2009, and 2022. Image classification for each year was conducted through supervised classification using a maximum likelihood classifier, with the main LULC classes being forests, bare land, agricultural areas, water bodies, and built-up areas. The accuracy of the classification was evaluated using the kappa coefficient, achieving values consistently above 0.8 for all three images. Over the 20-year period (2001-2022), the area of forest, agriculture, and water bodies decreased by 14.90 km2, 30.96 km2, and 0.64 km2, respectively. Meanwhile, the areas of bare land and built-up areas increased by 22.22 km2 and 24.28 km2, respectively. Additionally, this study employed the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) to quickly assess LULC changes, obtaining results consistent with the supervised classification. The findings underscore the importance of closely monitoring LULC changes to facilitate effective natural resource management and maintain a sustainable environment.

Authors: Vega-Mejía Rubén
Published: January 2025

La investigación tuvo como propósito comparar las propiedades funcionales de cinco almidones (ocumo, yuca, mapuey, ñame congo y caña agría) desarrollados en la universidad y conocer su efecto al ser usados como controladores de filtrado sobre las propiedades físicas de un fluido base agua. Durante el estudio de las propiedades funcionales se detectó en los almidones buen contenido de amilosa, necesaria para el buen desempeño de los fluidos de perforación, pH ácido característico de los almidones naturales y buen rendimiento para la adsorción de agua. Los fluidos formulados presentaron buena reología y filtrado menor a diez para los almidones de ocumo, yuca y caña agría. Caso opuesto los almidones de mapuey y ñame congo cuyo valor fueron superiores a diez. El diseño factorial evidenció diferencias estadísticas significativas entre los almidones (bloques) con respecto al comercial, más no entre este y almidón de caña agria. Igualmente, hubo diferencias estadísticas entre las propiedades físicas de los almidones con el comercial, excepto el almidón de caña agría que solo difirió en el filtrado respecto al comercial. A pesar de los resultados, no se descartan los otros fluidos, porque su uso depende de las condiciones operativas de perforación.

Published: January 2025

La detección de rostros de personas en sistemas de autoacceso, es una tarea retadora ya que la pandemia del coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) ha cambiado nuestra forma de vivir, sobre todo porque las empresas y algunas entidades gubernamentales como los hospitales necesitan otorgar permiso para acceder a sus instalaciones sobre todo si la persona no trae el cubrebocas, y aunque muchas instalaciones ya no permiten su uso, ya que las entidades antes mencionadas si justifican su uso sobre todo si en sus instalaciones hay personas con enfermedades crónicas que necesitan y justifican el uso del cubrebocas. En este trabajo, mencionamos un sistema de acceso que consta de un software embebido en un dispositivo Rasp-berry PI, el cual contiene una aplicación formada por el uso de una red neuronal Multi-task cascade convolutional networks (MTCNN), con la cual se hace el entrenamiento de las imágenes de rostros que traen y no traen cubrebocas, posteriormente y para una mejor identificación de los rostros se utiliza un algoritmo basado en Histograma de Patrones Binarios Locales (LBPH), con el cual se obtienen las características del rostro y posteriormente se puede clasificar si la persona a identificar tiene o no cubrebocas. Al final, nuestro sistema propuesto tiene una precisión promedio del 93% en la detección de rostros con mascarillas.

Este estudio investiga la influencia de la calidad percibida del servicio logístico en el desempeño organizacional de las empresas orientadas a la exportación en la región del Egeo. Empleando un diseño transversal, recogimos datos de 252 empresas a través de encuestas, centrándonos en su colaboración, expectativas y preferencias con los proveedores de servicios logísticos. Los datos recopilados se sometieron a un análisis exhaustivo utilizando diversos métodos estadísticos a través del software SPSS 22.0, incluyendo el análisis de varianza unidireccional (ANOVA), el análisis de correlación y los análisis de regresión, para evaluar las relaciones entre las variables. Los resultados de nuestra investigación revelan diferencias significativas en las expectativas de los clientes sobre los servicios logísticos en relación con factores como el intercambio de información operativa, la entrega a tiempo y el procesamiento de pedidos. Sin embargo, las variables relacionadas con las tecnologías de la información logística y la resolución de problemas no muestran diferencias significativas en la influencia de las preferencias de los clientes hacia las empresas de logística. En particular, la capacidad de respuesta surge como una variable importante que afecta las preferencias de los clientes.  En conclusión, este estudio subraya el papel fundamental de las aplicaciones tecnológicas en la mejora del rendimiento empresarial y la satisfacción del cliente dentro del sector logístico. Estos hallazgos contribuyen a la comprensión de cómo la calidad del servicio logístico y las tecnologías de la información se cruzan para dar forma a los resultados organizacionales, enfatizando la importancia de cumplir con los criterios de satisfacción del cliente en evolución en esta industria basada en servicios.
