Process of fixation, imobilization and mineralization of ammonium in soil using N-15

The organic and inorganic forms of soil nitrogen and how they participate in the process of fixation, immobilization and mineralization of ammonium in soils were evaluated, after different periods of incubaton, utilizing two soils, a Lithic Haplustoll and a Typic Eutrorthox. The results obtained permit to suggest that : 1) The method for determination of the ammonium fixing capacity based on the extraction with 2N KC1, is considered to be subject to interferences of other soil fractions capable of retaining ammonium. 2) The increase in exchangeable ammonium content is related to the decrease in amino acids and hydrolyzable ammonium. 3) The immobilization and mineralization processes are still held under mil microbial. The forms more affected by this condition are amino acids and hydrolyzable ammonium.

Nutrição mineral de leguminosas tropicais VII: recrutamento de micronutrientes pela cunhã (Clitoria ternatea L.)

Com a finalidade de obter dados acerca do recrutamento de micronutrientes, a leguminosa foi cultivada em um Latossolo Vermelho Escuro Orto, série "Luiz de Queiroz" em Piracicaba, SP. A coleta de amostras constituidas por plantas rasteiras, foi efetuada de 15 em 15 dias a partir dos 41 dias após a semeadura. Após cada amostragem, as plantas foram separadas em folhas, caules, flores e vagens. Em cada época nas diferentes partes da planta foram determinadas as concentrações de boro, cobre, ferro, manganês e zinco. Os autores consideram que: - O período de 86 dias após a semeadura, sob o ponto de vista dos minerais, é aquele para o aproveitamento da planta como forrageira; - Aos 86 dias após a germinação, a concentração dos micronutrientes na folha é de 41 ppm B; 8 ppm Xu; 402 ppm Fe; 94 ppm Mn e 45 ppm Zn; - Aos 86 dias após a germinação, o acumulo de micronutrientes por planta é de 390 mg B; 81 mg Cu; 3404 mg Fe; 751 mg Mn; 402 mg Zn; - Para uma população teórica de 825.000 plantas por hectare, a extração dos micronutrientes é na ordem de 322 g B; 67 g Cu; 2808 g Fe; 620 g Mn e 332 g de Zn.

Conclusions del seminari: Seminari "Les Euroregions: experiències i aprenatges per a l'euroregió Pirineus-Mediterrània" 15-16 de desembre de 2005

Aquest Seminari s'emmarca en el projecte d'investigació de l'IUEE relatiu a "L'Euroregió Pirineus-Mediterrània: percepcions, expectatives i xarxes d'actors". En aquesta primera fase (octubre 2005-juny 2006) el projecte preten avaluar els requisits institucionals necessaris per la posada en marxa de l'Euroregió

Implementació i simulació funcional en MATLAB del protocol IEEE 802.15.4 de WSN

El principal objectiu que es pretén assolir és dissenyar un simulador de la capa MAC, definida a l’estàndard IEEE 802.15.4. Convé matisar que l’objectiu no és implementar un simulador, sinó utilitzar una plataforma genèrica existent, MATLAB, i definir sobre ella, una metodologia que, permeti utilitzar-la més com a plataforma específica de desenvolupament i simulació de protocols per a xarxes de sensors, que no pas com a simple simulador.

Developing a predictive understanding of subsurface flow and transport is complicated by the disparity of scales across which controlling hydrological properties and processes span. Conventional techniques for characterizing hydrogeological properties (such as pumping, slug, and flowmeter tests) typically rely on borehole access to the subsurface. Because their spatial extent is commonly limited to the vicinity near the wellbores, these methods often cannot provide sufficient information to describe key controls on subsurface flow and transport. The field of hydrogeophysics has evolved in recent years to explore the potential that geophysical methods hold for improving the quantification of subsurface properties and processes relevant for hydrological investigations. This chapter is intended to familiarize hydrogeologists and water-resource professionals with the state of the art as well as existing challenges associated with hydrogeophysics. We provide a review of the key components of hydrogeophysical studies, which include: geophysical methods commonly used for shallow subsurface characterization; petrophysical relationships used to link the geophysical properties to hydrological properties and state variables; and estimation or inversion methods used to integrate hydrological and geophysical measurements in a consistent manner. We demonstrate the use of these different geophysical methods, petrophysical relationships, and estimation approaches through several field-scale case studies. Among other applications, the case studies illustrate the use of hydrogeophysical approaches to quantify subsurface architecture that influence flow (such as hydrostratigraphy and preferential pathways); delineate anomalous subsurface fluid bodies (such as contaminant plumes); monitor hydrological processes (such as infiltration, freshwater-seawater interface dynamics, and flow through fractures); and estimate hydrological properties (such as hydraulic conductivity) and state variables (such as water content). The case studies have been chosen to illustrate how hydrogeophysical approaches can yield insights about complex subsurface hydrological processes, provide input that improves flow and transport predictions, and provide quantitative information over field-relevant spatial scales. The chapter concludes by describing existing hydrogeophysical challenges and associated research needs. In particular, we identify the area of quantitative watershed hydrogeophysics as a frontier area, where significant effort is required to advance the estimation of hydrological properties and processes (and their uncertainties) over spatial scales relevant to the management of water resources and contaminants.
