Iowa Department of Transportation Fiscal Year 2008 Report of Savings by Using Video Conferencing Through Iowa Communications Network to the Iowa General Assembly Pursuant to Iowa Code § II 84 Acts and Joint Resolutions Enacted at the 1994 Regular Session of the 75th General Assembly of the State of Iowa Iowa Code §8D.10 Report of Savings by State Agencies

Iowa Code § 8D.10 requires certain state agencies prepare an annual report to the General Assembly certifying the identified savings associated with that state agency’s use of the Iowa Communications Network (ICN). This report covers estimated cost savings related to video conferencing via ICN for the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT). In FY 2008, the DOT did not conduct any sessions utilizing ICN’s video conferencing system. Therefore, no cost savings were calculated for this report.

Construction Code, November 25, 2008

Construction codes establish minimum standards for structural integrity, life safety, accessibility and energy conservation in construction of buildings and facilities intended for human occupancy. These requirements affect all of the major systems of buildings and facilities.

PENELOPE-2008: A Code System for Monte Carlo Simulation of Electron and Photon Transport

The computer code system PENELOPE (version 2008) performs Monte Carlo simulation of coupledelectron-photon transport in arbitrary materials for a wide energy range, from a few hundred eV toabout 1 GeV. Photon transport is simulated by means of the standard, detailed simulation scheme.Electron and positron histories are generated on the basis of a mixed procedure, which combinesdetailed simulation of hard events with condensed simulation of soft interactions. A geometry packagecalled PENGEOM permits the generation of random electron-photon showers in material systemsconsisting of homogeneous bodies limited by quadric surfaces, i.e., planes, spheres, cylinders, etc. Thisreport is intended not only to serve as a manual of the PENELOPE code system, but also to provide theuser with the necessary information to understand the details of the Monte Carlo algorithm.

Evaluación poblacional de Gari solida (Gray, 1828) en bahía Independencia-Pisco, junio 2010

En junio 2010, se efectuó la evaluación poblacional de almeja Gari solida en los principales bancos naturales de bahía Independencia: El Ancla, Pan de Azúcar y La Pampa para determinar su distribución, concentración, estructura por tamaños y magnitud poblacional. Los resultados evidenciaron una disminución de la biomasa y población, respecto a agosto del 2008, en 44,9% y 56,2%, respectivamente. La densidad por unidad de muestreo fluctuó entre 1 y 47 ind.m-2, las mayores densidades medias se encontraron en Pan de Azúcar (5,06 ind.m-2), La Pampa (2,42 ind.m-2) y menor densidad en El Ancla (0,57 ind.m-2). La biomasa total se calculó en 336,96 t (± 19,9%) y la población en 8,48 millones de individuos (± 19,85%), el 22,1% de la biomasa correspondió a ejemplares con tamaño mínimo de extracción (TME ≥75 mm). Las tallas de 792 ejemplares analizados fluctuaron entre 4 y 95 mm de longitud valvar, con moda en 65 mm y media en 57,5 mm. El rendimiento promedio del pie con respecto al peso total fue de 1: 9,5.
