Evaluación comparativa de una ración "Hecha en la finca" con una ración comercial en la alimentación de pollos asaderos

En el local de la Escuela Nacional de Agricultura y ganadería (ENAG) se llevo a cabo un estudio con el propósito de evaluar económicamente una ración comercial y otra elaborada en la finca con pollos asaderos. El estudio tuvo una duración de seis semanas. Se usaron 80 pollos de la zara Vantress Cross son sexar de seis días de nacidos y se dividieron en dos grupos y cada grupo en cuatro lotes, constituyendo estos las repeticiones correspondientes para cada tratamiento. Todos los pollos se vacunaron contra New Castle. Los pollos se pesaron al inicio y final del ensayo y se llevo un registro del alimento consumido en cada grupo. El diseño estadístico utilizado fue completamente al azar. Se encontraron aumentos de pesos significativos P<0.01 con la ración comercial. No se encontró diferencias significativas dentro de cada tratamiento. La ración comercial produjo los mayores beneficios económicos.

[R_Cornago_Castillo] Documentación Geométrica y Modelado Virtual del Castillo de Cornago (La Rioja)

[ES] El Castillo se encuentra coronando, junto a la iglesia de San Pedro, el cerro sobre el que se asienta el caserío de Cornago. Actualmente está formado por un patio interior de forma rectangular y rematado por cuatro torres en las esquinas, de las cuales tres son circulares de diferentes radios y una cuarta (NE) cuadrada, la superficie total ocupada es de unos 50 x 30 metros al exterior.

The economic importance of marine angler expenditures in the United States.

In 1998, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) began a series of marine angler expenditure surveys in the coastal regions of the United States (U.S.) to evaluate marine recreational fishing expenditures and the financial impacts of these expenditures in each region and the U.S. as a whole. In this report, we use the previously estimated expenditure estimates to assess the total financial impact of anglers’ saltwater expenditures. Estimates are provided for sales, income, employment, and tax impacts for each coastal state in the U.S. Aggregate estimates are also provided for the entire U.S., excluding Alaska, Hawaii, and Texas. Direct, indirect, and induced effects associated with resident and non-resident angler expenditures were estimated using a regional input-output modeling system called IMPLAN Pro. Nationwide, recreational saltwater fishing generated over $30.5 billion in sales in 2000, nearly $12.0 billion in income, and supported nearly 350,000 jobs. Approximately 89 cents of every dollar spent by saltwater anglers was estimated to remain within the U.S. economy. At the state level, many of the goods anglers purchased were imports, and, as such, as little as 44 cents of every dollar stayed in Rhode Island and as much as 80 cents of every dollar stayed in Georgia. In the Northeast, the highest impacts were generated in New Jersey, even though recreational fishing expenditures in Massachusetts and Maryland were considerably higher. In the Southeast, the highest impacts were generated in Florida, and on the Pacific Coast, the highest impacts were generated in California. Expenditures on boat maintenance/expenses generated more impacts than any other expenditure category in the U.S. Expenditures on rods and reels was the single most important expense category in terms of generating impacts in most of the Northeast states. Expenditures on boat expenses generated the highest in most Southeast states, and expenditures for boat accessories produced the highest impacts in most Pacific Coast states.(PDF file contains 184 pages.)

The growth of brown trout

An article discussing the factors affecting the rate of growth of brown trout, detailing the research udnertaken at Wray Castle, designed to clarify the influencing factors in different waters and investigate what would be required to increase their size. The article considers factors such as alkalinity, total hardness, the presence of coarse fish in the waterbodies and competition for food. Previous work undertaken on brown trout in Ireland by other authors is reviewed. A figure showing average growth rate of brown trout in five lakes, as determined from their scales (Lough Derg, Windermere, Loch Leven, Ullswater, Haweswater).

O efeito do estranho na obra de Salvador Dali

Através do estudo da obra de Salvador Dali, pontuamos algumas questões importantes que envolvem a conexão da arte com a psicanálise. Os pontos assinalados da teoria freudiana sobre a temática da angústia e sua relação com a arte praticada por Dali se baseiam no ensaio O estranho (1919) e no Seminário lacaniano, livro 10. Dali escreveu vários artigos e um ensaio teórico sobre o que ele entendeu por método paranóico-crítico de conhecimento da realidade. Por conta disso, revisamos alguns dos textos freudianos que tocam no tema da paranóia e da realidade psíquica. Esse método aplicado à sua própria arte nos ensinou que uma obra de arte pode funcionar como objeto pequeno a para o observador cuja realidade psíquica tenha sido tocada por uma dada tela. Outro tema importante refere-se ao que resolvemos chamar de o Outro Geográfico de Dali. Baseamos essa pesquisa na noção lacaniana do grande Outro como tesouro dos significantes e a relação disso com a região nordeste da Catalunha, na Espanha. Notamos que os lugares onde Dali viveu e onde construiu suas casas-museu foram extremamente importantes para ele, o que fica claro pelo fato dele repetir insistentemente partes da natureza dessa região ao longo de toda sua obra, como significantes que insistem em ser reescritos. Conhecido como o triângulo daliniano por seus biógrafos, os lugares que compõem essa estrutura são: Figueres, sua cidade natal; Cadaqués, no litoral nordeste da Catalunha onde o menino Dali passava as férias de verão e onde construiu sua morada conjugal com sua adorada Gala; e Púbol, no interior da Catalunha, onde restaurou um Castelo para sua mulher morar. Supomos que esses três lugares, tal qual o tempo para o psiquismo, funcionaram, para Dali, dentro da lógica própria do inconsciente. Além disso, falaremos sobre a influência dos pintores favoritos de Dali, em especial daqueles que funcionaram para ele como grandes mestres.

Decline in sea otter (Enhydra lutris) populations along the Alaska Peninsula, 1986–2001

During the 1990s, sea otter (Enhydra lutris) counts in the Aleutian archipelago decreased by 70% throughout the archipelago between 1992 and 2000. Recent aerial surveys in the Aleutians did not identify the eastward extent of the decline; therefore we conducted an aerial survey along the Alaska Peninsula for comparison with baseline information. Since 1986, abundance estimates in offshore habitat have declined by 27– 49% and 93 –94% in northern and southern Alaska Peninsula study areas, respectively. During this same time period, sea otter density has declined by 63% along the island coastlines within the south Alaska Peninsula study area. Between 1989 and 2001, sea otter density along the southern coastline of the Alaska Peninsula declined by 35% to the west of Castle Cape but density increased by 4% to the east, which may indicate an eastward extent of the decline. In all study areas, sea otters were primarily concentrated in bays and lagoon, whereas historically, large rafts of otters had been distributed offshore. The population declines observed along the Alaska Peninsula occurred at roughly the same time as declines in the Aleutian islands to the east and the Kodiak archipelago to the west. Since the mid-1980s, the sea otter population throughout southwest Alaska has declined overall by an estimated 56–68%, and the decline may be one of the most significant sea otter conservation issues in our time.

Eden & District Fisheries Advisory Committee 13th January, 1976.

This is the report from the Eden and District Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 13th January 1976. The report contains information on the land drainage representation on local committees, fisheries activities report, salmon stocking on the River Eden, status of Haweswater and Castle Carrock Reservoir, fisheries byelaws, licensing provisions for the River Esk and progress made in implementing the recommendations contained in the 'Taking Stock' publication. The section on fisheries activities reported by area fisheries officers looks at fishing, spawning disease and poaching of migratory fish and coarse fishing. It also contains description of ova obtained at Holmwrange hatchery and provisions of new equipment, biological work carried on Eden and Blackrack Beck and suggestions for new fish counters and traps. The Fisheries Advisory Committee was part of the Regional Water Authorities, in this case the North West Water Authority. This preceded the Environment Agency which came into existence in 1996.
