Clave para la identificación del segundo estadío larval de algunos trips comunes (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) : Mendoza, Argentina

Existen pocas publicaciones sobre claves de identificación de larvas de trips. Sin embargo, el tema es de interés básico para detectar el rango de hospedantes de los trips. Algunas especies son capaces de transmitir Tospovirus, agentes causales de la peste negra y otras enfermedades. El insecto adquiere el virus sólo como larva. Una clave de larvas será una herramienta útil para estudios epidemiológicos. La identificación de larvas es difícil porque tienen menos caracteres distintivos que los adultos; además, los individuos crecen constantemente. Las larvas obtenidas para este trabajo se recolectaron del campo sobre varias malezas y algunas plantas nativas y cultivadas. También se criaron en chauchas de poroto o polen y miel diluida a partir de adultos identificados. En este trabajo se presenta una descripción breve del segundo estadío larval de Frankliniella australis Morgan, F. gemina Bagnall, F. occidentalis Pergande, F. schultzei Trybom, F. valdiviana Sakimura et O'Neil y Thrips tabaci Lindeman y una clave para separar estas especies.

Trips (Insecta: Thysanoptera) en montes de cerezo en Mendoza, Argentina

En las últimas temporadas se ha relacionado la presencia de trips con daños observados en cerezas en Mendoza, Argentina. Los daños serían producidos por la oviposición de estos insectos sobre frutos pequeños. El objetivo del trabajo fue comparar la evolución de poblaciones de las especies de trips en dos montes frutales con diferente manejo de malezas. Se tomaron muestras de malezas y de flores de cerezo en los dos montes y se analizó la evolución de las poblaciones de trips. Tres especies de trips fueron frecuentes en flores de cerezo en ambos montes: Frankliniella australis, F. occidentalis y Thrips tabaci. F. australis es la de mayor reproducción de las tres. No se observaron diferencias consistentes en cuanto al número de trips por flor de cerezo en ambas fincas y esto puede atribuirse a que la abundancia de dichos insectos en las flores de cerezo depende de otras variables tales como densidad de plantación, aporte por migración de áreas vecinas además de los niveles de infestación de malezas en el cultivo.

Tres nuevas citas de trips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) para la Argentina y clave de los géneros de la familia Thripidae presentes en el país

Tres especies de trips se citan por primera vez para la Argentina. Scirtothrips inermis y Scolothrips pallidus se recolectaron sobre Viburnum tinus en la provincia de Mendoza. La primera de ellas es fitófaga y potencial plaga de citrus y la segunda es una especie benéfica y preda ácaros. También se registra por primera vez Thrips trehernei sobre Taraxacum officinale en Buenos Aires. Se elabora una clave para los géneros de la familia Thripidae en la Argentina. Asimismo, se presentan claves para las especies de los géneros Thrips y Scirtothrips en Argentina.

Trips (Frankliniella brevicaulis Hood) de las erupciones del fruto de banano (Musa acuminata Colla) en la provincia de Formosa, Argentina

El banano en la provincia de Formosa (Argentina) es uno de los principales cultivos de renta y generador de mano de obra para el productor por lo que representa un importante lugar en lo social y económico. La sanidad de los cultivos es fundamental para lograr una mayor rentabilidad. Se han observado en los frutos daños atribuibles a trips. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron identificar la/s especie/s de trips causal de las erupciones del fruto de banano en la provincia de Formosa, realizar una descripción detallada de su morfología y caracterizar y evaluar los daños producidos. La zona de trabajo correspondió al Área-Laguna Naineck en el Departamento Pilcomayo de la provincia de Formosa considerando un total de 1.103,74 ha pertenecientes a 233 productores. Para la determinación del estado sanitario de las plantaciones con respecto a la presencia del insecto se realizó un diseño de muestreo estadístico. Se recolectaron muestras del insecto y se identificaron con ayuda de claves. La única especie de trips encontrada fue Frankliniella brevicaulis. Los daños producidos por esta especie serían debidos a las heridas causadas por la oviposición, siendo éstas posibles fuentes de entrada para el hongo Colletotrichum musae. Se observaron daños en el 100% de los cachos de banana en todas las plantaciones evaluadas.

Survey on integration of Applied Geology and Geomorphology in Civil Engineering curricula in the framework of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) by using practical trips

The engineer must have sufficient theoretical knowledge to be applied to solve specific problems, with the necessary capacity to simplify these approaches, and taking into account factors such as speed, simplicity, quality and economy. In Geology, its ultimate goal is the exploration of the history of the geological events through observation, deduction, reasoning and, in exceptional cases by the direct underground exploration or experimentation. Experimentation is very limited in Geology. Reproduction laboratory of certain phenomena or geological processes is difficult because both time and space become a large scale. For this reason, some Earth Sciences are in a nearly descriptive stage whereas others closest to the experimental, Geophysics and Geochemistry, have assimilated progress experienced by the physics and chemistry. Thus, Anglo-Saxon countries clearly separate Engineering Geology from Geological Engineering, i.e. Applied Geology to the Geological Engineering concepts. Although there is a big professional overlap, the first one corresponds to scientific approach, while the last one corresponds to a technological one. Applied Geology to Engineering could be defined as the Science and Applied Geology to the design, construction and performance of engineering infrastructures in and field geology discipline. There has been much discussion on the primacy of theory over practice. Today prevails the exaggeration of practice, but you get good workers and routine and mediocre teachers. This idea forgets too that teaching problem is a problem of right balance. The approach of the action lines on the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) framework provides for such balance. Applied Geology subject represents the first real contact with the physical environment with the practice profession and works. Besides, the situation of the topic in the first trace of Study Plans for many students implies the link to other subjects and topics of the career (tunnels, dams, groundwater, roads, etc). This work analyses in depth the justification of such practical trips. It shows the criteria and methods of planning and the result which manifests itself in pupils. Once practical trips experience developed, the objective work tries to know about results and changes on student’s motivation in learning perspective. This is done regardless of the outcome of their knowledge achievements assessed properly and they are not subject to such work. For this objective, it has been designed a survey about their motivation before and after trip. Survey was made by the Unidad Docente de Geología Aplicada of the Departamento de Ingeniería y Morfología del Terreno (Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid). It was completely anonymous. Its objective was to collect the opinion of the student as a key agent of learning and teaching of the subject. All the work takes place under new teaching/learning criteria approach at the European framework in Higher Education. The results are exceptionally good with 90% of student’s participation and with very high scores in a number of questions as the itineraries, teachers and visited places (range of 4.5 to 4.2 in a 5 points scale). The majority of students are very satisfied (average of 4.5 in a 5 points scale).

Statement of trips, 1795

Thirteen statements of trips of the Cyrus between April 23, 1795 and December 9, 1795 signed by Steward Caleb Gannett. The statements list the cords of wood added to the College's supply and the cords sold. The statements are on thirteen slips of paper of various sizes bound with thread.

What TRIPS is and what is is not

For industry people, journalists, activists, lawyers, diplomats, national legislators, and students of the World Trade Organization's Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS) has awesome proportions. These are magnified by the fact that these groups lack detailed knowledge of either IP as such or international trade law. IP involves a broad spread of academic specialists and practitioners covering heterogeneous complex regimes of patents, copyright, trade marks, design, undisclosed information (trade secrets), and geographical indications. IP, and subsequently TRIPS, is the meeting point of many stakeholders and actors with conflicting interests spread between market aspirations and concepts of public good. In a globalized economy with deep interconnections across sectors, national borders challenged by inchoate technologies, dynamic social stakeholders, and converging technologies, it is fundamental to have a clear and uncluttered understanding of this Agreement. That is because TRIPS impinges on trade in many products of daily life, from pharmaceuticals to entertainment electronics, as well as mitigating and adaptive technologies for climate change and sustainable development. Given its saliency and ubiquity in economic life, TRIPS has often generated misunderstanding and controversy in the public debate. To complicate matters, technical and legal issues at the interface of technology, IP, and trade remain the province of an eclectic band of specialists and on the radar of interest groups with goals on opposite poles.
