An approach to costs and energy consumption in private urban Spanish Mediterranean landscapes from a simplified model in sprinkle irrigation

The number of private gardens has increased in recent years, creating a more pleasant urban model, but not without having an environmental impact, including increased energy consumption, which is the focus of this study. The estimation of costs and energy consumption for the generic typology of private urban gardens is based on two simplifying assumptions: square geometry with surface areas from 25 to 500 m2 and hydraulic design with a single pipe. In total, eight sprinkler models have been considered, along with their possible working pressures, and 31 pumping units grouped into 5 series that adequately cover the range of required flow rates and pressures, resultin in 495 hydraulic designs repeated for two climatically different locations in the Spanish Mediterranean area (Girona and Elche). Mean total irrigation costs for the locality with lower water needs (Girona) and greater needs (Elche) were € 2,974 ha-¹ yr-¹ and € 3,383 ha-¹ yr-¹, respectively. Energy costs accounted for 11.4% of the total cost for the first location, and 23.0% for the second. While a suitable choice of the hydraulic elements of the setup is essential, as it may provide average energy savings of 77%, due to the low energy cost in relation to the cost of installation, the potential energy savings do not constitute a significant incentive for the irrigation system design. The low efficiency of the pumping units used in this type of garden is the biggest obstacle and constraint to achieving a high quality energy solution

Effluent particle removal by microirrigation system filters

The aim of this work was to determine whether the filters used in microirrigation systems can remove potentially emitter-clogging particles. The particle size and volume distributions of different effluents and their filtrates were established, and the efficiency of the removal of these particles and total suspended solids by screen, disc and sand filters determined. In most of the effluents and filtrates, the number of particles with a diameter > 20 μm was minimal. By analysing the particle volume distribution it was found that particles larger than the disc and screen filter pores appeared in the filtrates. However, the sand filter was able to retain particles larger than the pore size. The filtration efficiency depended more on the type of effluent than on the filter. It was also found that the particle size distribution followed a potential law. Analysis of the β exponents showed that the filters did not significantly modify the particle size distribution of the effluents

Projecte de reg per degoteig en una parcel•la de 8,5 ha de vinya del celler Lavinyeta situat a Mollet de Peralada

Aquest projecte pretén satisfer la demanda del Celler Lavinyeta, que vol instaurar unsistema de reg per degoteig en una parcel•la de 8,5 ha. Es vol millorar la producció deraïm per a la vinificació però principalment es vol aconseguir obtenir una producció elmés estable possible en el temps.El celler Lavinyeta es troba al terme municipal de Mollet de Peralada, a la comarca del’Alt Empordà. De totes maneres, algunes parcel•les de la finca pertanyen al municipide Sant Climent de Sescebes

A Widely Used Machine Translation Service and its Migration to a Free/Open-Source Solution : the Case of Softcatalà

Softcatalà is a non-profit associationcreated more than 10 years ago to fightthe marginalisation of the Catalan languagein information and communicationtechnologies. It has led the localisationof many applications and thecreation of a website which allows itsusers to translate texts between Spanishand Catalan using an external closed-sourcetranslation engine. Recently,the closed-source translation back-endhas been replaced by a free/open-sourcesolution completely managed by Softcatalà: the Apertium machine translationplatform and the ScaleMT web serviceframework. Thanks to the opennessof the new solution, it is possibleto take advantage of the huge amount ofusers of the Softcatalà translation serviceto improve it, using a series ofmethods presented in this paper. In addition,a study of the translations requestedby the users has been carriedout, and it shows that the translationback-end change has not affected theusage patterns.

Effluent particle removal by microirrigation system filters

La distribución del número y del volumen de partículas, y la eficiencia de eliminación de las partículas y los sólidos en suspensión de diferentes efluentes y sus filtrados, fueron analizadas para estudiar si los filtros más usuales en los sistemas de riego localizado eliminan las partículas que pueden obturar los goteros. En la mayoría de los efluentes y filtrados fue mínimo el número de partículas con diámetros superiores a 20 μm. Sin embargo, al analizar la distribución del volumen de las partículas, en los filtrados aparecieron partículas de dimensiones superiores a la luz de los filtros de anillas y malla, siendo el filtro de arena el que retuvo las partículas de mayor diámetro. La eficiencia de los filtros para retener partículas se debió más al tipo de efluente que al filtro. Se verificó también que la distribución del número de partículas sigue una relación de tipo potencial. Analizando el exponente β de la ley potencial, se halló que los filtros no modificaron significativamente la distribución del número de partículas de los efluentes.
