Plan estratégico de mercadeo para generar la demanda y el desarrollo del mercado de concentrado para aves de corral producidos por las empresas dedicadas a este servicio en el municipio de San Pedro Perulapán, departamento de

Debido a que el concentrado que ofrece la Granja San Diego S.A. de C.V es un producto relativamente nuevo en el mercado, la demanda que tiene éste es poca, por lo cual, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo formular un plan estratégico de mercadeo para generar la demanda y el desarrollo del mercado de dicho producto. El método utilizado para llevar a cabo la investigación fue el científico deductivo, ya que mediante el uso de procesos lógicos adecuados se partió de lo general, para llegar a conclusiones particulares. Por otra parte, la recolección de los datos se llevó a cabo a través de las técnicas de la encuesta, la entrevista y la observación directa. Mientras que las unidades de análisis estuvieron constituidas por una muestra de cada uno de los sectores que integran el ambiente interno y externo de la empresa. Una vez que los datos fueron recolectados y tabulados, se procedió a realizar el análisis de los resultados, los cuales revelaron las respectivas fortalezas, debilidades, oportunidades y amenazas. Con base en el diagnóstico se determinó que las principales causas de la poca demanda que tiene el concentrado producido por la Granja San Diego S.A. de C.V son: que la empresa no cuenta con programa publicitario que lo dé a conocer; además, la presentación del producto no es atractiva para los clientes, ya que el empaque no incluye la marca, el logotipo, ni un eslogan que lo caracterice, a lo cual se suma que no se cuenta con una máquina que selle el empaque, lo cual permita conservar en mejor estado el producto terminado. También se determinó que el concentrado producido por la Granja San Diego S.A. de C.V. es evaluado como bueno por los clientes, ya que en la empresa se tienen como políticas el cumplir a cabalidad con los clientes en cuanto a calidad, cantidad y tiempo estipulado de entrega del concentrado; además, su producto está legalmente registrado. En función a los resultados obtenidos se elaboró un plan estratégico de mercadeo en el cual se propone una misión, visión, objetivos de venta, estrategias de penetración y desarrollo del mercado. Así mismo, se desarrolla la mezcla de mercadotecnia con sus respectivos planes a largo y a corto plazo y un plan de implementación de los mismos, así como los costos incurridos en éstos.

Remotely sensed estimates of vegetation structural characteristics in restored wetlands, Southern California

Traditional field sampling approaches for ecological studies of restored habitat can only cover small areas in detail, con be time consuming, and are often invasive and destructive. Spatially extensive and non-invasive remotely sensed data can make field sampling more focused and efficient. The objective of this work was to investigate the feasibility and accuracy of hand-held and airborne remotely sensed data to estimate vegetation structural parameters for an indicator plant species in a restored wetland. High spatial resolution, digital, multispectral camera images were captured from an aircraft over Sweetwater Marsh (San Diego County, California) during each growing season between 1992-1996. Field data were collected concurrently, which included plant heights, proportional ground cover and canopy architecture type, and spectral radiometer measurements. Spartina foliosa (Pacific cordgrass) is the indicator species for the restoration monitoring. A conceptual model summarizing the controls on the spectral reflectance properties of Pacific cordgrass was established. Empirical models were developed relating the stem length, density, and canopy architecture of cordgrass to normalized-difference-vegetation-index values. The most promising results were obtained from empirical estimates of total ground cover using image data that had been stratified into high, middle, and low marsh zones. As part of on-going restoration monitoring activities, this model is being used to provide maps of estimated vegetation cover.

Infiltration effects on sediment mobility under waves

Sediment mobility measurements with a horizontal sand bed under non-breaking waves are reported. Conditions include no seepage and steady downward seepage corresponding to head gradients up to 2.5. The results indicate that infiltration tends to inhibit sediment mobility for a horizontal bcd of 0.2 mm quartz sand exposed to moderated wave induced bed shear stresses. The effect is weak for the parameter range of the present study. The two opposing effects of shear stress increase due to boundary layer thinning and the stabilizing downward drag are successfully accounted for through the modified Shields parameter of Nielsen [Nielsen, P., 1997. Coastal groundwater dynamics. Proc. Coastal Dynamics '97, Plymouth, ASCE, Dp, 546-555] using coefficients derived from independent studies. That is, from the shear stress experiments of Conley [Conley, D.C., 1993. Ventilated oscillatory boundary layers. PhD Thesis, University of California, San Diego, 74 pp.] and the slope stability experiments of Martin and Aral [Martin, C.S. and M.M. Aral, 1971. Seepage force on interfacial bed particles. J. Hydraulics Div., proc. ASCE, Vol. 97, No. Hy7, pp. 1081-1100]. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Drop penetration into porous powder beds

The kinetics of drop penetration were studied by filming single drops of several different fluids (water, PEG200, PEG600, and HPC solutions) as they penetrated into loosely packed beds of glass ballotini, lactose, zinc oxide, and titanium dioxide powders. Measured times ranged from 0.45 to 126 s and depended on the powder particle size,viscosity, surface tensions, and contact angle. The experimental drop penetration times were compared to existing theoretical predictions by M. Denesuk et al. (J. Colloid Interface Sci. 158, 114, 1993) and S. Middleman (Modeling Axisymmetric Flows: Dynamics of Films, Jets, and Drops, Academic Press, San Diego, 1995) but did not agree. Loosely packed powder beds tend to have a heterogeneous bed structure containing large macrovoids which do not participate in liquid flow but are included implicitly in the existing approach to estimating powder pore size. A new two-phase model was proposed where the total volume of the macrovoids was assumed to be the difference between the bed porosity and the tap porosity. A new parameter, the effective porosity (epsilon)eff, was defined as the tap porosity multiplied by the fraction of pores that terminate at a macrovoid and are effectively blocked pores. The improved drop penetration model was much more successful at estimating the drop penetration time on all powders and the predicted times were generally within an order of magnitude of the experimental results.
