Efecto de la fertilización foliar complementaria sobre el rendimiento de grano en sorgo (Sorghum vulgare pers.) variedad dekalb E-56-A

Con el objeto de determinar cual es la formula de fertilizantes al suelo, que complementada con un determinado numero de aplicaciones foliares, son mas adecuadas para obtener los mayores rendimientos de grano en sorgo, se llevo a cabo un experimento en el que se probaron 4 diferentes formulas de fertilizante al suelo completados con diferente numero de aplicaciones de un fertilizante foliar, usando una semilla híbrida; Dekalb E-56-A, en las condiciones de La Calera. Se observaron los siguientes caracteres: Días de floración, altura de planta, ahijamiento en la base del tallo, cantidad de forraje y rendimiento de grano. De los resultados obtenidos por el análisis de varianza se puede deducir lo siguiente: No existen diferencias significativas en ninguno de los caracteres observados; en cuanto a rendimiento del grano el tratamiento que mayor producción dio fue el testigo. Los resultados obtenidos de este experimento pueden ser de mucho valor para agricultores que siembran sorgo en condiciones similares a las de "La Calera" y para aquellos que pueden hacer un uso inapropiado de los fertilizantes foliares, sin conocer la acción de estos debido a falta de experimentación.

A Cerenkov-ΔΕ-Cerenkov detector for high energy cosmic ray isotopes and an accelerator study of ^(40)Ar & ^(56)Fe fragmentation

This thesis has two major parts. The first part of the thesis will describe a high energy cosmic ray detector -- the High Energy Isotope Spectrometer Telescope (HEIST). HEIST is a large area (0.25 m²sr) balloon-borne isotope spectrometer designed to make high-resolution measurements of isotopes in the element range from neon to nickel (10 ≤ Z ≤ 28) at energies of about 2 GeV/nucleon. The instrument consists of a stack of 12 NaI(Tl) scintilla tors, two Cerenkov counters, and two plastic scintillators. Each of the 2-cm thick NaI disks is viewed by six 1.5-inch photomultipliers whose combined outputs measure the energy deposition in that layer. In addition, the six outputs from each disk are compared to determine the position at which incident nuclei traverse each layer to an accuracy of ~2 mm. The Cerenkov counters, which measure particle velocity, are each viewed by twelve 5-inch photomultipliers using light integration boxes.

HEIST-2 determines the mass of individual nuclei by measuring both the change in the Lorentz factor (Δγ) that results from traversing the NaI stack, and the energy loss (ΔΕ) in the stack. Since the total energy of an isotope is given by Ε = γM, the mass M can be determined by M = ΔΕ/Δγ. The instrument is designed to achieve a typical mass resolution of 0.2 amu.

The second part of this thesis presents an experimental measurement of the isotopic composition of the fragments from the breakup of high energy ⁴⁰Ar and ⁵⁶Fe nuclei. Cosmic ray composition studies rely heavily on semi-empirical estimates of the cross-sections for the nuclear fragmentation reactions which alter the composition during propagation through the interstellar medium. Experimentally measured yields of isotopes from the fragmentation of ⁴⁰Ar and ⁵⁶Fe are compared with calculated yields based on semi-empirical cross-section formulae. There are two sets of measurements. The first set of measurements, made at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Bevalac using a beam of 287 MeV/nucleon ⁴⁰Ar incident on a CH₂ target, achieves excellent mass resolution (σ_m ≤ 0.2 amu) for isotopes of Mg through K using a Si(Li) detector telescope. The second set of measurements, also made at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Bevalac, using a beam of 583 MeV/nucleon ⁵⁶FeFe incident on a CH₂ target, resolved Cr, Mn, and Fe fragments with a typical mass resolution of ~ 0.25 amu, through the use of the Heavy Isotope Spectrometer Telescope (HIST) which was later carried into space on ISEE-3 in 1978. The general agreement between calculation and experiment is good, but some significant differences are reported here.
