Sixty-eight 10Be terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide (TCN) surface exposure ages are presented to define the timing of alluvial fan and strath terrace formation in the hyper-arid San Juan region of the Argentine Precordillera. This region is tectonically active, and numerous fault scarps traverse Quaternary landforms. The three study sites, Marquesado strath complex, Loma Negra alluvial fan and Carpintería strath complex reveal a history of alluvial fan and strath terrace development over the past w225 ka. The Marquesado complex Q3m surface dates to w17 3 ka, whereas the Loma Negra Q1ln, Q2ln, Q3ln, Q4ln, and Q5ln surfaces date to w24 3 ka, w48 2 ka, w65 13 ka, w105 21 ka, and w181 29 ka, respectively. The Carpintería complex comprises eight surfaces that have been dated and include the Q1c (w23 3 ka), Q2c (w5 5 ka), Q3ac (w25 12 ka), Q3bc (w29 15 ka), Q4c (w61 12 ka), Q5c (w98 18 ka), Q6c (w93 18 ka), and Q7c (w212 37 ka). 10Be TCN depth profile data for the Loma Negra alluvial fan complex and Carpintería strath terrace complex, as well as OSL ages on some Carpintería deposits, aid in refining surface ages for comparison with local and global climate proxies, and additionally offer insights into inheritance and erosion rate values for TCNs (w10 104 10Be atoms/g of SiO2 and w5 m Ma 1, respectively). Comparison with other alluvial fan studies in the region show that less dynamic and older preserved surfaces occur in the Carpintería and Loma Negra areas with only younger alluvial fan surfaces preserved both to the north and south. These data in combination with that of other studies illustrate broad regional agreement between alluvial fan and strath terrace ages, which suggests that climate is the dominant forcing agent in the timing of terrace formation in this region.

Following perturbation, an ecosystem (flora, fauna, soil) should evolve as a function of time at a rate conditioned by external variables (relief, climate, geology). More recently, biogeomorphologists have focused upon the notion of co-development of geomorphic processes with ecosystems over very short through to very long (evolutionary) timescales. Alpine environments have been a particular focus of this co-development. However, work in this field has tended to adopt a simplified view of the relationship between perturbation and succession, including: how the landform and ecosystem itself conditions the impact of a perturbation to create a complex spatial response impact; and how perturbations are not simply ecosystem destroyers but can be a significant source of ecosystem resources. What this means is that at the within landform scale, there may well be a complex and dynamic topographic and sedimentological template that co-develops with soil, flora and fauna. Here, we present and test a conceptual model of this template for a subalpine alluvial fan. We combine detailed floristic inventory with soil inventory, determination of edaphic variables and analysis of historical aerial imagery. Spatial variation in the probability of perturbation of sites on the fan surface was associated with down fan variability in the across-fan distribution of fan ages, fan surface channel characteristics and fan surface sedimentology. Floristic survey confirmed that these edaphic factors distinguished site floristic richness and plant communities up until the point that the soil-vegetation system was sufficiently developed to sustain plant communities regardless of edaphic conditions. Thus, the primary explanatory variable was the estimated age of each site, which could be tied back into perturbation history and its spatial expression due to the geometry of the fan: distinct plant communities were emergent both across fan and down fan, a distribution maintained by the way in which the fan dissipates potentially perturbing events.

In areas where there is irrigated agriculture, the recuperation of water reserves in alluvial aquifers may occur preferentially due to precipitation. Recharging can be evaluated from variation information of water depth measured in piezometers or observation wells. Thus, the aim of this research is to study the recharge in the alluvial aquifer formed by the Mimoso temporary stream in the semiarid region of Pernambuco (PE), Brazil, using the method of the fluctuation of the water level. This system is typical on the Brazilian Northeast semiarid region, using groundwater for domestic supply and for irrigation on small scale agriculture. Monthly potentiometric levels and rainfall data were used. The selected period for the study, from January 2002 to October 2009, involved extreme events of flooding and droughts as well as regular years, providing a better understanding of the behavior of the alluvial recharge. It was found that the system responds significantly to precipitation events. It was also observed that even with different soil textures in the study area, recharge factors were not significantly different. The study provided a better understanding of the behavior of aquifer recharge and its relationship with the soil and the rainfall events in the region.

Above-ground litter production is one of the most accessible ways to estimate ecosystem productivity, nutrient fluxes and carbon transfers. Phenological patterns and climatic conditions are still not fully explained well for tropical and subtropical forests under less pronounced dry season and non-seasonal climates, as well as the interaction of these patterns with successional dynamics. Monthly litterfall was estimated for two years in a 9 to 10 year old secondary alluvial Atlantic Rain forest. Total litterfall was higher in the site with more developed vegetation (6.4 ± 1.2 ton ha-1 year-1; 95% confidence interval) as compared to the site with less developed vegetation (3.0 ± 1.0 ton ha-1 year-1). The monthly production of 11 litter fractions (eight fractions comprising the leaf litter of the seven main species of the community and other species; reproductive parts, twigs £ 2 cm diameter, and miscellaneous material) were correlated with meteorological variables making possible to identify three patterns of deposition. The main pattern, dominated by leaf-exchanging species, consisted of a cycle with the highest litterfall at the beginning of the rainy season, preceding by basically three months the peaks of the annual cycles of rainfall and temperatures. Other two patterns, dominated by brevi-deciduous species, peaked at the end of the rainy season and at the end of the non-rainy season. Tropical and subtropical dry forests that present the highest leaf fall gradually earlier than rain forests (as the studied sites) are possibly related to the start of senescence process. It seems that such process is triggered earlier by a more severe hydric stress, besides other factors linked to a minor physiological activity of plants that result in abscission.

L'objectiu d'aquest projecte és el disseny dels bancs d'assaig necessaris per poder realitzar tres assajos de fisuració i deformació diferida al laboratori de resistència de materials de la UdG sobre provetes i bigues de formigó armat amb FRP i estudiar- ne el comportament. El primer assaig és el de fluència del formigó, on es sotmet una proveta a una compressió mantinguda en el temps. El segon assaig és un de tracció directa, on s'aplica una càrrega a tracció mantinguda en el temps en una proveta de formigó armat amb una barra FRP de reforç intern. El tercer és un assaig a flexió, on es carregarà una biga a flexió durant un període llarg de temps

Actualment l’esport del rem només s’entén com a activitat de lleure o esport de competició. Dins del rem, hi ha una gran varietat de disciplines esportives; totes coincideixen en l’impuls d’una embarcació mitjançant un sistema de palanques simple. Es diferencien en dos grans grups: el banc mòbil i el banc fix. El banc mòbil disposa d’un seient sobre rodes que permet aprofitar la força de les cames per la impulsió, en canvi, en el banc fix, no hi ha desplaçament del seient, el que implica el treball del tors i braços. Un dels punts que tenen en comú tot el banc fix, és el disseny del seu rem; a diferència del banc mòbil on la pala pot tenir el disseny que es vulgui. En banc fix la pala del rem ha de ser simètrica i alineada amb la canya del rem. L’objectiu d’aquest projecte és l’anàlisi hidrodinàmic de diferents models de pales simètriques per tal de determinar el model més eficient, des del punt de vista hidrodinàmic, per a la impulsió de l’embarcació de banc fix. Així, es simularan virtualment diferents models de pales simètriques disponibles en el mercat com models prototipus amb un programa de dinàmica de fluids computacional. L’anàlisi dels resultats determinarà el model més eficient. En la realització del projecte, l’estudi hidrodinàmic es realitzarà de manera virtual a partir de la utilització de programes comercials de dinàmica de fluids. Així com també programes de disseny 3D i programes de mallat que siguin compatibles amb el programa de simulació a utilitzar. En el disseny s’utilitzaran programes com Autocad i Rhinoceros, després, en funció del disseny, utilitzarem un programa d’elements finits anomenat ICEM ANSYS que mallarà la geometria emprada. Finalment, la simulació s’efectuarà amb el programa ANSYS CFX. L’estudi no preveu el càlcul de resistència mecànica dels models ni la seva construcció

Durant el curs 2010/11, la Universitat de Girona va implantar la plataforma virtual interactiva Moodle, adaptada a la formació i emprada pel professorat com a suport a la tasca docent. Aquesta plataforma ofereix la possibilitat de crear nous recursos, alguns dels quals enfocats a l’avaluació de l’aprenentatge. Un d’aquests recursos és el mòdul que permet dissenyar i aplicar qüestionaris. Aquests poden incorporar una àmplia varietat de tipus de preguntes (opció múltiple, vertader/fals, respostes curtes...). Les preguntes s’organitzen per categories a un banc de preguntes que poden ser utilitzats en un mateix curs o a d’altres cursos. El resultat del qüestionari (respostes de l’alumne que l’ha realitzat) és enregistrat per la plataforma i pot oferir la qualificació automàticament. Aquest punt pot representar un avantatge important com a element facilitador de la tasca docent, especialment en aquells cursos amb un nombre molt elevat d’estudiants (grups grans).
