Evaluación de diferentes sustratos usados en la propagación de las especies de nopal (Opuntia ficus indica L.) y pitahaya (Hylocereus undatus Britt et Rose.), Managua

El estudio se realizó en la parcela orgánica de cultivos perennes del Departamento de Producción Vegetal (DPV) de la Universidad Nacional, ubicada en el km 12 carretera norte departamento de Managua. Los objetivos evaluados fueron Determinar la influencia de los tratamientos en la cantidad de brotes así como la longitud, diámetro y biomasa para los brotes y raíces emitidas en los cultivos nopal y pitahaya, seleccionar el sustrato adecuado en el cultivo de nopal y pitahaya diferente al que tradicionalmente usan los viveristas, Comparar los costos de producción vrs la ganancia neta. Los tratamientos que se utilizaron fueron abonos orgánicos: humus de lombriz + suelo (dosis de 50% cada uno), compost + suelo (dosis de 50% cada uno), lodo industrial + suelo (dosis de 50% cada uno) y arena (dosis de 100%). Se estableció un ensayo experimental con cuatro bloques cada uno con una línea de nopal y otra de pitahaya con diez observaciones por tratamiento con el objetivo de Comparar el efecto de diferentes sustratos en la cantidad de brotes así como la longitud, diámetro y biomasa para los brotes y raíces emitidas en los cultivos nopal (Opuntia ficus indica L.) y pitahaya (Hylocereus undatus Brittet Rose). La necesidad de propagar rápidamente la pitahaya (, y el nopal, requiere de sustratos que garanticen rapidez en el crecimiento y prendimiento del material vegetativo; al utilizar sustratos compactos y con mal drenaje causan deficiencia de oxígeno, con lo cual las raíces se asfixian y las plantas mueren. A los 63 días de haber establecido el ensayo los resultados obtenidos para ambas especies fueron que el humus de lombriz, compost y lodo industrial tuvieron mayor efecto en las variables sin embargo en los indicadores diámetro de raíz arena obtuvo el primer lugar en la especie de pitahaya y biomasa de las raíces peso seco obtiene el primer lugar para ambas especies.

A summary of results obtained from 1969 to 1977 is given. It concerns the biology of the species (ecology and distribution of the adults, behaviour and diel variation of catch rates, reproduction and larval migration, juveniles migration and recruitment at sea, sexual maturity, growth and mortality by marking experiments) and the history of the fishery (catches, efforts, seasonal variations of catch rates). The combined use of a dynamic pool model of Ricker and a production model of Fox leads to the evaluation of the potential of the stock. The simulation of different and combined fishery strategies on adults at sea and juveniles in lagoons, allows the evaluation of the consequences (in yield, value, biomass and potential fecundity) of the different proposed management procedures (reductions in fishing effort, closed seasons on both fisheries).

Development and transition of spiral wave in the coupled Hindmarsh-Rose neurons in two-dimensional space

The dynamics and the transition of spiral waves in the coupled Hindmarsh-Rose (H-R) neurons in two-dimensional space are investigated in the paper. It is found that the spiral wave can be induced and developed in the coupled HR neurons in two-dimensional space, with appropriate initial values and a parameter region given. However, the spiral wave could encounter instability when the intensity of the external current reaches a threshold value of 1.945. The transition of spiral wave is found to be affected by coupling intensity D and bifurcation parameter r. The spiral wave becomes sparse as the coupling intensity increases, while the spiral wave is eliminated and the whole neuronal system becomes homogeneous as the bifurcation parameter increases to a certain threshold value. Then the coupling action of the four sub-adjacent neurons, which is described by coupling coefficient D', is also considered, and it is found that the spiral wave begins to breakup due to the introduced coupling action from the sub-adjacent neurons (or sites) and together with the coupling action of the nearest-neighbour neurons, which is described by the coupling intensity D.

Ecological comparative study of the rock-rose scrubs of Madrid, II. Soil-pH seasonal fluctuation

During twao years soil and litter pH of 31 permanent plots grown by several rock-rose scrubs (jarales) of Cistion laurifolii at different dynamic stages have been measured. Acidily records show the existence of important seasonal variations and according to a certain rythm. The different syntaxa are characterized as for this ecological factor and the results for these matorrals are compared with other data of heath-scrubs. Adult jaral-phases tend to decrease soil pH when compared with younger dwarf-scrubs-phases, nevertheless upper soil levels generally remain less acidic. Multivariable analysis do not show preference of t he different syntaxa for a certain soil-pH range.

‘Not like rose-tinted glasses… like taking a pair of dirty glasses off’: A pilot intervention using positive emotions in expressive writing

Studies conducted in various contexts and with varied populations have found expressive writing enhances physical and psychological wellbeing. This pilot intervention study countered the predominantly quantitative evidence by adopting a qualitative methodology, exploring the experience of using positive emotions in expressive writing. Participants (n = 10), who all had previous experience in expressive writing, were asked to select one of ten positive emotion cards (PECs) each day for three days. Participants were then asked to write expressively through the ‘lens’ of their chosen emotion. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and experiences were evaluated using Thematic Analysis. The results identified two main themes that compared the experience of expressive writing both with and without the PECs. The first theme, Processing (without the PECs) contained three sub-themes: sense of relief, habitual perspective and reactive to experience. The second main theme, Progressing (with the PECs) contained three different sub-themes: sense of direction, changed perspective and interactive with experience. This study found that, for expressive writers, positive emotions may function in three ways: to relate to others or self-expand, to move past challenges cognitively or change unconstructive perspectives, and finally as a way to interactively link or ‘bridge’ from the written subject matter to constructive action, thus breaking cycles of reactive writing and rumination. Implications of the study on the practice of expressive writing and its potential as a positive psychology intervention (PPI) are discussed.
