L’idea alla base della tesi è quella di sfruttare l’espressività di rappresentazione grafica della libreria D3 per mettere a punto un’applicazione web che dia la possibilità all’utente di creare dei grafici interattivi in maniera semplice e automatica. A tal proposito, si è subito considerato il dominio dell’applicazione, rappresentato dai dati da visualizzare in forma grafica, in modo da sviluppare un prodotto che, a differenza degli altri generatori di grafici, permetta l’elaborazione dei dataset reali, quelli cioè pubblicati sul web dai vari enti specializzati; un’applicazione che quindi indipendentemente dalla forma in cui i dati si presentano, riesca a rappresentarne il contenuto.

New fluorinated hybrid solids [Mo2F2O5(tr2pr)] (1), [Co3(tr2pr)2(MoO4)2F2]·7H2O (2), and [Co3(H2O)2(tr2pr)3(Mo8O26F2)]·3H2O (3) (tr2pr = 1,3-bis(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)propane) were prepared from the reaction systems consisting of Co(OAc)2/CoF2 and MoO3/(NH4)6Mo7O24, as CoII and MoVI sources, in water (2) or in aqueous HF (1, 3) employing mild hydrothermal conditions. The tr2pr ligand serves as a conformationally flexible tetradentate donor. In complex 1, the octahedrally coordinated Mo atoms are linked in the discrete corner-sharing {Mo2(μ2-O)F2O4N4} unit in which a pair of tr-heterocycles (tr = 1,2,4-triazole) is arranged in cis-positions opposite to “molybdenyl” oxygen atoms. The anti−anti conformation type of tr2pr facilitates the tight zigzag chain packing motif. The crystal structure of the mixed-anion complex salt 2 consists of trinuclear [Co3(μ3-MoO4)2(μ2-F)2] units self-assembling in CoII-undulating chains (Co···Co 3.0709(15) and 3.3596(7) Å), which are cross-linked by tr2pr in layers. In 3, containing condensed oxyfluoromolybdate species, linear centrosymmetric [Co3(μ2-tr)6]6+ SBUs are organized at distances of 10.72−12.45 Å in an α-Po-like network using bitopic tr-linkers. The octahedral {N6} and {N3O3} environments of the central and peripheral cobalt atoms, respectively, are filled by triazole N atoms, water molecules, and coordinating [Mo8O26F2]6− anions. Acting as a tetradentate O-donor, each difluorooctamolybdate anion anchors four [Co3(μ2-tr)6]6+ units through their peripheral Co-sites, which consequently leads to a novel type of a two-nodal 4,10-c net with the Schläfli symbol {32.43.5}{34.420.516.65}. The 2D and 3D coordination networks of 2 and 3, respectively, are characterized by significant overall antiferromagnetic exchange interactions (J/k) between the CoII spin centers on the order of −8 and −4 K. The [Mo8O26F2]6− anion is investigated in detail by quantum chemical calculations.

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, ~5 million years ago) was an interval of global warming and ocean acidification attributed to rapid release and oxidation of buried carbon. We show that the onset of the PETM coincided with a prominent increase in the origination and extinction of calcareous phytoplankton. Yet major perturbation of the surface-water saturation state across the PETM was not detrimental to the survival of most calcareous nannoplankton taxa and did not impart a calcification or ecological bias to the pattern of evolutionary turnover. Instead, the rate of environmental change appears to have driven turnover, preferentially affecting rare taxa living close to their viable limits.

We tested the ability of a small dynamic penetrometer, Nimrod, to infer geotechnical properties of sediment mixtures in the inner shelf. The penetrometer is light and easy to operate, and its operation by scuba divers ensures a greater degree of precision than ship-based penetrometer deployments. We have studied selected positions along a sorted bedform (~ 100 m wide) on the continental shelf off the Coromandel Peninsula close to Tairua, North Island of New Zealand, and additionally took sediment samples at the exact positions of penetrometer impact, also by scuba divers. The derived dynamic penetrometer signatures (i) measured deceleration of the probe and estimated quasi-static bearing capacity as a measure of sediment strength, (ii) reflected changes in grain-size distribution ranging from very fine to very coarse sands, and (iii) revealed the uppermost seafloor stratification (top layer 2-6 cm) potentially being an indicator for sediment dynamics. In this manner, the device proved to be suitable for spatially fine-scaled surveys using divers' support and might deliver complementary information about sediment dynamics, in this case sorted-bedform maintenance.

The Global River Discharge (RivDIS) data set contains monthly discharge measurements for 1018 stations located throughout the world. The period of record varies widely from station to station, with a mean of 21.5 years. These data were digitized from published UNESCO archives by Charles Voromarty, Balaze Fekete, and B.A. Tucker of the Complex Systems Research Center (CSRC) at the University of New Hampshire. River discharge is typically measured through the use of a rating curve that relates local water level height to discharge. This rating curve is used to estimate discharge from the observed water level. The rating curves are periodically rechecked and recalibrated through on-site measurement of discharge and river stage.

El presente trabajo aborda el aprovechamiento de algunos subproductos agrícolas (bagazo de maguey y fibra de coco) y forestales (corteza de pino) en el Estado de Oaxaca (Sur de México). El objetivo principal se centra en localizar, cuantificar y caracterizar estos con vistas a su aplicación como sustratos o componentes de sustratos en cultivos ornamentales, forestales y hortícolas, y a su uso como enmiendas en cultivos tipo. Así mismo se persigue reducir el uso de la turba y la tierra de monte como sustratos mayoritarios en la actualidad. Para la localización de los subproductos se utilizaron los datos de los registros parcelarios de los productores de coco para la obtención de copra (generadores de fibra de coco) de la región costa y de los productores de mezcal (generadores del residuo de bagazo de maguey) de la región valles centrales, así como las ubicaciones de los aserraderos forestales en el Estado de Oaxaca. Se emplea un Sistema de Información Geográfica (SIG) con una cartografía digitalizada de los elementos del medio (clima, geología y suelo), de los cultivos generadores (bagazo de maguey, fibra de coco y corteza de pino), de la agricultura protegida como receptora (tomate) y de la agricultura extensiva con cultivos receptores de enmienda (café, hule, limón, mango, palma de coco y maguey). La producción anual de los residuos se cartografía y cuantifica con los siguientes resultados: bagazo de maguey 624.000 t, fibra de coco 86.000 m3 y 72.000 t de corteza de pino. Mediante el estudio de las características de los suelos de los cultivos receptores y de los requerimientos de materia orgánica de cada cultivo se calcularon las necesidades totales de materia orgánica para cada suelo. Los resultados de las cantidades globales para cada cultivo en todo el Estado muestran una necesidad total de 3.112.000 t de materia orgánica como enmienda. Con los datos obtenidos y a través de un algoritmo matemático se realiza una propuesta de localización de dos plantas de compostaje (de bagazo de maguey y fibra de coco) y cuatro plantas de compostaje de corteza de pino. Con el fin de conocer los subproductos a valorizar como sustrato o componente de sustrato se caracteriza su composición física‐química, siguiendo Normas UNE‐EN, y se analizan mediante Resonancia Magnética Nuclear (RMN). Para el acondicionamiento de bagazo de maguey y la corteza de pino se realizaron ensayos de compostaje. Al final de 241 días la temperatura y la humedad de ambos procesos se encontraban en los rangos recomendados, indicando que los materiales estaban estabilizados y con calidad para ser utilizados como sustrato o componente de sustrato. Para la fibra de coco se realizó el proceso de molienda en seco de conchas de coco provenientes de la comunidad de Río Grande Oaxaca (Principal zona productora de copra en Oaxaca). Posteriormente se emplean los materiales obtenidos como componentes para sustratos de cultivo. Se estudia el compost de bagazo de maguey y siete mezclas; el compost de corteza de pino y ocho mezclas y la fibra de coco con tres mezclas. Estos sustratos alternativos permiten obtener mezclas y reducir el uso de la tierra de monte, turba, arcilla expandida y vermiculita, siendo por tanto una alternativa sostenible para la producción en invernadero. Se elaboraron mezclas especificas para el cultivo de Lilium hibrido asiático y oriental (siete mezclas), sustratos eco‐compatibles para cultivo de tomate (nueve mezclas), para la producción de planta forestal (siete mezclas) y para la producción de plántula hortícola (ocho mezclas). Como resultados más destacados del bagazo de maguey, corteza de pino y las mezclas obtenidas se resume lo siguiente: el bagazo de maguey, con volúmenes crecientes de turba (20, 30, 50 y 60 %) y la corteza de pino, con volúmenes de turba 40 y 60%, presentan valores muy recomendados de porosidad, capacidad de aireación, capacidad de retención de humedad y equilibrio agua‐aire. Para la fibra de coco, la procedente de Río Grande presenta mejor valoración que la muestra comercial de fibra de coco de Morelos. Por último se llevó a cabo la evaluación agronómica de los sustratos‐mezclas, realizando cinco experimentos por separado, estudiando el desarrollo vegetal de cultivos tipo, que se concretan en los siguientes ensayos: 1. Producción de Lilium asiático y oriental en cama para flor de corte; 2. Producción de Lilium oriental en contenedor para flor de corte; 3. Producción de plántula forestal (Pinus greggii E y Pinus oaxacana M); 4. Producción de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L) y 5. Producción de plántula de tomate en semillero (Solanum lycopersicum L). En relación a la producción de Lilium hibrido asiático en cama los sustratos corteza de pino (CPTU 80:20 v/v), corteza de pino + sustrato comercial (CPSC 80:20 v/v) y corteza de pino+turba+arcilla expandida+vermiculita (CPTAEV2 30:40:15:15 v/v) presentan los mejores resultados. Dichos sustratos también presentan adecuados resultados para Lilium hibrido oriental con excepción de la corteza de pino + turba (CPTU 80:20 v/v). En la producción de Lilium hibrido oriental en contenedor para flor de corte, además de los sustratos de CPSC y CPTAEV2, la mezcla de corteza de pino+turba+arcilla expandida+vermiculita (CPTAEV 70:20:5:5 v/v) manifestó una respuesta favorable. En el ensayo de producción de plántulas de Pinus greggii E y Pinus oaxacana Mirov, las mezclas con corteza de pino+turba+arcilla expandida+vermiculita (CPTAEV2 30:40:15:15 v/v) y bagazo de maguey turba+arcilla expandida+vermiculita (BMTAEV2 30:60:5:5 v/v) son una alternativa que permite disminuir el empleo de turba, arcilla expandida y vermiculita, en comparación con el sustrato testigo de turba+arcilla expandida+vermiculita (TAEV 60:30:10 v/v). En la producción de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L) frente a la utilización actual del serrín sin compostar (SSC), las mezclas alternativas de bagazo de maguey+turba (BMT 70:30 v/v), fibra de coco de Río Grande (FCRG 100v/v) y corteza de pino+turba (CPT 70:30 v/v), presentaron los mejores resultados en rendimientos. Así mismo, en la producción de plántulas de tomate las dos mezclas alternativas de bagazo de maguey+turba+ arcilla expandida+vermiculita (BMTAEV5 50:30:10:10 v/v) y (BMTAEV6 40:40:10:10 v/v) presentaron mejores resultados que los obtenidos en la mezcla comercial (Sunshine 3), mayoritariamente utilizada en México en la producción de plántula de tomate y hortícola. ABSTRACT This paper addresses the use of some agricultural products (maguey bagasse and coconut fiber) and forestry (pine bark) in the State of Oaxaca (southern Mexico). The principal purpose is to locate, quantify and characterize these with the idea of applying them as substrates or substrate components in ornamental crops, forestry, horticultural, and their use as crop amendments. On the other hand, the reduction of peat and forest soil as main substrates is pursued. For the location of the products, registry parcel data from copra producers (coconut fiber generators) of the coastal region and mescal producers (maguey bagasse residue generators) of the central valleys region, as well as the locations of forest mills in the State of Oaxaca. A Geographic Information System (GIS) with digital mapping of environmental factors (climate, geology and soil), crop generators of residues (maguey bagasse, coconut and pine bark) receptors of amendments such as protected agriculture (tomato) and extensive agriculture crops (coffee, rubber, lemon, mango, coconut and agave). The annual production of waste is mapped and quantified with the following results: 624,000t maguey bagasse, coconut fiber 72,000 m3 and 86,000 t of pine bark. Through the study of receiving crops soils properties of and organic matter requirements of each crop, total needs of organic matter for each soil were estimated. The results of the total quantities for each crop across the state show a total of 3,112,000 t of organic matter needed as amendment. Using that data and a mathematical algorithm, the location of two composting plants (agave bagasse and coconut fiber) and four composting plants pine bark was proposed. In order to know the by‐products that were going to be used as substrates or substrate components, their physical‐chemical composition was analyzed following UNE‐EN technics. Furthermore they were analyzed by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). For conditioning of maguey bagasse and pine bark, composting essays were conducted. At the end of 241 days the temperature and humidity of both processes were at the recommended ranges, indicating that the materials were stabilized and had reached the quality to be used as a substrate or substrate component. Coconut shells from the community of Rio Grande Oaxaca (Main copra producing area in Oaxaca) were put through a process of dry milling. Subsequently, the obtained materials were used as components for growing media. We studied the maguey bagasse compost and seven mixtures; the pine bark compost and eight blends and coconut fiber with three mixtures. These alternative substrates allow obtaining mixtures and reduce the use of forest soil, peat, vermiculite and expanded clay, making it a sustainable alternative for greenhouse production. Specific mixtures were prepared for growing Lillium, Asian and eastern hybrids (seven blends), eco‐compatible substrates for tomato (nine mixtures), for producing forest plant (seven mixtures) and for the production of horticultural seedlings (eight mixtures). Results from maguey bagasse, pine bark and mixtures obtained are summarized as follows: the maguey bagasse, with increasing volumes of peat (20, 30, 50 and 60%) and pine bark mixed with 40 and 60% peat by volume, have very recommended values of porosity, aeration capacity, water retention capacity and water‐air balance. Coconut fiber from Rio Grande had better quality than commercial coconut fiber from Morelos. Finally the agronomic evaluation of substrates‐mixtures was carried out conducting five experiments separately: 1. Production of Asiatic and Eastern Lilium in bed for cut flower, 2. Production of oriental Lillium in container for cut flower, 3.Production of forest seedlings (Pinus greggii E and Pinus oaxacana M), 4. Production of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L) and 5. Tomato seedling production in seedbed (Solanum lycopersicum L). In relation to the production of hybrid Asian Lilium in bed, pine bark substrates (CPTU 80:20 v/v), pine bark + commercial substrate (CPSC 80:20 v/v) and pine bark + peat + expanded clay + vermiculite (CPTAEV2 30:40:15:15 v/v) showed the best results. Such substrates also have adequate results for Lilium Oriental hybrid except pine bark + peat (CPTU 80:20 v / v). In the production of Lilium oriental hybrid container for cut flower, besides the CPSC and CPTAEV2 substrates, the mixture of pine bark + peat + vermiculite expanded clay (CPTAEV 70:20:5:5 v / v) showed a favorable response. In the production of Pinus greggii E and Pinus oaxacana Mirov seedlings trial, mixtures with pine bark + peat + expanded clay + vermiculite (CPTAEV2 30:40:15:15 v/v) and maguey bagasse+ peat+ expanded clay + vermiculite (BMTAEV2 30:60:5:5 v / v) are an alternative which allows reducing the use of peat, vermiculite and expanded clay in comparison with the control substrate made of peat + expanded clay+ vermiculite (60:30 TAEV: 10 v/v). In the production of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L), alternative mixes of maguey bagasse + peat (BMT 70:30 v/v), coconut fiber from Rio Grande (FCRG 100 v / v) and pine bark + peat (CPT 70:30 v / v) showed the best results in yields versus the current use of sawdust without compost (SSC). Likewise, in the production of tomato seedlings of the two alternative mixtures maguey bagasse + peat expanded clay + vermiculite (BMTAEV5 50:30:10:10 v/v) and (BMTAEV6 40:40:10:10 v/v) had better results than those obtained in the commercial mixture (Sunshine 3), mainly used in Mexico in tomato seedling production and horticulture.

La fusariosis del cuello y de las raíces del tomate ("mancha chocolate"), causada por el hongo F. o. f. sp. radicis-lycopersici, es una micosis cada vez más extendida en los cultivos de tomate de las provincias de Almería y Granada. Su gravedad es alta, llegando a alcanzar al 78% de las plantas en algún invernadero con cultivo sobre fibra de coco. Ante esta situación, se estimó necesario evaluar la resistencia de patrones utilizados para injertar variedades de tomate. Así, 16 patrones fueron valorados frente a una cepa muy patógena del hongo. Los patrones fueron:CLXTPG01, AR9704, AR97015, AR97009, Morgan, Spirit, Herman, Armstrong, Arnold, Big Power, Emperador, 61-071, Montezuma, Beaufort, Multifort, Maxifort, Tovi Star y Alegro. Dos ensayos sobre plantas en estado de 6-8 hojas verdaderas bien formadas, mostraron que todos los patrones expresaron una resistencia completa, exceptuando los denominados CLXTPG01 y AR97015. Entendemos que esta información es necesaria debidio a la escasa disponibilidad.

Este proyecto se enmarca dentro de la Computación Simbólica y de los fundamentos matemáticos del Diseño Geométrico Asistido por ordenador (CAGD). Se abordara uno de los problemas principales en el ámbito del CAGD y que es la manipulación de las Curvas Concoide. La importancia del avance en la manipulación de las curvas concoide radica en el papel fundamental que desempeñan en múltiples aplicaciones en la actualidad dentro de campos de diversa índole tales como la medicina, la óptica, el electromagnetismo, la construcción, etc. El objetivo principal de este proyecto es el diseño e implementación de algoritmos para el estudio, cálculo y manipulación de curvas concoides, utilizando técnicas propias del Calculo Simbólico. Esta implementación se ha programado utilizando el sistema de computación simbólica Maple. El proyecto consiste en dos partes bien diferenciadas, una parte teórica y otra más practica. La primera incluye la descripción geométrica y definición formal de curvas concoide, así como las ideas y propiedades básicas. De forma más precisa, se presenta un estudio matemático sobre el análisis de racionalidad de estas curvas, explicando los algoritmos que serán implementados en las segunda parte, y que constituye el objetivo principal de este proyecto. Para cerrar esta parte, se presenta una pequeña introducción al sistema y a la programación en Maple. Por otro lado, la segunda parte de este proyecto es totalmente original, y en ella el autor desarrolla las implementaciones en Maple de los algoritmos presentados en la parte anterior, así como la creación de un paquete Maple que las recoge. Por último, se crean las paginas de ayudas en el sistema Maple para la correcta utilización del paquete matemático anteriormente mencionado. Una vez terminada la parte de implementación, se aplican los algoritmos implementados a una colección de curvas clásicas conocidas, recogiendo los datos y resultados obtenidos en un atlas de curvas. Finalmente, se presenta una recopilación de las aplicaciones más destacadas en las que las concoides desempeñan un papel importante así como una breve reseña sobre las concoides de superficies, objeto de varios estudios en la actualidad y a los que se considera que el presente proyecto les puede resultar de gran utilidad. Abstract This project is set up in the framework of Symbolic Computation as well as in the implementation of algebraic-geometric problems that arise from Computer Aided Geometric Design (C.A.G.D.) applications. We address problems related to conchoid curves. The importance of these curves is the fundamental role that they play in current applications as medicine, optics, electromagnetism, construction, etc. The main goal of this project is to design and implement some algorithms to solve problems in studying, calculating and generating conchoid curves with symbolic computation techniques. For this purpose, we program our implementations in the symbolic system “Maple". The project consists of two differentiated parts, one more theoretical part and another part more practical. The first one includes the description of conchoid curves as well as the basic ideas about the concept and its basic properties. More precisely, we introduce in this part the mathematical analysis of the rationality of the conchoids, and we present the algorithms that will be implemented. Furthermore, the reader will be brie y introduced in Maple programming. On the other hand, the second part of this project is totally original. In this more practical part, the author presents the implemented algorithms and a Maple package that includes them, as well as their help pages. These implemented procedures will be check and illustrated with some classical and well known curves, collecting the main properties of the conchoid curves obtained in a brief atlas. Finally, a compilation of the most important applications where conchoids play a fundamental role, and a brief introduction to the conchoids of surfaces, subject of several studies today and where this project could be very useful, are presented.

Direct Steam Generation (DSG) in Linear Fresnel (LF) solar collectors is being consolidated as a feasible technology for Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants. The competitiveness of this technology relies on the following main features: water as heat transfer fluid (HTF) in Solar Field (SF), obtaining high superheated steam temperatures and pressures at turbine inlet (500ºC and 90 bar), no heat tracing required to avoid HTF freezing, no HTF degradation, no environmental impacts, any heat exchanger between SF and Balance Of Plant (BOP), and low cost installation and maintenance. Regarding to LF solar collectors, were recently developed as an alternative to Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) technology. The main advantages of LF are: the reduced collector manufacturing cost and maintenance, linear mirrors shapes versus parabolic mirror, fixed receiver pipes (no ball joints reducing leaking for high pressures), lower susceptibility to wind damages, and light supporting structures allowing reduced driving devices. Companies as Novatec, Areva, Solar Euromed, etc., are investing in LF DSG technology and constructing different pilot plants to demonstrate the benefits and feasibility of this solution for defined locations and conditions (Puerto Errado 1 and 2 in Murcia Spain, Lidellin Newcastle Australia, Kogran Creek in South West Queensland Australia, Kimberlina in Bakersfield California USA, Llo Solar in Pyrénées France,Dhursar in India,etc). There are several critical decisions that must be taken in order to obtain a compromise and optimization between plant performance, cost, and durability. Some of these decisions go through the SF design: proper thermodynamic operational parameters, receiver material selection for high pressures, phase separators and recirculation pumps number and location, pipes distribution to reduce the amount of tubes (reducing possible leaks points and transient time, etc.), etc. Attending to these aspects, the correct design parameters selection and its correct assessment are the main target for designing DSG LF power plants. For this purpose in the recent few years some commercial software tools were developed to simulatesolar thermal power plants, the most focused on LF DSG design are Thermoflex and System Advisor Model (SAM). Once the simulation tool is selected,it is made the study of the proposed SFconfiguration that constitutes the main innovation of this work, and also a comparison with one of the most typical state-of-the-art configuration. The transient analysis must be simulated with high detail level, mainly in the BOP during start up, shut down, stand by, and partial loads are crucial, to obtain the annual plant performance. An innovative SF configurationwas proposed and analyzed to improve plant performance. Finally it was demonstrated thermal inertia and BOP regulation mode are critical points in low sun irradiation day plant behavior, impacting in annual performance depending on power plant location.

Debido a la situación energética actual, el aumento de la demanda de petróleo y precio, así como su carácter no renovable, hace necesaria la búsqueda de alternativas viables para su uso como combustible. Una de ellas es el biodiésel, ya que tiene características similares y puede ser usado como sustituto de los combustibles convencionales, sin necesidad de grandes modificaciones en el motor. Hasta ahora los estudios se habían centrado en los esteres metílicos de ácidos grasos (FAMEs) por razones meramente económicas. El proyecto tiene como objetivo el estudio de los esteres etílicos de ácidos grasos (FAEEs) para establecer una correlación entre su estudio y propiedades. Las propiedades estudiadas han sido la estabilidad de la oxidación mediante el método Rancimat y su comportamiento en frío mediante un calorímetro diferencial de barrido (DSC) de FAEEs puros y de FAEEs de linaza, coco, palma, soja, colza y espino amarillo.
