Evaluación de la eficacia de la técnica de floating system para la producción de radicchio rosso var. di Verona en condiciones controladas

La técnica de producción en Floating system constituye una alternativa económica y veloz de producción en hidroponia. Este sistema permite obtener hojas de vegetales de pequeño tamaño “Baby leaf” listas para consumir (IV Gama), cuyo consumo a nivel mundial muestra una tendencia creciente. Dicha técnica no se encuentra aún muy difundida para la producción de radicchio rosso. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto del tamaño de celda, del substrato y de la técnica de floating system sobre la producción de radicchio. Los ensayos se realizaron en cámara a 25 ºC con un fotoperíodo de 16 hs de luz y 8 de oscuridad y con una intensidad de luz de 10 000 Lux. Se utilizó un diseño experimental factorial totalmente aleatorizado, con 5 repeticiones y 3 factores, cuyos niveles fueron: 1) Tamaño de celda, (T), con 3 niveles: grande, mediano y pequeño, 2) Técnica de producción, (F), con 2 niveles: floating system y sistema convencional, 3) Sustrato, (S), con 2 niveles: vermiculita y mezcla. Se analizaron las siguientes variables: 1) peso fresco, 2) peso seco, 3) largo de planta, 4) número de hojas y 5) área foliar. Los resultados obtenidos resultan alentadores respecto del empleo de la técnica de floating system. Para la obtención de plántulas con calidad de IV Gama resulta más conveniente el empleo de celdas de 80 cm3 y sustrato mezcla.

Theoretical analysis for mechanical erosion of carbon-base materials in ablation

This article derives and provides a theoretical analysis for the mechanical erosion of carbon-base materials in ablation. The theory of mechanical erosion based on a nondimensional critical roughness parameter is proposed, The important parameters in this analytical method are independent of the test, The analysis accounts for the heating, pressure, and shear forces acting on material particles exposed to the boundary-layer flow. For the validity of a theoretical analytical method a computational example is given. The theoretical results agree fairly with the experimental data.

An optimal theory for an expansion of flow quantities to capture the flow structures

An optimal theory on how database analysis to capture the flow structures has been developed in this paper, which include the POD method as its special case. By means of the remainder minimization method in the Sobolev space, for more general optimal conditions the new theory has the potential to overcome an inherent limitation of the POD method, i.e., it cannot be used to the situations in which the optimal condition is other than the inner product global one. As an example, using the new theory, the database of a two-dimensional flow over a backward-facing step is analyzed in detail, with velocity and vorticity bases.

A unified law of motion of lithospheric plates and the driving mechanism

From observed data on lithospheric plates, a unified empirical law for plate motion,valid for continental as well as oceanic plates, is obtained in the following form: The speedof plate motion U depends linearly on a geometric parameter T_d, ratio of the sum of effectiveridge length and trench arc length to the sum of area of continental part of plate and total areaof cold sinking slab. Based on this unified law, a simple mechanical analysis shows that, themain driving forces for lithospheric plates come from push along the mid-ocean ridge andpull by the cold sinking slab, while the main drag forces consist of the viscous traction beneaththe continental part of plate and over both faces of the sinking slab. Moreover, the specific-push along ridge and pull by slab are found to be of equal magnitude.
