Jatropha to Get Biodiesel

Jatropha to Get Biodiesel

In the University there is a plantation of jatropha macrocarpa. This native plant has a great potential to produce biodiesel and it is particularly valued because it is a source which doesn’t compete with the extraction of nourishment. Jatropha oil is good quality and it is abundant in its seeds, which makes it apt to generate biofuels.

Analysis of Pymes in Comodoro Rivadavia

Analysis of Pymes in Comodoro Rivadavia

The School of Engineering presented the partial results of a study of pymes (small and middle-sized enterprises) of the metal-mechanic sector of the city of Comodoro Rivadavia. The report revealed that almost half of the enterprises polled are in charge of the production and services of petroleum operators and that the sector occupies almost 3,000 highly trained workers. Safety and environment indexes are the highest in average and the lowest are innovation and market opening.

First Lithium-Ion Battery Vehicle in Latin America

First Lithium-Ion Battery Vehicle in Latin America

The electric tricycle developed by researchers in La Plata travelled at the beginning of December along Ruta 2 towards Mar del Plata. It was the first long-distance trip and a fundamental test to evaluate its performance and autonomy. It is the first vehicle in Latin America which works with lithium batteries, a mineral which constitutes a clean energy source and which can become an energetic alternative for Argentina.

Point First Technology to Follow Vicunas in Argentina’s Puna

Point First Technology to Follow Vicunas in Argentina’s Puna

A team of researchers developed a system of high technology collars to follow vicunas. They were endangered and they are now considered as “vulnerable”, so it is fundamental to take care of them and preserve them through a study of their behavior and habitat. The production of ponchos and blankets with vicuna fibers is one of the main economic activities in the region.

How to Predict the Urban Drainage with Radar Images

How to Predict the Urban Drainage with Radar Images

In the terminal installed in the UNL, researchers study the behavior of the water fallen in urban and rural basins. Through radar images, more realistic rain spatial distribution models are developed. The analysis of the evolution of storms permits to forecast in a few hours and get strategic information for decision-making.

Construction of a Machine Identical to One of NASA through a Picture

Just an image was enough for a group of engineers to create a machine for tests almost unique in the country. It is used to study the wearing of materials between themselves and also to verify conditions in failure analysis. With the new equipment they do works for different companies and the funds collected are used to set new equipment which graduate and post graduate students use.
