Reconstruyen crecidas de ríos en Santa Fe a partir de fotos antiguas

A partir de viejas imágenes, investigadores aplicaron un procedimiento que permitió conocer cómo fue la creciente del río Salado en 1914. Los especialistas perfeccionaron un método de fotogrametría que permite obtener información métrica de los objetos registrados en las fotos, a partir de un software que genera modelos en 3D. El procedimiento servirá para analizar otros casos.

World Project to Measure Seismic Risk in Vulnerable Cities

World Project to Measure Seismic Risk in Vulnerable Cities

The GEM (Global Earthquake Model) started in 2009 with the objective of gathering world information about active faults and seismic sources. After years of work, its objectives were redefined privileging the study of the vulnerability of the most densely populated zones. “Great losses will occur, because these cities have grown without planning and because they have done it without seismic resistant buildings”, explained Carlos Costa, one of the researchers of the project.

Mathematical Models for Epidemic Propagation

Researchers developed original mathematical models for epidemics propagation. These models consider spatial aspects of disease propagation dynamics, given that they evaluate the individuals’ movement. The importance of the population’s displacement, the incidence of their distribution and the results produced by control measures constitute some of the contributions of the models developed.

Wall Lizards will become Extinct due to Global Warming

An international research project, which focuses in local genus and species, determined that in less than 70 years, the 20 percent of the wall lizard species of the planets will become extinct. In order to carry out the study, an artificial lizard model with microchips was used, as well as a mathematical extinction risk model. The loss of diversity of wall lizards will have consequences for all the food chain.

New Software which Measures the Height of Lots

Researchers created a computing model capable of establishing precise equivalences between the measurements of height given by GPS and the traditional National Altimeter System. Through the combination of both techniques the development permits a new exactness in the measurement, as the GPS has an error margin of up to 40 m. and the altimeter system, elaborated decades ago with manual measurement instruments takes too much time. It will be vital for the development of hydric and road works.

This equipment is an observatory integrated by high complexity instruments and it will be put into orbit in May 2010. The data provided by the satellite set up an unprecedented possibility in the field of oceanography to elaborate long term climate models. It is considered that it will orbit 14 times a day around the Earth at 647 km of height. The data gathering, as well as the command, monitoring and control of the instrument will be carried out by the Space Center Teófilo Tabanera of Córdoba.

“La investigación en cambio climático ya es estratégica para cualquier país”

El investigador de la UNNE Manuel Pulido es el único hispano que integra el Programa Mundial de Investigación en Clima. Se encuentra en la Universidad de Toronto, desarrollando una técnica para disminuir las incertezas de los modelos climáticos. Pulido fue pionero en el desarrollo del método “asimilación de datos”, para calcular efectos de pequeña escala y así, obtener mayor precisión en los modelos climáticos. Estos últimos simulan la dinámica y los procesos atmosféricos, y predicen cómo será la temperatura y el clima en el futuro. Argentina es un ejemplo de las consecuencias del clima en la sociedad: la sequía impactó en la economía y el brote de dengue -vinculado en forma directa al clima- afectó a la salud de la población.

Predicen temperatura del hormigón a través de modelos matemáticos

Los ingenieros Ricardo Das Neves Guerreiro y Oscar Miura son los primeros en estudiar las propiedades térmicas de los materiales característicos de la región de Comodoro Rivadavia empleados en la ejecución de obras civiles. El trabajo constó de tres etapas: se instrumentó una obra de hormigón macizo para medir los cambios en la temperatura, luego se determinaron experimentalmente las propiedades térmicas de los agregados y del cemento, y por último se construyó un modelo matemático basado en elementos finitos, y de sus resultados se determinaron la bondad de las predicciones y la importancia relativa de los factores que participaron. El proyecto deja abierta la posibilidad de efectuar una futura investigación acerca del estudio de la distribución de tensiones térmicas y el análisis de los riesgos de fisuración.

“El modelo pedagógico es la causa de la violencia escolar”

Según un estudio de la UNCuyo, el paradigma de la educación que diferencia al “docente” del “alumno” ya no funciona y sólo contribuye a generar más rechazo hacia el sistema educativo. Proponen una formación más política de los docentes para que puedan leer la realidad de sus alumnos. Según la investigación, las normativas escolares son experimentadas por los alumnos como un modo de violencia o amenaza, en tanto que naturalizan formas de relación violenta con sus pares porque lo consideran como un modo de “comunicarse”. El equipo de investigación rompe con el enfoque tradicional sobre la problemática, identificando como un actor más de la violencia escolar al propio sistema educativo.
