Seguridad industrial en plantas químicas y energéticas

The Mihouse project is the result of an interinstitutional and interdisciplinary work developed by professors and students from the faculties of engineering, economic sciences and social communication of the Universidad Autónoma de Occidente (UAO) and architecture at the Universidad de San Buenaventura (USB) both located in Cali, Colombia. Within the framework of this project, students from the UAO Renewable Energy and lntegrated Water Resource Management research groups participated in this project, both in charge of the UAO professors. As a result of this project, two publications have...

South American camelids (Llamas, Alpacas, Vicuñas and Guanacos) are receiving increased interest not only in South America but also on a worldwide scale. They possess some unique features such as their fine fibre and healthy meat, and their high adaptivity to many climatic regions across the world. Apart from the important productive aspects, their physical attractiveness and friendly temperament also makes them popular as pet animals. There are still many gaps in the scientific literature with regard to South American camelids. In part, this gap can be diminished by this collection of...

El presente trabajo se refiere al estudio estadístico de la distribución espacial de las variables hidráulicas de una red de acequias por una gran zona regable. Dicha zona se divide en subzonas que, a su vez, comprenden diversos sectores y/o subsectores con independencia hidráulica. Esta complejidad espacial recomienda la elaboración de un tratamiento o modelo estadístico que ofrezca una visión más ilustrativa y, a la vez, operativa de su gestión ulterior. Por otra parte, la uniformidad en la distribución del agua es una magnitud que caracteriza a cualquier sistema de riego y que...
