Les souches d'E. coli résistantes aux antibiotiques
2016
National audience; Le projet "CIREC" vise à étudier la prévalence et la caractérisation des souches d’E.coli productrices de β-lactamase à spectre élargi (BLSE) de type CTX-M dans les eaux usées et les boues issues d’une quarantaine de stations d’épuration (STEP) de la région Bourgogne. Puis, il s’agira d’identifier et caractériser les voies possibles de transfert de ces souches, les rejets d’effluents traités des STEP dans les rivières pouvant avoir des conséquences sur la contamination de la faune aquatique d’eau douce.
Les souches d’Escherichia coli résistantes aux antibiotiques
2017
Parmi les bactéries multi-résistantes, les entérobactéries productrices de β-lactamase à spectre élargi (BLSE) occupent une place croissante. Parmi celles-ci, c’est Escherichia coli (entérobactérie commensale du tube digestif de l’homme et de l’animal) qui est l’espèce la plus concernée par cette production enzymatique. Cependant, il existe peu de données sur l’existence de réservoirs environnementaux pour ces souches, leur capacité à survivre dans l’environnement et en particulier dans les eaux douces et dans les sols. Le projet "CIREC" visait donc à étudier la prévalence et la caractérisation des souches d’E.coli productrices de BLSE de type CTX-M dans les eaux usées et les boues issues d…
Photo-Oxidative and Soil Burial Degradation of Irrigation Tubes Based on Biodegradable Polymer Blends
2019
: Irrigation tubes based on biodegradable polymers were prepared via an extrusion-drawing process by Irritec and compared to conventional pipes made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). A commercial polylactide/poly (butyleneadipate-co-butyleneterephthalate) (PLA/PBAT) blend (Bio-Flex®
Growth and biomass partitioning of Arbutus unedo, Laurus nobilis, Phillyrea angustifolia and Rhamnus alaternus seedlings under water deficit
2013
Water scarcity in the Mediterranean areas is very common and the selection of drought tolerant species is a priority for landscaping purposes in the Mediterranean areas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of water deficit on growth and biomass partitioning of Arbutus unedo, Laurus nobilis, Phillyrea angustifolia and Rhamnus alaternus. Seventy-two seedlings per species were grown in the greenhouse in 4-liter pots and three water regimes were imposed starting on 6 April and until 9 June, 2010. One-third of the plants was well irrigated to maintain soil water content in the 25-35% range (CTR); a second group of plants was deficit-irrigated to maintain soil water content in …
Sistema di irrigazione a perno centrale
2021
L’invenzione consiste nell’impiego, nell’irrigazione pivot, dei comuni irrigatori rotanti che si utilizzano nei sistemi di irrigazione a pioggia (o per aspersione), che hanno il vantaggio, rispetto agli spruzzatori ed ai gocciolatori, di essere dotati di un ugello terminale di elevato diametro (4-30 mm). L’idea nasce quindi dalla ricerca di un sistema irriguo che conservi i benefici dell’irrigazione pivot (completa automatizzazione, manodopera limitata alla manutenzione degli apparecchi erogatori, elevata efficienza) e che al contempo rimuova del tutto il problema dell’occlusione degli apparecchi erogatori. Vengono così azzerati i costi di manodopera e, soprattutto, viene consentito l’impie…
Changes in soil redox potential in response to flood irrigation with waste water in central Mexico
2017
Irrigation with untreated sewage water adds fresh organic matter to the soil. When it is applied by flooding, as in the Mezquital Valley of Mexico, many of the pores in the soil become temporarily waterlogged and depleted of oxygen, and reduction generates nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4). We monitored the redox potential, Eh, in the soil at two sites in the Mezquital Valley to discover whether the short-term gaseous emissions matched the changes in Eh. One site is irrigated periodically by flooding with waste water and has alfalfa, rye grass and maize grown in succession; the other site grows maize with water from summer rain only. Each electrode buried in the soil for the purpose pro…
Absorption and desorption of liquid water by a superabsorbent polymer: Effect of polymer in the drying of the soil and the quality of certain plants
2001
In this work, we were interested in the study of the kinetic behavior of the reaction of drying soil representing the Marrakesh region (south of Morocco) in the presence of an superabsorbent polymer. The presence of a polymer in the soil diminished the kinetic drying of the soil, which will have as an application a reduction in water loss in the process of irrigation. The presence of a polymer in the soil enables a complete modification of the kinetic regimes controlling the soil-drying kinetic. We also realized the first study of the behavior of certain selected plants in the melange of a soil and a polymer. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 83: 234–243, 2002
Absorption and desorption of liquid water by a superabsorbent polyelectrolyte: Role of polymer on the capacity for absorption of a ground
2001
To study the potentialities of a polyelectrolyte superabsorbent for the storage of water, we have studied a ground representative of the area of Haouz (area of Marrakesh, South of Morocco) in the presence of polymer. We sought the optimal proportions allowing the best retention of water by the mixture made up of the polymer and the ground and to prolong the storage period of water in the ground. We have also studied the effect of certain ions and the pH on the capacity for absorption of polymer. These ions can be naturally present in the ground or introduced by the means of manure and pesticides. The presence of polymer in the ground makes it possible to increase the capacity for absorption…
The Effect of Plant Water Status on the Chemical Composition of Pistachio Nuts (Pistacia vera L. Cultivar Bianca)
2020
Pistachio nuts are worldwide appreciated for their chemical and organoleptic profiles. There are several studies on the influence of irrigation on pistachio productivity, whereas there are little available data on the influence on nut quality. In this study we characterized some qualitative traits of pistachio nuts cultivar Bianca in Mediterranean environment and how plant water status affected them. Water status had a positive and significant influence on the chlorophylls content, nuts from less stressed trees showed higher values of chlorophyll a (14.7 mg/100 g) and b (21.1 mg/100 g) compared than more stressed trees (9.3 and 11.5 mg/100 g for a and b, respectively). Solid phase microextr…
Aigua, irrigació, hortes i patrimoni al territori valencià.
2014
L'aigua és un deis recursos naturals més importants per a la vida quotidiana de I'ésser huma. I el País Valencia és un territori de I'area mediterrania caracteritzat per la variabilitat i escassetat deis seus recursos hidraulics. Els espais de regadiu que conté són per tant un veritable exponent del patrimoni cultural del qual pot estar orgullós un poble, perque encara són vius. De fet, la cultura de I'aigua transcendeix allo que representa el patrimoni material i referma també el seu caracter immaterial quan s'endinsa en I'ambit de la tradició oral, els sabers i les formes de ser com a poble.
