Determining water use of sorghum from two-source energy balance and radiometric temperatures
2011
Estimates of surface actual evapotranspiration (ET) can assist in predicting crop water requirements. An alternative to the traditional crop-coefficient methods are the energy balance models. The objective of this research was to show how surface temperature observations can be used, together with a two-source energy balance model, to determine crop water use throughout the different phenological stages of a crop grown. Radiometric temperatures were collected in a sorghum (<i>Sorghum bicolor</i>) field as part of an experimental campaign carried out in Barrax, Spain, during the 2010 summer growing season. Performance of the Simplified Two-Source Energy Balance (STSEB) model was …
Regional flow duration curves for ungauged sites in Sicily
2011
Abstract. Flow duration curves are simple and powerful tools to deal with many hydrological and environmental problems related to water quality assessment, water-use assessment and water allocation. Unfortunately the scarcity of streamflow data enables the use of these instruments only for gauged basins. A regional model is developed here for estimating flow duration curves at ungauged basins in Sicily, Italy. Due to the complex ephemeral behaviour of the examined region, this study distinguishes dry periods, when flows are zero, from wet periods using a three parameters power law to describe the frequency distribution of flows. A large dataset of streamflows has been analysed and the param…

Questo non è un flashback: frontiere della metalessi
2018
Se Gérard Genette ha contribuito in modo determinante all’annessione della metalessi dagli studi di retorica agli studi di narratologia, è stato ancora più responsabile della marcata deriva cinematografica di quegli stessi studi. Tra tanti suggerimenti ampiamente accolti dagli studiosi, forse alcune provocazioni sono però rimaste nell’ombra: il modo in cui parola e immagine interagiscono nella visualizzazione di racconti e ricordi sono stati riletti come altrettanti giochi metalettici. A poco a poco la metalessi ha finito per espandere i suoi confini, colonizzando i più insospettabili territori della rappresentazione filmica. Non sarà forse il caso di accettarne la sfida per disegnare una p…
Para llegar a la Problemgeschichte. Una introducción metodológica a la Historia del Problema
2018
This article analyses the methodological apparatus set forth by O. G. Oexle, in his mainlystudies Oexle’s works entitled L’historisme en debat: de Nietzsche a Kantorowicz, Krise desHistorismus, Krise der Wirklichkeit, and Das Problem der Problemgeschichte. This paperemphasizes the development of Oexle’s methodology, its theoretical implications and itsapplicability in the Latin American context. The consequences of this methodology for thesocial and natural sciences in contemporary academy remain of vital importance for thispaper.

Characteristics of honeymoon tourism: Chinese tourist approach
2017
En el presente trabajo, enmarcado en el turismo alternativo, se estudia el turismo de luna de miel, la elección del destino turístico y los turistas chinos en el mercado internacional. Se concluye que el turismo de luna de miel es un tipo de turismo alternativo específico con 5 características distintivas: larga duración y planificación, temporada propia, público objetivo joven, necesidades particulares y toma de decisión compartida. La investigación muestra que para los turistas chinos este tipo de turismo presenta sus propias peculiaridades. ABSTRACT Within alternative tourism framework, the aim of this paper is to research tourism honeymoon, to choose the destination and to study Chinese…
Oferta y demanda en el mercado turístico homosexual: una propuesta de estrategias de intercambio para la mejora del marketing en el segmento
2007
-Marcelo.Royo@uv.es -M.Eugenia.Ruiz@uv.es La demanda turística homosexual presenta características diferenciales, y necesidades y motivaciones específicas a las que la gran mayoría de empresas del sector turístico no han sabido y/o podido responder. El presente trabajo trata de identificar los principales tipos de empresas u organizaciones que actúan en este mercado y que constituyen la oferta turística, definir las peculiaridades de la demanda turística homosexual en cuanto a sus necesidades y expectativas, y exponer una serie de estrategias de marketing, ya sea segmentación, posicionamiento o mezcla de marketing, a seguir por aquellas empresas del sector turístico que deseen orientarse ha…
Rainfall statistics changes in Sicily
2013
Abstract. Changes in rainfall characteristics are one of the most relevant signs of current climate alterations. Many studies have demonstrated an increase in rainfall intensity and a reduction of frequency in several areas of the world, including Mediterranean areas. Rainfall characteristics may be crucial for vegetation patterns formation and evolution in Mediterranean ecosystems, with important implications, for example, in vegetation water stress or coexistence and competition dynamics. At the same time, characteristics of extreme rainfall events are fundamental for the estimation of flood peaks and quantiles which can be used in many hydrological applications, such as design of the mos…
Sea surface temperature and torrential rains in the Valencia region: modelling the role of recharge areas
2015
Abstract. Heavy rain events are frequently recorded in the Western Mediterranean causing economic losses and even human casualties. The Western Mediterranean is a deep and almost closed sea surrounded by high mountain ranges and with little exchange of water with the Atlantic ocean. A main factor in the development of torrential rains is ocean-atmosphere exchanges of heat and moisture that can potentially destabilize air masses travelling over the sea. The study of air mass trajectories previous to the rain event permits the identification of sea areas that could probably contribute to the development or intensification of rainfall. From a previous Mediterranean sea surface temperature clim…
