TripAdvisor reviews as a teaching tool in the Tourism Spanish Classroom
2021
RESUMEN: Este artículo tiene como objetivo señalar la importancia de incluir y aprovechar en el aula de español con fines profesionales (Efp) los nuevos materiales del ámbito del turismo que han surgido en los últimos años. El trabajo parte del análisis pragmalingüístico de un corpus de elaboración propia de comentarios negativos de TripAdvisor. Después se señalan sus posibilidades didácticas para su implementación en el aula de español del turismo. ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article is to point out the importance of including and taking advantage of the new materials in the field of tourism that have emerged in recent years in the Spanish classroom for professional purposes (Efp). The w…
A new Collinear Apparatus for Laser Spectroscopy and Applied Science (COALA).
2020
We present a new collinear laser spectroscopy setup that has been designed to overcome systematic uncertainty limits arising from high-voltage and frequency measurements, beam superposition, and collisions with residual gas that are present in other installations utilizing this technique. The applied methods and experimental realizations are described, including an active stabilization of the ion-source potential, new types of ion sources that have not been used for collinear laser spectroscopy so far, dedicated installations for pump-and-probe measurements, and a versatile laser system referenced to a frequency comb. The advanced setup enables us to routinely determine transition frequenci…
Enhanced alignment and orientation of polar molecules by vibrational resonant adiabatic passage
2007
The authors show that polar molecules can be adiabatically aligned and oriented by laser pulses more efficiently when the laser frequencies are vibrationally resonant. The aligned molecules are found in a superposition of vibrational pendular states, each associated with the alignment of the rotor in one vibrational state. The authors construct the dressed potential associated with this mechanism. Values of detunings and field amplitudes are given to optimize the degree of alignment and orientation for the CO molecule.
Automotive Radar in a UAV to Assess Earth Surface Processes and Land Responses
2020
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in earth science research has drastically increased during the last decade. The reason being innumerable advantages to detecting and monitoring various environmental processes before and after certain events such as rain, wind, flood, etc. or to assess the current status of specific landforms such as gullies, rills, or ravines. The UAV equipped sensors are a key part to success. Besides commonly used sensors such as cameras, radar sensors are another possibility. They are less known for this application, but already well established in research. A vast number of research projects use professional radars, but they are expensive and difficult to hand…
Systems Approach to Eastern Baltic Coastal Zone Management
2020
Relying on the results of multivariate analysis of the re-analysis case studies from the BaltCoast project, specific features of integrated coastal management (ICM) approaches in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and the Kaliningrad Oblast of the Russian Federation are highlighted in this paper. Eleven Eastern Baltic ICM case studies have been re-analyzed in-depth, which was the main focus of the present paper, covering a wide range of coastal landscapes, themes, policy issues, and ICM approaches. Five principal components explaining 84.86% of the total variance of ICM factor scores have been elicited by calculating rotation sums of squared loadings: (1) Stakeholder Involvement
Dual-purpose wheat technology: a tool for ensuring food security and livestock sustainability in cereal-based cropping pattern
2020
Wheat cultivation under a dual-purpose (DP) system holds great potential to provide additional fodder for livestock with marginal grain reduction. This study explores the potential of wheat as a DP...
Glomales species associated with surface and deep rhizosphere of Faidherbia albida in Senegal
2000
Five arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal species were isolated and propagated from surface and deep rhizospheres of Faidherbia albida trees growing in two ecoclimatic zones of West Africa: the semi-arid Sahelian and the more humid Sudano-Guinean areas. Of these species, Glomus aggregatum, Glomus caledonium, and Glomus mosseae were trapped by F. albida roots when cultivated with either surface or deep soils. Glomus fasciculatum was found exclusively at the semi-arid Sahelian sites of Louga and Diokoul and Gigaspora margarita was isolated only from 16.5-m and 34-m-deep samples. Comparable glomalean fungal species richness was identified in deep (1.5–34 m) and surface (0.15 m) samples. The isol…
Gas Exchanges and Stem Water Potential Define Stress Thresholds for Efficient Irrigation Management in Olive (Olea europea L.)
2018
With climate change and decreased water supplies, interest in irrigation scheduling based on plant water status is increasing. Stem water potential (ΨSWP) thresholds for irrigation scheduling in olive have been proposed, however, a physiologically-based evaluation of their reliability is needed. A large dataset collected at variable environmental conditions, growing systems, and genotypes was used to characterize the relation between ΨSWP and gas exchanges for olive. Based on the effect of drought stress on the ecophysiological parameters monitored, we described three levels of stress: no stress (ΨSWP above about −2 MPa), where the high variability of stomatal conductance (gs) suggests a ti…
Influence des phosphates naturels et des mycorhizes à vésicules et à arbuscules sur la croissance et la nutrition minérale de Zizyphus mauritiana Lam…
1998
Rock phosphate and vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza effects on growth and mineral nutrition of Zizyphus mauritiana Lam. in an alkaline soil. The influence of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) and rock phosphate (RP) was studied on jujube (Zizyphus mauritiana Lam.), a multipurpose fruit tree in Sahelian agroforestry systems. Jujubes were inoculated or not by Clomus manihotis Howeler, Sieverding & Schenck in an alkaline sandy soil to which were added five levels of RP (12 % of P) : 0.00, 0.31, 0.62, 1.25 et 2.50 g P/kg of soil, equivalent to 0, 775, 1 550, 3 125 et 6 250 kg P ha -1 . The jujubes seedlings grew poorly without mycorrhizal colonization and without RP applications (figures 1a…
Effects of the filter-feeding benthic bivalve corbicula fluminea on plankton community and water quality in aquatic ecosystems: A mesocosm study
2021
The influence of filter-feeding bivalves on plankton communities, nutrients, and water quality in a given aquatic ecosystem is so profound that they can be considered ecosystem engineers. In a 70-day mesocosm experiment, we tested the hypothesis that Corbicula fluminea would change plankton community structure by reducing small zooplankton and large phytoplankton and improve water quality by reducing nutrients. We monitored levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, organic suspended solids (OSS), and light at the sediment surface. Within the plankton, phytoplankton biomass (as Chl a, >
