Nothoaspis reddelli Keirans & Clifford, 1975 (Acari, Ixodida, Argasidae): distribution extension

Abstract: The first record of Nothoaspis reddelli (nymph) in Nicaragua is presented. The morphological characters used for the determination were dorsum with a false shield or nothoaspis, presence of an anteriorly projecting hood covering half of the capitulum, medial extension of palpal article I (flaps), presence of two large setae on internal margins of flaps, leg coxae with numerous long setae, and hypostome long and pointed with apical dentition 4/4. The 16S rDNA sequence of N. reddelli from Nicaragua was identical to the 16S sequence of N. reddelli from Mexico.

Sampling and analyses of geothermal steam and geothermometer applications in krafla, theistareykir, reykjanes and svartsengi, iceland

Abstract: Krafla, Theistareykir, Reykjanes and Svartsengi are high-temperature geothermal areas in Iceland. In this report the results of sampling and analyses of fumaroles in Krafla, Theistareykir, and wells and fumaroles in Reykjanes and Svartsengi are presented. The results of the chemical gas analyses of samples from fumaroles and wells in these fields were used to estimate the temperature of reservoirs using selected gas geothermometers. Gas geothermometer temperatures were also calculated for wells in Reykjanes and Svartsengi. The estimated reservoir temperature for the Krafla sample is 315°C. The gas geothermometers predicted temperatures ranging between 227 and 406°C with a median value of about 290°C. The estimated reservoir temperature for Theistareykir is 280°C. The gas geothermometers predicted temperatures ranging between 220 and 395°C with a median value of about 310°C. The estimated reservoir temperature for the Reykjanes fumarole samples is 295°C. The gas geothermometers predicted temperatures ranging between 240 and 430°C with a median value of about 280°C. Geothermometer results for wells in Svartsengi (SV-11, 14, 19) range between 122 and 430°C whereas the measured well temperature is 240°C. The median of the geothermometer results for the Svartsengi wells ranges from 229°C for well 19 to 289°C for well 14. The measured temperature in well 12 at Reykjanes is about 290°C but the range of temperatures obtained from gas geothermometers is 192447°C with a median value of 256°C. The best fit between predicted and observed/estimated temperatures was obtained by different gas geothermometers

Health, disability, and consumption of psychoactive substances among people in a homeless situation in León (Nicaragua).

Abstract: Nicaragua is one of the countries in Latin America with lowest levels of development. In Nicaragua, people in a homeless situation are one of the most socially excluded groups, and there is a lack ...

Hacia una silvicultura sostenible en el trópico seco: el caso de la Finca Piedra Rala, Nicaragua.

Abstract: Se explica la experiencia de los productores en el manejo racional de pequenas areas de bosque tropical seco, y se analiza como la silvicultura racional tiene una capacidad de regeneracion de los bosques naturales poco productivos en la zona del Pacifico de Nicaragua. En esta zona, las condiciones socioeconomicas crea unas condiciones de gran presion sobre los remanentes de bosques que aun existen. Se concluye que es posible el desarrollo de practicas silviculturales y tecnicas de aprovechamientos que garanticen la sostenibilidad del recurso forestal y su recuperacion a largo plazo.

Medición de la contribución de la Bioeconomía: Caso Nicaragua

Abstract: La presente investigacion se focaliza en medir la bioeconomia de Nicaragua utilizando el enfoque canadiense de la economia bio-basada, siguiendo las sub-categorias de Sistema de Clasicacion Industrial Norteamericano (NACIS). Los datos y registros disponibles en el Banco Central de Nicaragua registrados en el Sistema de Cuentas Nacionales fueron utilizados para homologar las subcategorias del NACIS y el Clasicador Industrial Internacional Uniforme (CIIU) revision 3 de las Naciones Unidas que permitio homologar los principales componentes de la economia bio-basada. El ano base de referencia fue 1994 para el periodo 1994-2000 y 2006 como ano de referencia para el 2006-2007. Los resultados evidencian que la Bioeconomia contribuyo al PIB en un 28 % durante el periodo 1994-2000, en cambio durante el nuevo ano de referencia 2006 se estimo un 7 % en promedio consistente con las estimaciones de Pellerin [24]. De los componentes principales se destaco la industria de quimica organica con un 74% y 75 % respectivamente, durante el periodo 2006-2007. En segundo orden el componente de las actividades de agricultura y cultivos con una contribucion del 22%, para el periodo 2006-2007, pero represento el primer orden para el periodo 1994-2000 y el componente de salud, industrias medicas y farmaceuticas represento una contribucion de un 24 % durante el periodo 1994-2000, pero no asi para el siguiente periodo, que al igual que los alimentos y bio-procesos de bebidas tienen una baja contribucion.
