Plan de negocios para la creación de una empresa de servicio de mensajería mediante la utilización de drones en la ciudad de Quito
No full textDron & Drop is an innovative courier service proposal that mainly uses drones to deliver packages around Quito. This service represents a revolutionary invention for the delivery market because it offers many benefits for companies and customers, primarily determined by a faster delivery process and a reduction in the pollution of the environment. The process of distribution will significantly decrease because the service will avoid the long lines of traffic existing in the city. The environment will also have a positive output from this service because the CO2 emissions will be reduced. The drones will have a GPS device to follow the different routes of the delivery processes and also to complete the distribution of products in less time than the other courier services. Those aspects will generate greater confidence and security between the service and the customers. The main objective of this Senior Thesis is to present the feasibility of this project and the positive aspects resulting from the implementation of this entrepreneurship in different areas. Those areas are industry, customer acceptance, and financial viability.Dron & Drop es una propuesta de servicio de mensajería innovadora, ya que realizará sus entregas por medio de drones de carga, siendo así más rápida que la competencia, reduciendo tiempos de respuesta a consecuencia del tráfico de la ciudad de Quito, además de ser una buena alternativa para el medio ambiente ya que no contamina con CO2 como los medios convencionales de transporte en mensajería..

Evaluación del efecto de una dieta basada en propilenglicol sobre cetosis e indicadores zootécnicos vs una dieta normal en vacas lecheras postparto en el Chaupi
No full textKetosis is a disease related to the energy deficit found in milk production cows due to the decrease of the bodys ketones in the blood, as an effect of the decrease in the consumption of dry matter and a higher energy requirement, in the transition period. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of an energy diet (propylene glycol) about ketosis and zootechnical parameters in high-production milk cows in the puerperium in El Chaupi, Pichincha province. It was carried out on a farm dedicated to milk production, which manages a total of 691 cows, of which 20 pre-calving selected cows will be used through the inclusion and exclusion criteria, from the second calving on, which will enter the study on day 1 postpartum where 10 were divided to the experimental group and 10 to the control group. The two groups were sampled (ß-hydroxybutyrate, weight, and body condition) on postpartum days 1, 7, and 14 and the experimental group was given propylene glycol to the diet with a daily oral intake at 14:00 hours before milking with a 350 ml dose, on the other hand, milk production was measured in liters per day from postpartum day 1 to 14 in the two groups. The results are analyzed first by determining the data normality, where the data follows a normal distribution on all the variables, then we analyze the measures of central tendency, and to analyze if the data have changes in the different groups and samples, we used t-test and ANOVA (for parametric variables) and U of Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis (used for non-parametric variables) resulting in a confidence interval of 95 percent, this way It was obtained as a result that the use of propylene glycol did not show significant differences (P 0.05) for any variable. In conclusion, the use of this energy supplement (propylene glycol) has no effect on ß-hydroxybutyrate, weight, body condition and milk.La cetosis es una enfermedad relacionada al deficit energético presente en vacas de producción de leche por la disminución de cuerpo cetonicos en sangre, como efecto de la disminución de consumo de materia seca y mayor requerimiento de energía, en el periodo de transición..

Evaluación del encalostramiento en terneros de engorde sin intervención del personal en una hacienda en El Carmen-Manabí mediante valoración de proteínas totales séricas con refractometría
No full textOne of the common problems in beef cattle rising is knowing if there is an adequate intake of colostrum for newborn calves. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of colostrum intake by refractometry in newborn calves that did not receive any type of intervention during peripartum. Another aim of this study was to perform an analysis to determinate the association of the level of total serum proteins (PT) of the neonates with the variables of the mother like birth number, type of delivery, body condition at delivery and the reproductive technique applied in the last pregnancy This research was carried out at the Hacienda San Jorge, located in El Carmen-Manabí, where the births were monitored over a period of two months to obtain the total serum protein values of the neonates and thus be able to evaluate their coostrum intake. PT data followed a normal distribution with a p-value of 0.16. In the result of the birth number and the total protein concentration of the neonates, a p-value of 0.039 was obtained, which indicated significant differences. A “Tukey Post-Hoc test” showed that the difference is given between females of first delivery (equal 5.56g / dL; SD equal 0.32) and fourth-delivery females (equal 7.92g / dL; SD equal1.11). A p-value of 0.019 was obtained which showed that there are significant differences in the concentration of PT between females (equal 7g / dL; SD equal 0.81) and males (equal 7.6g / dL; SD equal1.45) born in this property. However, no significant differences were found in the outcome of variables such as body condition at birth and reproductive technique. In conclusion, in this study the variables were not related to the level of collision but a general average of PT of 7.27g / dL (SD equal 1.23) indicates that with this type of management levels are being reached within the reference framework of PT (5.5-8 g / dL).Una de las preocupaciones más comunes en la ganadería de carne es el saber si se está dando un encalostramiento adecuado en los neonatos de los predios. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el nivel de encalostramiento mediante refractometría en terneros de engorde recién nacidos que no recibieron intervención del personal durante el periparto. Otro de los objetivos de este estudio fue realizar un análisis para determinar la asociación del nivel de proteínas totales séricas de los neonatos con las variables de la madre como número de parto, tipo de parto, condición corporal al parto y la técnica reproductiva aplicada en la última gestación. Esta investigación fue desarrollada en la Hacienda San Jorge, ubicada en El Carmen-Manabí donde se realizó un monitoreo de los partos en un período de dos meses para obtener los valores de proteínas séricas totales de los neonatos y así poder evaluar su encalostramiento. Los datos de PT siguieron una distribución normal con un p-valor de 0.16. En el resultado de número de parto y la concentración de proteínas totales de los neonatos se obtuvo un p-valor de 0.039 lo que indicó diferencias significativas, Un “Post-Hoc test de Tukey” demostró que la diferencia es dada entre hembras primer parto (igual 5,56g/dL; SD igual 0.32) y hembras de cuarto parto (igual 7,92g/dL; SD igual1.11). Se obtuvo un p-valor de 0.019 que demostró que existen diferencias significativas en la concentración de PT entre las hembras (igual 7g/dL; SD igual 0.81) y los machos ( igual 7,6g/dL; SD igual 1.45) nacidos en este predio. Sin embargo, en el resultado de variables como condición corporal al parto y la técnica reproductiva no se encontraron diferencias significativas. En conclusión, en este estudio las variables no se relacionaron con el nivel de encalostramiento pero una media general de PT de 7,27g/dL(SD igual1.23) indica que con este tipo de manejo se está llegando a niveles dentro del marco referencial de PT (5,5-8 g/dL)
Uso de alga (Chlorella spp.) como colorante natural en confitería
No full textThe trend of consumption of processed foods has changed, consumers are looking for clean label foods, which contain fewer synthetic additives. Artificial colorants in the food industry are used for their characteristics of solubility, resistance and low cost; however, these colorants have been studied for their adverse effects, so many companies are looking for alternatives to reformulate their products. Taking into account consumer requirements and the biodiversity that Ecuador has, Chlorella spp. Has been used as a natural colorant in confectionery. Chlorella is a microalgae considered beneficial for its nutritional properties, in addition this algae has up to four times more chlorophyll (compared to spinach and spirulina), 60 percent of its total composition is in protein. The development of the research had three stages, which were from the propagation of the algae, addition of Chlorella in the gummy and analysis of acceptability of the final product. The methodological process for the first stage was carried out using bibliographic data on the cultivation and harvesting processes of Chlorella, using standardized propagation techniques, obtaining yields of 0,43 g/ L. The second stage was to take a formulation of gummies and substitute synthetic dye for dry seaweed, in this case for 1 percent of the total formulation. Finally, acceptability analyzes were carried out (control, commercial gummy and gummy with Chlorella-based dye), through surveys of 10 people of different ages. It was obtained as a result that the addition of 1 percent of microalgae to the gummy formulation is not an ideal quantity since the green color was very intense. However, the gummy with natural coloring was considered the one with the best texture.La tendencia de consumo de alimentos procesados ha cambiado, los consumidores buscan alimentos de etiqueta limpia, los cuales contengan menos aditivos sintéticos..

Descifrando la esencia musical de Ok computer: composición de dos canciones de rock basadas en el análisis estilístico del disco Ok computer de la banda Británica Radiohead
No full textThis work consists on the composition of two rock songs that were created by using elements from the stylistic analysis of the “Ok Computer” album by the British band Radiohead. Radiohead is considered one of the most acclaimed bands of the 21st century and Ok Computer is one of the most successful albums from their entire musical career and the history of rock. This motivated me to carry out this work in order to find the musical resources that led Radiohead to success. One of the main objectives of this project is to determine certain musical resources that capture the musical essence of the album to then apply these elements into two rock compositions. The analytic methods that I used in this work are The Functional Tonal, The Treatment Of The Microform by Guillo Espel and the Formal Analysis Of The Sentence by Alejandro Martínez, which will provide some harmonic, melodic, rhythmic and formal resources that will be later implemented in the compositions.Este trabajo consiste en la composición de dos canciones de rock basadas en el análisis estilístico del disco Ok Computer de la banda británica Radiohead. Al ser Radiohead considerada una de las bandas más aclamadas del sigo XXI y Ok Computer uno de los discos más exitosos en toda su carrera musical y de la historia del rock, me motivó a realizar este trabajo para encontrar los recursos musicales que llevaron al éxito a este álbum. Uno de los principales objetivos de este proyecto será el determinar ciertos recursos musicales que plasmen la esencia musical del álbum para luego ser aplicados a dos composiciones de rock. Los métodos de análisis utilizados en este trabajo son el tonal funcional, el tratamiento de la microforma de Guillo Espel y el análisis formal de la oración de Alejandro Martínez, los cuales proporcionarán ciertos recursos armónicos, melódicos, rítmicos y formales que serán implementados en las composiciones
