Variación intraespecífica de tara Spinosa (Molina) Britton & Rose, en bosques naturales de la provincia de Jaén, Cajamarca
No full textLa especie Tara spinosa, en la actualidad es una especie altamente valorada en el mercado
internacional; especialmente en Cajamarca. Sin embargo, ha disminuido su producción y valor de
exportación de sus derivados; debido a la falta de conocimiento sobre el manejo adecuado del fruto
y factores ambientales y genéticos generando preocupación en el sector. Para abordar este
problema, se realizaron visitas a los distritos de Sallique, San Felipe y Pomahuaca, donde se
colectaron muestras de vainas maduras secas que fueron evaluadas haciendo uso de descriptores
establecidos y se realizó el análisis de componentes principales (ACP), correlaciones y
regresiones. Los datos fueron registrados en una matriz básica y procesados en el programa R,
permitiendo obtener un fenograma con dos conglomerados. Por otro lado, el ACP explicó el 77,25
% de la varianza total, considerándose aceptable y dando a mostrar que existe variación
intraespecífica en la especie; siendo 12 los caracteres morfológicos que más aportaron a la
variación. Con estos resultados, se elaboró un catálogo ilustrado de los morfotipos de tara, el cual
se espera que sea útil para futuras investigaciones y programas de manejo y conservación de la
especi
Designing for TARA: The radar control unit
No full textThis thesis describes the work done on a control system for the Transportable Atmospheric RAdar (TARA), which is located at the Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmosperic Research (CESAR). It describes the way in which this radar control unit was implemented within the TARA, by making use of a high-level programming language. The control unit consists of a PXI-system of National Instruments, LabVIEW software, a DDS from Analog Devices and provided Matlab code. The project resulted in a working prototype. The TARA itself is a FM-CW radar with the possibility of sending and receiving in multiple polarizations and orientations for weather measurements. The system was tested and most functions worked properly. During the test, the measurements with the new system generated the same data as the current system. This proved that the system is working correctly, which is of great importance for the ATMOS group, because they are planning to transport the TARA to a measurement campaign in France in 2012 using the upgraded system.Remote Sensing of the EnvironmentElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Engagement, Learning, Outreach, and Fun in 60 Seconds: Button Making at the Rutgers University Libraries
No full textButton making is a low-cost, high-impact, pop-up makerspace activity that libraries can use to facilitate outreach, connect patrons with collections, teach about copyright, and promote creativity and fun, all in just 60 seconds.
In the fall of 2016, the Rutgers University Libraries- New Brunswick Learning and Engagement team spent $518 to purchase a button maker and supplies to make 1,000 buttons. Since then, the libraries have collaborated on button projects with many departments on campus including the Rutgers Art History Student Association, the Zimmerli Art Museum, and the School of Arts & Sciences Honors program. These partnerships have helped the libraries build strong ties with the Rutgers New Brunswick communities and attracted a devoted group of button makers who regularly come to library events.
Making a button provides quick moment of engagement between a patron and a library staff member, but it is from these kinds of meaningful brief encounters that libraries can learn about their patrons’ lives and needs. These encounters can also be a source for the powerful stories, images, and statistics that help libraries demonstrate their impact and value to their communities.thanks for your help, please let me know any questions. I think we can put this version in SOAR? Best, MC

The new real-time measurement capabilities of the profiling TARA radar
No full textIn the past 10 years, the S-band FM-CW TARA (Transportable Atmospheric RAdar), placed at the Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmospheric Research (CESAR), provided in real-time vertical profiles of the Doppler moments. Classical spectral processing was carried out. The polarimetric and multi-beam measurement capabilities of the radar were not exploited in real-time. It was only possible to acquire raw data for case studies. Based on them, new algorithms were developed using spectral polarimetry and the multi-beam capability of TARA. They have been tested during the COPS (2007) and EUCAARI-IMPACT campaigns (2008). To measure in real-time the Doppler moments of three beams, the differential reflectivity, the linear depolarization ratio, the horizontal wind and the vertical mean Doppler velocity, it became necessary to upgrade TARA. This resulted in a new design of the radar control unit and a new processing based on spectral polarimetry. This major upgrade took place in 2011. TARA can now deliver multi-parameters profiles with high spatial and time resolution and raw data in real-time. They are stored with the NetCDF format. Furthermore, detailed quick-looks of all the observables are available in real-time at http://ftp.tudelft.nl/TUDelft/irctr-rse/tara/index.html. For the design of the radar control unit and processing, a flexible solution that can process the data in a high level programming language, was chosen. This was done to be able to easily implement future developments in radar signal processing and algorithms.Geoscience & Remote SensingCivil Engineering and Geoscience
Novel Dialogue 2.3: Because I Couldn't Be a Dancer: Sigrid Nunez and Tara Menon (JP)
No full textThe brilliant New York writer Sigrid Nunez's most recent novel is What Are You Going Through; her previous one, The Friend, (2018) won the National Book Award. She speaks with Tara Menon, of the Harvard English department, and author of a terrific article about Sigrid Nunez in the Sewanee Review. The conversation ranges widely and then plunges into depths. Because life is defined by grief and mourning, so too are my novels, says Nunez. She thinks her upbringing with immigrant parents who felt adrift from their homeland and her own "failure" as a dancer (recounted in her 1995 debut novel, A Feather on the Breath of God ) are the ferment from which her vocation as a writer arose. The question of genre is tossed around: "fictional memoir" perhaps, which gets confused (insultingly, Tara thinks!) with auto-fiction. But Sigrid is fascinated by establishing a reality that is entirely made-up ("not a single friend angry!"), yet also documentary in nature. Perhaps the best tag for her work is "essay novel": that allows one to do what Javier Marias calls "literary thinking." And there's a wonderfully non-Pavlovian answer to the treat question: sometimes you can just have the whiskey
