El 25 de abril, en la UPS – Quito se inició el Taller de Desarrollo y Seguridad Alimentaria bajo la dirección de Ana Afonso Gallegos, PHD, investigadora extrajera que forma parte del Proyecto «Prometeo Viejos Sabios» de la Secretaría Nacional de Educación Superior, Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (SENESCYT).

Afonso, de nacionalidad española, es también investigadora del Grupo de Investigación en Planificación y Desarrollo Sostenible del Desarrollo Rural Local (GESPLAN) de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, España y cuenta con una destacada trayectoria académica y profesional en el área de Agronomía.

En Ecuador, la especialista colabora con el Gobierno de la Provincia de Manabí y con la UPS. En la primera institución dirige el Programa en Seguridad Alimentaria, mientras que en la segunda realiza la gestión de conocimiento para socializar los resultados de la experiencia en Manabí.

La gestión de conocimiento que se realizaen la UPS será a través del desarrollo de talleres para capacitación de docentes y estudiantes en estas temáticas, además de la elaboración de artículos científicos que serán escritos con el apoyo de investigadores de la universidad con la intención de publicarlos en revistas científicas.

El Taller de Desarrollo y Seguridad Alimentaria se extenderá por un mes. Posteriormente, se prevé la realización de dos talleres adicionales con la intención de socializar los productos y elaborar un artículo científico.

Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Pages 11299: Determination of the Sound Intensity Vector Field from Synchronized Sound Pressure Waveforms 4 diciembre, 2024
Visualization of vector acoustic fields using sound intensity measurements is a very interesting field of acoustics and has numerous applications. Unfortunately, sound intensity measurement itself requires specialized measuring instruments (presure–presure (PP) or pressure–velocity (PU)-type probes). This article presents a simplified and low-cost method of sound intensity measurement based on sound pressure measurements made synchronously. This […]

Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Pages 11308: Timed-Release Silica Microcapsules for Consistent Fragrance Release in Topical Formulations 4 diciembre, 2024
Microcapsules are widely utilized in various applications to preserve active ingredients for prolonged durations while enabling controlled release. However, limited release of active ingredients often hampers their effectiveness in daily-use products. In this study, we demonstrated the synthesis of silica core–shell microcapsules designed for controlled fragrance release in topical formulations. The microcapsules were synthesized via […]

Convolutional neural networks (CNN) and Vision Transformers (ViT) have long been the main backbone networks for visual classification in the field of deep learning. Although ViT has recently received more attention than CNN due to its excellent fitting ability, their scalability is largely limited by the quadratic complexity of attention computation. For the determination of […]
