Por invitación de la Vicepresidencia de la República del Ecuador, estudiantes de la Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica de la Sede Quito, en compañía del docente Ing. Tomás Ibujes, visitaron el proyecto hidroeléctrico Coca Codo Sinclair en la provincia de Napo y Sucumbíos el pasado 7 de abril.

La visita se desarrolló dentro del programa del Gobierno que busca socializar con actores universitarios las construcciones en ejecución. Los estudiantes pudieron presenciar el rompimiento de la última capa de roca con lo que se concluye la apertura del túnel 25 Km, el mismo que conducirá las aguas del río Coca hasta el embalse compensador y la instalación del segundo motor generador en la casa de máquinas.

En ese encuentro también estuvo presente el vicepresidente de la República, Ing. Jorge Glas Espinel, quien saludó cordialmente a los estudiantes de la UPS y se refirió a potencialidad y capacidad de los trabajadores y universitarios ecuatorianos para enfrentar grandes retos en beneficio del país.

Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are designed to provide sufficient blood flow to patients with severe heart failure. Once implanted, the patient becomes dependent on the VAD, making it essential to prevent situations that could harm the patient while receiving circulatory support. VADs are classified as critical systems (CS), and adverse events (AEs) can lead to […]

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 5839: Enhancement of the Thermostability of Microbacterium Esterase by Combinatorial Rational Design 11 diciembre, 2024
The esterase EstSIT01 from Microbacterium can catalyze the asymmetric hydrolysis of meso-dimethyl ester to produce the crucial chiral intermediate (4S, 5R)-hemimethyl ester for d-biotin synthesis. Despite its high yields and stereoselectivity, the low thermostability of EstSIT01 limits its practical application. Herein, two kinds of rational strategies were combined to enhance the thermostability of EstSIT01. Based […]

The advancement of synthetic host–guest chemistry has played a pivotal role in exploring and quantifying weak non-covalent interactions, unraveling the intricacies of molecular recognition in both chemical and biological systems. Macrocycles, particularly calix[4]resorcinarene-based cavitands, have demonstrated significant utility in receptor design, facilitating the creation of intricately organized architectures. Within the realm of macrocycles, these cavitands […]

Herein, a high selective epoxidation of isobutene was achieved by heterogeneously dispersed MoSe2 with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), which further showed versatile substrate scopes and well-retained activity among recycling tests. A rational mechanism is proposed based on extensive control experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, surprisingly unveiling the metal–oxo and radical mediated pathways dramatically accelerated by […]
