Full textLos edificios históricos de tierra son vulnerables a solicitudes externas, como terremotos, tsunamis, condiciones ambientales y otros, por lo que están bajo riesgos inaceptables. Para todos estos aspectos, los edificios de tierra necesitan una intervención indispensable pero también un diagnóstico preciso para respetar los principios modernos de restauración. Hoy en día, el campo de investigación relacionado con el análisis estructural de los edificios de tierra existentes está muy lejos de un conocimiento completo y exhaustivo. Para el estudio de este tipo de edificios, las investigaciones experimentales son obligatorias. La tesis tiene el objetivo ambicioso de cubrir la falta de conocimiento sobre el comportamiento dinámico de los edificios históricos de tierra. El trabajo comenzó con el estudio de los efectos de la temperatura y la humedad en la tierra como material. Con este fin, se construyeron muros de adobe y se analizaron mediante un monitoreo continuo de los parámetros ambientales internos y externos y de las propiedades dinámicas con el objetivo de comprender su comportamiento como sistemas de construcción. Los principales desafíos en esta etapa fueron el desarrollo de un algoritmo adecuado para identificar automáticamente los parámetros dinámicos, el estudio de la distribución interna de la temperatura y la humedad, y el análisis de los efectos ambientales en el monitoreo a largo plazo. Los resultados mostraron una buena capacidad de almacenamiento de calor de los muros y la existencia de un flujo térmico interno conectado a un efecto combinado de la temperatura del aire, el viento, la radiación solar y la orientación. Además, los efectos ambientales estacionales y diarios fueron identificados primero y luego fueron aislados de la respuesta estructural, demostrando una clara relación inversa entre la temperatura y las propiedades dinámicas. El conocimiento obtenido en esta primera etapa se aplicó a un estudio de caso real para verificar los resultados obtenidos en una escala mayor. El caso de estudio elegido fue la iglesia San Pedro de Andahuaylillas. Este templo fue construido en el siglo XVI y es la muestra más emblemática de arte religioso, solemne testimonio de la cultura andina. Para esta iglesia, se aplicó un sistema de monitoreo a largo plazo para una mejor comprensión del comportamiento de los edificios de tierra. Los resultados indicaron que la variable ambiental afecta el comportamiento estructural de dos maneras: se detectó una influencia estacional a largo plazo y una diaria a corto plazo. Los efectos estacionales causaron variaciones de hasta 8% en las frecuencias naturales, y también se verificaron influencias a corto plazo, lo que causó variaciones de hasta 3.8%. Los resultados diarios mostraron un efecto retardado de las condiciones ambientales en la respuesta estructural. Finalmente, se desarrollaron modelos de regresión lineal múltiple utilizando la humedad absoluta como variable independiente para predecir con éxito la variación de frecuencia a largo plazo con el fin de evaluar la salud estructural.

Full textThe City of Cape Town (CCT) produced its first State of Environment report in 1999 as part of their Integrated Metropolitan Environmental Policy (IMEP) development process. The first report was developed by the City's Environmental Management Department, assisted by the Environmental Evaluation Unit at the University of Cape Town. It was developed through a synthesis of the findings of specialist baseline studies, information gathered from literature reviews, issues and indicators workshops and consultation with other specialists and authorities in order to obtain a suitable reporting approach and structure. Every year, the progress in each theme is assessed in the SoE report through the collection of information. This information is compared to the information in the previous year's SoE report and long-term trends are identified. The CCT has been producing the SoE report since 1999 and has to date produced five full reports and four accompanying summary reports. There is however limited knowledge of who the users of this report are as well as how they use the report in the future. This study attempts to provide the CCT with a better indication of the answers to these questions. The sample group was limited to those users with e-mail addresses. The data for this study were collected through a questionnaire sent to all the individuals and organisations on the IMEP database who received the SoE report in the past five years. The questionnaire asked the users how they used the report, what they liked and didn't like about the reports and how the report could be improved in order to meet their information needs and requirements. The report is used by a number of different sectors of society, especially individuals from government departments. There is however a need to reassess a number of the aspects of the report. These include the use of technical language in the summary report, the gap between the full and summary reports, the needs of the different users, the use of different products and which products are suitable for the different users, the need for a more interactive website, the need for the information in the report to be up-to-date and the assessment of the themes and indicators.

Full textThe second study investigated the relative influence of temperature and sediment deposition on slimy sculpin populations across 20 sites on 19 streams in forested and agricultural catchments in northwestern New Brunswick. YOY sculpin were present at all forested sites, but only at 2 of 11 agricultural sites. There were no relationships between body size or density and sediment deposition in either the agricultural or forested regions, but sculpin density decreased and median YOY size increased with increasing temperatures. The variability in density of YOY sculpin at agricultural sites suggested that additional factors beyond temperature might be contributing to responses.
A secondary overall objective was to evaluate the slimy sculpin as a sentinel and indicator of site-specific conditions. Stable isotopes of muscle tissues showed little variability in isotopic signatures, and significant differences between adjacent sites. Passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags implanted in 112 adult sculpin showed that 75% of sculpin captured over 10 months moved less than 30m. Both isotopes and PIT tags suggested high spatial and temporal residency of slimy sculpin.
This PhD project showed biological impacts on sculpin populations residing in streams influenced by non-point source agricultural stressors, and provided support for the ability of the slimy sculpin to reflect local environmental conditions.

Full textSouth Africa is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world and even with conservation initiatives in place continues to face biodiversity loss. There is a need to prioritise areas for conservation as resources for conservation purposes are limited in South Africa. From prioritisation methods reviewed it was found that prioritisation indices normally use one or a combination of variables that measure stock; and/or variables that measure threat.

Full textPseudomonas fluorescens EPS62e was selected as a reliable biological control agent of fire blight for its high efficacy controlling Erwinia amylovora infections. In the present work, monitoring methods which allowed EPS62e specific detection and quantification were developed. RAPD and U-PCR fingerprints were used to obtain differential amplified fragments from EPS62e that were sequence characterized as SCAR markers. A real-time PCR was developed on the basis of the strain-specific SCAR markers, and was used simultaneously with microbiological methods to study the environmental fate of EPS62e in apple and pear orchards. The combined use of both microbiological and molecular methods permitted the identification of three physiological states for EPS62e, which consisted of active colonization, survival and entry into a viable but nonculturable state, and cell death. The present work shows that EPS62e is well adapted for blossom colonisation in the field, and encourages its utilisation in a fire blight.
