Summary Concerns about the future availability and continuity of metal supplies have triggered research efforts to define assess criticality. In this study, we apply a comprehensive methodology elements geological zinc, tin, lead family: zinc (Zn); germanium (Ge); cadmium (Cd); indium (In); tin (Sn); (Pb). Zn, Sn, Pb played important roles in various technological sectors for centuries, whereas Ge, Cd, are by‐product metals that increasingly utilized emerging strategic technologies....
La investigación trató sobre los mitos y realidades de las escuelas unidocentes bidocentes. Se llevó a cabo en la Coordinación Educación Zonal. El objetivo fue dar conocer bidocentes, través una indagación directa profesores, para desvirtuar difundidos. Los aportes teóricos especializados ayudaron tener visión este tipo instituciones respecto al espacio físico, metodología, evaluación, agrupamiento estudiantes currículo. usó el paradigma materialista-histórico o dialéctico dentro crítica...
Introducción. Los estudiantes con educación inconclusa enfrentan múltiples desafíos que afectan su aprendizaje del idioma inglés, entre los factores agravan la situación están, las clases solo se llevan a cabo fines de semana, lo limita interacción y el apoyo continuo docentes, esta falta contacto obstaculiza consolidación lucubraciones práctica idioma, esenciales para dominio toda lengua extranjera. Objetivo. Generar una estrategia didáctica basada en aplicación móvil Duolingo como...
Engineered nanomaterials are finding application in a wide range of consumer electronics. In particular, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) candidate materials for use enhancing the performance lithium-ion battery anode and cathodes. However, past studies indicate that some toxicological effects exist CNTs, although full evaluation may yet take time. Appraisals material flows potential products containing CNTs useful early recognition environmental problems, investment planning production waste...
This paper reports the current status of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by transport sector in Ecuador and possible mitigation scenarios to reduce them.In first case, were quantified using IPCC methodology for National GHG Inventories which is based quantification oil products consumption (TIER 1).The emission estimations have revealed that nearly 33,400 kton CO 2 -Eq emitted 2012.The same year, road was identified as most important sub-sector terms with a contribution 90%.Road...
The aim of this paper is to analyze energy pathways for a fossil fuel rich developing country towards an transition considering national and international oil availability using Ecuador as reference. An integrated assessment model has been developed simulate scenarios constraints on at the global level. Results show that if current trends in demand supply persist, scarcity would start around 2040 due depletion reserves restricted access foreign oil. This trigger degrowth economic activity...
The study quantifies the benefits of expanding electric cooking in residential sector replacement liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), including economic savings and avoided emissions resulting from this transition, viewed through perspective a long-range optimal energy system model developed for Ecuadorian under LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternative Planning) framework. In Ecuador, electricity generation is predominantly based on hydropower obtained run-of-the-river schemes. results indicate that...
This research addresses the challenges and opportunities for electric vehicle charging stations in Latin America. The transition to mobility is crucial reduce greenhouse gas emissions, modernize quality of life urban areas, update public policies related transportation, promote economic development. However, this not an easy task region; it faces several obstacles, such as a lack liquidity governments, adequate infrastructure, high implementation costs, need clear regulatory frameworks,...
El objetivo del presente trabajo es exponer la importancia de implementar procesos análisis prospectivo en el sector energético ecuatoriano, tal manera que se genere información científicotécnica sirva como insumo para formulación políticas y toma decisiones entorno a las inversiones requeridas desarrollo sostenible soberano contexto cambio matriz energética productiva. La planificación requiere punto partida elaboración balance actual construcción balances energéticos proyectados, basados...
