Para pronosticar rápidamente la inundación de un tsunami durante un evento tsunamigénico, construimos una base de datos de inundación de tsunamis pre calculada para Chimbote, que es una de las ciudades más pobladas del norte-centro de Perú y considerada como un área propensa a tsunamis. La base de datos consta de formas de onda de tsunami y áreas de inundación modeladas de tsunamis basadas en un total de 165 escenarios de modelo de falla que comienzan de 8.0 a 9.0 con un incremento de 0.1 en la escala de magnitud de momento (Mw). Siguiendo la metodología de Gusman et al. (2014) evaluamos la confiabilidad del algoritmo NearTIF usando dos hipotéticos escenarios de terremoto de empuje: Mw 9.0 (evento más desfavorable), Mw 8.5 (alta probabilidad de ocurrencia) y un modelo de falla finita del terremoto de tsunami de 1996 (Mw 7.6) en alta mar Chimbote. La propagación lineal del ts...

La lengua de señas es un medio de comunicación para vincular a una persona sordomuda con su entorno. Según el censo del año 2017 realizado por el INEI, se dio a conocer que existen 232 176 personas con discapacidad auditiva y para el año 2020 habían solo 23 intérpretes de la lengua de señas reconocidos por la Asociación de intérpretes y guías intérpretes de lengua de señas del Perú (Asisep). Esto sitúa al Perú como uno de los países menos inclusivos de Latinoamérica. El objetivo de esta investigación es diseñar un sistema de traducción del español a la lengua de señas peruanas y al idioma nativo quechua, denominado AmaHarka. La aplicación móvil consta de un teclado con representaciones en 2D de la lengua de señas, así como la respectiva pronunciación del idioma nativo quechua y una guía de la lengua de señas peruana (LSP) para una correcta expresión corpora...

Se realizó el estudio de la dinámica del maremoto de Pisco (costa central del Perú) ocurrido el 15 de agosto del 2007 en sus 3 fases: generación, propagación e inundación, haciendo uso del modelado numérico. Para la generación, se usó un modelo de fuente sísmica heterogéneo propuesto por Jiménez et al., (2012) que fue validado en esta investigación con el registro de la Boya DART N° 32401, obteniendo un coeficiente de correlación de 0,83 en la ventana de tiempo comprendida entre los 40 min hasta los 80 min, luego de ocurrido el sismo. Para la propagación e inundación, se utilizó como herramienta computacional el modelo numérico TUNAMI-N2 en su forma lineal y no lineal, donde se resuelven las ecuaciones de continuidad y movimiento en forma discretizada. La fase de inundación presentó un carácter no-lineal caracterizado por la máxima altura de inundación del maremot...

Agriculture and water resource are highly threatened due to climate change, increasing the probability of backsliding on almost every aspect of sustainable development worldwide. For instance, water resource distribution throughout the Peruvian territory is not homogeneous. Hydrometeorological phenomena also threaten it, so it is crucial for the agriculture sector and water management to increase resilience against climate change. The study aims to understand the Peruvian conduct under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) regime. Its influence in the Peruvian adaptation regulation and public institutions over the years and the interaction with the latest commitment to the UNFCCC related to climate change agriculture - water resources. The methodology used for the study was qualitative, delivered throughout a documentary analysis, and narrative design among s...

The biosorption of heavy metals is the property of some types of biomass, a process that captures or accumulates metal ions, allowing their removal or immobilization. The present study was carried out in the Mantaro river, following the recommendations of the ANA (National Water Authority), the experimental process was carried out in the laboratories of the Universidad Continental and the Volcan Mining Company, for this purpose the drying of the coffee leaves of the species (Caturra-arabic coffea) and its subsequent grinding, then it was added in 4 different proportions for samples of 250 ml of water. The first results showed that the water contains lead (0.1 mg / l), copper (4.12 mg / l), iron (0.01 mg / l) and zinc (0.42 mg / l) with a pH (7.53) and electrical conductivity (671μS).which are not recommended according to the Environmental Quality Standards, after adding the coffee leaf ...

The objective of this study was the design of a hydraulic bicycle and the assembly of a floating structure, steering and propulsion to be able to navigate. To this end, a variety of studies have been conducted. A study on the selection of the most suitable materials for the marine environment was also conducted, where a detailed analysis of each component of the power transmission was carried out, where the Shigley-McGrawhill mechanical engineering design book of machine elements was also used. The study of the structural part was carried out to ensure the integrity of the user, also a study of the transmission of pedaling power to the propeller and the pontoons to be able to withstand a maximum load of 120 kg and stability to ensure buoyancy.

A business application is related to everything that helps improve the business flow of a company, optimizing its processes and strategies. In this paper we discuss the project that was put into practice with a business application developed to improve the services provided by the company “Créditos, Negociaciones e Inversiones Cesar SAC”. The software was developed following the incremental methodology based on its analysis, planning, development, and testing phases. As a result, it was obtained an increase of 13.14% of the total income generated equivalent to 12,360 Peruvian soles, taking as criteria the annual amounts of the year 2020 and 2021, using the software in this last period as a complementary tool for the development of business processes of the company.

Lemon exports are of great influence in Peru, since there is a great demand from countries such as the USA, Belgium and Holland. For this reason, the agricultural sector is one of the essential factors for the economic development of the country, since it generates S/29,553 million annually throughout the national territory. On the other hand, Peru offers two types of lemons, for example: the Tahitian lemon and the subtle lemon; however, due to its characteristics, the Tahitian lemon is the one that is sent as an export product worldwide. Currently, the selection process of this fruit is done manually, since there are not enough industrial optimizations in its process. Therefore, the present study aims to carry out the simulation of an automated grading system for Tahitian lemon based on computer vision. The selection parameters for the image processing were established as the levels of ...

This work aims to design a mechanical transfer system that allows us to integrate the need for power and speed ratio existing in the industry to obtain a safe mechanism ensuring the transmission system, which is optimal for maintenance. The methodology con sists of two - stage gearbox design features a gear mechanism with a gear ratio of 10 to 1 to decrease the output speed and increase the motor torque. The gearbox design parameters were calculated using the Excel program; for the simulations the So lidWorks program was used. To check the gear analysis, the calculation of the safety factor of the pinion, the gears and the material validation are evidenced.

The study of sustainable construction materials is getting attention, since the materials must be ecological, recyclable and renewable to generate a positive impact on the environment as a substitute for the construction materials currently used in rural areas of Huancayo. The objective of this research is to determine a sustainable material with resistant mechanical properties, such as reinforced blocks with Agave americana L fiber. The block components were sand, clay and silt, in order to evaluate its behavior, 5 dosages of fiber were proposed: 0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1%, these were expressed with respect to the total weight of the sample, on the other hand, the fiber used was cut to obtain a length of 25mm. Strengths were evaluated using the simple compression method, the Brazilian diametral compression tensile method and the modulus of rupture method. The result for the most opti...
