The aim of this study was to determine some non-genetic factors that affect age at first calving (AFC) and the interval between calving (CI) in dual purpose cows in the municipality of Arauca, Colombia. Records related to AFC (n=110) and CI (n=168) of cows with Bos indicus predominance were analyzed. The effect of fixed factors that were considered for EPP were: Farm (FAR: 1,2,3), season of first calving (FCS: dry, rainy), year of first calving (FCY: 1992...2011), sex of calf (CS: M,F) and for CI: FAR, season of calving interval (SCI), year of calving interval (CIY), CS and parity number (PN: 1...5). Data was analyzed using the SAS GLM procedures and for the averages comparison was used the Duncan test with a significance level of 5%. The estimated average for AFC was 1 243.6 ± 160.3 days and for CI was 608.0 ± 165.4 days. FAR and FCY were significant factors of variation (p<0.05) f...

Los factores no genéticos o ambientales son la principal causa de variación de los parámetros reproductivos en vacas mestizas en regiones tropicales. El objetivo fue determinar algunos factores no genéticos que afectan la edad al primer parto (EPP) y el intervalo entre partos (IEP) en vacas doble propósito en el municipio de Arauca, Colombia. Se analizó la información de 176 y 110 datos de EPP e IEP de vacas con predominio de razas indicus. Se consideró el efecto de los factores fijos para EPP: Finca (FIN: 1, 2, 3), época de primer parto (EPPP: seca, lluviosa), año de primer parto (APP: 1992….2011), sexo de la cría (SCR: M, H). Para IEP: finca (FIN), época de intervalo entre partos (EIP), año de intervalo entre partos (AIEP), sexo de la cría (SCR) y numero de parto (NP: 1…5). Los datos se analizaron utilizando los procedimientos GLM de SAS y para la comparación de me...

Volcanic activity is always accompanied by the transfer of heat from the Earth’s crust to the atmosphere. This heat can be measured from space and its measurement is a very useful tool for detecting volcanic activity on a global scale. MIROVA (Middle Infrared Observation of Volcanic Activity) is an automatic volcano hot spot detection system, based on the analysis of MODIS data (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer). The system is able to detect, locate and quantify thermal anomalies in near real-time, by providing, on a dedicated website (www.mirovaweb.it), infrared images and thermal flux time-series on over 200 volcanoes worldwide. Thanks to its simple interface and intuitive representation of the data, MIROVA is currently used by several volcano observatories for daily monitoring activities and reporting. In this paper, we present the architecture of the system and we prov...
