Colocasia esculenta or white Malanga is a tuber whose main constituent is sugars, two simple and inexpensive methods of extracting its starch were tried using 3% citric acid (method 1) and distilled water (method 2) respectively, in order to determine the procedure with the highest yield, the starch obtained was washed, dried and characterized, then, sheets of polymeric bases were made combining the starch extracted by both methods with different doses of additives with extensor, plasticizing, stabilizing and humectant qualities, obtaining various prototypes. , which were subjected to different tests to identify their qualities and degradability, the applied variance analyzes determined that the starch extraction performance depends on the method used, obtaining higher values close to 28% for method 1; within the characterization of the starch, it stands out that only the moisture content had variation depending on the method used and the rest of the measured properties were not related, that is, they did not depend on the starch extraction method; polymeric sheets with combinations A3B3C1 (glycerin 6mL + 0.75g carboxymethylcellulose + 2.5mL acetic acid) made with starch extracted by method 1 and A1B3C2 (glycerin 2.5mL + 0.75g carboxymethylcellulose + 4mL acetic acid) made with starch extracted by method 2 showed better physical qualities of homogeneity in its texture, consistency and absence of lumps; Regarding the degradability tests, it was verified that an average of 130 days in the soil and 33 days in the water were sufficient to completely degrade the sheets; from a social point of view, producing taro starch by method 1 would benefit the producing communities, giving added value to it, and environmentally given the characteristics of the polymer bases obtained, it could be partially or totally substituted in the elaboration of certain products that currently they use synthetic polymers.

The objective of this research is the design of a drinking water treatment plant from surface waters. The sampling of the raw water from the catchment is carried out systematically for four consecutive weeks; The samples taken were characterized in a quality control laboratory through physical-chemical and microbiological tests according to Technical Standard INEN 1108: 2014 referring to Drinking Water Requirements. It is identified that the water samples contain phosphate concentrations and turbidity outside the permissible limits according to current regulations, for turbidity 5 NTU and for phosphates 0,1 mg/L. In order to reduce the phosphate concentration, laboratory-level treatability tests are carried out, carrying out dosages of copper sulfate in solution for each liter of raw water. The addition of 5 mg/L of copper sulfate decreases the phosphate concentration by 82.5%, a parameter that is within the established norm. The addition of 5 mg / L of copper sulfate decreases the phosphate concentration by 82,5%, a parameter that is within the established norm. Based on a maximum treatment flow rate of 24L/s of surface water collection, engineering and design calculations are carried out for the drinking water treatment plant that contains a flow meter, two settlers, two thick rising filters and three slow filters. with fine sand. The flow meter is a parshall type with a throat width of W = 0,229; the classic settler with a critical settling speed Vsc = 0,26 mm/s; the thick rising filter with a filtration speed of

Vf = 0,6 m / h and the slow filter with a filtration speed of Vf = 0,3 m/h.

The present study is focused on providing a logical series of necessary steps in order to calculate the reliability, maintainability and availability indicators. For this example, records were taken from a database of 51 prime generators, operating times between failures and their respective repair time were collected within a period of 11 months.

The reliability of an equipment depends on its design and construction, in order to measure the reliability, it is necessary to record the operating times between failures and use them to calculate the average time between failures, this times are used to calculate the meantime, known as MTBF (mean time between failure). The analysis of the failures repairing times and its mean MTTR (mean time to repair) is the basis of the maintainability studios. The maintenance strategies must focus in extending the mean time between failures and reduce the repairing mean times, with the purpose of keeping the equipment intrinsic reliability. It should be mentioned that preventive maintenance cannot increase a device reliability given by design, if a good preventive maintenance planning is carried out, the design reliability can be preserved. With these two indicators it is possible to determine the intrinsic availability of the equipment.

Another important aspect is to be able to predict the reliability, availability and maintainability of the equipment, therefore it is necessary to have a statistical treatment with the study of distribution functions. Reliability, availability and maintainability analysis (RAM analysis) is a fundamental tool to predict equipment performance, it provides adequate information to anticipate failure events, this provides enough reaction time in order to take appropriate strategies. Reliability forecasting is a very useful tool when equipment design and build is required.

Currently, globalization plays an important role in world communication; this has increased the interest of university students, especially because there is a standard in the curriculum to be met to obtain their academic degree in Ecuador. The key to the successful development of the knowledge society in commercial areas is internationalization, which is why efficient learning of a foreign language plays an important role in the formation of the student's personal and cultural qualities. The present work exemplifies the organization of several extracurricular activities applied in four test groups with administration students, supervised by the teachers who teach the English subject at the levels planned for each degree. The associative and coexistence factor is fundamental for the normal development of activities such as English clubs, weeks and summer schools and artistic and cultural activities such as theater and singing.

The present investigation establishes an analysis of the transport by electric locomotives and the transport by battery-powered locomotives in the main level of supply to the secondary levels in the mining company PRODUMIN SA, this analysis serves to define what type of transport is technically and economically viable, as well as knowing what are the factors inside the mine that distort transportation, making it insufficient. For this, the theoretical basis has been taken into account such as: resistance to the gradient, tensile stress, radius of curvature, inclination, among others. The applied methodology is by means of a time control of the different transport and supply cycles, obtaining as a result that the most relevant factor that produces losses in the transport by locomotives is the derailment due to a high gradient, to the lack of power (HP) of the engine and the capacity of the battery-powered locomotive (TM) in providing secondary levels.

In Ecuador there are large areas of native forest and for some years these areas have been exploited indiscriminately, especially in the province of Esmeraldas. This research was based on organoleptically and anatomically describing the wood of five forest species, coming from the Tabiazo parish, Esmeraldas canton, province of the same name; to generate technical information on the macro and microscopic characteristics of different forest species. To dendrologically identify the five forest species under study, the collection of botanical specimens from the herbarium of the Chimborazo Polytechnic was used. To describe the anatomical characteristics of the five species, cuts were made according to the standards COPANT (1972). The same ones that were exposed to a softening process in a humid autoclave at 121 ° c and 1.1 atm, then in the microtome histological cuts were made to obtain 0.3 micron sheets, they were placed in staining based on a combination of Safranina and Astrablue, while the senses were used to describe the organoleptic characteristics. Motic images 2.00 were used to determine which stain allows the anatomical characteristics to be observed in a better way. Finally, it is concluded that in dendrological identification none of the species belongs to the same family. The organoleptic and anatomical characteristics are different and all the species presented solitary and multiple pores of two and three and one of them presented pores of four. The best staining was combined since structures with better quality are observed.

Mobility in one of the most important aspects in the economy of a country, accompanied by a logistic infrastructure as in the case of this study, the roads or highways of our provinces that allow the access of vehicles from different provinces, a large amount is evident of cooperatives for internal mobility that is increasingly increasing, this is how the roads in the city of Riobamba are classified in main and secondary streets; The canton must have a mobility plan and at the same time it is essential to have a road ranking plan, established both in the Ecuadorian roads law and in the ordinances of the Riobamba canton, criteria that will allow the determination of express streets, main arterial roads, collectors and premises under technical, geometric characteristics and functionality of the secondary arterial pathways, the objective is to determine the level of service provided.

On the other hand, the interprovincial movement of our Province, because it is located in the center of the country, has a large number of vehicles that enter daily, together with this, the interprovincial cooperatives that have an operating permit, control and planning is an emergency for this city work destined to the bodies that have their competence as the Gad.

Transport is considered of great importance at the international level has allowed great positive impacts that allows large-scale economic evolution, even more so in developing countries in small cities, the undertaking of transport in recent years is represented in the influx of heavy transport operators, light executives, urban that in one way or another impacts the local economy.

In this study, you determine the number of operators registered in our city, as it is considered a small city but there are many vehicles destined to generate local and interprovincial income, which boost economic activity in the country, the logistics infrastructure that our The city still has some pending in terms of planning added to this the vehicular income of other provinces.

The city of Riobamba is located relatively in the center of Ecuador, it is a city that is known as the city of the first fruits, for the activities of national relevance that occurred at the time, for its contribution to growth and development in different sectors , transport being a very important sector in the middle. Most of the inter-provincial and interprovincial Inter public road transport Cooperatives must pass through the city of Riobamba to reach the different cities of the coastal, mountain and eastern regions, due to their eographical location. This type of transport mobilizes a large number of people and transfers a good part of the merchandise that will be used for the production and commercialization of goods nationwide. A historic and emblematic city for the country, should not have problems in the issue of urban land transport internally and in the roads that connect with the surrounding cities, the quality of service provided by those involved in the transport sector, not only that allow to improve the income of the service providers, also allow to improve the income of other sectors that are related to transport.

The following article focuses on the analysis of the geometric characteristics of the lane width and the infrastructure of bus stops of the urban public transport of the city of Riobamba, for which an on-site survey of the cadastre-type information has been carried out, preparing files where information such as the type was identified, identifying its geometry and the state of the stop infrastructure, as well as registering the existence of the type of horizontal and vertical signaling.

The importance of bus stops lies in the comfort of users when moving around in public transport, where they are exposed to a series of inconveniences that are aggravated by the varying weather situation in our environment. There are 16 public transport lines, which are grouped into 10 groups, relating the route of the route that the transport units carry out. The investigation revealed the real and constant problems that citizens have when using public transport stops to move from a point origin to a destination. The results obtained based on the analysis reflect the existence of horizontal and vertical signaling at the stops, around 30% have the appropriate stop infrastructure, in the geometric analysis verifying the measurements of the lane width dimension 8 groups comply with the regular regulations that allow the adequate circulation of public transport units.

The objective of the research was to apply an alternative evaluation to the oral production of the students of level 2 of the Medicine Career of the Public Health Faculty of the Superior Polytechnic School of Chimborazo.

The evaluation was applied to a sample composed of students from the second level class "D" (Control Group) and "E" (Experimental Group). The control group used a traditional evaluation, while the experimental group adapted the criteria of fluency and pronunciation to the rubric. The data obtained from the groups were processed, analyzed and interpreted through statistical bar charts, which were compared and allowed to conclude that the evaluation of the experimental group affects the practice of the oral production of the English language, since considering the pronunciation and fluency as feedback in the techniques used, they improved the learning of the students regarding the speaking skill.

Around 1.3 million people die on the different roads of the world, one of the main reasons for death is traffic accidents. With the additive temporal mathematical model, the estimation of future data was found, the variable is the number of traffic accidents in Ecuador due to driving vehicles exceeding the maximum speed limits, according to the model, this calculation was performed in the short term , in a time interval of 2 years, 2020 and 2021. The historical statistical database of the National Traffic Agency of Ecuador (ANT) was accessed from 2010 to 2019, once these data were classified according to the claims caused by speeding by year and month, we proceeded to calculate one of the components of the mathematical model called seasonality 〖(S〗 _t) a value for each month of the year, then the second component of the model was established which is the trend (T) was used the linear regression procedure and it was obtained that the value of T = 232.8 + 0.98 * t where the value of (t) is the time interval that we want to find the estimate, the last component that intervenes in the model is the noise value (R) the way to find it was to clear the noise 〖R = V_r-T-S_t from the additive temporal model like the other components of real value (V_r) trend (T) and seasonality 〖(S〗 _t) are already known, this series of irregular fluctuations was found, finally the model for the estimation was: Estimated value = Base value + Trend + Seasonality. It can be predicted that for the year 2021 in the month of December it will decrease to 413 traffic accidents and for the year 2020 401 traffic accidents are expected, a value affected by the global health crisis since March 2020.

Estimating a monetary value for natural resources allows us to understand the importance of their conservation and helps to build a vision that allows proper management. A positive assessment of the inhabitants of the rural area for environmental services facilitates decision-making regarding the resource. The objective of this study was to assess the soil resource of three rural parishes economically and environmentally in the Riobamba canton. To obtain the information, 17 communities from the parishes Cubijies, Licto and Pungalá were selected using the criteria of current use of land, area and population, 1066 surveys calculated using the Canavos formula were applied; 10 ecosystem services were selected from the list of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment using "stakeholders", which were evaluated using the Likert scale where 0 is "Not Important" and 10 "Very Important", the total economic assessment VET was performed using 3 three methods, i ) Willingness to pay, your payment vehicle, and in case of not assigning a value, the definition of the reasons; ii) direct use value based on the calculation of production income and iii) hedonic price method used to calculate the economic value of the goods. As a result, provision and support services show a greater perception of importance, followed by regulatory and cultural services; all ecosystem services were scored with values equivalent to "Important" and "Very Important". In the analysis of direct use value, it is observed that the parish with the greatest diversification of agricultural production is Licto. In the DAP method, the refusal to pay is 56%, a result that is linked to low economic income and distrust in the administration of resources. Finally, the residents would use the Parish GAD as a payment vehicle.

In the present investigation, the production process of the Alanba dairy company was evaluated by schematizing and describing the production line of fresh cheese and mozzarella; The evaluation of the infrastructure was with the use of a checklist, prepared under the regulations (RESOLUTION ARCSA 067); areas, equipment and materials existing in the company were identified and defined. For the redistribution of the production area, the logistic performance indicator was used, which allows obtaining the percentage of use of company space (UEA), in determining the sequence and locations of workstations, the Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) method, then with the use of the Guerchet method the total area required for the equipment and materials needed in the production area was determined. The results of the evaluation established that the infrastructure presents a 52% compliance, according to the requirements established by the current national regulations, however, the National Agency for Regulation, Control and Sanitary Surveillance requires a minimum compliance of 80%, for this reason Correction measures were recommended in order to comply with the requirements of the regulations. By applying the UEA methodology and establishing the redesign, an increase was obtained from 37% to 96% in the indicator of space utilization, the reference budget of the proposed redesign was calculated, being this of $ 7,496.73 US dollars. It is feasible to carry out the proposed redesign, since the benefit-cost ratio is greater than unity (B / C = 1.49).

In the atmospheric boundary layer, the air-soil interaction produces dynamic effects that affect the atmosphere, particularly the surface layer, where the most important activities of man and his environment take place; the present investigation calculates the micro meteorological parameters and analyzes their variation over time; under typical conditions of the Riobamba city, considering the effects due to its height and geographical position (2750 m and 1 ° 58`58 `` S of latitude and 78 ° 39`33 '' W of longitude), from which it follows a high regularity in behavior throughout the year, with strong convective flows, due to the high latent heat flow, which results in significant variations in the length of Obukhov, during daylight hours, and conversely, at night, it decreases becoming a stable system, which are determined using the Van Ulden and Hostlang model as a basis.

Obtaining the mechanical properties from reverse engineering or technological disaggregation of automotive parts and pieces allows us to know first-hand the chemical composition, structure, hardness, geometry, among others, that facilitate the design and manufacturing process in this particular case of a prototype connecting rod, piston and stub head, which are part of a 100cc two-stroke engine. For this purpose, both national and international standards have been considered to standardize the processes and that the results are comparable with related research, these standards being: ASTM E10-01 (Standard Test Method for Brinell Hardness of Metallic Materials), ASTM E18-03 ( Standard Test Methods for Rockwell Hardness and Rockwell Superficial Hardness of Metallic Materials), ASTM E3 - 01 (Standard Practice for Preparation of Metallographic Specimens), ASTM E407 - 07 (2015) e1 (Standard Practice for Microetching Metals and Alloys), ASTM E1251 - 17a (Standard Test Methods for Analysis of Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys by Spark Atomic Emission Spectrometry), ASTM E350 - 18 (Standard Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Carbon Steel, Low-Alloy Steel, Silicon Electrical Steel, Ingot Iron, and Wrought Iron) . For the particular case of the motor head, the following results are obtained: composition: 19.53% Silicon, 1, 798% Copper and 76.12% Aluminum (hypoeutectic composition), and quickly tempered in water, which corresponds to an Aluminum 392 series, with a hardness of 108 HB. The following results were obtained for the engine connecting rod: Microstructure composed mainly of martenite and austenite, the average connecting rod hardness is 61HRC, with the following chemical composition: 0.252% carbon, 1.103% Manganese, 1.179% Chromium, 0.296% Silicon, responding to Cr-MN steel, with a tempering and tempering heat treatment. The following results are obtained for the piston: piston hardness 30.3 HB, chemical composition: 29.49% Silicon, 5.657% Copper, 1.898% iron, responding to a hypoeutectic aluminum Si-Cu, and responding to a 300 series, with heat treatment of tempering and artificial aging.

The analysis of vehicular traffic has become important in recent years due to the considerable increase of vehicles on the roads, which often is translated in traffic congestion. So, it is necessary to know the vehicle capacity of the roads, in order to take decisions to improve road traffic such as opening alternate roads, changing the timing of traffic lights, improving road signs, and so on. There are studies that perform the counting and identification of vehicles manually by observation, however, this technique can be inefficient since it must have people who perform this count on one or more roads during a certain period of time, leaving out information of several hours of the day. On the other hand, there are techniques that can be complex to configure or that interfere in the normal flow of traffic such as ramps with sensors and inductive loops. Therefore, there is a need to use a technique that allows the counting and identification of vehicles in a more efficient way without interfering in the flow of traffic. This study proposes the use of artificial neural network models in the automation of vehicle counting and classification. An artificial neural network model was generated that, through video, allows the detection and classification of public transport vehicles that travel on the roads with an accuracy of 94.29%. In addition, the model was tested in real time using an app and a smartphone camera, demonstrating that the model can be used if video is available without the need for calibration or system configuration. Therefore, based on the high level of certainty obtained and the tests carried out in real time, the evidence demonstrate that it is feasible to create systems that do not require calibration or complex configurations based on the use of artificial neural networks for the automation of counting and classifying vehicles

The objective of the research was to analyze the results obtained from the application of the anaerobic resistance test of 1000 meters in male students of the different faculties of the Superior Polytechnic School of Chimborazo with an average age of 20 years, who take the subject of: Physical Education in the academic period September 2019 - February 2020. For this, a descriptive and temporal field research was considered with an intentional sample of 581 male students from different regions of Ecuador. In addition to age and region, the weight, height and time reached to cover the test distance were recorded for each student. The data collected in the first instance were statistically analyzed to determine quartiles or ranges, which were labeled according to a Likert scale to later be quantified. The frequencies of each quartile were established and descriptive analysis was carried out using tables and graphics processor in Microsoft Excel. From the processed data it was possible to conclude that most of the students reached a good time of between 3.18 and 5.13 min, in covering the 1000 meters of anaerobic resistance with the antecedent that most of the students are from the sierra region and that the 67 % are of normal weight

In the present study, the theory of Energy and Linear Moment is applied in the simple harmonic motion M.A.S. demonstrating that the increase in mass affects the conditions of a simple harmonic oscillator, depending on the position in which this disturbance occurs causes the mechanical energy to be reduced if this increase occurs in the equilibrium position, or be maintained in the event that the disturbance due to the increase in mass occurs at one end of the oscillation. With this application the two most important laws of the Physics study have been demonstrated, such as: The law of conservation of mechanical energy combined with the law of conservation of linear motion in inelastic shocks, in which the speed after impact It turns out to be the same since the bodies move with a joint speed.
