- ItemA numerical model for linking soil organic matter decay and wildfire severity(2021) Aedo Quililongo, Sebastián Alejandro; Bonilla Meléndez, Carlos Alberto; CEDEUS (Chile)Wildfires are a critical phenomenon in terrestrial ecosystems, and the intensity and frequency of these events have increased in recent years. High temperatures in the topsoil during wildfires can induce changes in soil physical, chemical, and biological properties due to the loss of soil organic matter (SOM). Therefore, the main objective of this study was to develop a numerical model to predict SOM decay during wildfire events. The model identifies the main parameters controlling SOM decay and predicts its decline by coupling the energy balance for soil heating and species conservation for water and SOM using high temperature-induced vaporization and combustion kinetics. Fluid flow was not included; however, the radiative energy conducted through soil pores was incorporated as a volumetric pore radius function. When the radiative term in the thermal conductivity was not considered, the model predicted the soil thermal evolution with a determination coefficient r(2) > 0.91 and with an r(2) > 0.98 when the volumetric pore radius was adjusted. The main parameters controlling SOM decay were soil texture, oxygen availability, and initial soil water and SOM contents. SOM decay was also dependent on the wildfire temperature and exposure time. In terms of soil texture, SOM decay increases as sand increases or clay reduces. The main results showed that the soil water content controlled the amount of heat consumed during vaporization, the normalized SOM decay does not depend on the initial SOM content, and the restricted oxidation limited SOM decay. Finally, this study reduces the number of parameters when studying SOM decay and second-order fire effects for post-fire assessment and restoration. Also, because it provides a better understanding of how wildfires affect SOM, implemented as an additional routine, the model can enhance other existing computer models for describing ecological processes.

- ItemA stochastic meta-frontier approach for analyzing productivity in the English and Welsh water and sewerage companies(2023) Molinos Senante, María; Maziotis, Alexandros; CEDEUS (Chile)Within the water industry, some water companies provide both water and sanitation services whereas other just water services. Assuming a common technology of different types of water companies may lead to biased estimates of performance. To deal with the problem of incomparability of heterogeneous water companies, the metafrontier approach was employed. A stochastic metafrontier approach was employed to estimate and compare the productivity change of the English and Welsh Water and Sewerage companies (WaSCs) and Water only companies (WoCs) during the years 1991–2016. To identify the drivers of productivity growth, the metafrontier Malmquist productivity was decomposed into four components namely: Group-frontier efficiency change, group-frontier technological change, efficiency catch-up and technological catch-up. The results indicate that over the entire period industry productivity slightly increased by 1.5% per year on average with WoCs performing slightly better than WaSCs. Group-frontier efficiency change, group-frontier technological change and technological catch-up contributed positively to metafrontier productivity growth, whereas the temporal changes of efficiency catch-up have been the source of deterioration.

- ItemAguas grises: Aportes de cedeus sobre tecnologías de tratamiento, percepción social y desarrollo de normativas en chile – Parte 1(Centro de Desarrollo Urbano Sustentable, 2024) Gallardo, Carlos; Vargas, Ignacio; Gironás, Jorge; Molinos, María; Bertoli, Rodolfo; CEDEUS (Chile)Actualmente en Chile el ciclo urbano del agua se basa principalmente en sistemas convencionales centralizados de suministro y tratamiento de agua. Uno de los principales desafíos para las ciudades chilenas es implementar el uso de fuentes alternativas de agua. Un ejemplo de lo anterior es el reúso de aguas grises recuperadas a través de sistemas de tratamientos descentralizados energéticamente sustentables. Dado que las aguas grises corresponden aproximadamente a un 60% de las aguas usadas en un hogar, su tratamiento y reúso seguro emergen como una oportunidad relevante para el desarrollo sustentable de las ciudades chilenas.
