La decisión de un cultivar considera un conjunto de características como el ciclo, la velocidad de secado de grano, el comportamiento sanitario, la resistencia al quebrado y vuelco de caña, rendimientos y relación precio/rentabilidad. Cada uno de estos aspectos pueder tener una importancia relativa distinta según las características de producción de la empresa agropecuaria. El objetivo de este trabajo es la identificación de híbridos comerciales de maíz de genética moderna, estables y con alto potencial de rendimiento en el área de influencia de la localidad de San Antonio de Areco, en el norte de la provincia de Buenos Aires que ayude a asesores y productores en la elección de los materiales.

Study of the climate in the Mediterranean basin during different historical periods has taken on a particular importance, particularly regarding its role (together with other factors) in the evolution of human settlement patterns. Although the Roman age is traditionally considered a period with a favourable climate, recent studies have revealed considerable complexity in terms of regional climate variations. In this paper, we compare the hydrological change from speleothem proxy records with flood reconstructions from archaeological sites for Northern Tuscany (central Italy). We identify a period of oscillating climatic conditions culminating in a multidecadal dry event during the 1st century bc, followed by a century of increased precipitation at the beginning of the Roman Empire and subsequently a return to drier conditions in the 2nd century ad. The period of rainfall increase documented by the speleothems agrees with both the archaeological flood record as well as historical flood data available for the Tiber River, ca. 300 km to the south. These data also suggest a return to wetter conditions following the 3nd and 4rd centuries ad.

We develop a data-driven approach to the computation of a-posteriori feasibility certificates to the solution sets of variational inequalities affected by uncertainty. Specifically, we focus on instances of variational inequalities with a deterministic mapping and an uncertain feasibility set, and represent uncertainty by means of scenarios. Building upon recent advances in the scenario approach literature, we quantify the robustness properties of the entire set of solutions of a variational inequality, with feasibility set constructed using the scenario approach, against a new unseen realization of the uncertainty. Our results extend existing results that typically impose an assumption that the solution set is a singleton and require certain non-degeneracy properties, and thereby offer probabilistic feasibility guarantees to any feasible solution. We show that assessing the violation probability of an entire set of solutions, rather than of a singleton, requires enumeration of the support constraints that "shape" this set. Additionally, we propose a general procedure to enumerate the support constraints that does not require a closed form description of the solution set, which is unlikely to be available. We show that robust game theory problems can be modelling via uncertain variational inequalities, and illustrate our theoretical results through extensive numerical simulations on a case study involving an electric vehicle charging coordination problem.

The first European ride-share mission will be carried out by the Vega launch system in September 2019. The VEGA PoC (Proof of Concept) flight using the SSMS (Small Satellite Mission Service) hardware was conceived in the context of ESA LLL Initiative. This paper reports on the highlights of the preparation of the first European rideshare mission with Vega launcher and on the development of the related launch system. Based on Vega flights accumulated experience, the development of multi-Payload mission concept started from analysis of the activities currently foreseen to fly a single payload mission adapted to the needs of multi payload rideshare missions. After evaluation of impacts in terms of technical feasibility, missioning schedule and related programmatic and cost elements for the missioning of the Light Sats launch service, the implementation phase was initiated and description of its major tasks is the focus of this paper. The described hardware development and processes to reach SSMS PoC flight using the Vega launch system, are the first step towards the ultimate goal of a finally optimized process for Light Sats ride-share missions applicable to all European launchers.
