The limpieza and desinfección of alimentos is a process crítico for guarantee seguridad food. Alimentos of IV gama as frutas and verduras suelen consumirse without ningún tratamiento térmico of cocinado, lo that obliga the asegurar a correcta inactivación of the possible pathogens in the food. A problema similar of the, by ejemplo, in the depuración of mollusks as the mussel.

These procesos of limpieza and desinfección, without however, are diseñados in the industria the basis of experimentación, without grant of modelos that puedan be optimizados for encontrar the parámetros of operación óptimos. A ejemplo of optimization interesante is the minimizar the dosificación of higienizante that asegure inactivación of the pathogens. This reto radica in the large complejidad of the modelos necessary, that must combinar dynamic of fluids with dynamic of inactivación of pathogens.

In this work aims to modelar mediante dynamic of fluids a tanque of limpieza with the without higienizante that luego simulará, the incluso optimizará, for obtener the mejores parámetros of operación for guarantee seguridad food. The model implementará in Comsol, asegurando a correcta resolución numérica. The optimization hará bien simulación in Comsol the mediante the generación of data that puedan be utilizados for develop a model of order reducido in MATLAB that luego sea optimizado. In this final caso probarán both the uso of optimizadores local in MATLAB as fmincon as globales basados in algoritmos genéticos as Differential Evolution.

The radioisótopos producen of forma natural in rocas and sedimentos, by lo that the aguas in contact with these compartimentos are naturalmente enriquecidas in these compounds. Así, the radioisótopos can be utilizados as trazadores for the study of diversos aspectos of difícil identification but relevant for the oceanografía coastal, as are the descarga of aguas subterráneas, the circulación coastal, the acoplamiento bentónico-pelágico and the reactividad biogeoquímica. Encuadrado in the projects recientemente financiados UNDERGROUND (Plans Complementarios in Sciences Marine of Galicia) and INTEGROUNDS (Plan estatal 2021-2023), desarrollaremos a system of medición of radioisótopos in continuo that utilizará for carry out determinaciones durante the navegación by the costa of the Vigo Ría. The system will allow measure these compounds with high resolución espacial nunca before realizadas in the costa atlántica Spanish. The resultados of these muestreos will allow identificar the zonas afectadas by the descarga of aguas subterráneas and of intensa interacción sedimento-water, allowing ademat obtener information novedosa on the circulación coastal in the zonas someras of the ría. The recogida in paralelo of samples discretas for the analysis of compounds medioambientalmente significativos as are the oxígeno, nutrientes, metales, materia orgánica and gases of effect greenhouse, will allow evaluate the impact of the interacción continente-ocean on the fertilización, acidificación and contaminación in the Vigo Ría. The selected person participará in the construcción of the system of medición of radioisótopos and in the muestreos. Adquirirá así competencia in the manejo and manipulación of the equipos of medición of radioisótopos and their application in the oceanografía coastal. Participará also in a muestreo by the Vigo Ría donde realizará recogida of samples and procesado for their posterior analysis in the laboratorio.

The objective of the the training that propone is evaluate the impact of the oleaje on a recurso natural clave as is the banded carpet shell clam in the Rías Baixas, bajo the contexto of Change Climate.

The cría of mollusks in Galicia has a alto impact socioeconómico both directo as indirecto the through of the activities relacionadas. In this sentido, the interacción between the corrientes of high sea and the oleaje coastal can have a impact significativo in the caso of the almejas, already that the fondo marine donde cosechan these mollusks can verse significativamente perturbado. As consecuencia, the almejas podrían estresarse lo suficiente as for hacer frente the cualquier amenaza ambiental adicional.

For establecer the relación between the fuerza of the oleaje and the condición immune of the almejas, llevará the cabo a evaluation of the response celular to the stress (expresión of genes of response immune and analysis of stress oxidativo) in almejas procedentes of a banco marisquero natural and in conditions experimental of laboratorio. Ademat, realizará a analysis histológico for the evaluation of alteraciones patológicas and/the presencia of pathogens, principalmente for the presencia and número of colonias of rickettsias, that viven of forma natural in colonias intracelulares in the branquias of the almejas, but that can sufrir a crecimiento exacerbado in conditions adversas.

The laboratorio cuenta with all the equipamiento necessary for llevar the cabo the tasks propuestas and also with servicios específicos within of the IIM as the Unit of Muestreo and Imagen of the Environment Marine (for the muestreo of campo); the Service of Citometría of Flujo (for the analysis of the stress oxidativo) and the Service of Historia Vital (for the procedures histológicos).

The rías gallegas albergan a large biodiversidad ligada in large medida the the elevada variability of ambientes costeros and of the conditions oceanográficas existentes in their interior, asociada principalmente to the bachelor’s degree of exposición/protección frente to the oleaje exterior and the the influence of the descargas fluviales. In this propuesta plantea the study of distribución of different species bentónicas siendo many of ellas of elevado valor ecológico and socio-económico as the mollusks bivalves infaunales (almejas, berberechos, navajas, etc.). The main objective is comprar the patrones of distribución espacial of these populations with the variability of the régimen of oleaje and with the tipología of the sedimento presente in these fondos.

The student aplicará varias metodologías for comparar the distribución of the populations of species bentónicas with the hidrodinámica ligada to the oleaje within the rías. For ello utilizará systems of information geográfica (GIS) for integrar the information existente in the bases of data oficiales and in publicaciones scientific centrándose in the localización of the populations of interest and in the tipología of the sedimento of these zonas. Complementariamente, familiarizará with the extracción and analysis of salidas of modelos numéricos of oleaje mediante lenguaje of programación tipo Matlab for obtener variables of altura and period of ola. By final, mediante technicians estadísticas buscará possible correlaciones espaciales between the patrones of distribución of the species and the variability in the hidrodinámica and tipo of sedimento.

The resultado esperable is the obtención of a first atlas biogeográfico bentónico of large novedad and importancia, both for the sector scientific as for the productivo marisquero, that ayude the entender the variability of these populations and mejore the management of these servicios ecosistémicos of alto interest.

Durante the period of training the student may also familiarizarse with the work of the Department of Oceanografía in the that realizan campañas of campo, preparación of fondeos instrumentales, analysis of laboratorio and procesado of data meteo-oceanográficos. Currently, the researcher tutor is the responsable of a subproyecto of the Plans Complementarios of Sciences Marine of Galicia on the implantación of a new tecnología of observation basada in perfiladores verticales (ProCoast) in cuya configuración and puesta in funcionamiento may colaborar the student.

Aproximadamente the mitad of toda the production primaria of the globo has lugar in the ocean, donde the phytoplankton the conjunto of algae microscópicas that flotan libremente in the superficie of the sea, are the main responsables of the fijación fotosintética of carbon. The production of oxígeno and materia orgánica fotosintetizada viene condicionada by the structure and composición of the community fitoplanctónica.

Así, conoce that the phytoplankton of pequeño tamaño domina in zonas oligotróficas of the ocean, in donde the fijación of carbon encuentra limitada by the disponibilidad of nutrientes and the materia orgánica fotosintetizada destina to the mantenimiento of the microbial plankton community. In these aguas, the community microbiana tiende hacia the balance metabólico between production and respiración, debido the the low production primaria and the relativa greater importancia of the respiración bacteriana.  By the contrario, in zonas costeras, the elevada disponibilidad of nutrientes allows altos niveles of production primaria, atribuibles to the phytoplankton of greater tamaño. These zonas suelen presentar a balance metabólico netamente autotrófico and with exceso of materia orgánica, potencialmente transferible the niveles tróficos superiores. Not obstante, this dicotomía falla the escalas more pequeñas, dada the elevada variability ambiental muy especialmente in zonas of afloramiento coastal. The episodios of afloramiento and relajación típicos introducen a large variability in the aporte of nutrientes, determinando that the microbial plankton community fluctúe between the own of mares oligotróficos and the of mares eutróficos, pasando by different situaciones possible between these of the extremas.

In the afloramiento of the Noroeste of the península Ibérica varios studies muestran the existencia of a large variedad of comunidades planctónicas microbianas asociadas the different conditions environmental. Not obstante, casi todos these studies are dirigidos the caracterizar the variability temporal. In this study propone determine the variability espacial, mediante observaciones with of the boyas of deriva; a lanzada cerca of the costa, donde the aporte of nutrientes is elevado, and otra siguiendo water oceánica with pocos nutrientes. In ambos ambientes caracterizará the structure, composición and metabolism of the comunidades planctónicas microbianas. The Dr. Francisco G. Figueiras colaborará in the address of this work with potencialidad of TFG the TFM.

The objective general of this propuesta is profundizar in the knowledge of the system immune of the common octopus estudiando the role of the células implicadas in the response immune (hemocitos) and the proteínas of the hemolinfa in the reconocimiento and response immune frente the lo not own. 

The common octopus, Octopus vulgaris, is parte of a branch evolucionada of mollusks, that presenta características more developed, as a cerebro complejo with a system nervioso centralizado, and a system circulatorio desarrollado formado by venas and arterias. All these características make of the octopus a model animal invertebrate muy used in diversas disciplinas, incluidat neurociencias. Without however, the knowledge of the system inmunitario of the cephalopods in general, and of the octopus in particular, is limited.

The common octopus is ademat, a especie comercialmente important with a alto potential for the diversificación of the aquaculture. For proteger this important recurso pesquero in Galicia, currently sobreexplotado, impulsar the bioeconomía mediante a uso more eficiente of the resources vivos and abastecer the strong demanda of the mercado, is necessary develop a aquaculture eficiente and sustainable that garantice the animal welfare. For ello,  a of the prioridades is the prevención of diseases and the aumento of their capacity of lucha contra pathogens and agresiones externas as estrategia for improve their health and welfare.

The primeros studies of inmunología comparada of invertebrates revelaron a immunity batica and limitada the respuestas of tipo innato. Without however, in the últimos años have producido avances significativos in the study of the competencia immune in invertebrates that subrayan the presencia of molecules efectoras alternativas at of the system immune adaptativo, with a alto bachelor’s degree of diversificación for reconocer lo that not is own, factor clave in the exitosa response immune of invertebrates. Esto, junto with the capacity of protección contra the reinfección (the immunity entrenada), are conceptos that merecen more research for comprender cuán compleja is this response immune and qué molecules are implicadas in the lucha contra diseases.
