(www.gruporica.com) Dominican Republic Junior Consultant on Food Safety and Quality Management System Jan/2009-Jul/2009 LDM & Asociados Dominican Republic RESEARCH Short Description My goal during my pursuit of a Ph.D. in Agricultural Economics at Louisiana State University was to accumulate enough quantitative tools to analyze the factors affecting the ag-sector in Latin-America, and more specifically the Dominican Republic. Thus, in this quest I decided to start my research journey from the consumer side by learning how to characterize demand for ag-commodities. Eventually, I would like to execute research on international trade, production economics, ag-labor economics, ag-finance, social mobility in the ag-sector, among others. In my dissertation, “USA demand analysis for fresh bell pepper: A seasonal & dynamic IAIDS approach”, I am using an Inverse AIDS model to estimate the demand for fresh bell pepper produced locally, imported from Mexico, and imported from the rest of world (ROW). My dissertation is described as follow: IAIDS: Differentiating by source: Mexico, USA, ROW o I have calculated the demand for bell pepper produced locally, imported from Mexico and the ROW. More specifically, I estimated how own and cross prices respond to changes in quantity demanded in the US (own-cross price flexibilities) Seasonal IAIDS: Differentiating by source: Mexico, USA, ROW o Due to the influence of seasonality in the supply of bell pepper, I calculated seasonal varying own-cross price flexibilities. IAIDS: Differentiating by source and color o To circumvent the assumption of all bell-peppers are homogenous, green and colored bell pepper were disaggregated, thus calculating own-cross price flexibilities differentiating by color and source. Dynamic specification of the IAIDS model for bell pepper: o Due to delay in response to changes in quantity, a dynamic IAIDS model is more appropriate. Thus, I have incorporated past consumption habit into the static model. PUBLICATION Peguero, F. and Bueso, F. 2007.

Acknowledgements I have shared several bottles of Flor de Caña with a small group of geographers who have all played a role in my academic development. The group – Scott Brady, Craig Revels, Taylor Mack, Ricky Samson, and Bill Davidson – shares a love for Honduras, fieldwork, and interesting geography, discussions of which helped in the development of this study. I look forward to a career of collaboration and to more fun and interesting conversations and trips with these people. Bill Davidson introduced me to geography. He and his wife, Sharon, have been good friends to me since. I am ever grateful. Here at UT, many have helped me as I stepped through the Ph.D.

The Group was established in 1971. The CGIAR Centers are part of a global agri- cultural research system which endeavour to apply international scientific capacity to solution of the problems of the world’s disadvantaged people. CIFOR CIFOR was established under the CGIAR system in response to global concerns about the social, environmental and economic consequences of loss and degradation of forests. It operates through a series of highly decentralised partnerships with key institutions and/or individuals throughout the developing and industrialised worlds. The nature and duration of these partnerships are determined by the specific research problems being addressed.

    Informe de Apoyo-A Estudio Geológico Informe de Apoyo-A : Estudio Geológico INFORME DE APOYO-A ESTUDIO GEOLÓGICO 1. AGUAS SUBTERRÁNEAS El estudio para el desarrollo de aguas subterráneas para la Ciudad de Tegucigalpa fue ejecutado por el SANAA y C. Lotti & Asociados en el año 1987. El SANAA ha estado utilizando el agua subterránea para fuente de agua doméstica que proporciona a 16 colonias (ver a Tabla A.1.1, Figura A.1.1). En total suman el 1% del volumen total de provisión de agua del SANAA. Las compañías privadas también han utilizado agua subterránea para el uso comercial e industrial. Pero, todos los datos de los pozos de producción fueron perdidos y dispersados por el Huracán “Mitch.” Algunos de los pozos de producción fueron destruidos y otros fueron dañados y el rendimiento de la producción ha cambiado. Actualmente ninguna organización puede conseguir el volumen real extraido de agua subterránea ni puede manejar la fuente de agua subterránea. El resultado del estudio del Lotti es obsoleto y no refleja la presente condición hidrogeológica. El agua subterránea no es la mayor fuente para el sistema de suministro central de agua en la Ciudad de Tegucigalpa, pero es usada como fuente local de agua para el uso privado y comunal donde el SANAA no puede proporcionar agua por cañería. Todavía es una fuente importante de agua, pero limitada. Por consiguiente, el plan de manejo del agua subterránea debe establecerse urgentemente y ser utilizado continuamente para las áreas aisladas de Tegucigalpa. La geología del Área de Estudio y sus alrededores está aproximadamente dividido entre la lava del Basáltico del periodo Cuaternario, el Grupo Padre Miguel y la Formación Matagalpa del Periodo Terciario, y El Grupo Valle de Angeles del Periodo Cretáceo.

  • Within-Tree Distribution of Pine Bark Beetles (Coleóptera: Scolytidae) ¡N Honduras
    Within-tree Distribution of Pine Bark Beetles (Coleóptera: Scolytidae) ¡n Honduras Robert C. Wilkinson1 Robert A. Hoack ABSTRACT The within-tree distribution of bark beetles (Coleóptera: Scolytidae) infesting Pinus oocarpa Schiede in Honduras was studied under post-epidemic conditions at elevations between 900-1700 m in 1966. Nine bark beetle species were recovered: Dendroctonus frontalis Zimmermann, Dendroctonus paralle- locollis Chapuis, Dendroctonus valens LeConte, Ips bonanseai (Hopkins), Ips cribricollis (J£ichhQf£)tIpsinterstitiali$ (Eichhoff), Ips lecontei Swaine, Pityophthorus cacuminatus Blandford, and Pityophthorus confusus Blandford. Of these, D. frontalis was the most frequently collected species and usually the first to colonize the host trees, Ips bonanseai was the most common Ips species collected, while /. lecontei was the rarest. Overall, Dendroctonus species tended to attack the trunk región, Ips species dominated in the upper crown and larger branches, and Pityophthorus species were most numerous in the sraaller branches and shoots. The bluestain fungas associated with D. frontalis galleries was identifica as Ceratocystic minor (Hed- gecock) Hunt. 1 Profesor of Entotnology Department of Entomology and Nematology University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611 USA; and Research Entomoíogist, North Central Forest Experimental Station, USDA Forest Service, 220 Nisbet Building 1407 South Harrison Road, East Lansing Michigan 48823, USA. 115 116 CEIBA Volume 28 INTRODUCTION Pinus oocarpa Schiede is one of the most widespread Latín American pines, ranging from México southward through Gua- temala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, and northwestern Nicara- gua (Critchfield and Little, 1966; Schwerdtfeger, 1953). In Honduras, P. oocarpa is the major source of pine harvested for exportation and domestic use, although two other species are widely used: Pinus caribaea Morelet and Pinus pseudostrobus Lindl.
