Del bosque a la mesa: Conocimientos tradicionales sobre los hongos alimenticios de la comunidad P’urhepecha de Cherán K’eri by Tania González Rivadeneira, Arturo Argueta Villamar

“…The life history of fungi is observed in this article from the different moments in which comuneros and fungi interact, thus stablish relationships to the foods throughout cycles shared of life.Traditional ecological knowledge allows us to describe the "path of mushrooms", since they arise like "Terekua sapichu" (Flower of the earth, small or baby) in the forest, until they are consumed and commercialized by the comuneros, as well as also the practices of collection and transformation of fungi.It is concluded that fungi, as food, are related to the comuneros beyond the mere act of preparation and consumption. The ecological knowledge about them has shaped the biocultural landscape of the community and allows the incorporation of "wild" species to a diet very characteristic of the P'urhepecha people.It is concluded that the P'urhepecha relation with the mushrooms, as food, are beyond of the act of preparation and consumption. …”

Deterministic local multi-point fault detection method for industrial control topology by Ruozhou LIANG, Xibin ZHAO, Hai WAN

“…In view of the fact that the existing network fault detection algorithms cannot meet the four requirements of determination of detection time, low detection overhead, multi-point fault detection ability and topology adaptability of industrial control network at the same time, a multi-point fault detection method of time sensitive network based on Boolean network mapping was proposed.The method was divided into offline preparation phase and online detection phase.In the offline preparation phase, the detection flow generation algorithm generated a set of detection flows based on the network topology.The detection flow set covered the edges of the network topology.In the online detection phase, the detection packet was sent periodically from the source node to the controller according to the predefined path.Then, the controller inferred the failed link according to the arrival state of each detection packet.The experimental results show that, compared with the existing methods, the proposed method can accurately identify multiple failed links in a certain time, and generate fewer detection path sets to meet the above four requirements.…”
