      Shape memory alloys, like B2–CuZr, are a class of materials that have the ability to recover their original shape when subjected to specific thermomechanical conditions. In this work, we carry out molecular dynamics ...
    • Ramírez, Patricia A.; González, Andrea; Botto Mahan, Carezza (Springer, 2013)
      Masking, a type of camouflage, has been argued to function as an antipredator mechanism helping to avoid detection or recognition by a prey or predator. However, research focused on the effects of masking on life history ...

      Background: Iron is essential for the maintenance of basic cellular processes. In the regulation of its cellular levels, ferritin acts as the main intracellular iron storage protein. In this work we present a mathematical ...
    • Soto Andrade, Jorge (ICME, México, 2008)
      The role of metaphors and the switch in cognitive modes in relation to visualization in learning and teaching mathematics is discussed, based on examples and case studies with students and teachers. We present some preliminary ...
    • Ponce, Rodrigo; Poblete Oviedo, Verónica (Wiley, 2017)
      We characterize the L-p-maximal regularity of an abstract fractional differential equation with delay on the Lebesgue spaces. The method is based on the theory of operator-valued Fourier multipliers and weighted Sobolev ...
    • Fernández, Claudio; Lizama, Carlos; Poblete Oviedo, Verónica (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
      We study abstract equations of the form λu t u t c2Au t c2μAu t f t , 0 < λ < μ which is motivated by the study of vibrations of flexible structures possessing internal material damping. We introduce the ...
    • Davis, Sergio; Navarrete, Yasmín; Gutiérrez Gallardo, Gonzalo (Springer-Verlag, 2014)
      We study how the opinions of a group of individuals determine their spatial distribution and connectivity, through an agent-based model. The interaction between agents is described by a Hamiltonian in which agents are ...
    • Díaz Cavieres, Alejandro; Niemeyer Marich, August Hermann (Universidad de Chile. Escuela de Salud Pública, 2020)
      Introducción: Las desigualdades socioeconómicas y territoriales se relacionan con la salud de la población santiaguina; sin embargo, los mecanismos causales que generan las inequidades en salud no están del todo claros. ...
