(Springer, 2017)Two micro-catchments, tributaries of the Elqui River in the coastal range of the semiarid central-northern Chile were analyzed to establish the hazard potentials associated with extreme rainfall and their effects on the ...
-
(WILEY-BLACKWEL, 2016)Intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with short and long-term metabolic and cardiovascular alterations. Mice and rats have been extensively used to study the effects of IUGR, but there are notable differences ...
-
(MDPI, 2018-04)Cyanide recovery in the gold-mining industry is a crucial step in terms of the cost of operation. Currently, a process such as AVR (acidification, volatilization and recycling), based on packed towers for stripping and ...
-
(BMC, 2020)Bombus terrestris is a European bumblebee extensively commercialized worldwide for crop pollination. In Chile, this species was introduced in 1997 and after confinement escape, it has spread and established in several ...
-
(1992)The knowledge about standardized CPR of 41 physicians and 30 7th grade medical students was evaluated using a written multiple choice test. Results showed a severe lack of information about CPR in both groups; the test was ...
-
(Universidad de Chile, 2012)Intensive precipitations in desert areas are a very scarce phenomenon. Nevertheless, from time to time these events take place, as in 1997 in Southern Atacama Desert in Chile. The study area within the Copiapó catchment ...
