(Wiley - Blackwell, 2012-04-18)We derive a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approximation for anisotropic dispersion that only depends upon the first derivative of the kernel function and study its numerical properties. In addition, we compare ...
-
(Springer, 2017)The determination of reservoir temperatures represents a major task when exploring geothermal systems. Since the uncertainties of classical solute geothermometry are still preventing reliable reservoir temperature estimations, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015)With the rapid growth of nanotechnology and the applications of nanoparticles, environmental exposure to these particles is increasing. However, their impact in human and environmental health is not well studied. Anurans, ...
-
(Springer-Verlag, 1994)It is well known that the risk of predation affects prey decision making. However, few studies have been concerned with the cues used by prey to assess this risk. Prey animals may use indirect environmental cues to assess ...
-
(Karger, 2014)Aim: To assess the impact that pregestational insulin resistance (PIR) has as a risk factor for preeclampsia (PE). Methods: Nested case-control study that included patients with PIR and a control group that was randomly ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-12)During the last decade, the IUCN has developed criteria analogous to the Red List of Threatened Species to perform similar risk assessment on ecosystems, creating the Red List of Ecosystems methodology. One of the most ...
-
(2008)Background: Climacteric symptoms have a direct relationship with biological and sociocultural factors and significantly impair the quality of life of women. Aim: To assess quality of life and factors affecting it in women ...
-
(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2016)© 2015 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of The Institution of Chemical Engineers. The aim of this investigation was to determine the effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) on dietary fiber, total phenolic (TPC), ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015)The aim of this investigation was to determine the effect of high hydrostatic pressure(HHP) on dietary fiber, total phenolic (TPC), vitamin B and E contents, antioxidant capacity(AC) and microbiological characteristics of ...
-
(2012)The aim of this study was to assess red blood cell glutathione from insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant individuals before and after an oral glucose dose. Fifteen healthy, young (24 ± 5 years), nonobese (23 ± 2 kg·m ...
-
(Wiley, 2017)This work presents a detailed investigation of a parameter estimation approach on the basis of the reduced-order unscented Kalman filter (ROUKF) in the context of 1-dimensional blood flow models. In particular, the main ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-09)The ability of some dietary fiber to increase the viscosity of digestive content may be associated with important positive implications in human health. An in vitro micro-digestion device was implemented to simulate and ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020)Two of the most damaging plant parasitic nematodes affecting vineyards in Chile are Xiphinema index and Meloidogyne ethiopica, whose control is primarily performed with chemical nematicides. The aim of this study was to ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017)A validation of four satellite daily precipitation estimates at a spatial resolution of 0.25° is performed over the subtropical Andes, an area of highly complex topography: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018)This retrospective cross-sectional study has two-fold aims: the first is to assess new cut-offs at the legal age thresholds (LATs) of 14 and 16 years old and the second is to validate the cut-off of third molar index I-3M ...
-
(MDPI, 2020)The morphological variations of four populations of geographically isolated Triatoma infestans located in the area of inter-Andean valleys and Chaco of Chuquisaca, Bolivia, were evaluated. Fifty-three females and sixty-one ...
-
(Comitato Glaciologico Italiano, 2008)In this study the intensity and distribution of degradation processes in the Chacabuco Province of Chile was assessed focusing on water related degradation processes. The assessment is based on a morphometry based ...
-
(Soil Conservation Society of America, 2019)Land use and land cover changes (LULCC) within a highly anthropized Mediterranean landscape dominated by industrial tree plantation leads to degradation of soil physical properties. This process has been more intense in ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017)Quality data regarding direct and diffuse solar irradiation is crucial for the proper design and simulation of solar systems. This information, however, is not available for the entire Brazilian territory. However, hourly ...
