    • Autopoiesis: The organization of living systems, its characterization and a model 
      Varela,; Maturana, Daniel; Uribe, (1974)
      We formulate the organization of living organisms through the characterization of the class of autopoietic systems to which living things belong. This general characterization is seen at work in a computer simulated model ...
    • Energetics and geometry of huddling in small mammals 
      Canals, Mauricio; Rosenmann, Mario; Bozinovic, Francisco (1989)
      Huddling in small mammals appears as an efficient response to low ambient temperatures with important consequences in thermoregulatory energy savings. These energy savings have been ascribed to a decrease in the exposed ...
    • Flexible estimates of heterogeneity in crowding valuation in the New York City subway 
      Bansal, Prateek; Hurtubia, Ricardo; Tirachini, Alejandro; Daziano, Ricardo A. (Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
      This paper aims at better understanding passenger valuation of subway crowding in New York City. To this end, we conducted a stated preference survey with a discrete choice experiment where New Yorkers chose an alternative ...
    • Improving patient access to a public hospital complex using agent simulation 
      Zambrano, Fabián; Concha, Pablo; Ramis, Francisco; Neriz Jara, Liliana; Bull, María; Veloz, Patricio; Carvajal, Jaime (IEEE, 2017)
      This paper uses agent based simulation to assess the effect of redesigning the points of access to a major public hospital complex in Chile, where nearly 15,000 people will pass through daily. The study is carried out by ...
    • Slanted snaking of localized Faraday waves 
      Pradenas Márquez, Bastián; Araya, Isidora; Clerc Gavilán, Marcel; Falcón Beas, Claudio; Gandhi, Punit; Knobloch, Edgar (American Physical Society, 2017)
      We report on an experimental, theoretical, and numerical study of slanted snaking of spatially localized parametrically excited waves on the surface of a water-surfactant mixture in a Hele-Shaw cell. We demonstrate ...
    • Spectrum of shallow water gravity waves generated by confined two-dimensional turbulence 
      Falcón, Claudio; Knobloch, Edgar (American Physical Society, 2018)
      We apply Lighthill's theory of aeroacoustic sound generation to shallow water gravity waves generated by spatially confined two-dimensional turbulence. We show that the frequency spectrum of surface waves at large distances ...
