    • Pak, Andrey; Correa, Javier; Adams, Martin (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2018)
      An increased concern in space situational awareness has resulted from the rise in space debris and its threat to future space missions. For safety reasons, it is critically important to populate and maintain a catalog of ...
    • Pardo Gandarillas, María Cecilia; Ibáñez, Christian M.; Yamashiro, Carmen; Méndez, Marco; Poulin, Elie (Springer, 2018)
      Climatic and oceanographic events occurring during the last glacial cycle in the Humboldt Current System (HCS) have left genetic footprints in marine invertebrate populations. The objective of this study was to evaluate ...
    • Streicher, Jeffrey W.; Miller, Elizabeth C.; Guerrero, Pablo C.; Correa, Claudio; Ortiz, Juan C.; Crawford, Andrew J.; Pie, Marcio R.; Wiens, John J. (Academic Press INC Elsevier Science, 2018)
      Phylogenomic approaches offer a wealth of data, but a bewildering diversity of methodological choices. These choices can strongly affect the resulting topologies. Here, we explore two controversial approaches (binning genes ...
    • Ramírez Otarola, Natalia; Espinoza, Janyr; Kalergis, Alexis M.; Sabat Kirkwood, Alejandro Pablo (Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTD, 2018)
      Environmental temperature is a variable that influences all aspects of organisms, from physiological, e.g. immune function, and morphological traits to behavior. Recent studies have reported that environmental temperature ...
    • Sepúlveda Macias, Matías; Amigo, Nicolás; Gutiérrez Gallardo, Gonzalo (Elsevier, 2018)
      A molecular dynamics study of the effect of a single B2–CuZr precipitate on the mechanical properties of Cu50Zr50 metallic glass nanowires is presented. Four different samples are considered: three with a 2, 4 and 6 nm ...
    • Günther Sapunar, Germán; Herlax, Vanesa; Lillo, M. Pilar; Sandoval Altamirano, Catalina; Belmar, Libnny N.; Sánchez, Susana A. (Elsevier Science BV, 2018)
      The study of surfactant and bio membranes interaction is particularly complex due to the diversity in lipid composition and the presence of proteins in natural membranes. Even more difficult is the study of this interaction ...
    • Acevedo, Alejandro; González Billault, Christian (Elsevier, 2018)
      The small RhoGTPase Rac1 is implicated in a variety of events related to actin cytoskeleton rearrangement. Remarkably, another event that is completely different from those related to actin regulation has the same relevance; ...
    • Santos Carvallo, Macarena; Sepulveda, Maritza; Moraga, Rodrigo; Landaeta, Mauricio F.; Oliva, Doris; Pérez Alvarez, María José (University of Hawaii Press, 2018)
      Biotic and abiotic factors determine presence and habitat use pattern of individuals within a population. In this study, presence, behavior, and resighting patterns of transient bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) ...
    • Lukasik, Piotr; Nazario, Katherine; Van Leuven, James T.; Campbell, Matthew A.; Meyer, Mariah; Michalik, Anna; Pessacq, Pablo; Simon, Chris; Veloso Iriarte, Claudio; McCutcheon, John P. (National Academy of Sciences, 2018)
      Bacterial endosymbionts that provide nutrients to hosts often have genomes that are extremely stable in structure and gene content. In contrast, the genome of the endosymbiont Hodgkinia cicadicola has fractured into multiple ...
    • Gazitua, Marcela; Tapia, Ricardo A.; Contreras Ramos, Renato; Campodonico, Paola R. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)
      The reaction of 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride toward propylamine was kinetically evaluated in 19 organic solvents and 10 ionic liquids as reaction media. This study was compared with a previous study to experimentally ...
    • González Gómez, Paulina L.; Echeverria, V.; Estades, C. E.; Wingfield, J. C.; González Gómez, Lucía (Oxford University Press, 2018)
    • Pouchucq, Luis; Lobos Ruiz, Pablo; Araya, Gissela; Marfa Valpuesta, Jose; Monasterio Opazo, Octavio (Elsevier, 2018)
      The type II chaperonin CCT is involved in the prevention of the pathogenesis of numerous human misfolding disorders, as it sequesters misfolded proteins, blocks their aggregation and helps them to achieve their native ...
    • Zhou, Taotao; Modarres, Mohammad; López Droguett, Enrique (Elsevier Science BV, 2018)
      This paper proposes an improved approach to external event probabilistic risk assessment for multi-unit sites. It considers unit-to-unit dependencies based on the integration of the copula notion, importance sampling, and ...
    • Briones O., Ximena; Tapia, Ricardo A.; Campodonico, Paola R.; Urzúa Acevedo, Marcela; Leiva, Angel; Contreras Ramos, Renato; González Navarrete, Javier (Elsevier, 2018)
      The main motivation of this work is to obtain poly (ionic liquids) (PILs) derived from poly (4-vinyl pyridine) of different hydrophobic character containing BF4-, PF6-, (CF3SO2)(2) N- and CF3SO3- as counterions. PILs were ...
