      Environmental adjustment is the most invoked explanation for intra-seasonal variation in bird nest morphology. However, time constraints may also be important, coming as a trade-off between the costs of nest building and ...
    • The HSAB principle from a finite temperature grand‑canonical perspective 
      Miranda Quintana, Ramón; Kim, Taewon David; Cárdenas Valencia, Carlos; Ayers, Paul W. (Springer, 2017)
      We provide a new proof for Pearson’s hard/ soft acid/base (HSAB) principle. Unlike alternative proofs, we do not presuppose a simplified parabolic dependence on the energy of the system with respect to changes in ...
