      On 25 December 2016, the M-w 7.6 Chiloe earthquake broke a plate boundary asperity in south central Chile near the center of the rupture zone of the Mw 9.5 Valdivia earthquake of 1960. To gain insight on decadal-scale ...
    • Sepúlveda Valenzuela, Sergio; Rebolledo Lemus, Sofía; Vargas Easton, Víctor (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2006-12)
      Debris flows are an important type of geological hazard in Chile, affecting cities, towns and rural areas throughout the country despite the variation in climate regimes. In this summary paper, recent debris flows in the ...
    • Aguirre, Catalina; Flores Aqueveque, Valentina Alejandra; Vilches, Pablo; Vásquez, Alicia; Rutllant Costa, José Angel Juan; Garreaud Salazar, René Darío (MDPI, 2021)
      Surface winds along the subtropical west coast of South America are characterized by the quasi-weekly occurrences of low-level jet events. These short lived but intense wind events impact the coastal ocean environment. ...
    • Segura, Hans; Espinoza, Jhan Carlo; Junquas, Clementine; Lebel, Thierry; Vuille, Mathias; Garreaud Salazar, René (Springer, 2020)
      Analyzing December-February (DJF) precipitation in the southern tropical Andes-STA (12 circle S}; > 3000 m.a.s.l) allows revisiting regional atmospheric circulation features accounting for its interannual variability over ...
    • Rivera Ibáñez, Sergio; Bown, Francisca (Elsevier, 2013)
      Glaciers in the southern province of the Southern Volcanic Zone (SVZ) of Chile (37e46 S) have experienced significant frontal retreats and area losses in recent decades which have been primarily triggered by tropospheric ...
    • Bozkurt, Deniz; Bromwich, David H.; Carrasco, Jorge; Hines, Keith M.; Maureira, Juan Carlos; Rondanelli Rojas, Roberto (Science Press, 2020)
      This study investigates the recent near-surface temperature trends over the Antarctic Peninsula. We make use of available surface observations, ECMWF's ERA5 and its predecessor ERA-Interim, as well as numerical simulations, ...
    • Casetti-Dinescu, Dana I.; Moni Bidin, Christian; Girard, Terrence M.; Méndez Bussard, René Alejandro; Vieira, Katherine; Korchagin, Vladimir I.; Van Altena, William F. (The American Astronomical Society, 2014)
      Strongly interacting galaxies undergo a short-lived but dramatic phase of evolution characterized by enhanced star formation, tidal tails, bridges, and other morphological peculiarities. The nearest example of a pair of ...
    • Rosenbluth López, Benjamín; Fuenzalida Ponce, Humberto; Aceituno Gutiérrez, Patricio (1997)
      Results from a critical appraisal of surface mean air temperature in Chile and Argentina and extreme air temperature in Chile during the present century are presented. Observations were homogenized to produce a set of ...
    • Shah, Raj; Gashi, Blerim; González Poggini, Sergio; Colet Lagrille, Melanie; Rosenkranz, Andreas (SAGE, 2021)
      Future progress in hybrid and battery vehicles heavily relies on the optimization of involved battery components and lubricants. Attention must specifically be given to the material composition and surface coatings of the ...
    • Bagh, Adib; Jofré Cáceres, René (BLACKWELL, 2006-11)
      A convex, compact, and possibly discontinuous better reply secure game has a Nash equilibrium. We introduce a very weak notion of continuity that can be used to establish that a game is better reply secure and we show that ...
    • Rascon de Lira, Rodolfo; Cortes, Douglas D.; Pastén Puchi, César (Elsevier, 2015)
      Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is a granular composite geomaterial that is highly reactive to the environment under normal atmospheric conditions. The binder aging processes that contribute to pavement deterioration do ...
    • Durán, G.; Fernández Slezak, F.; Grippo, L. N.; Oliveira, F. de S.; Szwarcfiter, J. L. (Elsevier, 2018-08-20)
      We study those unit interval graphs having a model with intervals of integer endpoints and prescribed length. We present a structural result for this graph subclass which leads to a quadratic-time recognition algorithm, ...
    • Ruiz del Solar, Javier; Verschae, Rodrigo; Correa, Mauricio (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009)
      The aim of this work is to carry out a comparative study of face recognition methods that are suitable to work in unconstrained environments. The analyzed methods are selected by considering their performance in former ...
    • Martínez, Luz María; Ruiz del Solar, Javier (Springer Verlag, 2017)
      In this work a system for recognizing grasp points in RGB-D images is proposed. This system is intended to be used by a domestic robot when deploying clothes lying at a random position on a table. By taking into ...
    • Pozo, R. A.; Cusack, J. J.; Acebes, P.; Malo, J. E.; Traba, J.; Iranzo, E. C.; Morris Trainor, Z.; Minderman, J.; Bunnefeld, N.; Radic Schlling, Sergio Javier; Moraga, C. A.; Arriagada, R.; Corti, P. (Elsevier, 2021)
      Increasing food security and preventing further loss of biodiversity are two of humanity’s most pressing challenges. Yet, efforts to address these challenges often lead to situations of conflict between the interests of ...
    • Ibáñez, Matías; Ruz, Cristian; Henrio, Ludovic; Bustos Jiménez, Javier (IEEE, 2016)
      A component-based framework for building reconfigurable and distributed applications facilitates the programming of autonomic behavior. A distributed master-slave application that self-adjusts its load demonstrates the approach
    • Paredes, Gonzalo; Vargas Díaz, Luis; Maldonado Alarcón, Sebastián (Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2020)
