    • Ghosh, B.; Guzmán Olivos, F.; Espinoza González, Rodrigo (Springer, 2017)
      Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films with tunable optical bandgap (Eg) were successfully deposited on glass and n-Si (100) substrates by radio frequency (RF)-sputtering technique in different argon (Ar) and acetylene (C2H2) ...
    • Cea Echenique, Sebastián; Hervés Beloso, Carlos; Torres Martínez, Juan Pablo (Springer, 2017)
      We include endogenous differential information in a model with sequential trade and incomplete financial participation. Agents update information through market signals given by commodity prices and asset deliveries. ...
    • Álvarez Socorro, A. J.; Clerc Gavilán, Marcel; González Cortés, G.; Wilson, M. (American Physical Society, 2017)
      Multistable systems exhibit a rich front dynamics between equilibria. In one-dimensional scalar gradient systems, the spread of the fronts is proportional to the energy difference between equilibria. Fronts spreading p ...
    • Buscher, Jamie Todd; Ascione, A.; Valente, E. (Elsevier, 2017)
      The proclivity of river networks to progressively carve mountain surfaces and preservemarkers of landscape adjustments has made analyses of fluvial systems fundamental for understanding the topographic development ...
    • Hobouchian, María Paula; Salio, Paola; García Skabar, Yanina; Vila, Daniel; Garreaud Salazar, René (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 ...
    • Henríquez, Ricardo; Campo, Valeria del; González Fuentes, Claudio; Correa Puerta, Jonathan; Moraga, Luis; Flores Carrasco, Marcos; Segura, Rodrigo; Donoso, Sebastián; Marín, Francisca; Bravo, Sergio; Häberle, Patricio (Elsevier, 2017)
      In order to study the effect of electron-surface scattering in gold ultrathin films (∼10 nm), we have prepared a set of Au samples on mica on top of a chromium seedlayer (<1 nm). Chromium is added as a metallic surfactant ...
    • Coronel, Aníbal; Maulén, Christopher; Pinto Jiménez, Manuel; Sepúlveda, Daniel (Academic Press, 2017)
      In this paper, ordinary and exponential dichotomies are defined in differential equations with equations with piecewise constant argument of general type. We prove the asymptotic equivalence between the bounded solutions ...
    • Espíritu, José; Peimbert, Antonio; Delgado-Inglada, Gloria; Ruiz, Mara (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, 2017)
      We present a long-slit spectroscopic analysis of Herbig-Haro 202 and the surrounding gas of the Orion Nebula using data from the Very Large Telescope3. We determined the spatial variation of its physical conditions and ...
    • Troncoso Meléndez, Andrés; Moya, Francisca; Campos Vallette, Marcelo; Carcamo, José J. (Springer, 2017)
      We report the first absolute dating for rock paintings by Andean hunter-gatherer groups. Analysis by Raman spectrometry of remains of black paintings from the center-north of Chile (30° lat. S) allows for the identification ...
    • Melnick, Daniel; Moreno, Marcos; Quinteros, Javier; Báez, Juan Carlos; Deng, Zhiguo; Li, Shaoyang; Oncken, Onno (Blackwell, 2017)
      Along a subduction zone, great megathrust earthquakes recur either after long seismic gaps lastingseveral decades to centuries or over much shorter periods lasting hours to a few years when cascadingsuccessions of earthquakes ...
    • Acevedo, Cristian A.; Sánchez, Elizabeth; Díaz Calderón, Paulo; Blaker, Jonny J.; Enrione, Javier; Quero, Franck (Wiley, 2017)
      In this study, synergistic effects of crosslinking and chitosan molecular weight on the microstructure, molecular mobility, thermal, and sorption properties of porous chitosan/ gelatin/ hyaluronic acid hybrid foams are ...
    • Chang, Violeta; García, Alejandra; Hitschfeld Kahler, Nancy; Härtel, Steffen (Elsevier, 2017)
      Background and Objective: Published algorithms for classification of human sperm heads are based on relatively small image databases that are not open to the public, and thus no direct comparison is available for competing ...
    • Jofré Cáceres, René; Rockafellar, R. T.; Wets, Roger J-B (Springer, 2017)
      A theory of economic equilibrium for incomplete financial markets in general real assets is developed in a new formulation with currency-denominated prices. The "goods" are not only commodities, and they can influence ...
    • Ramírez Cabrera, Héctor; Sossa, David (Springer, 2017)
      This paper is devoted to the study of optimal solutions of symmetric coneprograms by means of the asymptotic behavior of central paths with respect to a broadclass of barrier functions. This class is, for instance, larger ...
    • Sales Filho, Romero L. M.; López Droguett, Enrique; Lins, Isis D.; Moura, Márcio C.; Amiri, Mehdi; Azevedo, Rafael Valença (Wiley, 2017)
      When dealing with practical problems of stress-strength reliability, one can work with fatigue life data and make use of the well-known relation between stress and cycles until failure. For some materials, this kind of ...
    • Gupta, Vinod Kumar; Saravanan, R.; Agarwal, Shilpi; Gracia Caroca, Francisco; Khan, Mohammad Mansoob; Qin, Jiaqian; Mangalaraja, R. V. (Elsevier, 2017)
      In this study, synthesis of novel binary chitosan-SnO2nanocomposites is reported. Different physical and chemical techniques were used to characterize and analyze the characteristics of the chitosan-SnO2nanocomposites as ...
    • Silvestre, Luis; Bastarrica Piñeyro, María Cecilia; Ochoa Delorenzi, Sergio (IEEE, 2017)
      Model-driven Engineering (MDE) is a paradigmthat promotes the use of models and automatic model transfor-mations to handle complex software developments. Model trans-formations promise to reduce the effort ...
    • Peng, X.; Atroshchenko, Elena; Kerfriden, P.; Bordas, S. P.A. (Elsevier, 2017)
      We present a novel numerical method to simulate crack growth in 3D, directly from the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) geometry of the component, without any mesh generation. The method is an isogeometric boundary element ...
    • Torres, Boris; Quintero, Vanessa; Estévez Montero, Claudio; Orchard Concha, Marcos; Azurdia Meza, César (IEEE, 2017)
      Energy independence is a wireless device quality that demands the utmost exigency. Energy harvesting devices (EHD) alleviate the energy constraints demanded by these nodes and with the use of protocols, such as variable ...
