(Elsevier B.V., 2018)We propose a multicriteria decision-making framework to support strategic decisions in forest management, taking into account uncertainty due to climate change and sustainability goals. In our setting, uncertainty is ...
-
(Birkhauser Verlag AG, 2018)A common characteristic of deep mines in hard rock is induced seismicity. This results from stress changes and rock failure around mining excavations. Following large seismic events, there is an increase in the levels ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2018)Laser surface texturing is an efficient way to control the friction and wear properties of materials. Although described in many papers, most previous work relates to a pure topographic view of laser-textured surfaces. ...
-
(Springer Netherlands, 2018)Innovative procedures were used to selectively isolate small numbers of Micromonospora strains from extreme hyper-arid and high altitude Atacama Desert soils. Micromonosporae were recognised on isolation plates by their ...
-
(Elsevier B.V., 2018)The problem of universality of critical exponents in complex networks is studied based on networks built from seismic data sets. Using two data sets corresponding to Chilean seismicity (northern zone, including the 2014 ...
-
(Springer Netherlands, 2018)Metabolic modelling is a useful tool that enables the rational design of metabolic engineering experiments and the study of the unique capabilities of biotechnologically important microorganisms. The extreme abiotic ...
-
(Springer Netherlands, 2018)The Atacama Desert, the driest of its kind on Earth, hosts a number of unique geological and geochemical features that make it unlike any other environment on the planet. Considering its location on the western border of ...
-
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018)The disutility of transfers in multimodal public transport goes beyond the additional walking and waiting times. Although the magnitude of this pure transfer penalty has been proven to be an essential element in the ...
-
(Cambridge University Press, 2016)Yao et al. (YYZ09a; YYZ07) claimed a potential limitation on the class of protocols that could be securely implemented in the Generalized Universal Composability (GUC) framework proposed by Canetti et al. (CDPW07). ...
-
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018)The Atacama Desert’s hyper-aridity is closely linked to the development of world-class copper and nitrate/iodine ores and to regional tectonics and global paleoclimate changes in the Cenozoic era. The timing when the ...
-
(American Physical Society, 2018)Capital to topological insulators, the bulk-boundary correspondence ties a topological invariant computed from the bulk (extended) states with those at the boundary, which are hence robust to disorder. Here we put forward ...
-
(Cambridge University Press, 2018)In this article, we provide sufficient conditions on a self-similar interval exchange map, whose renormalization matrix has complex eigenvalues of modulus greater than one, for the existence of affine interval exchange ...
-
(Elsevier B.V., 2018)The central Chilean margin (32°–33°S) is characterized by the subduction of the Juan Fernández Ridge (JFR) beneath the continental South American plate. The JFR corresponds to a hotspot track composed by seamounts typically ...
-
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018)Research on political representation has traditionally focused on the design of electoral systems. Yet there is evidence that voting costs result in lower turnout and undermine voters’ confidence in the electoral system. ...
-
(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2017)Vibration-based damage assessment approaches use modal parameters, such as frequency response functions, mode shapes, and natural frequencies, as indicators of structural damage. Nevertheless, these parameters are sensitive ...
-
(Academic Press Inc., 2018)We present the evolution of the atmospheric variables that affect planetary climate by increasing the obliquity by using a general circulation model (PlaSim) coupled to a slab ocean with mixed layer flux correction. We ...
-
(Academic Press Inc., 2018)We study cooperation dynamics in repeated games with Markovian private information. After any history, signaling reveals information that helps players coordinate their future actions, but also makes the problem of ...
-
Prediction of leak flow rate in plastic water distribution pipes using vibro-acoustic measurements (SAGE Publications Ltd, 2018)© 2017, The Author(s) 2017. Leakage from water distribution systems is a worldwide issue with consequences including loss of revenue, health and environmental concerns. Leaks have typically been found through leak noise ...
-
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018)The Chilean Frontal Cordillera, near 28°450 S, provides a remarkable example to explore the evolution of the Central Andes; this area provides conspicuous pediment surfaces and continental deposits, which allowed us to ...
-
(Springer International Publishing, 2018)The effects of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be reduced by closing anthropogenic cycles, and the methanation of carbon dioxide with hydrogen provides a promising option. Nevertheless, the reaction mechanism of ...
