    • Basso Sotz, Franco; Basso Sotz, Leonardo; Pezoa, Raúl (Elsevier, 2020)
      Previous real-time crash prediction models have scarcely used data disaggregated by vehicle type such as light, heavy and motorcycles. Thus, little effort has been made to quantify the impact of flow composition variables ...
    • Delonca, Adeline; Vallejos, J. A. (Elsevier, 2020)
      The evaluation of the depth of brittle failure around excavations is of major importance in order to optimize the design of underground excavations and ensure the safety of workers and equipment. The current proposed ...
    • Contador, Carolina A.; Veas Castillo, Luis; Tapia, Emilio; Antipán, Marcela; Miranda, Noemí; Ruiz Tagle, Benjamín; García Araya, Jonathan; Andrews, Barbara; Marín, Mauricio; Dorador, Cristina; Asenjo de Leuze, Juan (Springer, 2020)
      The Atacama Desert is one of the oldest and driest places on Earth. In the last decade, microbial richness and diversity has been acknowledged as an important biological resource of this region. Owing to the value of the ...
    • Molina, Mario I. (Elsevier, 2020)
      We examine a fractional version of the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger (dnls) equation, where the usual discrete laplacian is replaced by a fractional discrete laplacian. This leads to the replacement of the usual ...
    • Adoko, Amoussou Coffi; Vallejos, Javier; Trueman, Robert (Taylor & Francis, 2020)
      Stress relaxation plays an important role in the design of underground stopes. The aim of this paper is to assess the stope stability in connection with the stress relaxation using a classification approach. Three types ...
    • Herrera, José; Parra, Denis; Poblete, Bárbara (Elsevier, 2020)
      Community Question Answering (cQA) sites have emerged as platforms designed specifically for the exchange of questions and answers among communities of users. Although users tend to find good quality answers in cQA sites, ...
    • Gallegos, Javier A.; Aguila Camacho, Norelys; Duarte Mermoud, Manuel (Elsevier, 2020)
      In this paper, a general method to establish the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to multi-order multiple time-varying delays nonlinear systems is proposed. The method, relying on vector Lyapunov-like functions and on ...
    • Jara Díaz, Sergio (Elsevier, 2020)
      In this position paper we argue that transport decisions are intimately linked with the assignment of available time to activities, and that a full understanding of the so-called value of travel time savings (VTTS) requires ...
    • Hogan, Aidan (IOS Press, 2020)
      More than two decades have passed since the establishment of the initial cornerstones of the Semantic Web. Since its inception, opinions have remained divided regarding the past, present and potential future impact of the ...
    • Sehnbruch, Kirsten; González Soto, Pablo; Apablaza, Mauricio; Méndez, Rocío; Arriagada, Verónica (Elsevier, 2020)
      This paper proposes a methodology for measuring the quality of employment from a multidimensional and public policy perspective in Latin American developing countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, ...

      Background Hexanucleotide repeat expansions of the G(4)C(2) motif in a non-coding region of the C9ORF72 gene are the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Tissues ...
    • Tassara, Santiago; Reich Morales, Martín; Konecke, Brian A.; González Jiménez, José María; Simon, Adam C.; Morata Céspedes, Diego; Barra Pantoja, Fernando; Fiege, Adrián; Schilling, Manuel E.; Corgne, Alexandre (Frontiers Media, 2020)
      The oxidation state of the Earth's mantle and its partial melting products exert a key control on the behavior and distribution of sulfur and chalcophile and siderophile elements between the mantle and crust, underpinning ...
    • Fuentes, Ismael; Ulloa, Claudia; Jimenéz, Romel; García, Ximena (Elsevier, 2020)
      Reduction of Fe-phases in a slag from the copper smelting process is studied for its use as a catalyst in methanation of carbon oxide (CO). This material contains 36.4 wt% Fe and the main Fe-phases in its fresh and reduced ...

    • Paredes Cisneros, Isabela; Karger, Christian P.; Caprile, Paola; Nolte, David; Espinoza, Ignacio; Gago Arias, Araceli (Elsevier, 2020)
      Poor radiotherapy outcome is in many cases related to hypoxia, due to the increased radioresistance of hypoxic tumour cells. Positron emission tomography may be used to non-invasively assess the oxygenation status of the ...
    • Amrouche, C.; Conca Rosende, Carlos; Ghosh, A.; Ghosh, T. (Springer, 2020)
