Ectotherms in Variable Thermal Landscapes: A Physiological Evaluation of the Invasive Potential of Fruit Flies Species
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
Climate change and biological invasions pose one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Most analyses of the potential biological impacts have focused on changes in mean temperature, but changes in thermal variance may ...
An efficient semi-analytical method to compute displacements and stresses in an elastic half-space with a hemispherical pit
(CIENCIAS, 2015)
This paper presents an efficient method to calculate the displacement and stress fields in an isotropic elastic half-space having a hemispherical pit and being subject to gravity. The method is semi-analytical and takes ...
Use of Fura 2 Fluorescent Dyes as Indicator for Studying Calcium Distribution in Several Plant Tissues
(CIENCIAS, 2010)
Calcium (Ca) is an essential plant nutrient and is important in determining quality of fruits in storage. The analytical method presently known to determine Ca concentration in vegetables measures total Ca, and there is a ...
Positive association between conflicts of interest and reporting of positive results in randomized clinical trials in dentistry
(CIENCIAS, 2013)
Background. The relationship between industry funding and study results has been explored widely in medicine but not in dentistry. The authors aimed to assess the relationship between conflicts of interest (COIs) and study ...

Thermal remote sensing of ice-debris landforms using ASTER: an example from the Chilean Andes
(CIENCIAS, 2012)
Remote sensors face challenges in characterizing mountain permafrost and ground thermal conditions or mapping rock glaciers and debris-covered glaciers. We explore the potential of thermal imaging and in particular thermal ...

Background: Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of the lip represents about 20% of all oral carcinomas. It is more common in men, peaking during their sixth and seventh decade, and is more prevalent in the lower lip. Aim: To ...
Bidding behavior in the Chilean electricity market
(HUMANIDADES, 2015)
Contracts in power markets are usually obscure. From recently public auctions of long-term supply contracts we can obtain information on how contract prices are determined. To understand generators' bidding behavior, this ...
Oral dryness in Sjogren's syndrome patients: Not just a question of water
(CIENCIAS, 2013)
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of undefined etiology. Patients with this syndrome suffer from severe alterations in both the quality and quantity of saliva and tears, due to impaired function of ...
