Water availability is one of the main limiting factors that control ecosystem functions and productivity in semiarid regions. Vegetation of these regions usually presents a patchy distribution where sparse plant cover is...

Climate change is a touchable phenomenon and hydrogen has become an attractive solution for experts and for policymakers. However, in order to understand the environmental impact of an energy vector, it is necessary to c...

Significant optical engineering advances at the University of Arizona are being made for design, fabrication, and construction of next generation astronomical telescopes. This summary review paper focuses on the technolo...

Abstract Fascioliasis is a freshwater snail-borne zoonotic disease. The Northern Bolivian Altiplano is a very high altitude endemic area where the highest human prevalences and intensities have been reported. Preventive ...

T47D and IBH6 cells that overexpress RUNX2 show high levels of FGFR2 and FGF2, supporting the hypothesis that FGF2 increases RUNX2 and, in turn, RUNX2 increases FGF2, maintaining a positive loop. However, in these models...

Abstract Current research of binocular vision systems mainly need to resolve the camera’s intrinsic parameters before the reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) objects. The classical Zhang’ calibration is hardly t...

En tiempos de crisis económicas parece que el territorio «no importa»... o importa menos que nunca. Este argumento deja de lado, conscientemente o no, la posibilidad de las nuevas formas innovadoras que contribuyen pr...

Abstract Gear fault diagnosis technologies have received rapid development and been effectively implemented in many engineering applications. However, the various working conditions would degrade the diagnostic performan...
