Among the South American Arid Diagonal (SAAD), the Argentine Arid Diagonal (AAD) constitutes an area with low precipitations (less than 500 mm) and extends from the north of the country (on the border with Bolivia), to P...

The temporal dynamics in biological systems displays a wide range of behaviors, from periodic oscillations, as in rhythms, bursts, long-range (fractal) correlations, chaotic dynamics up to brown and white noise. Herein, ...

In this chapter, we explore the physicochemical composition of whey from bovine milk, the most representative technologies used for the production of added-value products and bioactive compounds or biomolecules from indu...

A noticeable aspect of metatherian evolution in South America is the influence of climatic oscillations in their macroevolutionary patterns, involving major radiations during warming phases, and extinctions and functiona...

Shigella is one of the most important waterborne and foodborne bacterial pathogens in the world. The species most commonly isolated from shigellosis patients is Shigella flexneri, which is found predominantly in developi...

Windows are architectural elements that have been developed for hundreds of years and play a central role in house functionality and other environments where humans have developed their lives, transport, and work. Smart ...

Neo-extractivism is an analytical category born in Latin America that has a great descriptive and explanatory power, as well as a denunciatory character and a strong mobilizing power. This refers to a way of appropriatin...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of hum...

Many seed gums extracted from Prosopis spp. were investigated during recent years: P.africana from Senegal, P. affinis from Uruguay, P. glandulosa from México have shownpromising physicochemical properties and high simi...

This Chapter presents an account of the main processes and events in the recent history of the interaction between social movements and the judicial system in Latin America. It first discusses analytical frameworks for t...

The present chapter explores how the distinctive characteristics of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), particularly when at different interfaces, account for many novel potential applications in the oil industry. According t...

We present new biostratigraphic data provided by ammonites, calcareous nannofossils, and calpionellids from Las Alcantarillas, a 127 m-thick section from the Neuquén Basin, western Argentina. The combined biostratigraph...

Several mathematical models in SARS-CoV-2 have shown how the target cell model can help to understand the spread of the virus in the host and how potential antiviral treatments can help to control the virus. Concepts as ...

The social appropriation of water in Patagonia is not only associated with its historical-spatial configuration and the uses of the territory, but also with the social, environmental and economic interests around water, ...

Several studies reported decreases in populations of Adélie penguins in the north and west of the Antarctic Peninsula. Thus, from 1994 to 2019 we studied the population trend of Adélie penguins at Hope/Esperanza Bay. F...

Latin America and the Caribbean is known worldwide as the most unequal region on the planet. However, all the academic attention given to its levels of poverty and income distribution has not been matched by the study of...

A novel and simple self-assembled direct formation of ZnO nanorod (NR) bunches on boron (p-type)-doped crystalline Si (100) substrates has been achieved by the EPD technique. All the nanostructures were formed from a col...
