In this work, we consider an agent-based model in order to study the wealth distribution problem where the interchange is determined with a symmetric zero-sum game. Simultaneously, the agents update their way of play try...

An iterative refining method using FullProf software (Rietveld refinement) as a multi-input–output black-box with cyclic feedback is proposed in order to accurately measure the lattice misfit in two-phase coherent allo...

A quantitative interpretation of the schlieren technique applied to a non-thermal atmospheric-pressure oxygen plasma jet driven at low-frequency (50 Hz) is reported. The jet was operated in the turbulent regime with a ho...

We study a single class of traffic acting on a symmetric set of processor-sharing queues with finite buffers, and we consider the case where the load scales with the number of servers. We address the problem of giving ro...

A set of coupled Brownian motors—resulting from a noise-induced phase transition generated through an entropic mechanism, and formerly studied in mean-field approximation—is numerically integrated by Heun’s method....

Environmental surveillance is an effective approach to investigate the circulation of human enteroviruses in the population. Enteroviruses E14, CVA9, E-6, E16, E20, E25, E13, and CVA24 were detected in sewage and a water...

Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis causes bacterial wilt and canker in tomato. A detailed account of pathogen effects on growth and water parameters of affected plants is lacking. Besides, the long latent per...

We investigate the enamel microstructure of 37 isolated rodent incisors from several late middle Eocene and late Oligocene localities of Contamana (Loreto Department, Peruvian Amazonia), and from the early Oligocene TAR-...

The relationship between “marginal” and “mainstream” science has, in recent decades, become a matter of discussion. Traditional perspectives must be reexamined in the wake of transformations in the international ...

We study the correlator of concentric circular Wilson loops for arbitrary radii, spatial and internal space separations. For real values of the parameters specifying the dual string configuration, a typical Gross-Ooguri ...

We have studied the effect of the pelletization pressure on microstructural and electrical transport properties of superconducting ceramics with starting composition given by the formula Bi 1.65Pb 0.35Sr 2Ca 2.5Cu 3.5O 1...

Seed dispersal by vertebrate animals is important for the establishment of many fleshy-fruited plant species. Different frugivorous species can provide different seed dispersal services according to their specific dietar...

In this paper we study the effective lepton flavor violating vertex of an electroweak Z gauge boson and two charged leptons with different flavor, lk and lm, that is generated to one-loop in low scale seesaw models with ...

In this paper, we consider a general regression model where missing data occur in the response and in the covariates. Our aim is to estimate the marginal distribution function and a marginal functional, such as the mean,...

Generalist seed predators are an important factor shaping non-native species invasion. Their effect is highly influenced by abiotic conditions, yet how the importance of this biotic filter changes in a gradient of abioti...

This chapter explores the relationship between cultural (e.g., utilitarian), psychological (e.g., prominence and ease of observation), and organoleptic factors (e.g., taste perceptions) related to the use of stingless be...

Alpha-synuclein (SNCA) oligomers have been reported to inhibit autophagy. Aminochrome-induced SNCA oligomers are neurotoxic, but the flavoenzyme DT-diaphorase prevents both their formation and their neurotoxicity. Howeve...

Land-derived dissolved and particulate matter (allochthonous matter) affect pelagic ecosystems by changing factors which include light penetration, nutrient availability, substrate concentration, and in general, biogeoch...

The subterranean environment has strongly influenced the evolution of the sensory biology of subterranean rodents. While dark and monotonous tunnels have led to reductions in the visual capabilities of some species, othe...
