Beta decay rates evaluated within the Gross Theory using experimental data for the Gamow-Teller resonance parameter
(Sociedade Brasileira de Física, 2020-06)
We improve the results for the β−-decay rates obtained within the context of the Gross Theory of Beta Decay (GTBD) by using new values of the parameter σN related to the standard deviation for the Gamow-Teller resonance: ...
Are rural-urban migration and sustainable development compatible in mountain systems?
(Mountain Research & Development, 2007-12)
Rural-urban migration is having a considerable socioeconomic and environmental effect in mountain regions. In response, most rural development programs discourage outmigration on the grounds that it has negative social ...
Adjusting to trade policy: Evidence from U.S. antidumping duties on Vietnamese catfish
(MIT Press, 2012-02)
In 2003, after claims of dumping, the United States imposed heavy tariffs on Vietnamese catfish, which led to a collapse of imports. We use panel data to explore household responses in the catfish-producing Mekong delta ...
Adjusting Venus: The Use of Maximum Elongations in the Almagest and Ptolemy’s Theory of Knowledge
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-04)
There has been much debate surrounding the way in which Ptolemy handled the observations that are behind his planetary models. This article aims at presenting an interesting case of manipulation of observational data within ...
Ion accumulation, water relations and osmotic adjustment in Atriplex argentina, A. crenatifolia, A. lampa and A. nummularia under saline conditions
(David Publishig, 2016-12)
Salinity is a major stress that adversely affects growth and productivity in plants. There are species that tolerate this stress within the genus Atriplex. Four species, A. lampa, A. crenatifolia, A. nummularia and A. ...
Parameterization of the hargreaves equation in the northern oasis of Mendoza, ArgentinaParametrización de la ecuación de Hargreaves en el oasis norte de Mendoza, Argentina
(Universidad Nacional de Cuyo, 2018-12)
In view of the water scarcity that affects the province of Mendoza, Argentina, information on reference crop evapotranspiration (ET0 ) is crucial for irrigation scheduling. Data that are not generally available is required ...
Experimental reintroduction of three grassland forbs to assess climate-adjusted provenancing, grazing protection and weed control
(Csiro Publishing, 2019-01)
We explored climate-adjusted provenancing as a strategy for reintroduction of three perennial forbs: Microseris walteri, Bulbine bulbosa and Stackhousia monogyna into native grassland with a history of livestock grazing. ...
Cerebral dynamics during the observation of point-light displays depicting postural adjustments
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2017-05)
Objective: As highly social creatures, human beings rely part of their skills of identifying, interpreting, and predicting the actions of others on the ability of perceiving biological motion. In the present study, we aim ...
Effect of thermal stress on metabolic and oxidative stress biomarkers of Hoplosternum littorale (Teleostei, Callichthyidae)
(Elsevier Science, 2017-08)
The present study aimed to investigate in Hoplosternum littorale (Hancock, 1828) the effects of different water temperatures (10 °C, 25 °C-control group- and 33 °C) on physiologic and metabolic traits following acute (1 day) ...
Patterns of anabranching channels: the ultimate end-member adjustment of mega rivers
(Elsevier Science, 2008-10)
Large fluvial systems adjust to a combination of controls to form distinctive channels, which represent a dominant factor in the evolution of floodplain geomorphology and sedimentology. Fluvial geomorphology has commonly ...
