Babylonian solar theory on the Antikythera Mechanism
(Springer, 2020-05)
This article analyzes the angular spacing of the degree marks on the zodiac scale of the Antikythera mechanism and demonstrates that over the entire preserved 88° of the zodiac, the marks are systematically placed too close ...
Crocodile-like sensory scales in a Late Jurassic theropod dinosaur
(Cell Press, 2020-10)
Early in amniote evolution, epidermal scales evolved in stem reptiles as an efficient barrier against water loss and ultraviolet radiation, making them a key development in the transition to a fully terrestrial existence ...
Variation in aggregate descriptors of rocky shore communities: a test of synchrony across spatial scales
(Springer, 2019-04)
Rocky shore communities usually show complex patterns of compositional variation in space and time. Yet, this does not rule out the possibility of observing coherent temporal trends in aggregate community variables (e.g., ...
Scaling of wind energy conversion system for time-accelerated and size-scaled experiments
(Elsevier, 2017)
This paper presents a scaling methodology based on dimensional analysis and applicable to systems’ mathematical models. The main goal of this research is to propose time-accelerated and size-scaled HIL (Hardware In the ...
Geometric morphometrics reveal complex shape variation patterns at different geographic scales in the patagonian gastropod Trophon geversianus
(Springer, 2021-07)
Environments with strong gradients in physical conditions, such as rocky intertidal, induce animal morphological strategies to face them. The gastropod Trophon geversianus inhabit within the intertidal and subtidal habitats ...
Scale-dependent effects of conspecific flower availability on pollination quantity and quality in an invasive shrub
(Springer, 2018-10)
Pollen limitation can strongly influence reproduction of pollinator-dependent plants. Flower abundance can affect pollination ‘quantity’ and ‘quality’ due to its influence on pollen availability and foraging patterns of ...
Anisotropy and nonuniversality in scaling laws of the large-scale energy spectrum in rotating turbulence
(American Physical Society, 2012-09)
Rapidly rotating turbulent flow is characterized by the emergence of columnar structures that are representative of quasi-two-dimensional behavior of the flow. It is known that when energy is injected into the fluid at an ...
Assessing the cross-scale impact of 50 years of agricultural transformation in Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2011-11)
Given the increasing number of actors related to farming that make decisions at different scales (plot, farm, region, etc.), knowledge about patterns and processes that behave hierarchically is increasingly needed. This ...
An objective multi-scale model with hybrid injection
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-02)
This paper presents a new semi-concurrent multi-scale model to study the behaviour of composite materials in softening regime. A mixed formulation is used to simulate discontinuities in both scales. The traction over the ...
Water use in rain-fed farming at different scales in the Pampas of Argentina
(Elsevier, 2012-06)
Water use in farming will be an issue of increasing global concern since competition for freshwater among sectors will grow, especially in a water-scarce scenario. Understanding how farming system configurations at different ...
