Ecosystem engineering affects ecosystem functioning in high-Andean landscapes
(2008)
Ecosystem engineers are organisms that change the distribution of materials and energy in the abiotic environment, usually creating and maintaining new habitat patches in the landscape. Such changes in habitat conditions ...
Conceptual links between landscape diversity and diet diversity: a roadmap for transdisciplinary research
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
Multifractal analysis of polyalanines time series
(2010)
Multifractal properties of the energy time series of short -helix structures, specifically from a polyalanine family, are investigated through the MF-DFA technique (multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis). Estimates ...
Examining the Ensembles of Amyloid-β Monomer Variants and Their Propensities to Form Fibers Using an Energy Landscape Visualization Method
(2022-01-13)
The amyloid-β (Aβ) monomer, an intrinsically disordered peptide, is produced by the cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein, leading to Aβ-40 and Aβ-42 as major products. These two isoforms generate pathological aggregates, ...
Water Flow in Silica Nanopores Coated by Carbon Nanotubes from a Wetting Translucency Perspective
(American Chemical Society, 2019)
Nearly frictionless water transport makes carbon nanotubes promising materials for use as conduits in nanofluidic applications. Here, we conduct molecular dynamics simulations of water flow within amorphous silica nanopores ...
Acclimating to thermal changes: Intraspecific variation in a small mammal from the Andes Mountains
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2015-03)
Ambient temperature strongly affects an ecosystem's characteristics as well as the attributes of individuals, eventually determining the distribution of populations and species. Phenotypic plasticity plays a central role ...
Biomass yield and energy potential of short-rotation energy plantations of Gmelina arborea one year old in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2016)
Short-rotation woody plantations have been recently established in Costa Rica and Gmelina arborea has
gained popularity The present work assesses tree diameter and height, biomass distribution, specific
gravity, green ...
