Economic Growth, humand capital and negative externalities: stability and chaos
(Universidade Católica de Brasília. Mestrado e Doutorado em Economia, 2009-12)
In this work we analyze the importance of the accumulation of human capital through the formal educational system for economic growth. We base our analysis on two previous models (London: 2005, London: 2006) in which, ...
On "Feedback stabilization of fed-batch bioreactors: Non-monotonic growth kinetics"
(American Chemical Society, 2005-12)
This note deals with the control of the substrate concentration in fed-batch bioreactions with non-monotonic growth kinetics. More specifically, a modified version of a linearizing control strategy is proposed. Its main ...
Irrigation and fertilization as tools to boost growth stability of stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) plantations
(Elsevier Science, 2020-05-28)
Pinus pinea is a Mediterranean species that has been found to grow and develop vigorously in Chile. This species is resistant to drought; however, it has been found to be sensitive to increasing aridity. A few studies have ...
A Markov-switching approach to the study of citations in academic journals
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
In this paper, we introduce a Markovian approach to study the stability and growth of citations in academic journals by featuring a regime-switching analysis. We characterize the regime structure exhibited by the series ...
Polyethyleneimine-protein interactions and implications on protein stability
(Elsevier Science, 2010-07)
Protein stability assessment of seven model proteins in the presence of low molecular weight polyethyleneimine (PEI, MW 2000Da) was performed. Thermodynamic stability, monitored by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, ...
Characterization of anodic growth and dissolution of antimony oxide films
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2009-07)
The anodic growth, morphology and stability of antimony oxide films grown in buffered phosphate electrolytes has been characterized by electrochemical methods, in situ ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy. The anodic ...
Reproductive partitioning and seed set efficiency in soybean, sunflower and maize
(Elsevier Science, 2001-09)
Seed number per plant (SNP) can be modelled as a function of plant growth rate during the critical period for seed set (PGRC), the proportion of plant growth partitioned to reproductive organs (PR) and the minimum assimilate ...
Kinetics and growth mechanism of the photoinduced synthesis of silver nanoparticles stabilized with lysozyme
(Elsevier Science, 2018-12)
A fast and single-step procedure is reported for the preparation of stable solutions of spherical-shaped silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) coated with lysozyme (LZ). The preparation of the AgNP@LZ nanocomposites was based on ...
Effects of inoculation of corn silage with Lactobacillus hilgardii and Lactobacillus buchneri on silage quality, aerobic stability, nutrient digestibility, and growth performance of growing beef cattle
(American Society of Animal Science, 2020-08-21)
This study evaluated the effects of inoculation of whole crop corn silage with a mixture of heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria (LAB) composed of Lactobacillus hilgardii and Lactobacillus buchneri on ensiling, aerobic ...
Shedding Light on the Dark Corners of Metal-Organic Framework Thin Films: Growth and Structural Stability of ZIF-8 Layers Probed by Optical Waveguide Spectroscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2018-11)
Metal-organic framework (MOF) thin films are promising materials for multiple technological applications, such as chemical sensing. However, one potential limitation for their widespread use in different settings is their ...
