The problem of knowing and characterizing the transitive behavior of a given cellular automaton is a very interesting topic. This paper provides a matrix representation of the global dynamics in reversible one-dimensional ...

The aim of the present study was to describe the type of interaction between swimmers and sea lions, during tourist trips, at a small colony in Northern Patagonia, Argentina. Particularly we explored if sea lions would ...

This paper shows an application of Type-reduction algorithms for computing the steady state of an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Markov Chain (IT2FM). The IT2FM approach is an extension of the scope of a Type-1 fuzzy markov chain ...

The relationship between shrinkage during drying and 'glass'-'rubber' transitions of apple tissue was studied. Our results did not indicate that structural collapse of apple pieces can be reduced by diminishing the difference ...

In the present study, the creep behavior of polyetherimide semipreg and epoxy prepreg composites was studied using dynamic mechanical analyzer and focused on structure vs. property relationships in glassy, glass transition, ...

In this study, to preserve the integrity of plasma protein, protective agents, such as saccharides are added to produce a glassy (vitrified) state. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to measure the glass ...

The objective of this chapter is to discuss some aspects that affect the interfacial transition zone between lignocellulosic fibers and cement matrix, such as raw materials, processing, and curing methods. A major advantage ...

Metric spaces are characterized by distances between pairs of elements. Systems that are physically similar are expected to present smaller distances (between their densities, wave functions, and potentials) than systems ...

Incorporation of rigid fillers into polymer matrices represents a widely used technique to obtain improved performance. The mechanical behavior finally obtained is closely related to a wide range of involved factors (filler ...
