Impulse response functions (IRFs) and frequency response functions (FRFs) are fundamental quantities that describe the dynamic behaviour of a linear vibrating system in the time and frequency domains respectively. The ...

The hardness and softness quantities defined in density functional theory are discussed. A new scheme to calculate the hardness and softness hierarchies without resorting to the finite difference approximation is outlined. ...

One way to understand the behavioural patterns exhibited by a predator in response to prey density is to evaluate its functional response. Such evaluation yields information about basic mechanisms of prey-predator dynamics, ...

This review discusses basic aspects used to control the architecture and functional properties of smart hydrogels. The introduction briefly outlines what has been accomplished regarding smart hydrogels and explores historical ...

This paper presents a comparison between a multiple response function (MR) proposed for optimization of analyticalstrategies involving multi-element determinations with the desirability function D, which was proposed by ...

Chrysomya albiceps is a facultative predator and cannibal species during the larval stage. Very little is known about cannibalism and prey size preference, especially in blowflies. The purpose of this investigation was to ...
