The use of recycled concrete aggregates in new concrete is an alternative that can provide economical and environmental benefits. However, the influence of the inert particles on the mechanical behavior of concrete needs ...

Hydraulic fracturing is a technique based on the injection of a viscous fluid at high pressure into an engineered well with the intention of initiating and propagating multiple fractures in a rock formation containing ...

The inclusion of special interface elements between standard finite elements is becoming a common technique to model discontinuities in porous media using the finite element method (FEM). Recently, it was proved that high ...

Many reservoirs consist of fully saturated rock masses containing a very complex natural fracture network. In such cases a decrease in the fracture fluid pressure reduces its aperture due to an increase in the effective ...

A great variety of applications require HAR (Human Action Recognition) information as input. A topic that is applied in such various areas becomes particularly prevalent recently because of their explosively emerging ...

The developmental brain gene NPAS3 stands out as a hot spot in human evolution since it contains the largest number of human-specific fast-evolving conserved non-coding elements. In this paper we studied 2xHAR142, one of ...

Se ha propuesto que la divergencia fenotípica entre humanos y chimpancés se debe en gran medida a cambios en la regulación de genes que participan en el desarrollo en lugar de cambios en las secuencias codificantes de ...

Natural fractures exert a strong influence in the hydraulic behavior of a porous system, thus having a great impact in many areas of geotechnical engineering, such as hydroge-ology and petroleum engineering. This work ...
