Finite size scaling in the local abundances of geographic populations
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2011)
Scale: Discourse and Dimensions of Social Life
"Wherever we turn, we see diverse things scaled for us, from cities to economies, from history to love. We know scale by many names and through many familiar antinomies: local and global, micro and macro events. Even the ...
As escalas local e global apresentadas em teses e dissertações brasileiras de educação ambiental
(Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação para a Ciência, Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), Faculdade de Ciências, campus de Bauru., 2014)
Whereas the debates on environmental issues, as well as on the possibilities of coping with them should consider the inherent relationship between the local and global scales, we became interested in mapping and discussing ...
Finite size scaling in the local abundances of geographic populations
(2011)
We analyzed the statistical distribution of intra-specifi c local abundances for a set North American breeding bird species. We constructed
frequency plots for every species and found that they showed long-tail power-law ...
Cost, production and efficiency in local bus industry: An empirical analysis for the bus system of Santiago
(2018)
The aggregate cost structure of the Santiago (Chile) urban bus transport industry is studied for the presence of economies of scale, return to scale and technical efficiency. Econometric models using both operator cost and ...
Defining universality classes for three different local bifurcations
(2016-10-01)
The convergence to the fixed point at a bifurcation and near it is characterized via scaling formalism for three different types of local bifurcations of fixed points in differential equations, namely: (i) saddle-node; ...
Fostering local sustainable development in Tanzania by enhancing linkages between tourism and small-scale agriculture
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2017-09-20)
Tourism and agriculture are important contributors to the development of local economies. Many developing nations that are now experiencing rapid tourism growth have agrarian societies and tourism is the first or second ...
Taxia e agregação não local em um sistema planta herbívoro
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBRMatemáticaUFSMPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Matemática, 2013-04-11)
The dispersal of herbivorous insects in large plantations must be modelled by
taking into account many behavioral aspects of the individual movement. The insect
ability to search for (and find) better plant quality are ...
The effects of land use at different spatial scales on instream features in agricultural streams
(2017-07-01)
The conversion of forests into agriculture has been identified as a key process for stream homogenization. However, the effects of this conversion can be scale-dependent. In this context, our aim was to identify the influence ...
