Terrestrial mammals of the Americas and their interactions with plastic waste
(Springer, 2023)
Plastics have brought many benefits to society, but their mismanagement has turned them into a serious environmental problem. Today, the effects of plastic waste on wildlife are becoming increasingly evident. Since studies ...
From social networks to bird enthusiasts: reporting interactions between plastic waste and birds in Peru
(Cambridge University Press, 2023)
Peru has the second-highest diversity of birds in the world, but little is known about the interactions between birds and plastic waste. To fill this knowledge gap, we searched the scientific literature, collected information ...
Starch films for agronomic applications: comparative study of urea and glycerol as plasticizers
(Infogain Publication, 2018)
This work aims to study the effects of urea, glycerol and their mixture as plasticizers for cassava starch films, regarding their impact on the material structure, water susceptibility, barrier and mechanical properties. ...
Plasticity and genotype × environment interactions for locomotion in drosophila melanogaster larvae
(2012)
Locomotion is a primary means by which animals interact with the world. To understand the contribution of genotype × environment interactions to individual differences in D. melanogaster larval locomotion we investigated ...
Terrestrial ecologists should stop ignoring plastic pollution in the Anthropocene time
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
The massive production of plastic started in mid 20th century. Today, only 60 years later and despite its obvious benefits, plastic pollution is ubiquitous, influencing all global environments and the planet's biota, ...
Psychoanalysis and neurosciences: fuzzy outlines? Notes on the notion of cerebral plasticity
(Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, 2017-11)
“Psychoanalysis versus psychiatry” and “unconscious versus brain” are classic oppositions between different perspectives on the human being and mental suffering. This article draws on certain elements of this discussion ...
Experimental assessment of interaction costs of inducible defenses in plankton
(2011)
The expression of phenotypically plastic traits in prey organisms, triggered by changes in the abundance of their predators, is customarily assumed to involve costs in some fitness components such as fecundity, growth or ...
Intestinal, Body and Tail Plasticity in Rhinella schneideri (Bufonidae) Tadpoles Induced by a Predator Insect (Belostoma elegans)
(Hikari Ltd, 2009-04)
According to the adaptive plasticity hypothesis, predator-induced traits in potential prey animals are expected to have costs for those organisms in predatorfree environments. In this study, we analysed if the intestinal ...
Three dimensional elasto-plastic interface for embedded beam elements with interaction surface for the analysis of lateral loading of piles
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2017-04)
This paper presents a numerical formulation for a three dimensional elasto-plastic interface, which can be coupled with an embedded beam element in order to model its non-linear interaction with the surrounding solid medium. ...
