Fishing Technique of Long-Fingered Bats Was Developed from a Primary Reaction to Disappearing Target Stimuli
(Public Library Science, 2016-12-14)
Behavioral plasticity is a key feature allowing animals to broaden their dietary niche when novel food resources become available, and long-fingered bats provide an appropriate model system to study the underpinnings of ...
Privatization and environmental policy in a mixed oligopoly
(Universidad de Chile. Departamento de Economía, 2019-12)
This paper analyzes the interaction between two political economy decisions by a government: whether to privatize a public firm and what environmental policy to choose (an environmental tax or an emission standard). We ...
Presentation: The Citizen-Victim. Notes for Initiating a Debate
(Universidad de los Andes. Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, 2017-01)
Physics research on the TCV tokamak facility: from conventional to alternative scenarios and beyond
(IOP Science, 2019-08-30)
The research program of the TCV tokamak ranges from conventional to advanced-tokamak scenarios and alternative divertor configurations, to exploratory plasmas driven by theoretical insight, exploiting the device's unique ...
Unveiling the Hidden Bat Diversity of a Neotropical Montane Forest
(Public Library Science, 2016-10-05)
Mountain environments, characterized by high levels of endemism, are at risk of experiencing significant biodiversity loss due to current trends in global warming. While many acknowledge their importance and vulnerability, ...
Identification of Novel Betaherpesviruses in Iberian Bats Reveals Parallel Evolution
(Public Library Science, 2016-12-30)
A thorough search for bat herpesviruses was carried out in oropharyngeal samples taken from most of the bat species present in the Iberian Peninsula from the Vespertilionidae, Miniopteridae, Molossidae and Rhinolophidae ...

The Convention on Biological Diversity Aichi Target 11 requires its 193 signatory parties to incorporate social equity into protected area (PA) management by 2020. However, there is limited evidence of progress toward this ...
Control Strategies Applied to Wave Energy Converters: State of the Art
(MDPI, 2019-08-02)
Wave energy's path towards commercialization requires maximizing reliability, survivability, an improvement in energy harvested from the wave and efficiency of the wave to wire conversion. In this sense, control strategies ...
Supervision of the Infection in an SI (SI-RC) Epidemic Model by Using a Test Loss Function to Update the Vaccination and Treatment Controls
(MDPI, 2020-10-15)
This paper studies and proposes some supervisory techniques to update the vaccination and control gains through time in a modified SI (susceptible-infectious) epidemic model involving the susceptible and subpopulations. ...
Energy Conservation in an Office Building Using an Enhanced Blind System Control
(MDPI, 2017-02)
The two spaces office module is usually considered as a representative case-study to analyse the energetic improvement in office buildings. In this kind of buildings, the use of a model predictive control (MPC) scheme for ...
