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 ...
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 ...
Usos de ἔτι como adverbio de foco aditivo en las declamaciones etopoéticas de Libanio
(Universidad del País Vasco, Servicio Editorial / Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea, Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2016)
[ES] La función principal de ἔτι es la de adverbio de tiempo, en particular adverbio de fase. Sin embargo puede tener también un valor como adverbio de foco aditivo, indicando que el término focalizado se añade a un conjunto ...
Tip-Clearance Measurement in the First Stage of the Compressor of an Aircraft Engine
(MDPI, 2016-11-11)
In this article, we report the design of a reflective intensity-modulated optical fiber sensor for blade tip-clearance measurement, and the experimental results for the first stage of a compressor of an aircraft engine ...
On the temperature dependence of the rate coefficient of formation of C2+ from C + CH+
(2016-06-24)
[EN] We carry out quasi-classical trajectory caculations for theC + CH+ → C2+ + H reaction on an ad hoc computed high-level ab initio potential energy surface. Thermal rate coefficients at the temperatures of relevance in ...
El misterioso encanto de las víctimas
(Universidad de los Andes. Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, 2016-04)
Biomass Pyrolysis Solids as Reducing Agents: Comparison with Commercial Reducing Agents
(MDPI, 2016-01)
Biomass is one of the most suitable options to be used as renewable energy source due to its extensive availability and its contribution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass under ...
Optimization of the Heating System Use in Aged Public Buildings via Model Predictive Control
(MDPI, 2016-03)
This work presents the implementation of a Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme used to study the improvement of the thermal quality in aged residential buildings without any rehabilitation. The controller manages the ...
Influence of Upconversion Processes in the Optically-Induced Inhomogeneous Thermal Behavior of Erbium-Doped Lanthanum Oxysulfide Powders
(MDPI, 2016-05-11)
The efficient infrared-to-visible upconversion emission present in Er-doped lanthanum oxysulfide crystal powders is used as a fine thermal sensor to determine the influence of upconversion processes on the laser-induced ...
