Package W2CWM2C: description, features and applications
(IEEE, 2014-11-01)
This article describes new graphical tools that help with the interpretation of wavelet correlation and cross-correlation analysis, in both bivariate and multivariate cases. We have created an R package called W2CWM2C with ...
Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) in the face of external biophysical stressors
(Elsevier, 2014-11-24)
Economic instruments such as Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes are increasingly promoted to protect ecosystems (and their associated ecosystem services) that are threatened by processes of local and global ...
Psychosocial Adjustment Of Spanish Emigrants And Non- Emigrants
(Elsevier, 2014-06-02)
[EN]The aim of this study was to verify whether psychological adjustment, social support and mental health are better among Spanish non-emigrants than Spanish who immigrate to other parts of Europe, and to analyse the ...
Solving math and science problems in the real world with a computational mind

Plant Responses to Extreme Climatic Events: A Field Test of Resilience Capacity at the Southern Range Edge.
(Public Library Science, 2014-01-28)
The expected and already observed increment in frequency of extreme climatic events may result in severe vegetation shifts. However, stabilizing mechanisms promoting community resilience can buffer the lasting impact of ...
The prediction of bending strengths in SFRSCC using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
(Elsevier, 2014)
This research establishes a correlation between the predicted fiber orientation in Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) and the flexural behavior of the composite material. It is well known that the proper alignment of ...
The dual integrated force method applied to unidirectional composites
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014-04-07)
This paper shows the use of the dual integrated force method (IFMD) in finite elements method and its application to composite materials. This method was developed by S.N. Patnaik in isotropic materials, considering not ...
Mortar-based systems for externally bonded strengthening of masonry
(Springer, 2014-06-12)
[EN]Mortar-based composite materials appear particularly promising for use as externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) systems for masonry structures. Nevertheless, their mechanical performance, which may significantly differ ...
Textile-reinforced mortar as strengthening material for masonry arches
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-09-03)
[EN] Masonry arches are an important part of built heritage that must be preserved. Research and advanced studies of historical masonry structures have progressed slowly in comparison to studies on structures made of other ...
