Open AccessMorpho-structural criteria for the identification of spreading-induced deformation processes potentially compromising stratovolcano stability
Characterisation of surface deformation at stratovolcanoes is essential for a better understanding of the processes that can compromise edifice structural stability and potential for flank collapse. Spreading ...

Open AccessDosimetry with gafchromic films based on a new micro-opto-electro-mechanical system
This work presents the first tests performed with radiochromic films and a new Micro‒Opto‒Electro-Mechanical system (MOEMS) for in situ dosimetry evaluation in radiotherapy in real time. We present a new devic...

Open AccessContrasting catastrophic eruptions predicted by different intrusion and collapse scenarios
Catastrophic volcanic eruptions triggered by landslide collapses can jet upwards or blast sideways. Magma intrusion is related to both landslide-triggered eruptive scenarios (lateral or vertical), but it is no...

Suspended cultivation of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
The Pacific or Japanese oyster, Crassostrea gigas, was introduced into Ecuador in 1990; however, little is known about its cultivation in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. This study analyzes growth and the influence...

Growth and survival of the winged oyster Pteria colymbus in suspended culture: influence of environmental factors associated to upwelling periods
The present study examines the influence that environmental variables exerted on changes in condition index (CI), shell height (SH—dorsal-ventral axis) and soft tissue mass increments (STM) of the winged oyster P...

Craters of elevation revisited: forced-folds, bulging and uplift of volcanoes
The eighteenth/nineteenth century ‘craters of elevation’ theory required magma to uplift strata, doming the surface and creating a central down-fallen ‘crater’ or graben. Exponents of craters of elevation atte...

Equine Pythiosis: Report in Crossed Bred (Criole Venezuelan) Horses
Pythium insidiosum is a pathogenic oomycete known since 1890 that causes pythiosis in mammals. In this report, seven P. insidiosum isolates were recovered from Venezuelan horses and were characte...

STAT3 locus in inflammatory bowel disease and multiple sclerosis susceptibility
STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) signaling is a critical component of Th17-dependent autoimmune processes. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed the role of the STAT3 gene...

Effect of BSN-MST1 locus on inflammatory bowel disease and multiple sclerosis susceptibility
Genome-wide studies highlighted the effect in Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) susceptibility of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 3p21, where BSN (bassoon), MST1 (macrophage stimulating-1...

A hybrid method for solving multi-objective global optimization problems
Real optimization problems often involve not one, but multiple objectives, usually in conflict. In single-objective optimization there exists a global optimum, while in the multi-objective case no optimal solu...

Triangle-Free Planar Graphs as Segments Intersection Graphs
We prove that every triangle-free planar graph is the graph of intersection of a set of segments in the plane. Moreover, the segments can be chosen in only three directions (horizontal, vertical and oblique) a...

Ion-Gas Interaction in a Vacuum Arc At Intermediate Pressures
Measurements of the ion flux as a function of the pressure in a plasma arc are presented. We report data on Ti and Pt cathodes using N2 and Ar as the filling gases. Values of an effective collision cross section ...

Embedding a graph in the grid of a surface with the minimum number of bends is NP-hard
This paper is devoted to the study of graph embeddings in the grid of non-planar surfaces. We provide an adequate model for those embeddings and we study the complexity of minimizing the number of bends. In pa...

On a visibility representation of graphs
We give a visibility representation of graphs which extends some very well-known representations considered extensively in the literature. Concretely, the vertices are represented by a collection of parallel h...

Glycogenosomes in fibres of human normal skeletal muscles
Analysis of muscle biopsies from five patients, with no clinical evidence of neuromuscular disorders, showed the presence of membrane-bound structures containing glycogen (glycogenosomes). Occurrence of these ...
