Thermodynamic Formalism in Neuronal Dynamics and Spike Train Statistics
(MDPI, 2020)
The Thermodynamic Formalism provides a rigorous mathematical framework for studying quantitative and qualitative aspects of dynamical systems. At its core, there is a variational principle that corresponds, in its simplest ...
Whole-Brain Models to Explore Altered States of Consciousness from the Bottom Up
(MDPI, 2020)
The scope of human consciousness includes states departing from what most of us experience as ordinary wakefulness. These altered states of consciousness constitute a prime opportunity to study how global changes in brain ...
Vulnerability of a top marine predator to coastal storms: a relationship between hydrodynamic drivers and stranding rates of newborn pinnipeds
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Coastal storms have increased in recent decades, affecting many species, including the South American sea lion (Otaria byronia). Reports of stranded sea lion pups are becoming common in Chile, presumably due to the increase ...
Towards a multi-hazard analysis of infrastructure in a seismic coast subjected to climate change, with a focus on the Chilean coastline
(The University of Queensland, 2020)
The physics of some of the most relevant climatic and geophysical drivers affecting the Chilean coasts are reviewed. Some relevant figures about the country are introduced, and recent findings and research gaps on extreme ...
A Story of Four Eggs in Goto Island, Japan
(Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2020)
Evidence of climate-driven changes on atmospheric, hydrological, and oceanographic variables along the Chilean coastal zone
(Springer, 2020)
The Chilean coastal zone (CCZ) is subjected to a complex spectrum of anthropogenic, geophysical, biogeochemical, and climate-driven perturbations. Potentially affected variables including atmospheric sea level pressure ...
The 1730 Great Metropolitan Chile Earthquake and Tsunami Commemoration: Joint Efforts to Increase the Country’s Awareness
On 8 July 1730, a great earthquake struck metropolitan Chile, causing extensive damage 1000 km along the country and focused in Valparaíso. Due to the date of occurrence of this event, large uncertainties about the ...
Copper Price Prediction Using Support Vector Regression Technique
(MDPI, 2020)
Predicting copper price is essential for making decisions that can affect companies and governments dependent on the copper mining industry. Copper prices follow a time series that is nonlinear and non-stationary, and that ...
Evaluation of the Implementation of Li-Fi in the Communes of Santiago
(Springer Nature, 2020)
This work seeks to implement the functioning of a network communication system, this is done through visible light in the urban sectors of the metropolitan region. While it should be known that, Li-Fi (Light Fidelity) is ...
Experimental Framework to Simulate Rescue Operations after a Natural Disaster
(Universidad Nacional de La Plata: Facultad de Informática, 2020)
Computational simulation is a powerful tool for performance evaluation of computational systems. It is useful to make capacity planning of data center clusters, to obtain profiling reports of software applications and to ...
