The spraying of coca (Erythroxylum coca) with glyphosate in Colombia has raised concerns about possible impacts on amphibians. There are few toxicity data for species other than those from temperate regions, and these have not been generated with the combination of formulated glyphosate (Glyphos) and the adjuvant, Cosmo-Flux (coca mix) as used in coca control in Colombia. In order to characteri...

High-level ab initio molecular orbital theory calculations have been used to calculate the rate coefficients and Arrhenius parameters for dimer models of the propagation steps for the free-radical homopolymerization of methyl acrylate and vinyl acetate at 298.15 K. Gas-phase Arrhenius parameters, as calculated under the hindered rotormodel, showed large deviations from the corresponding solutio...

This paper presents COSMO, a Bayesian computational model, which is expressive enough to carry out syllable production, perception and imitation tasks using motor, auditory or perceptuo-motor information. An imitation algorithm enables to learn the articulatory-to-acoustic mapping and the link between syllables and corresponding articulatory gestures, from acoustic inputs only: synthetic CV syl...

New COSMO-RS-trained fragment contribution models provided quantum chemically based predictions for a range of chlorinated paraffin congener groups and mixtures regarding partition properties their temperature dependence.

Lifelike animated agents for knowledge based learning en vironments can provide timely customized advice to support leaners problem solving activities By drawing on a rich repertoire of emotive behaviors to exhibit contextually appropriate facial expressions and emo tive gestures these agents could exploit the visual channel to more ef fectively communicate with learners To address these issues...

Preevent and event landslide deformations have been detected and measured for the landslide that occurred on 3 December 2013 on the south-western slope of the Montescaglioso village (Basilicata Region, southern Italy). In this paper, ground displacements have been mapped through an integrated analysis based on a series of high resolution SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images acquired by the Ita...
