Gabriela Mistral

Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, 1946
When, on November sixteenth last, the newspapers announced the awarding of the Nobel Prize for literature to a Chilean poetess, Gabriela Mistral, the news came as a surprise to many Americans, who, although they considered themselves well read, had never heard her name. The fundamental reason we know so little of this remarkable woman

Blowin' in the Wind: Mapping the Dispersion of Metal(loid)s From Atacama Mining. [PDF]

Geohealth
Abstract The Atacama Desert’s naturally elevated metal(loid)s pose a unique challenge for assessing the environmental impact of mining, particularly for indigenous communities residing in these areas. This study investigates how copper mining influences the dispersion of these elements in the wind‐transportable fraction (<75 μm) of surface sediments ...

Reassessment of generic boundaries in Neotropical Chrysophylloideae (Sapotaceae): Eleven reinstated genera and narrowed circumscriptions of Chrysophyllum and Pouteria

TAXON, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 307-359, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Classifications of the pantropical plant family Sapotaceae based solely on morphology have historically recognized between 125 and 53 genera. Phylogenetic analyses using molecular data have repeatedly demonstrated that broad concepts of two large genera belonging to subfamily Chrysophylloideae, Chrysophyllum and Pouteria, are untenable and ...

Relative effects of climate and litter traits on decomposition change with time, climate and trait variability

Journal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 1, Page 447-458, January 2021., 2021
The relative effects of litter traits and climate on decomposition depend on the ranges in climate and litter traits considered and change with time. Our study emphasizes the critical role of representative ranges in climate and functional trait values for understanding the drivers of litter decomposition and for improving predictions of climate‐change

Flow Enhancement of Mineral Pastes to Increase Water Recovery in Tailings: A Matlab‐Based Imaging Processing Tool

Scientific Programming, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
The rate of growth of mining copper industry in Chile requires higher consumption of water, which is a resource limited in quality and quantity and a major point of concern in present times. In addition, the efficient use of water is restricted due to high levels of evaporation (10 to 15 (l/m2) per day), in particular at the north highland mining sites

Matched Asymptotic Expansions to the Circular Sitnikov Problem with Long Period

Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The circular Sitnikov problem is revisited, using matched asymptotic expansions. In the case of large oscillation periods, approximate analytical expressions for the period and the orbit of the third body are found. The results are compared with those described in the literature and show that the movement of the third body can be well described by two ...

Increases and decreases in soil moisture in water‐limited plant communities cause asymmetrical responses in biomass but not in diversity

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 35, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Our results showed direction and magnitude of climate change but also the response factor that is studied matters to detect direction‐dependent responses; i.e., species richness had a linear and reversible response. However, the response of biomass depended on the origin of the transplanted material (soil and plant community), indicating history ...

Structural Characterization of the Taltal Segment in Northern Chile Between 22°S and 26°S Using Local Earthquake Tomography

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Recordings of earthquakes by a temporary deployment of 84 short period seismometers in northern Chile were used to derive regional 3D seismic velocity models for the Taltal segment. We used the Regressive ESTimator (REST) package for event detection and automatic onset estimation of P‐ and S‐wave arrival times to create an earthquake catalog ...
