Tracing the metabolic rift in Colombia's greengrocer: an environmental history of the Anaime Valley [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
This paper stems from research to reconstruct an environmental history of agriculture in the Anaime Canyon Valley and better understand the environmental consequences of having transformed the area into “Colombia's greengrocer”.

A mission to test the Pioneer anomaly: estimating the main systematic effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We estimate the main systematic effects relevant in a mission to test and characterize the Pioneer anomaly through the flight formation concept, by launching probing spheres from a mother spacecraft and tracking their motion via laser ranging.Comment: 9 ...

Rizospheric Microbiota of Espeletia spp. from Santa Inés and Frontino-Urrao Paramos in Antioquia, Colombia

open access: yesActa Biológica Colombiana, 2015
The frailejón (Espeletia spp.) is the emblematic shrub of the paramo. This is an important ecosystem because they are sources of water and organic matter, and are inhabited by a high number of endemic biological species. Considering the importance of the

Cosmological implications of Bumblebee vector models

open access: yes, 2015
The Bumblebee Model of spontaneous Lorentz symmetry breaking is explored in a cosmological context, considering a single non-zero time component for the vector field.

Climate Change in the High Andes:implications and adaptation strategies for small-scale farmers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
: Global climate change represents a major threat to sustainable farming in the Andes. Farmers have used local ecological knowledge and intricate production systems to cope, adapt and reorganize to meet climate uncertainty and risk, which have always ...

Visible and Dark Matter Profiles in a Non-Minimally Coupled Model

open access: yes, 2017
A previous work found that a nonminimally coupled theory of gravity can, under appropriate conditions, give rise to an additional contribution to the field equations interpreted as dark matter [1]: in particular, the density of this dark matter component

Accelerated expansion from a non-minimal gravitational coupling to matter

open access: yes, 2010
It is shown that a non-minimal coupling between the scalar curvature and the matter Lagrangian density may account for the accelerated expansion of the Universe and provide, through mimicking, for a viable unification of dark energy and dark matter.

Inflation with a massive vector field nonminimally coupled to gravity

open access: yes, 2016
We study the possibility that inflation is driven by a massive vector field with SO(3) global symmetry nonminimally coupled to gravity. From an E^3-invariant Robertson-Walker metric we propose an Ansatz for the vector field, allowing us to study the ...
