Gravitational collapse in non-minimally coupled gravity: finite density singularities and the breaking of the no-hair theorem

open access: yes, 2012
In this work we study the dynamics of gravitational collapse of a homogeneous dust sphere in a model exhibiting a linear non-minimal coupling between matter and curvature. The evolution of the scale factor and the matter density is obtained for different

Underground Lag: Fungal Community and Edaphic Legacies After Disturbance

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Páramos are neotropical mountain ecosystems that regulate water and store large amounts of carbon, but are increasingly degraded by agriculture and grazing. Although native vegetation often recolonizes after abandonment, belowground recovery remains poorly understood.

Probing the Flyby Anomaly with the future STE-QUEST mission

open access: yes, 2012
In this study, we demonstrate that the flyby anomaly, an unexpected acceleration detected in some of the gravitational assists of the Galileo, NEAR, Cassini and Rosetta spacecraft, could be probed by accurate orbital tracking available in the proposed ...

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

Using global positioning systems to test extensions of General Relativity

open access: yes, 2011
We consider the feasibility of using the Galileo Navigation Satellite System to constrain possible extensions or modifications to General Relativity, by assessing the impact of the related additions to the Newtonian potential and comparing with the ...

Thinking of Melastomataceae: Revisiting Humboldt and Bonpland's Monographie des Melastomacées (1806–1823) from a historical perspective

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract During their voyage to the Americas (1799–1804), Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland described and collected American flora, fauna, minerals and other objects. After returning to Europe, they published several works, including Monographie des Melastomacées, initiated by Bonpland to classify this complex botanical family.

Two-scalar-field model for the interaction of dark energy and dark matter

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper, we study the effects of an interaction between dark matter and dark energy through a two scalar field model with a potential $V(\phi,\chi)=e^{-\lambda\phi}P(\phi,\chi)$, where $P(\phi,\chi)$ is a polynomial.

Topological encounters in biodiversity conservation: Making and contesting maps in the Colombian high Andean páramos

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Páramos are one of the flagship ecosystems in the Northern Andes; the provision of water for millions of people in this region depends on these unique high mountains located at above 3,500 m of altitude.
