Comparative Invasion Ecology of Carpobrotus From Four Continents: Responses to Nutrients and Competition
(Oxford Academic, 2023-01-24)[Abstract] Two key hypotheses in invasion biology are that certain traits underlie invasiveness in introduced species, and that these traits are selected for during or after introduction. We tested these hypotheses by ... -
Comparative Metagenomic Analysis of Two Hot Springs From Ourense (Northwestern Spain) and Others Worldwide
(Frontiers, 2021-11-26)[Abstract] With their circumneutral pH and their moderate temperature (66 and 68°C, respectively), As Burgas and Muiño da Veiga are two important human-use hot springs, previously studied with traditional culture methods, ... -
Comparative Phylogeography of a Restricted and a Widespread Heather: Genetic Evidence of Multiple Independent Introductions of Erica Mackayana Into Ireland From Northern Spain
(The Linnean Society of London, 2023-01-20)[Abstract] Species of flora and fauna occurring in the west of Ireland and south-west Europe, known as Lusitanian elements, constitute a puzzling case of isolated populations of uncertain origin. Here we studied the ... -
Comparative study of imputation algorithms applied to the prediction of student performance
(Oxford University Press, 2019-12-27)[Abstract]: Student performance and its evaluation remain a serious challenge for education systems. Frequently, the recording and processing of students’ scores in a specific curriculum have several f laws for various ... -
Comparative study of the geometric incompatibilities in the dinamica of expandable structures
(International Association of Space Structures, 2000-06-04)Expandable meshes are structures built by bars articulated at the extremes and with a passing articulation at the central knot. The calculation of these structures presents numerous difficulties, but ... -
Comparative Study of Toxicological Effect of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in Human Nerve Cells
(2018)[Abstract] Due to their unique physicochemical properties, iron oxide nanoparticles (ION) have great potential for several biomedical applications, particularly those focused on nervous system. ION surface can be coated ... -
Comparative Study on Effects of Two Different Types of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles on Human Neuronal Cells
(Elsevier, 2013-04-15)[Abstract] Titanium dioxide (TiO2) are among most frequently used nanoparticles (NPs). They are present in a variety of consumer products, including food industry in which they are employed as an additive. The potential ... -
Comparative Study on Speaking Assessment Rubrics in Trinity and Cambridge Language Certificates: Adaptation to the Common European Framework Guidelines
(Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania, 2022-12-23)[Abstract] The European Council has been instrumental in the standardization of language competence levels and certifications with the guidelines provided in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages ... -
Compared decline of residual kidney function in patients treated with automated peritoneal dialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis: a multicenter study
(Karger, 2015-01-08)[Abstract] BACKGROUND: There is controversy concerning the compared rates of decline of residual kidney function (RKF) in patients treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and automated peritoneal ... -
Comparing community detection algorithms in graphs
(2022)[Abstract] The detection of communities in graphs has been a very discussed topic in recent years due to the raise of social networks. This topic is not a simple one, and as such, many different solutions have been ... -
Comparing conditional survival functions with missing population marks in a competing risks model
(Elsevier, 2016-11-25)[Abstract] In studies involving nonparametric testing of the equality of two or more survival distributions, the survival curves can exhibit a wide variety of behaviors such as proportional hazards, early/late differences, ... -
Comparing Multifractal Characteristics of Soil Particle Size Distributions Calculated by Mie and Fraunhofer Models From Laser Diffraction Measurements
(Elsevier, 2021-01-22)[Abstract] Particle size distribution (PSD) is a basic soil property, closely related to main soil physical and chemical attributes. Soil PSD determined by laser diffraction (LD) may provide additional information to soil ... -
Comparing surface digitization techniques in palaeontology using visual perceptual metrics and distance computations between 3D meshes
(Wiley, 2021-01-17)[Abstract] The use of surface digitization techniques and methods in palaeontology has increased in the last two decades, mainly due to recent improvements in devices and software. However, many digitization efforts are ... -
