Mechatronics and Robotics (MaR) have recently gained importance in product development manufacturing settings applications. Therefore, the Center for Space Emerging Technologies (C-SET) has managed an international multi-disciplinary study to present, historically, first Latin American general review of industrial, collaborative, mobile robotics, with support North European researchers institutions. The methodology is developed by considering literature extracted from Scopus, Web Science,...

The use of isotopic analysis for human mobility, geolocation, and forensic identification has become common over the past two decades, yet its effectiveness depends on availability well-documented reference data. Many data exist in literature, but suitability these applications not been critically assessed. Here, we compile oxygen strontium isotope North American tissues (hair, nails, bone, tooth enamel). We review geographic distribution data, evaluate their relationship with predicted...

Abstract Understanding long-term dynamics of past socio-ecological systems is essential for their future management. The southern Atlantic Forest coast Brazil with its biodiverse littoral zone and artisanal fishing communities, a priority conservation. Traditional maritime knowledge thought to have deep-history indeed, marine exploitation can be traced back the middle Holocene. As part one South America’s largest diasporas, Guarani groups reached Brazilian at around 1000 years ago. Their...

During the Late Holocene, hunter-gatherer interaction networks significantly grew in intensity and extension across Patagonia. Although this growth is evidenced by increased flow of exotic items region, mechanisms behind these strengthening social remain unclear. Since evidence suggests that some individuals might have performed long-distance trips, article aims to address potential relationship between flows North We analyzed 54 enamel teeth for strontium isotopes reconstructed their...

Ceramic technology makes an abrupt appearance in the New World Arctic at circa 2800 cal BP. While there is general consensus that ultimate source of these Alaskan pottery traditions lay continental NE Asia, motivations for adoption Alaska have remained unclear. Through organic residue analysis we investigated function Norton Southwest Alaska, and extent to which its changed later periods under increasing northern influence Thule culture region (from ca. 1000 BP). Our results show clear...

The forensic application of stable oxygen isotope data from human tissues depends on naturally occurring isotopic variation in drinking water across geographic areas. One factor which complicates interpretation is local variability: if a wide range values small region it may be difficult to identify or rule out that as location origin. We examine community collection programs documenting tap within 30 cities\developed areas throughout the United States. Isotopic individual developed ranged...

In this paper we present the first results for analysis of human remains recovered at Negro Muerto 2 (NM2) site, located in south sector river's middle basin (Río Province).During rescue activities done four individuals had been recovered: 1 and were part a double burial (the latter suffered disarticulation level skull, which was relocated next to one); while 3 4 probably simple burials, although their high degree would not allow us confirm this.Three radiocarbon dates obtained site between...

Abstract Nowadays, wildlife is one of the most important sources zoonoses, and it a major concern for public health. Nevertheless, little known about role as reservoir source infectious diseases in past. South America presents wide diversity wildlife. In south continent, Argentina shelters large neotropical carnivores. Although paleoparasitological studies on carnivores have been increasing southern Argentina, efforts focused handful sites located western Patagonia. this paper, two...
