Abstract Tropical dry forests are the most threatened forest type in world yet a paucity of research about them stymies development appropriate conservation actions. The Paranã River Basin has significant formations Cerrado biome central Brazil and is by intense land conversion to pastures agriculture. We examined changes deforestation rates fragmentation across three time intervals that covered 31 yr using Landsat imagery. Our results indicated 66.3 percent decrease extent between 1977...
The evolution of sociality in many communally breeding birds has been ascribed to a lack optimum habitat, that is, insufficient high quality resources allow dispersal and independent young. In these species, offspring do not disperse immediately, but instead remain as helpers their natal territory until opportunity occurs. We examined the habitat saturation model for South American Guira Cuckoo. This species breeds large groups composed both related unrelated individuals. Nestlings also...
This paper adds to the ongoing debate on effects of public funding programmes business innovation. policy instrument, based upon a simple but robust rationale, has been applied in an almost homogeneous manner different contexts, evidence from such experiences is far shown effects. The main contribution this that it shows limitations faced by instruments affecting traditionally low innovative pattern. Using panel data techniques, we find heterogeneous innovation behaviour Uruguayan firms...
We develop a balance-of-payments-constrained growth (BPCG) model to explain the specific conditions of small commodity-dependent countries. Based on Thirlwall’s and subsequent contributions, we elaborate new that assumes exogenous export prices, infinite price elasticity demand, supply commodities react prices with positive, but not infinite, elasticity. contribute explaining central role relevance competitiveness in dynamics. It is shown real devaluation an improvement terms trade (TT)...
Purpose This paper aims to focus on the human side of inbound open innovation by analyzing effects that adoption different knowledge search strategies for has new recruitment needs. Design/methodology/approach Building several theoretical perspectives, study proposes three hypotheses regarding relationship between openness and need recruit people with high technical social skills. Using a pooled panel data from Uruguayan Innovation Survey 2004 2012, authors identify followed firm. Findings...
Abstract This paper contributes to the literature on innovation and development by analysing absorptive connectivity capacities of Latin American systems between 1970 2017. Applying network analysis a USPTO database containing inventors, we build analyse collaboration networks in process invention knowledge appropriation. The structural properties evolution such allow us measure critical attributes systems. Specifically, exhibit low capacity high external openness, which are linkages with...
Abstract The structural and topographic evolution of orogenic plateaus is an important research topic because its impact on atmospheric circulation patterns, the amount distribution rainfall, resulting changes in surface processes. Puna region north‐western Argentina (between 13°S 27°S) part Andean Plateau, which world's second largest plateau. In order to investigate deformational events responsible for initial growth this plateau, we carried out stratigraphic investigations within...
Brokers play a critical role in the evolution of innovation systems by accessing and diffusing external knowledge. However, while brokers' activity allows benefits for entire system, it entails costs those who broker role. Using patent data to analyse inter-city networks Latin America, we identify cities estimate effects brokerage on patenting outcomes between 2006 2017. Our findings reveal that holding central position network show higher activity; however, being broker, particularly...
Abstract Variation in body size represents one of the crucial raw materials for evolution. However, at present, it is still being debated what main factor affecting or if final consequence several factors acting synergistically. To evaluate this, widespread species seem to be suitable models because different populations occur along a geographical gradient and under contrasted climatic environmental conditions. Here we describe spatial pattern variation sexual dimorphism snouted treefrog...
This paper analyzes international collaboration networks associated with invention and patenting in Latin America between 1970 2017. We use data from US patent records retrieved the Patents View platform. select patents actors located American countries create where nodes are links represent among inventors owners different countries. apply various social network analysis methods. First, we calculate whole-network indicators aim of comparing interaction dynamics on a regional scale...
Purpose Diversity of people, knowledge and resources has been identified as a determinant firms' growth. This paper focusses on innovation propensity critical dimension firm's growth path, aiming to analyse the effects horizontal educational diversity (HED) conduct different technological activities (TIAs). In addition, considering evidence showing that these are neither direct nor linear, authors moderating role organizational practices oriented sharing (KS) association between HED adoption...
ABSTRACT. A Family with hereditary deficiency of the second component complement was studied. Three siblings were homozygous for C2 and two them had associated skin diseases. Ono sister presented idiopathic atrophoderma other clinical pathological manifestations discoid lupus erythematosus. This is first description an association between deficient state.
ABSTRACT The Brazilian biotechnology health innovation regime can be understood as a phenomenon that results from the co-evolution of scientific, economic, and political factors. In order to analyze this process, article presents empirical evidence regarding relationship between public policy rationale devoted promoting activities development in Brazil. Focusing on 2002–2010 period, analyzes different roles played by biotechnology. is based analysis two main dimensions: national research...
Nas últimas décadas, em praticamente todo o mundo se geraram grandes expectativas relação aos possíveis desenvolvimentos biotecnologia. O Brasil não ficou por fora de esse processo e tem implementado sistematicamente políticas para desenvolvimento da Entre os aspectos mais relevantes dessas encontra-se a promoção novas empresas crescimento do setor empresarial dedicado à biotecnologia.Este trabalho apresenta um esforço “montar quebra-cabeça” indústria brasileira Para isso consideram-se...
