The idea that the success rate of a team increases when playing home is broadly accepted and documented for a wide variety of sports. Investigations on the so-called "home advantage phenomenon" date back to the 70's and every since has attracted the …
We report on a diffusive analysis of the motion of flagellate protozoa species. These parasites are the etiological agents of neglected tropical diseases: leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania braziliensis, African sleeping …
Urban population scaling of resource use, creativity metrics, and human behaviors has been widely studied. These studies have not looked in detail at the full range of human environments which represent a continuum from the most rural to heavily …
We report on a large-scale characterization of river discharges by employing the network framework of the horizontal visibility graph. By mapping daily time series from 141 different stations of 53 Brazilian rivers into complex networks, we present …
We investigate a sorption process where one substance spreads out through another having possibility of chemical reaction between them. So as to describe this process, we have considered the bulk dynamics governed by a fractional diffusion equation, …
The electrical response of an electrolytic cell containing more than one group of ions is investigated under the fractional approach where integro – differential boundary conditions and fractional time derivative of distributed order are considered. …
More than a half of world population is now living in cities and this number is expected to be two-thirds by 2050. Fostered by the relevancy of a scientific characterization of cities and for the availability of an unprecedented amount of data, …
We investigate the solutions of a fractional diffusion equation subjected to boundary conditions which can be connected to adsorption – desorption processes. The analytical solutions were obtained by using the Green function approach and showed an …
The solutions for a dimensional system with radial symmetry and governed by a fractional diffusion equation have been investigated. More specifically, a spherical system was considered, being defined in the semi - infinity interval [R, ¥) and …
In this report, the temperature dependence of the refractive index and electric impedance of vegetable oil grape seeds extracted from Vitis vinifera (v. Cabernet) and Vitis labrusca (v. Bordo) are investigated by means of experimental techniques. The …
