The global response of historic buildings is determined by the behaviour of the single structural elements as well as by their mutual connections. Consequently, in the last decades a number of technical solutions for the improvement of structural connections have been developed in response to the increasing demand in the field of the seismic protection of heritage assets. At the same time, the experimental asse...
Surface runoff and sediment production from different timber yarding practices, some using Best Management Practices (BMPs) recommended for Honduras, were monitored in experimental plots during the rainy seasons of two consecutive years in pine forest highlands of central Honduras. Different timber yarding systems were applied to pseudo-replicated plots during the rainy seasons of 1999 and 2000. In 1999, two tr...
We evaluated the changes of some soil microbiological characteristics due to the use of transgenic maize expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxin. A two-year field experiment was conducted (2003 and 2004). Two lines of transgenic Bt maize that express the Cry1Ab protein (event 176 and MON 810) and their near-isogenic non-Bt lines were used. Rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils were collected and measuremen...
The 24 New World species of Chrysomyini are revised. Keys are given to genera and species with illustrations of characters of diagnostic and systematic importance. All taxa are fully described (except for the species of Chrysomya and Cochliomyia), and reference is made to their biology where is known. There are 20 endemic species (1 Chloroprocta, 3 Paralucilia, 6 Hemilucilia, 4 Cochliomyia, 6 Compsomyops), and ...
