A Fractional-Order Model of Biopolyester Containing Naturally Occurring Compounds for Soil Stabilization by Nadka Tzankova Dintcheva, Marilena Baiamonte, Rosalia Teresi, Gioacchino Alotta, Emanuela Bologna, Massimiliano Zingales

“…As known, the use of sophisticated analytical tools to describe the material rheology and melting properties is nowadays very popular among physicists and material scientists. Certainly, several experimental tests conducted on polymeric- and biopolymeric-based materials, such as rubbers, foams, and hydro/aero gels, show that the relaxation time spectra are a continuous function, and as a consequence, multiple relaxation times are involved in the rheological description of the materials, yielding the need for nonconventional relaxation functions. …”

Inhabiting territories at risk: Spatial appropriations and symbolic disputes in two peripheral neighborhoods of Quito by Alfredo Santillán, Elisa Puga-Cevallos

“…This focus contributes to the debate on biases regarding risk management that, in practice, tend to abstract them from the space in which they are located and contributes to making explicit the divergences between the analyses of scientists, institutions, and populations. Through the observation of processes of domestication of space and the rationalities that underly them, the categorization of risk is debated as a mechanism for dealing with a context of economic dearth and absence of basic services. …”
