O COMÉRCIO DE VALOR ADICIONADO E A PARTICIPAÇÃO DO BRASIL NAS CADEIAS GLOBAIS DE VALOR/The value-added trade and the participation of Brazil in global value chains by Carlos Alberto Gonçalves Junior, Cassia Girotto, Ricardo Luis Lopes, Umberto Antonio Sesso Filho

“…On the other hand, Products exported by Brazil to Argentina, Mexico, and the Andean region, have a lower proportion of DVA in relation to the total value of exports, however, they are high and medium technology products that use more elaborate processes in their production and make room for insertion of imported content, which corroborates for the greater insertion of Brazil in the GVCs. …”

Vegetation structure and aboveground biomass of Páramo peatlands along a high-elevation gradient in the northern Ecuadorian Andes by Esteban Suárez, Esteban Suárez, John A. Hribljan, Segundo Chimbolema, Segundo Chimbolema, Katie Harvey, Victoria Triana, Juan E. Zurita, Ricardo Jaramillo, Ricardo Jaramillo, Lenka G. Doskocil, Lenka G. Doskocil

“…In terms of aboveground biomass, we found an 8-fold reduction in the higher peatlands compared to the lower sites, suggesting that the steep elevational gradients characteristic of Andean environments might be crucial in structuring the physiognomy and composition of peatland vegetation, either through its effects on temperature and other environmental factors, or through its effects on the age and development of soils. …”

Mathematical modeling of a binary ORC operated with solar collectors. Case study—Ecuador by Daniel Chuquin-Vasco, Cristina Calderón-Tapia, Nelson Chuquin-Vasco, María Núñez-Moreno, Diana Aguirre-Ruiz, Vanesa G. Lo-Iacono-Ferreira

“…After conducting all the respective analyses in the thermal module, while considering the yearly average meteorological data of ten years (2012–2022), it was determined that due to its meteorological conditions, ambient temperature (14.7 ℃) and solar beam radiation (184.5 W/m²), the efficiency of the collectors in the Andean region of Ecuador is higher. This efficiency is further enhanced by using Therminol VP-1 as the thermal fluid, as it possesses better thermodynamic properties than the other fluids analyzed. …”

Internal structure and water routing of an ice-debris landform assemblage using multiple geophysical methods in the semiarid Andes by Gonzalo Navarro, Gonzalo Navarro, Rémi Valois, Shelley MacDonell, Shelley MacDonell, Giulia de Pasquale, Juan Pablo Díaz

“…However, processes governing these roles are still poorly known especially for glacier complex units, i.e., where there is a juxtaposition or continuity of different (peri) glacial landforms, which are common in semiarid Andean and Himalayan areas. This study aims to understand how the internal structure of an ice-debris landform assemblage controls hydrological routing. …”

Skull Morphology, Bite Force, and Diet in Insectivorous Bats from Tropical Dry Forests in Colombia by Leidy Azucena Ramírez-Fráncel, Leidy Viviana García-Herrera, Sergio Losada-Prado, Gladys Reinoso-Flórez, Burton K. Lim, Francisco Sánchez, Alfonso Sánchez-Hernández, Giovany Guevara

“…We tested if bite force is related to skull morphology and also to diet in an assemblage of Neotropical insectivorous bats from tropical dry forests in the inter-Andean central valley in Colombia. It is predicted that the preference of prey types among insectivorous species is based on bite force and cranial characteristics. …”
