Work-related extended availability (WREA) describes a state of being available for work matters while physically being in a different life domain. There is ample evidence for the negative effects of WREA, but moderator e...

This e-book is part of the project Nutrition and Well-being Fact-checking for Higher Education" (NUTRIWELLB), funded by the Erasmus + Programme of the European Commission, from December 2022 to November 2024 (funding num...

Water availability is one of the main limiting factors that control ecosystem functions and productivity in semiarid regions. Vegetation of these regions usually presents a patchy distribution where sparse plant cover is...

First, it is essential to recognize that new technologies are not a magic bullet on their own. While they offer great opportunities, they also pose ethical challenges that must be addressed responsibly. Privacy, confiden...

Currently, the subject areas of carbon and graphite materials, their manufacture, properties and applications need to be described, comprehensively, in book format, at an up-to-date and introductory level. This book intr...

Two cultivars of Brachiaria brizantha (Hochst ex. A. Rich) Stapf. (Syn. Urochloa) were evaluated for their adaptation to water deficit and the stress response mechanisms in a greenhouse experiment. The experimental desig...

BackgroundDiet-related noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are increasing rapidly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and constitute a leading cause of mortality. Although a call for global action has been resonating...

Natural hybridization commonly produces individuals with intermediate morphological and genetic characteristics, but their response to environmental stress is still uncertain, with some studies showing that transgressive...

Increased levels of α-synuclein (α-syn) and iron-overload are pathognomonic signs of dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Moreover, iron and fatty acid (FA) availability are predisposing factors...

La diversidad de especies de insectos herbívoros asociados con el dosel puede variar geográficamente y responder a distintos factores a diferentes escalas espaciales. El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar cómo la...

Este trabajo se basa en el análisis los cambios de uso del suelo en el período 2003-2011 en un barrio de 79,62 ha ubicado al S interserrano de la ciudad de Tandil, y su vinculación con la calidad y disponibilidad de a...

SUMMARY: Limitations of genome sequencing techniques have led to dozens of assembly algorithms, none of which is perfect. A number of methods for comparing assemblers have been developed, but none is yet a recognized ben...

MOTIVATION: Next-generation sequencing technologies generate millions of short sequence reads, which are usually aligned to a reference genome. In many applications, the key information required for downstream analysis i...

BACKGROUND: the analysis of microbial communities through dna sequencing brings many challenges: the integration of different types of data with methods from ecology, genetics, phylogenetics, multivariate statistics, vis...
