This book shows the matter and energy balance application in biological and biotechnological systems, including multimedia tools to improve the understanding. The content is structured in three chapters: First chapter pr...

Monitored natural recovery (MNR) is an in situ technique of conventional remediation for the treatment of contaminated sediments that relies on natural processes to reduce the bioavailability or toxicity of contaminants....

This paper presents a sequence of steps oriented to gain biological knowledge from microar-ray gene expression data. The pipeline's core is a canonical multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA), which takes a gene expressio...

Medicinal plants have long been used in the treatment of various diseases and diseases of the digestive system, in particular. They contain almost all biologically active substances, which gives them an advantage over sy...

Nanophotonic device building blocks, such as optical nano/microcavities and plasmonic nanostructures, lie at the forefront of sensing and spectrometry of trace biological and chemical substances. A new class of nanophoto...

Structural health monitoring (SHM) has become a central tool for managing civil infrastructure. In modern SHM, the physical structure and the SHM system together form a coupled cyber-physical system. Due to the networked...

ABSTRACT Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) thrives in subtropical and tropical areas but is vulnerable to winter cold stress. The myeloblastosis (MYB) transcription factor family plays an important role in plant biolo...

Proteins are fundamental biological macromolecules responsible for a wide range of cellular functions. Traditionally, a central paradigm linked the amino acid sequence to a unique, ordered three-dimensional structure tha...

Fenestrations in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) are transcellular nanopores of 50–350 nm diameter that facilitate bidirectional transport of solutes and macromolecules between the bloodstream and the parenc...

Aerobic granular sludge(AGS), characterized by high biological retention capacity and environmental stress resistance, has emerged as a frontier technology for dyeing wastewater treatment. However, the impact of cellulos...

Throughout central Argentina the distribution of puma (Puma concolor) has substantially contracted and appears to be restricted to relatively pristine areas. We identified factors affecting puma habitat use at a landscap...

Stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED) holds great potential in biological science applications, especially in studying nanoscale subcellular structures. However, multi-color STED imaging in live-cell remains ch...

Substituted 1,3,4-thiadiazol are well know to have biological activity agent, and to have important uses in the medical, agriculture and industrial application, Several compounds of this group were synthesized from couma...

Celiac Disease (CeD) is a highly prevalent chronic immune-mediated enteropathy developed in genetically predisposed individuals after ingestion of a group of wheat proteins (called gliadins and glutenins). The 13mer α-g...

In Gram-positive bacteria, such as lactic acid bacteria, general glycosylation systems have not been documented so far. The aim of this work was to characterize in detail the glycosylation of the S-layer protein of Lacto...

Macromolecular crystallography provides mechanistic understanding of biological processes and can be applied in drug design. Nowadays, the use of robotic systems for crystal growth and diffraction analysis is widespread ...

Background The field of extracellular vesicles (EVs) has advanced considerably in recent years with new findings stemming from technical improvements in their isolation and characterization, expanding their potential as ...

The intrinsically disordered periodic architecture inherent in natural biomaterials exhibits significant potential for serving as resonant cavities, enabling the development of eco-friendly, biocompatible, and cost-effec...

In the contemporary scientific landscape, the demand for sustainable and nontoxic synthesis of metallic nanoparticles has grown significantly, with biological or green synthesis approaches being preferred over convention...

Proteomics is the large scale study of protein structure and function from biological systems through protein identification and quantification. “Shotgun proteomics” or “bottom-up proteomics” is the prevailing st...

Relevance and aim. Korean pine-broadleaf forests of the southern Sikhote-Alin are unique forest ecosystems with high biological value and complex structure. Under ongoing forest exploitation and degradation of old-growth...

IntroductionLiver diseases continue to impose a major global health burden, and therapeutic progress is constrained by the limited availability of validated small-molecule modulators. TEAD4, a central Hippo-YAP effector,...

The metasurface refractive index sensor has a high degree of tunability and flexibility, providing excellent performance for high precision refractive index sensing applications. The metasurface absorber with metallic st...
