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...

We have used density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent (TD)-DFT to systematically investigate the dependency of the geometric and vibroelectronic properties of zigzag and armchair-type doublewalled boron nitride...

The hydrophobic polymer ethylcellulose (EC) has been used to structure vegetable oils and as a stabilizer of oil/water (o/w) emulsions, among other non food uses. In this work we show that EC dissolved in medium chain tr...

La disfonía espasmódica es un desorden vocal severo caracterizado por una interrupción involuntaria de la fonación, denominada también distonía focal laríngea. Este trabajo da a conocer resultados de la aplicació...

Zirconia (ZrO2) is of great importance as a support for systems where high ionic conductivity and mechanical stability are required. Doping/defects have a significant effect on the physical properties of this oxide by st...

Δ78Δ is a second generation functional all-β sheet variant of IFABP (intestinal fatty acid binding protein) corresponding to the fragment 29-106 of the parent protein. This protein and its predecessor, Δ98Δ (segment...

Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is linked to a deficiency of frataxin (FXN), a mitochondrial protein involved in iron-sulfur cluster synthesis. FXN is a small protein with an α/β fold followed by the C-terminal region (CTR)...

The effect of partial substitution of Ce by Pr ions in BaCe1−xPrxO3−δ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) perovskite was studied to improve the proton conductor capability, including transport and mechanical properties, thermodynamic...
