There is compelling evidence that environmental factors together with a large predisposing genetic component contribute to the risk for schizophrenia. Among such factors, psychosocial stress has been considered of paramo...

Intercellular communication is crucial in multiple aspects of cell biology. This interaction can be mediated by several mechanisms including extracellular vesicle (EV) transfer. EV secretion by parasites has been reporte...

The aim of this study was to characterize the immune response in Staphylococcus aureus chronicallyinfected bovine mammary glands during active involution. Twenty-one Holstein non-pregnant cows inlate lactation either uni...

Conventional and ultrasound assisted extraction of anthocyanins from grape pomace are here analyzed and compared. Mathematical modeling is used firstly to represent the extraction process and determine the associated mas...

Relative vibration between two flexible subsystems can be detrimental to the performance of many engineering applications, such as optics-based instruments, machine tools, or adjacent industrial structures sharing piping...

In this work, MCM-41 materials have been synthesized and modified with different metal loadings of iron by the wet impregnation method. The different meso-structures obtained were characterized by XRD, UVVIS-RD, ICP and ...

The use of long ssDNA polynucleotides in PCR of degraded DNA samples can discriminate Short Tandem Repeat (STR) genotypes otherwise missed by current commercial kits. Fil: Mautner, Martin E.. Biodynamics; Argentina Fil: ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate echocardiographic and electrocardiographic parameters during the normal canine postpartum period. Twenty clinically healthy pregnant bitches of toy breeds (11 Miniature poodles, five...

A brain computer interface (BCI) is a system which provides direct communication between the mind of a person and the outside world by using only brain activity (EEG). The event-related potential (ERP)-based BCI problem ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms explaining the multidrug-resistant (MDR) phenotype found in a novel clinical Shewanella sp. strain (Shew256) recovered from a diabetic patient. Whol...

Patagonia is the only continental territory exposed to the southern westerlies. The speed and frequency of these westerly winds generate a landscape strongly influenced by aeolian processes. This research shows a charact...

Mesoporous silica particles were used as reinforcement of a phenolic resin to develop new ablative materials. A resol type phenolic resin was filled with mesoporous silica particles synthesized from tetraethyl orthosilic...

Mn-Cu mixed oxides were deposited by ultrasonic impregnation on ceramic honeycomb monoliths. Its catalytic performance was evaluated in the combustion of ethanol and n-hexane, VOC molecules of different chemical nature. ...

Post-processing evolution of the functional properties of soybean protein concentrate (SPC) films, plasticized with varying levels of glycerol and processed by compression molding, was examined over a period of 90 days. ...

This article describes the effect of mechanically fractionated flours from green bananas on the nutritional, physical and sensory attributes of two types of cakes (sponge and layer). A plausible 30% replacement of banana...

Equine lentivirus receptor-1 (ELR1) has been characterized as the specific functional receptor that mediates equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) entrance to horse macrophages. This receptor is tumor necrosis factor rec...

Several Sarcocystis spp. have carnivores as definitive host and sarcocysts are common in muscles of herbivores (intermediate host). However, sarcocysts have been found in muscles of wild and domestic carnivores suggestin...

In this work, a biofilm-mediated removal of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was proposed. PAHs are toxic and persistent contaminants from petroleum industry, dispersed on water, soils, air and sediments. The removal cap...

The temperature and pressure dependencies of the rate constant of the recombination reaction CCl2 + CCl2 + M → C2Cl4 + M have been theoretically studied between 300 and 2000 K. Quantum-chemical calcul...

Surface tension and density were measured for the binary mixtures toluene  +  methyl propanoate, toluene  +  methyl pentanoate, toluene  +  methyl heptanoate and toluene  +  methyl octanoate at atmospheric pressu...

High-grade gliomas are the most prevalent and lethal primary brain tumors. They display a hierarchical arrangement with a population of self-renewing and highly tumorigenic cells called cancer stemcells. These cells are ...

Three analytical methodologies for the generation of third-order liquid chromatography–excitation–emission fluorescence matrix (LC–EEM) data are presented. Instrumental requirements were evaluated considering equip...

The necessity to reduce the weight of transport structures, such as cars and airplanes, has become more important due to gas emission regulations. In this regard, the use of hybrid structures made of steel and aluminum i...

In this chapter the capsaicin derivative grafting onto cellulose ispresented as an alternative to obtain bioactive papers. First, grafting of nonivamide (capsaicin derivative) onto cellulose fibers using polycarboxylicac...
