Marine ecosystems constitute systems of enormous wealth and biodiversity. They offer a large number of ecosystem services that have promoted the development of uses and activities for their benefit by societies. This has...

Background: Adolescence is a critical period of maturation when nutrient needs are high, especially among adolescents entering pregnancy. Using individual-level data from 140,000 participants, we examined socioeconomic, ...

The structure of the solar corona is made of magnetic flux tubes or loops. Due to the lack of contrast with their environment, observing and studying coronal loops in the quiet Sun is extremely difficult. In this work we...

This work aimed to develop fish O/W emulsions using soy protein isolate (SPI) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) either as separate stabilising agents or in combination. The fish O/W emulsions were prepared using aqueous d...

Classical executive tasks, such as Wisconsin card-sorting and verbal fluency, are widely used as tests of frontal lobe control functions. Since the pioneering work of Shallice and Burgess (1991), it has been known that c...

The excellent mechanical properties, high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance combined with moderate cost make superferritic stainless steels (SFSS) commercially attractive. Though these steels are finding incr...

The accuracy of screening tests for detecting cystic echinococcosis (CE) in livestock depends on characteristics of the host–parasite interaction and the extent of serological cross-reactivity with other taeniid specie...

Desolventizing is a key process in the vegetable oil industry, aimed at removing residual hexane from solid meals resulting from the extraction stage of crushed oilseeds. Desolventizing takes place industrially in a larg...

Peri-urban horticulture is crucial to local populations, but a global paucity of information exists regarding the contamination of the associated waterways because of this activity. The aim of this study was to assess pe...

We evaluated the distribution of eleven groups of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in surface waters and biota of different trophic levels, in five sites of two lowland urban rivers in Argentine. Twenty-nine out...

Fasciola hepatica is a worldwide emerging and re-emerging parasite heavily affecting several regions in South America. Some lymnaeid snail species of American origin are among the major hosts of F. hepatica worldwide. Re...

In this paper the design and implementation of an embedded system based on Flow-Batch methodology with a Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) sensor technology and a commercial FPGA admittance meter is presented to detect t...

In this work, different structures with composition Cu3Al are studied. Formation energies, elastic constants and various elastic moduli have been estimated using first principles methods and Quasi-Harmonic Approximation....

Coal-bearing deposits of the Tunas Formation suggest the existence of potential gas-prone source rocks in the Claromecó Basin, south of Buenos Aires province, Argentina. Two wells, PANG 0001 and PANG 0003, containing Pe...

We have studied, using DFT calculations, the adsorption of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) on the pristine and doped polar ZnO (000-1)-O surfaces. The considered dopants are Cobalt and Manganese. The obtained results, b...

Synthetic microdebris (particles of

Cross-section databases for atomic ionization, capture, and stopping by ion impact are intensively used in different areas of basic research, as well as in technological developments. We propose examining these databases...

In South America studies on the expansion and retraction of agricultural activity in drylands have been widely disseminated although not always linked to the spatialisation of land use change. Much of the literature from...

Many seed gums extracted from Prosopis spp. were investigated during recent years: P.africana from Senegal, P. affinis from Uruguay, P. glandulosa from México have shownpromising physicochemical properties and high simi...

The present chapter explores how the distinctive characteristics of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), particularly when at different interfaces, account for many novel potential applications in the oil industry. According t...

Life history concerns how organisms grow, reproduce and survive (Stearns,1992). From the classical optimization approach, a species´ life history isshaped by the interaction of extrinsic and intrinsic factors (Roff, 199...
