The aculeate family Bethylidae is represented in Baltic amber by about 40 species. We here describe and figure a new species in the subfamily Epyrinae from this late Eocene deposit: †Gracilepyris carsteni sp. nov., ba...

In order to assess the impact of sewage pollution on the diet of the strict detritivorous and migratory South American fish, Prochilodus lineatus, 16 sterol biomarkers were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometr...

Abstract Background A rapidly rising prevalence of hypertension (HTN) is observed in low-and-middle-income countries but few studies explore factors such as attitudes and beliefs, experiences and social and cultural cond...

In this study we present the comparison of the performance of two systems to measure intraocular scattering. Measurements were made by using a psychophysical system based on a brightness comparison method that provides a...

Abstract Introduction Small for gestational age and fetal growth restriction are two leading causes for low birth weight in term newborns. Due to the considerable overlap, the exact interactions between these groups have...

Successful phasing of synchrotron through-the-substrate microdiffraction data by δ-recycling direct-methods largely depends on the number of missing intensities caused by the limited sample rotation range [J. Rius, Dire...

Intra-specific color variation is often underestimated by researchers, and among mammalian species, intra-specific differences in coloration are poorly documented for most species. The main goal of this study was to appl...

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) compounds are characterized by structures in which layers with a brucite-like structure carry a net positive charge, usually due to the partial substitution of trivalent octahedrally coordi...

This work aimed to optimize a nonthermal (NT) ultrasound-assisted aqueous extraction (aq-UAE) to maximize the recovery of polyphenols, betaxanthins, and betacyanins. Extraction yields, thermal profiles and microbiologica...
