Artificial pancreas (AP) algorithms can be divided into single-hormone (SH) and dual-hormone (DH). SH algorithms regulate glycemia using insulin as their control input. On the other hand, DH algorithms also use glucagon ...

We used and evaluated the effectiveness of a hand-capture technique to capture and mark neonatal vicuñas (Vicugna vicugna) at San Guillermo National Park, west-central Argentina. We captured and marked 98 neonates durin...

Antimicrobial finishings protect users from pathogenic and odor-generating microorganisms, which are of medical and hygiene concerns. Controlled release is a useful approach to obtain antimicrobial finishings in several ...

Aims: To evaluate the inhibition effectiveness of enterocin CRL35 in combination with cell wall, membrane-acting antibiotics and muranolytic enzymes against the foodborne pathogen Listeria.Methods and Results: Synthetic ...

Atomistic simulations are often used to explore the mechanical and chemical properties of a variety of materials and structures, such as nanowires, whiskers, nanospheres, nanotrusses, and nanoscale foams, among others. P...

The pattern of somatic growth reflects the variable allocation of energy and materials throughout ontogeny, with direct impact on an individual’s fitness, and is therefore expected to be adaptive with regard to the dif...

Context. Recent observational results have found a bend in the Tully-Fisher relation in such a way that low-mass systems lie below the linear relation described by more massive galaxies. Aims. We intend to investigate th...

This paper aims to examine the dialogue between Juno and Jupiter in Aen. 12.791-842 in terms of a rite of evocatio. The reconciliation of Juno with her husband has been analyzed by D. Feeney in his classic 1984 article, ...

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. ...

Coastal regions are sectors where human activities impact the marine ecosystem, and if necessary control measures are not taken, they can generate negative consequences for health and ecosystem services. Within the frame...

In the last decades there have been significant advances in our understanding of the cellular and subcellular mechanisms underlying changes in synaptic connectivity that subserve memory formation. The so called Theory of...

Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is commonly used to permanently reduce spasticity in children with cerebral palsy (CP). However, studies have yielded varying results regarding muscle strength and activity after SDR. Som...

Existing empirical studies have mainly focused on determinants of average investment levels. Instead, we investigate episodes of accelerated capital stock growth having a duration of eight years or longer. We find that e...

Alarm calls are an antipredatory strategy widely used by animals. Some calls are functionally referential, giving specific information about the perceived threat. In other cases, the calls are less specific although they...

Flow cytometry has become an important tool in the fields of veterinary, medicine, and biological sciences in general. However, in the introductory and even in advanced university degree courses, students do not have man...

Twenty seven years ago, the ComisiónTécnica Mixta del Frente Marítimo publisheda catalogue of marine decapod andstomatopod crustaceans registered in coasts,continental shelf and slope, and deep waters ofArgentina (Bos...

The adsorption of commercial trypsin (Try) onto epichlorohydrin cross-linked alginate–guar gum matrix has been studied at equilibrium in batch and in fixed bed column. Experiments were conducted to study the effect of ...

A susceptible strain of Aedes albopictus derived from the Gainesville strain (Florida, USA) was established in our laboratory. The larvicidal efficacies of the neurotoxic insecticides temephos, permethrin and the pure ci...

Nest predation can have several effects on breeding birds. It reduces breeding success but also, it can strongly affect parental investment and reproductive decisions. Here we tested the extent of effects of nest predati...

Microplastics are currently considered widespread marine pollutants, accumulating in sediments and shorelines around the world. Spatial distribution of microplastics in marine sediments is consequence of a combination of...

Fur ranching has been a prosperous industry for decades. Despite its worldwide distribution, little published information is available regarding the importance of the various causes of death in chinchilla (Chinchilla lan...

Previous studies have suggested that macrophages may contribute to acute Leptospira dissemination, as well as having a major role in kidney fibrosis. Our aim was to characterize the role of macrophages and galectin 3 (Ga...
