Nowadays, offshore renewable energy is seen more and more as an attractive alternative to onshore energy thanks to less space limitations and usually better weather conditions. However, the higher costs in installation a...

Octodontoidea is the most species-rich cladeamong hystricomorph rodents. Based on a combined parsimonyanalysis of morphological and molecular data of extinctand extant species, we analyze the history of SouthAmerican oct...

Prenatal testosterone (T) excess increases ovarian follicular recruitment, follicular persistence, insulin resistance, and compensatory hyperinsulinemia. Considering the importance of insulin in ovarian physiology, in th...

In a recent study we found that crania from South Amerindian populations on each side of the Andes differ significantly in terms of craniofacial shape. Western populations formed one morphological group, distributed cont...

The well-known pubertal acceleration of growth leads to the high morpho-physiological differentiation between males and females, allowing them to fit the requirements of biological reproduction and specifically adult act...

According to the standard conception of free will, the decision to choose one among many possible goals can be construed as a free act if and only if the subject has not been moved -or caused- to choose that goal. In thi...

The vertebrate Hedgehog (Hh) pathway has essential functions during development and tissue homeostasis in normal physiology, and its dysregulation is a common theme in cancer. The Hh ligands (Sonic Hh, Indian Hh, and Des...

Energy-dispersive inelastic X-ray scattering (EDIXS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to study hard dental tissues like dentine, enamel, and cementum in several human dental pieces of adult in...

The South American Ctenomys is the most speciose genus among both hystricomorphs and subterranean rodents of the world. Here, we present the most exhaustive phylogenies and timetree of living and extinct Ctenomys attempt...

An iterative refining method using FullProf software (Rietveld refinement) as a multi-input–output black-box with cyclic feedback is proposed in order to accurately measure the lattice misfit in two-phase coherent allo...

Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, has a digenetic life cycle. In itspassage from the insect vector to the mammalian host, and vice versa, it must be preparedto cope with abrupt changes in enviro...

We present a one-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation for the diffusion motion of a chain of N beads. We found that the scaling exponent for the viscosity can be smaller or greater than 3. This anomalous behavior cannot be...

We have analyzed the DNA-binding properties of the complex formed by the Arabidopsis TALE homeodomain (HD) proteins STM and BLH3 in comparison with those of the individual proteins. In vitro DNA-binding assays indicated ...

Four members of the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) calcium-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) family StCDPK22/23/24 and StCDPK27, present three functional EF-hands motifs in their calmodulin-like domain (CLD). StCDPK22/23/24...

We analyzed the quinoa seed transcriptome of four different accessions by aligning the RNA-seq results with the second version of the QQ74 genome (QQ74-V2). After filtering and normalizing 29,355 transcripts, we observed...

Loratadine (LOR) and pseudoephedrine sulfate (PES) were determined in pharmaceutical samples by using non-linear second-order data generated by a pH-gradient flow injection analysis (FIA) system with diode-array detectio...

1. Studying niche evolution becomes central to understanding the processesdriving species diversification along latitudinal gradients. Octodontoidea rodentsserve as a model group for understanding how the colonisation of...

We present a study of the microscopic dynamics of water trapped in reverse non-ionic micelles by means of a series of molecular dynamics simulations. The analysis of the effects of micellar confinement on spectroscopical...

Using molecular dynamics experiments, we analyze equilibrium and dynamical characteristics related to the solvation of excess protons in water-acetone mixtures. Our approach is based on the implementation of an extended ...

The purpose of this work is, first, to present a fast and accurate technique to compute Boltzmann-averaged values of the quantum-chemical 13C chemical shifts for each amino acid in oligopeptides, demonstrated here by an ...

We describe the functional properties of a nicotinic alpha9/serotonin subtype 3A (5HT3A) chimeric receptor expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. The chimera preserved ligand-binding properties of alpha9 and channel proper...

The organ of Corti, the auditory mammalian sensory epithelium, contains two types of mechanotransducer cells, inner and outer hair cells (IHCs and OHCs, respectively). IHCs are involved in conveying acoustic stimuli to t...
