The need to know the dose of X-rays to be applied to patients suffering diseases such as cancerrequires accurate and stable dosimetric devices. Currently, the use of gelatin-based dosimetershas yielded excellent results ...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chronic treatment with atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on renal function, nitric oxide (NO) system, oxidative stress, collagen content and apoptosis in ...

We developed a conceptual framework that describes the key role of ecosystem services in urban ecological infrastructure. From this framework we analyze how research on ecosystem services has been addressed in cities of ...

This paper attempts to design statistical models to forecast annual precipitation in the Neuquen and Limay river basins in the Comahue region of Argentina. These forecasts are especially useful as they are used to better...

Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis causes bacterial wilt and canker in tomato. A detailed account of pathogen effects on growth and water parameters of affected plants is lacking. Besides, the long latent per...

The microbiological quality of truffles produced in Argentina was evaluated by analyzing the bacteria and fungi associated with fresh ascomata, the fungi that developed after storage (15 days in domestic refrigerator and...

I argue for a four dimensional, non-dynamical view of space-time, where becoming is not an intrinsic property of reality. This view has many features in common with the Parmenidean conception of the universe. I discuss s...

During the last century shrub encroachment has occurred in many arid and semiarid areas of the world. Patagonia is a large xeric territory located in the southern tip of South America, which has been grazed by sheep for ...

Emerging marine infectious diseases pose a substantial threat to marine ecosystems and the conservation of their biodiversity. Compartmental models of epidemic transmission in marine sessile organisms, available only rec...

This study examines the gender-differentiated dynamics of domestic violence across 25 Peruvian regions from 2009-2023, employing a System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) approach. Our analysis reveals distinct patter...

The effect of confinement pressure on fracture toughness may be significant in materials with poor tensile strength, as is the case of most rocks. In fracking wells for hydrocarbon exploitation, rock fracture is induced ...

We investigate whether a dynamical wormhole could survive in a universe that undergoes a cosmological bounce. First, the conditions under which a wormhole could persist from a contracting to an expanding phase of the cos...

Technological and structural properties of edible flaxseed oil oleogels with dehydrated full bovine blood plasma as structuring agent were evaluated, envisioned oleogels as potential sustainable saturated fat replacers i...

Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are capable of self-renewing and producing all cell types derived from the three germ layers in response to developmental cues, constituting an important promise for regenerative medicine. P...

HD 195592 is an O-type supergiant star, known as a well-established runaway. Recently, a Fermi γ-ray source (2FGL J2030.7+4417) with a position compatible with that of HD 195592 has been reported. Our goal is to explore...

We report a novel, to the best of our knowledge, all-optical discrete multilevel time-lens (DM-TL) design based on cross-phase modulation (XPM). In this approach, the pump is synthesized such as the quadratic phase modul...

Essential oils from six species of aromatic plants collected in the Catamarca Province of Argentina were evaluated for their chemical composition and repellent and insecticidal activities against beetles of the genus Car...

An understanding of the mechanisms that shape animal-population dynamics is a fundamental consideration in conservation biology and ecology. Populations of the species of South-American sea lions (SASLs) Otaria flavescen...

Marine communities are changing at an accelerated rate because of anthropogenic stressors such as global warming and overfishing. Community compositional change over time (temporal β diversity) is mainly driven by the r...

We performed a systematic approach using statistical tools to understand the effect of the water chemistry on removal of microorganisms using ultrafiltration. We applied a four-factor at two-level factorial design with c...

Abstract Background Differentiating benign from canine malignant mammary tumors requires invasive surgical biopsy. Circulating microRNAs (miRNA) may represent promising minimally invasive cancer biomarkers in people and ...

Abstract Soil samples collected near municipal schools (public/EMEI and private/EPEI schools), clubs (CLB), public squares (PS) and residential condominiums (CND) and samples of animal faeces from the Zoonosis Control Ce...

Abstract The objectives of the present study were: (1) to determine the prevalence of Eimeria spp. sporulated oocysts in calves from 26 Municipalities in the Central Zone of the State of Veracruz, Mexico, (2) to identify...

Twenty weaned male hair lambs with average body live weight of 19.20 kg±2.18 kg (SD) were used to evaluate the effect of zeranol on growth, composition and carcass yield. The animals were distributed into a completely r...
