Intracellular levels of cyclic nucleotide second messengers are regulated predominantly by a large superfamily of phosphodiesterases (PDEs). Most of the different PDE variants play specific physiological functions; in fa...

Capsicum pubescens is a well-known hot chile from South American Andean highlands, nowadays cultivated from NW Argentina to Central America. The species is known only as a cultigen and not in wild form. The origin of C. ...

Real-time rendering applications are difficult software engineering development projects, due to the complexity of the implemented algorithms required to achieve interactive frame rates. To provide a faster development p...

The Antarctic rocky coasts are mainly colonized by extensive seaweed communities, which play key roles as food resource, habitat, and refuge for many benthic and pelagic organisms. Due to climate warming, Antarctic marin...

At the West Antarctic Peninsula climate change causes rapid frontline retreat of tidewater glaciers, opening new ice-free areas under water and causing meltwater discharges dragging sediments into the water. We aimed to ...

Since the middle of the twentieth century, the study of migration in Latin America has evolved in response to the themes and debates dominating the social sciences at specific points in time. This chapter provides an ove...

The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in neurons is associated to neurological and neurodegenerative disorders. α7 is also expressed in glial and immune cells, where it plays a role in neuroprotection and inflammatio...

Paleohistological studies of vertebrates are based on the analysis and interpretation of bone microstructure of petrographic thin sections. These sections are mainly performed following standard techniques; however, the ...

In this chapter, the potentiality of using a natural polymer (casein) and acarbohydrate (monosaccharides) as raw material to produce waterbornelatexes for coating applications will be presented. Indeed, casein is a subpr...

En este trabajo analizaremos la relación entre los monos y los indígenas Qom (tobas) del Gran Chaco argentino. Nuestro objetivo consistirá en preguntarnos: ¿los monos aulladores en el este de Formosa son lo mismo par...
