The choice of sampling method is essential in the development of a population genetic study. This choice influences the type of samples that can be obtained and, therefore, the quality of the extracted DNA. Sampling meth...

We study the massive scalar field of a charged particle held at rest in conical thin-shell spacetimes with one or two asymptotic regions. Resonant and stable scalar Green’s functions are characterized in terms of the c...

Purple carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus var. atrorubens Alef.) accumulate anthocyanins in their roots, petioles and other plant parts. These flavonoid pigments represent an excellent dietary source of antioxidant and ...

In this comment we show that the claims by Cassidy et al (J Math Chem 56: 477, 2018) about the limitations of the Riccati Padé method (RPM) are unfounded. To this end we compare the performance of the RPM and their DESC...

This paper presents DS-PTAM, a distributed architecture for the S-PTAM stereo SLAM system. This architecture is developed on the ROS framework, separating the localization and mapping tasks into two independent ROS nodes...

This work presents the initial steps for the development of a serious game aimed at training users of upper limb prosthesis. In this initial phase, a virtual environment consisting of a soccer stadium was developed using...

Glucocorticoids participate in the behavioral and physiological responses generated under stressful circumstances coming from different sources—physical and/or psychological. In mammals, the increases of these hormones...

Hereditary Hearing Loss (HHL) is a common trait affecting 1 in 2000 new born children. The presence of over 100 different genes involved in HHL, lead us to go on board with Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) in order to search...

Encapsulation-dehydration, encapsulation-vitrification, and vitrification were tested for cryopreservation of Lotus tenuis (Fagaceae) adventitious buds clusters (ABCs) obtained by a direct regeneration system from leaves...

This study is aimed to assess the added value of Regional Climate Models (RCMs) with respect to their driving Global Climate Models (GCMs) focused on the behavior of precipitation over South America (SA) at different tem...

We study some desirable properties of recently introduced measures of quantum correlations based on the amount of non-commutativity quantified by the Hilbert–Schmidt norm (Guo in Sci Rep 6:25241, 2016; Majtey et al. in...

The arithmetic of Hilbert modular forms has been extensively studied under the assumption that the forms concerned are “paritious”—all the components of the weight are congruent modulo 2. In contrast, non-paritious...

In most temperate grasslands, cattle grazing can promote physiognomic changes on plant communities, as well as changes in species growth patterns. Through these changes in vegetation, cattle grazing can generate changes ...

A group of eight CMIP5 models are used to evaluate how much of the future changes in winter precipitation can be explained by changes in frontal activity over the Southern Hemisphere (SH). The frontal activity is calcula...

Plastic pollution is one of the most acute environmental topics of our time. While there is a great scientific effort to tackle this problem, it has not always been well-coordinated or properly targeted. In this short re...

Brood reduction is a within-brood partial mortality due to sibling rivalry and has been observed in a large number of bird species from diverse taxa. Here, I summarize several hypotheses accounting for the adaptive value...

Metabolism of Rhodococcus has evolved for adapting to a wide range of nutritional conditions. This adaptation often involves the flexibility of the central metabolism, which usually provides energy and precursors for bio...

An expanding world population and a planet limited in natural resources are two of the main reasons that have propelled the development of scientific and technological solutions that enable the efficient, sustainable, an...
