A GIS-based framework to identify priority areas for urban environmental inequity mitigation and its application in Santiago de Chile
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018)Environmental inequity is a common phenomenon of modern cities, particularly in the developing world where the high rates of urbanization often surpass the capacity of local governments to develop proper urban planning. ... -
A HaloTag-TEV genetic cassette for mechanical phenotyping of proteins from tissues
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-04-28)Single-molecule methods using recombinant proteins have generated transformative hypotheses on how mechanical forces are generated and sensed in biological tissues. However, testing these mechanical hypotheses on proteins ... -
A highly stable black phosphorene nanocomposite for voltammetric detection of clenbuterol
(SPRINGER WIEN, 2018)A nanocomposite was prepared from graphene-like two-dimensional black phosphorene (BP, an allotrope of phosphorus) and nafion (Nf) treated with isopropanol (IP). A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with this nanocomposite ... -
A mechanistic approach for the optimization of loperamide loaded nanocarriers characterization: Diafiltration and mathematical modeling advantages
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018)Oral bioavailability of loperamide is restricted by its limited absorption in the gastrointestinal tract due to its poor aqueous solubility and its P-glycoprotein (Pgp) substrate characteristic. In addition, ammonium ... -
A Metholodological Proposal for Using Poetry in the English as a Foreign Language Classroom
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2019)Abstract: The following essay aims to invite English as a foreign or second language teachers to include poetry in their classes as an alternative technique that might cause a positive impact in their students’ ... -
A Multicenter Study Evaluating the Stages of Change in Food Consumption with Warning Labels among Chilean University Students
(HINDAWI LTD, 2020)Objective. To analyze the stage of change in food consumption with warning labels among Chilean university students. Materials and Methods. Cross-sectional study which applied surveys in universities from all over the ... -
A multiple-class distance-decaying approach for mapping temperature reduction ecosystem services provided by urban vegetation in Santiago de Chile
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2019)Mapping ecosystem services is a challenging task, particularly for regulating services presenting spatial mismatches between the areas providing the services and those benefiting from them, such as the temperature reduction ... -
A multispecies assessment of wildlife impacts on local community livelihoods
(Wiley, 2021-02)Conflicts between the interests of agriculture and wildlife conservation are a major threat to biodiversity and human well-being globally. Addressing such conflicts requires a thorough understanding of the impacts associated ... -
A non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism in FASN gene alters FASN enzyme activity in subcutaneous and intramuscular adipose tissue in Holstein Friesian steers
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)The FASN enzyme plays a key role in fatty acids synthesis as the main long-chain fatty acid synthesizer. A non-synonymous SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) (g.17925A>G) located in the thiocsterase domain of this enzyme ... -
A Novel Method to Predict Genomic Islands Based on Mean Shift Clustering Algorithm
(CIENCIAS, 2016)Genomic Islands (GIs) are regions of bacterial genomes that are acquired from other organisms by the phenomenon of horizontal transfer. These regions are often responsible for many important acquired adaptations of the ... -
