Different Pollinators' Functional Traits Can Explain Pollen Load in Two Solitary Oil-Collecting Bees
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-10)
Pollinators' features, especially those with a functional role during the pollination process, have been shown to be a good predictor of pollen load for some bee species, but little is known about solitary bees. Here, I ...
Does insulin-like growth factor moderate the association between height and risk of cancer at 24 sites?
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-11)
Background Whether the association of height with cancers differs by insulin-like growth factors has not been fully elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the sex-specific associations between height and ...
Effect of High-Intensity Interval Training on Body Composition, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Blood Pressure, and Substrate Utilization During Exercise Among Prehypertensive and Hypertensive Patients With Excessive Adiposity
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-10)
Regular exercise training is a recognized lifestyle strategy to lower resting blood pressure (BP), but little is known about substrate metabolism in population with high BP. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate ...
Effect of MnTBAP on in vitro capacitation of frozen-thawed stallion sperm
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
In vitro manipulation of spermatozoa leads to deleterious changes of structure and function that occur mainly due to oxidative stress, therefore, prevention or treatment is a strategy to improve the functions of processed ...
Satellite Remote Sensing Contributions to Wildland Fire Science and Management
(Springer International Publishing AG, 2020-06)
Purpose This paper reviews the most recent literature related to the use of remote sensing (RS) data in wildland fire management. Recent Findings Studies dealing with pre-fire assessment, active fire detection, and fire ...
The necroptosis pathway and its role in age-related neurodegenerative diseases: will it open up new therapeutic avenues in the next decade?
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020-07)
Introduction: Necroptosis is a programmed form of necrotic cell death. Growing evidence demonstrates that necroptosis contributes to cell demise in different pathological conditions including age-dependent neurodegenerative ...
Pollinator declines and the stability of plant-pollinator networks
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-04)
Population declines of pollinators constitute a major concern for the fate of biodiversity and associated ecosystem services in a context of global change. Massive declines of pollinator populations driven by habitat loss, ...
Effect of Tip Roundness on the Nanoindentation of Fe Crystals
(Springer New York, 2020-04)
Indentation tips are never atomically sharp, but rounded at their end. We use atomistic simulation to study the effect of tip roundness for the particular case of a cube-corner pyramidal indenter by comparing the results ...
Population dynamics of Melanaphis donacis (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and its Coccinellidae and Syrphidae predators on Arundo donax L.
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de Agronomía e Ingeniería Forestal, 2020)
The population density of the aphid Melanaphis donacis (Passerini) was studied in experimental plots of Arundo donax (L.) at the Antumapu Campus of the University of Chile, La Pintana (33 degrees 34' 08 '' S 70 degrees 38' ...
Effect of subsurface voids on the nanoindentation of Fe crystals
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2020-03)
Subsurface voids may strongly affect the response of materials to nanoindentation. We explore these effects for a bcc single-crystalline Fe sample using molecular dynamics simulation. Deformation occurs mainly by nucleation ...
