One-class land-cover classification using MaxEnt: the effect of modelling parameterization on classification accuracy
(PEERJ INC, 2019)
Multiple-class land-cover classification approaches can be inefficient when the main goal is to classify only one or a few classes. Under this scenario one-class classification algorithms could be a more efficient alternative. ...
Uptake and persistence of bacterial magnetite magnetosomes in a mammalian cell line: Implications for medical and biotechnological applications
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
Magnetotactic bacteria biomineralize intracellular magnetic nanocrystals surrounded by a lipid bilayer called magnetosomes. Due to their unique characteristics, magnetite magnetosomes are promising tools in Biomedicine. ...
Temporal and spatial dynamics of Bacteria, Archaea and protists in equatorial coastal waters
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)
Singapore, an equatorial island in South East Asia, is influenced by a bi-annual reversal of wind directions which defines two monsoon seasons. We characterized the dynamics of the microbial communities of Singapore coastal ...
Global ecological predictors of the soil priming effect
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)
Identifying the global drivers of soil priming is essential to understanding C cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. We conducted a survey of soils across 86 globally-distributed locations, spanning a wide range of climates, ...
c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-dependent internalization and Rab5-dependent endocytic sorting mediate long-distance retrograde neuronal death induced by axonal BDNF-p75 signaling
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)
During the development of the sympathetic nervous system, signals from tropomyosin-related kinase receptors (Trks) and p75 neurotrophin receptors (p75) compete to regulate survival and connectivity. During this process, ...
Maintaining close canopy cover prevents the invasion of Pinus radiata: Basic ecology to manage native forest invasibility
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
Pine invasion is a global threat that is occurring in native forests of diverse regions of the world. This process is arising in a scenario of rapid forest deforestation and degradation. Therefore, elucidate which forests ...
Serine 25 phosphorylation inhibits RIPK1 kinase-dependent cell death in models of infection and inflammation
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)
RIPK1 regulates cell death and inflammation through kinase-dependent and -independent mechanisms. As a scaffold, RIPK1 inhibits caspase-8-dependent apoptosis and RIPK3/MLKL-dependent necroptosis. As a kinase, RIPK1 ...
The fecal, oral, and skin microbiota of children with Chagas disease treated with benznidazole
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
Background Chagas disease is still prevalent in rural areas of South America. In endemic areas of Bolivia, school children are screened for the program of Chagas disease eradication of the Ministry of Health, and positive ...
Changes in belowground biodiversity during ecosystem development
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2019)
Belowground organisms play critical roles in maintaining multiple ecosystem processes, including plant productivity, decomposition, and nutrient cycling. Despite their importance, however, we have a limited understanding ...
Abrogation of Stem Loop Binding Protein (Slbp) function leads to a failure of cells to transition from proliferation to differentiation, retinal coloboma and midline axon guidance deficits
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
Through forward genetic screening for mutations affecting visual system development, we identified prominent coloboma and cell-autonomous retinal neuron differentiation, lamination and retinal axon projection defects in ...
