(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2018)
The purpose of this study was to investigate healthy lifestyle behaviours across age categories in the older population in Chile. Data from 1390 older adults (>= 60 years), in the 2009-2010 Chilean National Health Survey ...
Changes in the ankle muscles co-activation pattern after 5 years following total ankle joint replacement
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018)
Background: The Hintegra (R) arthroplasty provides inversion-eversion stability, permits axial rotation, ankle flexion-extension, and improvements of the gait patterns are expected up to 12 months of rehabilitation. However, ...
Quantum probe of an on-chip broadband interferometer for quantum microwave photonics
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2018)
Quantum microwave photonics aims at generating, routing, and manipulating propagating quantum microwave fields in the spirit of optical photonics. To this end, the strong nonlinearities of superconducting quantum circuits ...
Motherhood inmigrant women in Chile: A qualitative study
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018)
Background: The adverse impact of poverty and migration in pregnant women is expressed in diverse results in reproductive, mental and child health, all of which are related to lack of documentation to reside in the country, ...
A Simulation Study Using Terrestrial LiDAR Point Cloud Data to Quantify Spectral Variability of a Broad-Leaved Forest Canopy
(MDPI, 2018)
In this analysis, a method for construction of forest canopy three-dimensional (3D) models from terrestrial LiDAR was used for assessing the influence of structural changes on reflectance for an even-aged forest in Belgium. ...
Evaluation of modeling strategies for assessing self-thinning behavior and carrying capacity
(WILEY, 2018)
Self-thinning and site maximum carrying capacity are key concepts for understanding and predicting ecosystem dynamics as they represent the outcome of several fundamental ecological processes (e.g., mortality and growth). ...

Climate signals in tree rings of Paubrasilia echinata (Leguminosae-Caesalpinioidea) from the Atlantic Forest of Brazil
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2020)
Key message Tree-ring chronologies were built for wild and cultivated Paubrasilia echinata, a presently endangered species. Significantly P. echinata showed measurably different growth patterns related to the environment ...
Differences in neuromuscular activity of ankle stabilizing muscles during postural disturbances: A gender-specific analysis
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2018)
The purpose was to examine gender differences in ankle stabilizing muscle activation during postural disturbances. Seventeen participants (9 females: 27 +/- 2yrs., 1.69 +/- 0.1 m, 63 +/- 7 kg; 8 males: 29 +/- 2yrs., 1.81 ...
The Antidiabetic Agent Sodium Tungstate Induces Abnormal Glycogen Accumulation in Renal Proximal Tubules from Diabetic IRS2-Knockout Mice
(HINDAWI LTD, 2018)
The kidney is an insulin-sensitive organ involved in glucose homeostasis. One major effect of insulin is to induce glycogen storage in the liver and muscle. However, no significant glycogen stores are detected in normal ...
