Plyometric training improves swimming performance in recreationally-trained swimmers
(Redprint Editora Ltda, 2020-09)
Introduction: Plyometric training significantly improves strength performance, including in aquatic sports. Objective: To compare changes in thigh girth, hamstring flexibility, squat jump height, and 200m swimming trial ...
Right-Wing Moderation, Left-Wing Inertia and Political Cartelisation in Post-Transition Chile
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-05)
By examining the Manifesto Project data for post-transition Chile, we show growing convergence in the electoral competition strategies between the centre-left and centre-right coalitions. While the former is characterised ...
Protein Kinase CK2 in Cancer Energetics
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-06)
Protein kinase CK2 (formerly known as casein kinase 2) is abnormally elevated in many cancers. This may increase tumor aggressiveness through CK2-dependent phosphorylation of key proteins in several signaling pathways. In ...
FoamExplorer: Automated measurement of ligaments and voids for atomistic systems
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Atomistic simulations are often used to explore the mechanical and chemical properties of a variety of materials and structures, such as nanowires, whiskers, nanospheres, nanotrusses, and nanoscale foams, among others. ...
From the open generalized Heisenberg model to the Landau-Lifshitz equation
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2020-10)
Magnetic systems can be described by the classical Landau-Lifshitz (LL) equation or the fully quantum open generalized Heisenberg model. Using the Lindblad master equation and the mean-field approximation, we demonstrate ...
Relation between COVID-19 and Guillain-Barre syndrome in adults: Systematic review
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Introduction: Numerous cases have been reported of patients with symptoms of Guillain-Barre syndrome associated with COVID-19, but much information is still lacking on this association and its implications. The objective ...
Resiliencia es más que resistencia: dos experiencias del terremoto y tsunami de 2010
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2020-08)
Ante una catástrofe natural, la resistencia es una condición necesaria pero no suficiente. Una construcción puede resistir un terremoto o un aluvión, pero eso no significa que la vida que albergaba vuelva a ocurrir de ...
Phosphorylation of Endothelin-Converting Enzyme-1c at Serines 18 and 20 by CK2 Promotes Aggressiveness Traits in Colorectal Cancer Cells
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-07)
Endothelin-converting enzyme-1 (ECE1) activates the endothelin-1 peptide, which upregulates pathways that are related to diverse hallmarks of cancer. ECE1 is expressed as four isoforms differing in their N-terminal domains. ...
Physicochemical properties of L-alpha dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine large unilamellar vesicles: Effect of hydrophobic block (PLA/PCL) of amphipathic diblock copolymers
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2020-08)
In the present work, we show how amphipathic diblock copolymers affect the physicochemical properties of the lipid bilayer of DPPC liposome. Diblock copolymers proposed for this study are focused in the difference between ...
Erythroid Differentiation and Heme Biosynthesis Are Dependent on a Shift in the Balance of Mitochondrial Fusion and Fission Dynamics
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-11)
Erythropoiesis is the most robust cellular differentiation and proliferation system, with a production of similar to 2 x 10(11) cells per day. In this fine-tuned process, the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) generate erythroid ...
