Radiometric Cross-Calibration of the Chilean Satellite FASat-C Using RapidEye and EO-1 Hyperion Data and a Simultaneous Nadir Overpass Approach
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
The absolute radiometric calibration of a satellite sensor is the critical factor that ensures the usefulness of the acquired data for quantitative applications on remote sensing. This work presents the results of the first ...
The use of cortical particulate allograft mixed with plasma-rich fibrin in severe maxillary alveolar ridge atrophy
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
Atrophy in the edentulous maxilla typically consists of vertical bone loss in the posterior maxilla due to pneumatization of the maxillary floor and transverse reduction in anterior areas. The purpose of this study was to ...
Microtubule-associated protein 1B ( MAP1B)-deficient neurons show structural presynaptic deficiencies in vitro and altered presynaptic physiology (vol 6, 30069, 2016).
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
Microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B) is expressed predominantly during the early stages of development of the nervous system, where it regulates processes such as axonal guidance and elongation. Nevertheless, MAP1B ...
Honeybee health in South America
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
Honeybees are essential components to modern agriculture and economy. However, a continuous increase in cases of colony losses and colony depopulation are being reported worldwide. This critical situation has put the fragile ...
Molecular detection of vector-borne pathogens in wild and domestic carnivores and their ticks at the human-wildlife interface
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
Urbanization of natural areas is considered one of the causes of the current apparent emergence of infectious diseases. Carnivores are among the species that adapt well to urban and periurban environments, facilitating ...
Impact of Dietary Lipids on Colonic Function and Microbiota: An Experimental Approach Involving Orlistat-Induced Fat Malabsorption in Human Volunteers
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
OBJECTIVES: High-fat diets alter gut microbiota and barrier function, inducing metabolic endotoxemia and low-grade inflammation. Whether these effects are due to the high dietary lipid content or to the concomitant decrease ...
Men and Women Exhibit Similar Acute Hypotensive Responses After Low, Moderate, or High-Intensity Plyometric Training
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
The aim of this study was to compare the acute effects of low-, moderate-, high-, and combined-intensity plyometric training on heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and rate-pressure ...
Azadinium poporum from the Argentine Continental Shelf, Southwestern Atlantic, produces azaspiracid-2 and azaspiracid-2 phosphate
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
The marine dinophycean genus Azadinium has been identified as the primary source of azaspiracids (AZA), a group of lipophilic phycotoxins known to accumulate in shellfish. Blooms of Azadinium in the southern Atlantic off ...
Fungal Systematics and Evolution: FUSE 2
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
The present study introduces two new genera, 14 new species, five new combinations and 12 interesting host and/or geographical records. Novel species include: Castanediella malaysiana on Eucalyptus brassiana (Malaysia), ...
High quality RNA extraction from Maqui berry for its application in next-generation sequencing
(CIENCIAS, 2016)
Maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis) is a native Chilean species that produces berries that are exceptionally rich in anthocyanins and natural antioxidants. These natural compounds provide an array of health benefits for ...
