Phenology determines the robustness of plant-pollinator networks
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018)
Plant-pollinator systems are essential for ecosystem functioning, which calls for an understanding of the determinants of their robustness to environmental threats. Previous studies considering such robustness have focused ...
MicroRNA Profiling and Bioinformatics Target Analysis in Dorsal Hippocampus of Chronically Stressed Rats: Relevance to Depression Pathophysiology
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018)
Studies conducted in rodents subjected to chronic stress and some observations in humans after psychosocial stress, have allowed to establish a link between stress and the susceptibility to many complex diseases, including ...
Rule-Based Models and Applications in Biology
(Humana Press, 2018-11-13)
Complex systems are governed by dynamic processes whose underlying causal rules are difficult to unravel. However, chemical reactions, molecular interactions, and many other complex systems can be usually represented as ...
Effect of yeast (Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous) and plant (Saint John's wort, lemon balm, and rosemary) extract based functional diets on antioxidant and immune status of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) subjected to crowding stress
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2018)
Salmon farming may face stress due to the intensive culture conditions with negative impacts on overall performance. In this aspect, functional feed improves not only the basic nutritional requirements but also the health ...
Transcriptional profiling of embryos lacking the lipoprotein receptor SR-B1 reveals a regulatory circuit governing a neurodevelopmental or metabolic decision during neural tube closure
(BMC, 2018)
Background: The high-density lipoprotein receptor SR-B1 mediates cellular uptake of several lipid species, including cholesterol and vitamin E. During early mouse development, SR-B1 is located in the maternal-fetal interface, ...
RIP-MD: a tool to study residue interaction networks in protein molecular dynamics
(PEERJ INC, 2018)
Protein structure is not static; residues undergo conformational rearrangements and, in doing so, create, stabilize or break non-covalent interactions. Molecular dynamics (MD) is a technique used to simulate these movements ...
SMZ/SNZ and gibberellin signaling are required for nitrate-elicited delay of flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018)
The reproductive success of plants largely depends on the correct programming of developmental phase transitions, particularly the shift from vegetative to reproductive growth. The timing of this transition is finely ...
In-Silico Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of a Nanostructured Hydrogel as a Dimethoate Removal Agent
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2018-01-04)
This study describes the in-silico design, synthesis, and evaluation of a cross-linked PVA hydrogel (CLPH) for the absorption of organophosphorus pesticide dimethoate from aqueous solutions. The crosslinking effectiveness ...
Tuning the structure and magnetic behavior of Ni-Ir-based nanoparticles in ionic liquids
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2018)
We report on a simple preparation of extremely small diameter (ca. 2 nm) Ni-Ir-based NPs using Ni(COD)(2) and [Ir(COD)OCH3](2) in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (BMImNTf(2)). The prepared NPs ...
Toward Controlled Morphology of FeCu Nanoparticles: Cu Concentration and Size Effects
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2018)
Bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) can be tailored by varying the concentration of their constituent elements, resulting in novel structures and/or configurations, leading to interesting electronic, mechanical, and chemical ...
