Nitrate in 2020: Thirty Years from Transport to Signaling Networks
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2020-07)Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for plants and a major limiting factor for plant growth and crop production. Nitrate is the main source of N available to plants in agricultural soils and in many natural environments. ... -
Land-Cover Classification Using MaxEnt: Can We Trust in Model Quality Metrics for Estimating Classification Accuracy?
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-03)MaxEnt is a popular maximum entropy-based algorithm originally developed for modelling species distribution, but increasingly used for land-cover classification. In this article, we used MaxEnt as a single-class land-cover ... -
Is waist-to-height ratio a better predictor of hypertension and type 2 diabetes than body mass index and waist circumference in the Chilean population?
(Elsevier Inc., 2020-12)Objective: The aim of this study was to identify which anthropometric measurement (body mass index [BMI], waist circumference [WC], or waist-to-height ratio [WHtR]) is a better predictor of type 2 diabetes and hypertension ... -
Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa
(Guizhou Key Laboratory of Agricultural Biotechnology, 2020)This article provides an outline of the classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil fungi. i.e. dispersed spores, mycelia, sporophores, mycorrhizas). We treat 19 phyla of fungi. These are Aphelidiomycota, Ascomycota, ... -
Impulsive generation of < 100 & rang; dislocation loops in BCC iron
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2020-07)The conditions for the formation of < 100 & rang; dislocation loops in body-centered cubic (BCC) iron were investigated via molecular dynamics simulations using a simplified model intended to mimic conditions in high energy ... -
Imogolite in water: Simulating the effects of nanotube curvature on structure and dynamics
(Elsevier BV, 2019-07)Imogolite is a fascinating inorganic nanotube that is found in nature or synthesized in a laboratory. The synthesis process is carried out in liquid media, and leads to the formation of almost monodisperse diameter nanotubes. ... -
Hydrogen effects on the mechanical properties of nanocrystalline free-standing Palladium thin films
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020-05)Pd membranes are used both in hydrogen detection and hydrogen separation devices. Their properties can be improved at the nanometer scale. We simulate atomistically the tensile properties of Pd mono and polycrystalline ... -
Optimal cut-off points for waist circumference in the definition of metabolic syndrome in Chile
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-11)Objective: To identify sex-specific cut-off points for waist circumference (WC) in the definition of metabolic syndrome (MetS) for the Chilean adult population. Design: MetS was defined as the presence of at least two out ... -
Fuera de la ley
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2020-04)A series of regulations and ordinances are consciously disobeyed by this intervention. Its transgressive character, however, was overcome by the events of October 18, 2019, in Chile, which even led the government to declare ... -
Pedestrian Walkways for Health in Shiraz, Iran, the Contribution of Attitudes, and Perceived Environmental Attributes
(MDPI AG, 2020-09)Walking is important for improving physical activity and public health. The pedestrian walkways called Walkways for Health in Shiraz, Iran, present a high standard of aesthetic and design features which attract many people ... -
Pharmacological iron-chelation as an assisted nutritional immunity strategy against Piscirickettsia salmonis infection
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2020-10)Salmonid Rickettsial Septicaemia (SRS), caused by Piscirickettsia salmonis, is a severe bacterial disease in the Chilean salmon farming industry. Vaccines and antibiotics are the current strategies to fight SRS; however, ... -
Phase space classification of an Ising cellular automaton: The Q2R model
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020-04)An exact classification of the different dynamical behaviors that exhibits the phase space of a reversible and conservative cellular automaton, the so-called Q2R model, is shown in this paper. Q2R is a cellular automaton ... -
Fungal Diversity Analysis of Grape Musts from Central Valley-Chile and Characterization of Potential New Starter Cultures
