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 ...
Fungal Diversity Analysis of Grape Musts from Central Valley-Chile and Characterization of Potential New Starter Cultures
(Univ Mayor, GEMA Ctr Genom Ecol & Environm, Chile, 2020-06)
Autochthonous microorganisms are an important source of the distinctive metabolites that influence the chemical profile of wine. However, little is known about the diversity of fungal communities associated with grape ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Identification of Metabolite and Lipid Profiles in a Segregating Peach Population Associated with Mealiness in Prunus persica (L.) Batsch
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-04)
The peach is the third most important temperate fruit crop considering fruit production and harvested area in the world. Exporting peaches represents a challenge due to the long-distance nature of export markets. This ...
New Poly(imide)s Bearing Alkyl Side-Chains: A Study on the Impact of Size and Shape of Lateral Groups on Thermal, Mechanical, and Gas Transport Properties
(MDPI AG, 2020-07)
A set of five new aromatic poly(imide)s (PIs) incorporating pendant acyclic alkyl moieties were synthesized. The difference among them was the length and bulkiness of the pendant group, which comprises of linear alkyl ...
Neuronal HIF-1 alpha in the nucleus tractus solitarius contributes to ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2020-05)
We hypothesized that hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) in CNS respiratory centres is necessary for ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia (VAH); VAH is a time-dependent increase in baseline ventilation and the ...
Interplay between rotational work shift and high altitude-related chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia on cardiovascular health and sleep quality in Chilean miners
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020-10)
Mining activities expose workers to diverse working conditions, rotational shifts and high altitude-related hypobaric hypoxia. Separately, each condition has been reported having a negative impact on miners' health risk; ...
