Implications of Selective Autophagy Dysfunction for ALS Pathology
(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-02)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a lethal neurodegenerative disorder that progressively affects motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Due to the biological complexity of the disease, its etiology remains unknown. ... -
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy human derived cells retain their ability to increase mitochondrial function
(Public Library of Science, 2020-11)Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies (IIMs) have been studied within the framework of autoimmune diseases where skeletal muscle appears to have a passive role in the illness. However, persiting weakness even after resolving ... -
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 ... -
Highly porous tungsten for plasma-facing applications in nuclear fusion power plants: a computational analysis of hollow nanoparticles
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2020-09)Plasma-facing materials (PFMs) for nuclear fusion, either in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) or in magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) approaches, must withstand extremely hostile irradiation conditions. Mitigation strategies ... -
Numerical skills and dyscalculia. From basic research to practice in Cuba
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020-06)Establishing bridges between the findings from cognitive neurosciences and teaching practice has not been systematically achieved. However, many researchers interested in this area agree on the positive impact that knowledge ... -
¿Lobo o lóbulo? Una explicación desde el origen etimológico: propuesta para terminología anatómica
(Universidad de La Frontera, 2020-08)During the Renaissance anatomists laid the foundations for present day knowledge in this discipline. Not all anatomists however, were good linguists, which led to errors in translation and prompted discussions in reference ... -
Nueva perspectiva metodológica para la evaluación de programas de transferencias condicionadas
(FLASCO-MEXICO, 2020)This research develops a methodological a perspective to evaluate the impact of conditional cash transfer programs, due to the need to broaden the understanding of social change and identify, describe and explain the social ... -
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 ... -
