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 ... -
Simple voltammetric analyses of ochratoxin A in food samples using highly-stable and anti-fouling black phosphorene nanosensor
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2018)There are few reports on the electrochemical detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) using chemically modified electrode owing to the OTA poor electrochemical activity and strong fouling effect towards electrode surface. In this ... -
Growth of Ni nanoclusters on irradiated graphene: a molecular dynamics study
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2018)We studied the soft landing of Ni atoms on a previously damaged graphene sheet by means of molecular dynamics simulations. We found a monotonic decrease of the cluster frequency as a function of its size, but few big ... -
Bending energy of 2D materials: graphene, MoS2 and imogolite
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2018)The bending process of 2D materials, subject to an external force, is investigated, and applied to graphene, molybdenum disulphide (MoS2), and imogolite. For graphene we obtained 3.43 eV angstrom(2) per atom for the bending ... -
Small eukaryotic phytoplankton communities in tropical waters off Brazil are dominated by symbioses between Haptophyta and nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018)Symbioses between eukaryotic algae and nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria have been recognized in recent years as a key source of new nitrogen in the oceans. We investigated the composition of the small photosynthetic eukaryote ... -
Metabolic potential and in situ transcriptomic profiles of previously uncharacterized key microbial groups involved in coupled carbon, nitrogen and sulfur cycling in anoxic marine zones
(WILEY, 2018)Anoxic marine zones (AMZs) impact biogeochemical cycles at the global scale, particularly the nitrogen cycle. Key microbial players from AMZs have been identified, but the majority remains unrecognized or uncharacterized. ... -
Ostreococcus tauri Luminescent Reporter Lines as Biosensors for Detecting Pollution From Copper-Mine Tailing Effluents in Coastal Environments
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018)Phytoplankton cells are excellent biosensors for environmental monitoring and toxicity assessments in different natural systems. Green algae, in particular, appear to be more responsive to copper (Cu) disturbances. This ... -
Temperature modulates Fischerella thermalis ecotypes in Porcelana Hot Spring
(ELSEVIER GMBH, URBAN & FISCHER VERLAG, 2018)In the Porcelana Hot Spring (Northern Patagonia), true-branching cyanobacteria are the dominant primary producers in microbial mats, and they are mainly responsible for carbon and nitrogen fixation. However, little is known ... -
Understanding time use via data mining: A clustering-based framework
(IOS PRESS, 2018)In this work, a data mining framework is proposed to improve the understanding of how people allocate their time. Using a multivariate approach, we performed a clustering procedure, and subsequently a regression analysis ... -
Varieties of Capitalism and its Contributions to the Study of Development in Latin America
(CENTRO DE INVESTIGACION Y DOCENCIA ECONOMICAS, 2018)The literature on varieties of capitalism has significantly advanced the research on comparative political economy globally. In Latin America, this has been cited increasingly as a way to understand the development problems ... -
Distinctive Archaeal Composition of an Artisanal Crystallizer Pond and Functional Insights Into Salt-Saturated Hypersaline Environment Adaptation
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018)Hypersaline environments represent some of the most challenging settings for life on Earth. Extremely halophilic microorganisms have been selected to colonize and thrive in these extreme environments by virtue of a broad ... -
High similarity in the microbiota of cold-water sponges of the Genus Mycale from two different geographical areas
(PEERJ INC, 2018)Sponges belonging to genus Mycale are common and widely distributed across the oceans and represent a significant component of benthic communities in term of their biomass, which in many species is largely composed by ... -
Species traits and network structure predict the success and impacts of pollinator invasions
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018)Species invasions constitute a major and poorly understood threat to plant-pollinator systems. General theory predicting which factors drive species invasion success and subsequent effects on native ecosystems is particularly ... -
The process of connectivity loss during habitat fragmentation and their consequences on population dynamics
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018)Understanding the processes and consequences of habitat fragmentation is highly relevant since it represents a serious threat to biodiversity. However, fragmentation includes several facets that are difficult to dissect, ... -
Next Generation Sequencing and mass spectrometry reveal high taxonomic diversity and complex phytoplankton-phycotoxins patterns in Southeastern Pacific fjords
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2018)In fjord systems, Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) not only constitute a serious problem when affecting the wildlife and ecosystems, but also human health and economic activities related to the marine environment. This is mostly ... -
Highly masculinized and younger males attain higher reproductive success in a social rodent
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2018)Alternative morphotypes have been reported in males of different taxa. In some mammals, highly masculinized and slightly masculinized males represent 2 opposite ends along a gradient of phenotypic variation in males. This ... -
