MLSTar: automatic multilocus sequence typing of bacterial genomes in R
(PEERJ INC, 2018)Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is a standard tool in population genetics and bacterial epidemiology that assesses the genetic variation present in a reduced number of housekeeping genes (typically seven) along the genome. ... -
Endoplasmic reticulum stress in autoimmune diseases: Can altered protein quality control and/or unfolded protein response contribute to autoimmunity? A critical review on Sjogren's syndrome
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018)For many years, researchers in the field of autoimmunity have focused on the role of the immune components in the etiopathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. However, some studies have demonstrated the importance of target ... -
Prediction of drought-induced reduction of agricultural productivity in Chile from MODIS, rainfall estimates, and climate oscillation indices
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018)Global food security is negatively affected by drought. Climate projections show that drought frequency and intensity may increase in different parts of the globe. These increases are particularly hazardous for developing ... -
Joint effect of physical activity and sedentary behaviour on cardiovascular risk factors in Chilean adults
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018)Background To investigate the associations between combined categories of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) with markers of adiposity and cardiovascular risk in adults. Methods ... -

Water-equivalence of gel dosimeters for radiology medical imaging
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2018)International dosimetry protocols are based on determinations of absorbed dose to water. Ideally, the phantom material should be water equivalent; that is, it should have the same absorption and scatter properties as water. ... -
Bolidophyceae, a Sister Picoplanktonic Group of Diatoms - A Review
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018)Pico- and nano-phytoplankton (respectively, 0.2-2 and 2-20 mu m in cell size) play a key role in many marine ecosystems. In this size range, Bolidophyceae is a group of eukaryotes that contains species with cells surrounded ... -

Association of a healthy lifestyle index with cardiovascular risk factors in Chileans adults
(SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2018)Background: Healthy lifestyles are associated with a better metabolic- and cardiovascular health profile. Aim: To investigate the association between a lifestyle score and cardiovascular risk in Chilean adults. Material ... -
Knee sensorimotor control following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A comparison between reconstruction techniques
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2018)The sensorimotor system helps to maintain functional joint stability during movement. After anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction, several sensorimotor deficits may arise, including altered proprioception ... -
Association of the FTO (rs9939609) genotype with energy intake
(SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2018)Background: Fat-mass-associated-gene (FTO) is associated with higher energy intake and specific food preferences. Aim: To investigate the association of the FTO genotype with energy intake, macronutrient and alcohol ... -
An Empirical Study of Exhaustive Matching for Improving Motion Field Estimation
(MDPI, 2018)Optical flow is defined as the motion field of pixels between two consecutive images. Traditionally, in order to estimate pixel motion field (or optical flow), an energy model is proposed. This energy model is composed of ... -
Occurrence and Genetic Diversity of Bartonella spp. (Rhizobiales: Bartonellaceae) and Rickettsia spp. (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae) in Cat Fleas (Siphonaptera: Pulicidae) From Chile
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2018)The aim of this study was to perform a molecular survey and determine the genetic diversity of Bartonella spp. (Rhizobiales: Bartonellaceae) and Rickettsia spp. (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae) in cat fleas (Siphonaptera: ... -
Short-term response of soil microorganisms, nutrients and plant recovery in fire-affected Araucaria araucana forests
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018)Soil contains a wide variety of microorganisms that are responsible for fundamental ecological processes. However, increased frequency and severity of fires reduce microbial diversity and alter soil nutrient availability, ... -
Spatial and Temporal Variability in the Development and Potential Toxicity of Phormidium Biofilms in the Tarn River, France
(MDPI, 2018)Proliferation of Phormidium biofilms in rivers is becoming a worldwide sanitation problem for humans and animals, due to the ability of these bacteria to produce anatoxins. To better understand the environmental conditions ... -
Home sweet home: social dynamics and genetic variation of a long-term resident bottlenose dolphin population off the Chilean coast
