Understanding the effects of predictability, duration, and spatial pattern of drying on benthic invertebrate assemblages in two contrasting intermittent streams
(Public Library Science, 2018-03-28)
In the present study, we examined the effects of different drying conditions on the composition, structure and function of benthic invertebrate assemblages. We approached this objective by comparing invertebrate assemblages ...
Monitoring Chest Compression Quality During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Proof-Of-Concept Of A Single Accelerometer-Based Feedback Algorithm
(Public Library Science, 2018-02-14)
Background
The use of real-time feedback systems to guide rescuers during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) significantly contributes to improve adherence to published resuscitation guidelines. Recently, we designed ...
Links Between Data On Chemical And Biological Quality Parameters In Wastewater-Impacted River Sediment And Water Samples
(Elsevier, 2018-08-15)
In many urban catchments, the discharge of effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), as well as untreated wastewaters (UWWs), presents a major challenge for the maintenance of river sediment and water quality. ...
Physical activity and fitness are associated with verbal memory, quality of life and depression among nursing home residents: preliminary data of a randomized controlled trial
(Biomed Central, 2018-03-27)
Background: Few studies have simultaneously examined changes in physical, cognitive and emotional performance throughout the aging process.
Methods: Baseline data from an ongoing experimental randomized study were ...
Distinct Correlations Between Lipogenic Gene Expression and Fatty Acid Composition of Subcutaneous Fat Among Cattle Breeds
(Biomed Central, 2018-05-23)
Background: The fatty acid (FA) composition of adipose tissue influences the nutritional quality of meat products. The unsaturation level of FAs is determined by fatty acid desaturases such as stearoyl- CoA desaturases ...
Exploring Reaction Conditions to Improve the Magnetic Response of Cobalt-Doped Ferrite Nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2018-01-25)
With the aim of studying the influence of synthesis parameters in structural and magnetic properties of cobalt-doped magnetite nanoparticles, Fe3-xCoxO4 (0 < x < 0.15) samples were synthetized by thermal decomposition ...
Formulation Of Carbopol((R))/Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)s Mucoadhesive Tablets For Buccal Delivery Of Hydrocortisone
(MDPI, 2018-02-11)
Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) has become an excellent alternative to the use of poly(ethylene glycol) in pharmaceutical formulations due to its valuable physicochemical and biological properties. This work presents a formulation ...
Unraveling the In Vitro Antitumor Activity of Vismia Baccifera Against HepG2: Role of Hydrogen Peroxide
(Elsevier, 2018-06-27)
Currently natural products derived from plants are receiving huge attention because of their antitumor activities. In previous work we reported that an aqueous leaf extract of Vismia baccifera induced toxicity in HepG2. ...
Physical Activity, Physical Fitness, Body Composition, And Nutrition Are Associated With Bone Status In University Students
(MDPI, 2018-01-10)
Understanding the modifiable factors that improve and maximize peak bone mass at an early age is necessary to design more effective intervention programs to prevent osteoporosis. To identify these modifiable factors, we ...
