The Metabolic Core and Catalytic Switches Are Fundamental Elements in the Self-Regulation of the Systemic Metabolic Structure of Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2011-11-18)
Background: Experimental observations and numerical studies with dissipative metabolic networks have shown that cellular enzymatic activity self-organizes spontaneously leading to the emergence of a metabolic core formed ...
Estimation of preterm labor immediacy by nonlinear methods
(Public Library Science, 2017-06-01)
Preterm delivery affects about one tenth of human births and is associated with an increased perinatal morbimortality as well as with remarkable costs. Even if there are a number of predictors and markers of preterm delivery, ...
Global Self-Regulation of the Cellular Metabolic Structure
(Public Library of Science, 2010-03-02)
Background: Different studies have shown that cellular enzymatic activities are able to self-organize spontaneously, forming a metabolic core of reactive processes that remain active under different growth conditions while ...
Weighted lambda superstrings applied to vaccine design
(Public Library Science, 2019-02-08)
We generalize the notion of lambda-superstrings, presented in a previous paper, to the notion of weighted lambda-superstrings. This generalization entails an important improvement in the applications to vaccine designs, ...
Evidence of conditioned behavior in amoebae
(Nature, 2019-08-15)
Associative memory is the main type of learning by which complex organisms endowed with evolved nervous systems respond efficiently to certain environmental stimuli. It has been found in different multicellular species, ...
Bearing Assessment Tool for Longitudinal Bridge Performance
(Springer, 2020-11)
This work provides an unsupervised learning approach based on a single-valued performance indicator to monitor the global behavior of critical components in a viaduct, such as bearings. We propose an outlier detection ...
Soil Erosion and Forests Biomass as Energy Resource in the Basin of the Oka River in Biscay, Northern Spain
(MDPI, 2017-07)
The aim of this work has been the development of a methodology for the evaluation of residual forest biomass in Biscay, a province in northern Spain. The study area is located in the Oka river basin, an area of great ...
Assessment of Biomass Energy Potential and Forest Carbon Stocks in Biscay (Spain)
(MDPI, 2016-03)
The aim of this research is to identify, quantify and characterize the potential available forest biomass of Pinus radiata D. Don and Eucalyptus globulus Labill. across Biscay province in northern Spain. In order to do ...
On the Dynamics of the Adenylate Energy System: Homeorhesis vs Homeostasis
(Public Library Science, 2014-10-10)
Biochemical energy is the fundamental element that maintains both the adequate turnover of the biomolecular structures and the functional metabolic viability of unicellular organisms. The levels of ATP, ADP and AMP reflect ...
Spatial Distribution of Biomass and Woody Litter for Bio-Energy in Biscay (Spain)
(MDPI, 2018-05)
Forest management has been considered a subject of interest, because they act as carbon (C) sinks to mitigate CO2 emissions and also as producers of woody litter (WL) for bio-energy. Overall, a sustainably managed system ...
