U–Pb dating of carbonate veins constraining timing of beef growth and oil generation within Vaca Muerta Formation and compression history in the Neuquén Basin along the Andean fold and thrust belt
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
[EN]We combine structural analysis of fractures with 22 U–Pb dates measured in fracture-filling carbonate cements from bed-parallel fibrous calcite veins (beef), conjugated veins and faults within the Vaca Muerta Formation ...
Nitrogen Assimilation in the Highly Salt- and Boron-Tolerant Ecotype Zea mays L. Amylacea
(MDPI, 2020-02-04)
The Lluta Valley in Northern Chile is an important agricultural area affected by both salinity and boron (B) toxicity. <i>Zea mays</i> L. amylacea, an ecotype arisen because of the seed selection practiced in this valley, ...
Methylmercury Poisoning Induces Cardiac Electrical Remodeling and Increases Arrhythmia Susceptibility and Mortality
(MDPI, 2020-05-15)
This study aims to investigate the cardiac electrical remodeling associated with intoxication by methylmercury (MeHg). We evaluated the chronic effects of MeHg on in vivo electrocardiograms and on ex vivo action potentials ...
Exploring the Different Degrees of Magnetic Disorder in TbxR1−xCu2 Nanoparticle Alloys
(MDPI, 2020-10-28)
Recently, potential technological interest has been revealed for the production of magnetocaloric alloys using Rare-Earth intermetallics. In this work, three series of TbxR1−xCu2 (R ≡ Gd, La, Y) alloys have been produced ...
Urban Development and Sustainable Mobility: A Spatial Analysis in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area
(MDPI, 2021-02-04)
This study provides empirical evidence on the links between urban development factors and the use of specific modes of transport in commuting in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. The case study is of interest because ...
An Integrative Omics Approach Reveals Involvement of BRCA1 in Hepatic Metastatic Progression of Colorectal Cancer
(MDPI, 2020-08-22)
(1) Background & Aims: The roles of different cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are critical to the metastatic process. The phenotypic transformation of the liver cells is one of the most important stages of the ...
Insights into the Reaction Routes for H2 Formation in the Ethanol Steam Reforming on a Catalyst Derived from NiAl2O4 Spinel
(American Chemical Society, 2021-11-04)
[EN]This work describes the satisfactory performance of a Ni/Al2O3 catalyst derived from NiAl2O4 spinel in ethanol steam reforming and focuses on studying the prevailing reaction routes for H-2 formation in this system. ...
Fungal Diversity and Composition of the Continental Solar Saltern in Añana Salt Valley (Spain)
(MDPI, 2021-12-14)
The Añana Salt Valley in Spain is an active continental solar saltern formed 220 million years ago. To date, no fungal genomic studies of continental salterns have been published, although DNA metabarcoding has recently ...
Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Spain: a Comparison of Native and Immigrant Populations
(Public Library Science, 2020-11-30)
Cardiovascular disease (CDV) risk factors are highly prevalent among adults with low social class in Spain. However, little is known on how these factors are distributed in the immigrant population, a socio-economic ...
Racial/ethnic inequities in the associations of allostatic load with all-cause and cardiovascular-specific mortality risk in U.S. adults
(2020-02-13)
Non-Hispanic blacks have higher mortality rates than non-Hispanic whites whereas Hispanics have similar or lower mortality rates than non-Hispanic blacks and whites despite Hispanics' lower education and access to health ...
