Multiscale modelization in a small virus: Mechanism of proton channeling and its role in triggering capsid disassembly
(Public Library Science, 2018-04)
In this work, we assess a previously advanced hypothesis that predicts the existence of ion channels in the capsid of small and non-enveloped icosahedral viruses. With this purpose we examine Triatoma Virus (TrV) as a case ...
Optimization and Validation of Thermal Desorption Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry for the Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Ambient Air
(Hindawi, 2018-05-02)
Thermal desorption (TD) coupled with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TD-GC/MS) is a simple alternative that overcomes the main drawbacks of the solvent extraction-based method: long extraction times, high sample ...
The Corpus of Basque Simplified Texts (CBST)
(Springer, 2018-03)
In this paper we present the corpus of Basque simplified texts. This corpus compiles 227 original sentences of science popularisation domain and two simplified versions of each sentence. The simplified versions have been ...
A Consistent Procedure Using Response Surface Methodology to Identify Stiffness Properties of Connections in Machine Tools
(MDPI, 2018-07)
Accurate finite element models of mechanical systems are fundamental resources to perform structural analyses at the design stage. However, uncertainties in material properties, boundary conditions, or connections give ...
A field portable method for the semi-quantitative estimation of dehydration tolerance of photosynthetic tissues across distantly related land plants.
(2018-12-04)
Desiccation tolerant (DT) plants withstand complete cellular dehydration (reaching relative
water contents below 30% in their photosynthetic tissues), while desiccation sensitive (DS)
plants exhibit different degrees of ...
Effectiveness And Ecotoxicity Of Zero-Valent Iron Nanoparticles During Rhizoremediation Of Soil Contaminated With Zn, Cu, Cd And Diesel
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
The remediation of soils simultaneously contaminated with organic and inorganic compounds is still a challenging task. The application of metallic nanoparticles, such as zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI), for soil ...
Differences in the Use and Opinions About New eHealth Technologies Among Patients With Psychosis: Structured Questionnaire
(JMIR Publications, 2018-07-25)
Background: Despite a growing interest in the use of technology in order to support the treatment of psychotic disorders, limited knowledge exists about the viability and acceptability of these eHealth interventions in ...
Net-Net Auto Machine Learning (AutoML) Prediction of Complex Ecosystems
(Nature Publishing, 2018-08-17)
Biological Ecosystem Networks (BENs) are webs of biological species (nodes) establishing trophic relationships (links). Experimental confirmation of all possible links is difficult and generates a huge volume of information. ...
Can an Experimental White Noise Task Assess Psychosis Vulnerability in Adult Healthy Controls?
(Public Library Science, 2018-02-15)
Background
This is an extension of a paper published earlier. We investigated the association between the tendency to detect speech illusion in random noise and levels of positive schizotypy in a sample of 185 adult ...
Gene Prioritization, Communality Analysis, Networking and Metabolic Integrated Pathway to Better Understand Breast Cancer Pathogenesis
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-11-12)
Consensus strategy was proved to be highly efficient in the recognition of gene-disease association. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to apply theoretical approaches to explore genes and communities directly ...
