Co-benefits and trade-offs between biodiversity, carbon storage and water flow regulation
(Elsevier, 2012-12-05)
The trade-offs between biodiversity, carbon storage and water flow regulation were analysed in a biosphere reserve area. With the aim of proposing criteria for conservation plans that would include ecosystem services and ...
A global survey of CRM1-dependent nuclear export sequences in the human deubiquitinase family
(Portland Press LTD, 2012-01-01)
The mechanisms that regulate the nucleocytoplasmic localization of human deubiquitinases remain largely unknown. The nuclear export receptor CRM1 binds to specific amino acid motifs termed NESs (nuclear export sequences). ...
5S rRNA and Accompanying Proteins in Gonads: Powerful Markers to Identify Sex and Reproductive Endocrine Disruption in Fish
(ACS, 2012-06-22)
In anuran ovaries, 5S rDNA is regulated transcriptionally by transcription factor IIIA (TFIIIA), which upon transcription, binds 5S rRNA, forming 7S RNP. 5S rRNA can be stockpiled also in the form of 42S RNP bound to 42sp43. ...
Catalysts of Ni/α-Al2O3 and Ni/La2O3-αAl2O3 for hydrogen production by steam reforming of bio-oil aqueous fraction
(Elsevier, 2012-12-04)
This paper reports on the steam reforming, in continuous regime, of the aqueous fraction of bio-oil obtained by flash pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass (sawdust). The reaction system is provided with two steps in series: ...
Antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds obtained by autohydrolysis of corn residues
(2012-03)
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of autohydrolysis temperature of corn residues in the antioxidant
activity of the phenolic compounds extracted from the liquid phase. The treatments were carried out at
160, 180, ...
Dysfunctional and compensatory duality in mild cognitive impairment during a continuous recognition memory task
(Elsevier, 2012-11-23)
One of the current issues of debate in the study of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is deviations of oscillatory brain responses from normal brain states and its dynamics. This work aims to characterize the differences of ...
Classical Swine Fever Virus p7 Protein Is a Viroporin Involved in Virulence in Swine
(American Society of Microbiology, 2012-06-15)
The nonstructural protein p7 of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is a small hydrophobic polypeptide with an apparent molecular mass of 6 to 7 kDa. The protein contains two hydrophobic stretches of amino acids interrupted ...
Assessing the effect of alternative land uses in the provision of water resources: Evidence and policy implications from southern Europe
(Elsevier, 2012-10-01)
Ecosystem goods and services have been brought to the forefront of policy making all over the world. It is acknowledged that these goods and services underpin human well-being. The provision of water resources is amongst ...
Block copolymer concentration gradient and solvent effects on nanostructuring of thin epoxy coatings modified with epoxidized styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers
(ACS, 2012-01-27)
The gradient on block copolymer concentration through film thickness as well as the effects of casting solvents used on the nanostructuring of a thermosetting epoxy coating modified with an epoxidized poly(styrene-b-buta ...
Comparison between experimental values and standards on natural stone masonry mechanical properties
(Elsevier, 2012-03-01)
[EN] The research presented in this paper investigates the mechanical properties under compressive loads of a natural stone masonry. Selected materials and arrangement are typical from the Romanesque period, the main ...
