Human Endogenous Retrovirus HERV-Fc1 Association with Multiple Sclerosis Susceptibility: A Meta-Analysis
(Public Library Science, 2014-03-03)
Background: Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are repetitive sequences derived from ancestral germ-line infections by exogenous retroviruses and different HERV families have been integrated in the genome. HERV-Fc1 in ...
Impact analysis of wind farms on telecommunication services
(Elsevier, 2014-01-25)
[EN] Wind power is one of the fastest-growing technologies for renewable energy generation. Unfortunately, in the recent years some cases of degradation on certain telecommunication systems have arisen due to the presence ...
Transferring landscape values using discrete choice experiments: Is meta-analysis an option?
(Asociación Española de Economía Agraria, 2014-06-30)
[EN] Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) is an increasingly used valuation method to guide policy-makers in their landscape management decision-making. However, due to time and budget constraints, conducting an original DCE ...
Predicting coexistence and predominance patterns between the introduced Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) and the European native clam (Ruditapes decussatus)
(Elsevier, 2014-11-22)
In several European estuaries, the introduced Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) has become a widespread and predominating species supplanting the native carpet shell clam (Ruditapes decussatus) whereas in other estuaries ...
Assessing the suitability of the minimum capture size and protection regimes in the gooseneck barnacle shellfishery
(Elsevier, 2014-12-19)
The suitability of a total-length-based, minimum capture-size and different protection regimes was investigated for the gooseneck barnacle Pollicipes pollicipes shellfishery in N Spain. For this analysis, individuals that ...
Favoring Trienamine Activation through Unconjugated Dienals: Organocatalytic Enantioselective Remote Functionalization of Alkenes
(Wiley-VCH, 2014-01-29)
Unconjugated 2,5-dienals are more reactive substrates
than the corresponding fully conjugated a,b,g,dunsaturated
aldehydes towards organocatalytic activation
through trienamine intermediates. This difference in ...
Macrozooplankton predation impact on anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) eggs mortality at the Bay of Biscay shelf break spawning centre
(Oxford University Press, 2014-11-23)
A real-time PCR based method involving a species-specific probe was applied to detect Engraulis encrasicolus eggs predation by the macrozooplank-
ton community during the 2011 spawning season. Three locations along the ...
A real-time PCR assay to estimate invertebrate and fish predation on anchovy eggs in the Bay of Biscay
(Elsevier, 2014-12-12)
In order to investigate the role of predation on eggs and larvae in the recruitment of anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), sardine (Sardina pilchardus), sprat (Sprattus sprattus) and 52 macrozooplankton taxa were assayed for ...
Latitude error in compass deviation: mathematical method to determine the latitude error in magnetic compass deviation
(Gdansk University of Technology, 2014-10)
This article aims to provide the seafarer with a tool to calculate the deviation for a righted ship in any geographical
position using only the information available on board. In this way the accidental errors in the ...
Task-modality and L1 use in EFL oral interaction
(Sage, 2014-07-21)
[EN] This study examines whether task-modality (speaking vs. speaking+writing) influences first language (L1) use in task-based English as a foreign language (EFL) learner–learner interaction. Research on the topic has ...
