Food-type may jeopardize biomarker interpretation in mussels used in aquatic toxicological experimentation
(Public Library Science, 2019-08-05)
To assess the influence of food type on biomarkers, mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) were maintained under laboratory conditions and fed using 4 different microalgae diets ad libitum for 1 week: (a) Isochrysis galbana; ...
Novel biodegradable and non-fouling systems for controlled-release based on poly(ε-caprolactone)/Quercetin blends and biomimetic bacterial S-layer coatings
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-08-05)
Quercetin is a strong antioxidant with low bioavailability due to its high crystallinity. A further drawback is that Quercetin has potentially toxic effects at high concentrations. To improve this low water solubility, as ...
Continuous changes of variables and the Magnus expansion
(IOP, 2019-09-23)
In this paper, we are concerned with a formulation of Magnus and Floquet-Magnus expansions for general nonlinear differential equations. To this aim, we introduce suitable continuous variable transformations generated by ...
Synthesis of Redox Polymer Nanoparticles Based on Poly(vinylcatechols) and Their Electroactivity
(American Chemical Society, 2019-11-12)
Organic materials are being investigated as an alternative to inorganic cathodes in lithium batteries with the promise of higher sustainability as well as increased theoretical capacity. Among organic materials, redox ...
Contribution of the GABAergic System to Non-Motor Manifestations in Premotor and Early Stages of Parkinson’s Disease
(Frontiers Media, 2019-10-30)
Non-motor symptoms are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and they represent a major source of disease burden. Several non-motor manifestations, such as rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, olfactory loss, ...
Eppur non si muove: Experimental evidence for the Unaccusative Hypothesis and distinct ɸ-feature processing in Basque
(Ubiquity Press, 2019-11)
The Unaccusative Hypothesis (UH) has been extensively studied in linguistics, but, to date, it has not been tested by means of ERPs. The present study aimed to experimentally test the UH hypothesis in Basque and determine ...
Decline in fertility induced by economic recession in Spain
(2019-10)
OBJECTIVE: To describe trends in fertility in Spain before (pre-recession; 1998-2008) and during (recession period; 2009-2013) the economic crisis of 2008, taking into account women's age and regional unemployment in ...
Linking Biophysical and Economic Assessments of Ecosystem Services for a Social-Ecological Approach to Conservation Planning: Application in a Biosphere Reserve (Biscay, Spain)
(MDPI, 2019-06-01)
The search for a balance between nature conservation and sustainable development remains a scientific and spatial planning challenge. In social-ecological systems based on traditional rural activities and associated with ...
Membrane Permeabilization by Pore-Forming RTX Toxins: What Kind of Lesions Do These Toxins Form?
(MDPI, 2019-06-18)
Pore-forming toxins (PFTs) form nanoscale pores across target membranes causing cell death. The pore-forming cytolysins of the RTX (repeats in toxin) family belong to a steadily increasing family of proteins characterized ...
