Non-invasive diagnosis of viability in seeds and lichens by infrared thermography under controlled environmental conditions
(BMC, 2019-12)
Background: Non-invasive procedures for the diagnosis of viability of plant or fungal tissues would be valuable for scientific, industrial and biomonitoring purposes. Previous studies showed that infrared thermography (IRT) ...
Influence of Upconversion Processes in the Optically-Induced Inhomogeneous Thermal Behavior of Erbium-Doped Lanthanum Oxysulfide Powders
(MDPI, 2016-05-11)
The efficient infrared-to-visible upconversion emission present in Er-doped lanthanum oxysulfide crystal powders is used as a fine thermal sensor to determine the influence of upconversion processes on the laser-induced ...
Can environmental constraints determine random patterns of plant species co-occurrence?
(Wiley Blackwell, 2015-03)
Plant community ecologists use the null model approach to infer assembly processes from observed patterns of species co-occurrence. In about a third of published studies, the null hypothesis of random assembly cannot be ...
Can Parietin Transfer Energy Radiatively to Photosynthetic Pigments?
(MDPI, 2018-07)
The main role of lichen anthraquinones is in protection against biotic and abiotic stresses, such as UV radiation. These compounds are frequently deposited as crystals outside the fungal hyphae and most of them emit visible ...
Early-warning signals of individual tree mortality based on annual radial growth
(Frontiers, 2019)
Tree mortality is a key driver of forest dynamics and its occurrence is projected to increase in the future due to climate change. Despite recent advances in our understanding of the physiological mechanisms leading to ...
Insights into mechanism kinematics for protein motion simulation
(Biomed Central, 2014-06-12)
Background: The high demanding computational requirements necessary to carry out protein motion simulations make it difficult to obtain information related to protein motion. On the one hand, molecular dynamics simulation ...
Executing SADI services in Galaxy
(Biomed Central, 2014-09-22)
Background: In recent years Galaxy has become a popular workflow management system in bioinformatics, due to its ease of installation, use and extension. The availability of Semantic Web-oriented tools in Galaxy, however, ...
Predictive Models for Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors Among Spanish University Students: Rationale and Methods of the Universal (University & Mental Health) Project
(Biomed Central, 2016-05-04)
Background: Suicide is a leading cause of death among young people. While suicide prevention is considered a research and intervention priority, longitudinal data is needed to identify risk and protective factors associate ...
Global functioning among middle-aged patients with chronic schizophrenia: the role of medication, working memory and verbal comprehension
(Universidad de Murcia, 2019-05)
The chronic phase of schizophrenia is characterized by illness progression and patients encountering difficulties to return to premorbid level of functioning. The objective of this study was to describe the characteristics ...
Alcohol-Related Brain Damage in Humans
(Public Library Science, 2014-04-03)
Chronic excessive alcohol intoxications evoke cumulative damage to tissues and organs. We examined prefrontal cortex (Brodmann's area (BA) 9) from 20 human alcoholics and 20 age, gender, and postmortem delay matched control ...
