Primary productivity in cities and their influence over subtropical bird assemblages
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2017-08)
Changes in ecosystem structure caused by urbanization produce a reduction in photosynthetic productivity, which can lead to reductions in resource availability for birds. Here, we analyzed the relation between photosynthetic ...
Strawberry agro-industrial by-products as a source of bioactive compounds: effect of cultivar on the phenolic profile and the antioxidant capacity
(Springer, 2021-12)
The post-harvest processing of strawberries generates considerable amounts of by-products that consist of the inedible parts of the fruit (sepal, calyx, stem, and non-marketable portion of the fruit), which is an environmental ...
Gas-phase degradation of 2-butanethiol initiated by OH radicals and Cl atoms: Kinetics, product yields and mechanism at 298 K and atmospheric pressure
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-07)
Relative rate coefficients and product distribution of the reaction of 2-butanethiol (2butSH) with OH radicals and Cl atoms were obtained at atmospheric pressure and 298 K. The experiments were performed in a 480 L ...
Some positive effects of the fragmentation of holm oak forests: Attenuation of water stress and enhancement of acorn production
(Elsevier Science, 2016-06)
The effects of fragmentation on acorn production should be mediated by their impacts on the physiological status of oaks during seed development particularly in water-limited systems, such as Mediterranean forests. The ...
Cell death is counteracted by mitophagy in HIV-productively infected astrocytes but is promoted by inflammasome activation among non-productively infected cells
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-11)
Despite more than 30 years of extensive research efforts, a complete understanding of the neurological consequences of HIV central nervous system (CNS) infection remains elusive. HIV is not only able to establish a viral ...
A summary of the available technologies for biodiesel production based on a comparison of different feedstock's properties
(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2012-05)
Biodiesel production is mainly done by carrying on the transesterification reaction while using refined oil, methanol and a homogeneous base catalyst. When using refined oil, a competition between oil for food and oil for ...
Fungal biofilms as a valuable target for the discovery of natural products that cope with the resistance of medically important fungi—Latest findings
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-09)
The development of new antifungal agents that target biofilms is an urgent need. Natural products, mainly from the plant kingdom, represent an invaluable source of these entities. The present review provides an update ...
The role of cyclodextrinase and glucose oxidase in obtaining gluten-free laminated baked products
(Springer, 2018-08)
Currently, there is a general awareness of the need of having affordable and tasty gluten-free food. However, the food market does not offer baked products of laminated conformation. The aim of this work was to study the ...
Glyphosate Alters Aboveground Net Primary Production, Soil Organic Carbon, and Nutrients in Pampean Grasslands (Argentina)
(Society for Range Management, 2018-01)
We have previously demonstrated that recurrent application of glyphosate causes dramatic shift in the vegetation structure of the native grasslands of Flooding Pampa. As these structural changes might alter functional ...
Enteropathogenic (EPEC) and Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) in broiler chickens and derived products at different retail stores
(Elsevier, 2012-02)
Enteropathogenic (EPEC) and Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) are foodborne pathogens that cause potentially fatal infant diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome, respectively. We investigated the presence of intimin ...
