Physical stress modifies top-down and bottom-up forcing on plant growth and reproduction in a coastal ecosystem
(Ecological Society of America, 2015-08)
Bottom-up and top-down effects act together to exert strong control over plant growth and reproduction, but how physical stress modifies those interactive forces remains unclear. Even though empirical evidence is scarce, ...
Effect of triceps surae and quadriceps muscle fatigue on the mechanics of landing in stepping down in ongoing gait
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014-06-01)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of muscle fatigue of triceps surae and quadriceps muscles in stepping down in ongoing gait. We expected that the subjects would compensate for muscle fatigue to prevent ...
Influência da textura na preensão de indivíduos com Síndrome de Down
(Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUC-PR), 2010-06-01)
INTRODUÇÃO: Diversos estudos disponibilizam evidências sobre características do desempenho motor e cognitivo de indivíduos com Síndrome de Down (SD), porém poucos estudos analisam a força muscular nestes indivíduos. As ...
Multiscale sensing of antibody - antigen interactions by organic transistors and single-molecule force spectroscopy
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2015-05-01)
Antibody-antigen (Ab-Ag) recognition is the primary event at the basis of many biosensing platforms. In label-free biosensors, these events occurring at solid liquid interfaces are complex and often difficult to control ...
Synergies in the ground reaction forces and moments during double support in curb negotiation in young and older adults
(2020-06-09)
Falls that occur while negotiating steps are a leading cause of death in older adults. Although recent efforts have improved understanding of the mechanics and control of stepping behaviors, the double support phase during ...

Plant glandular trichomes mediate protective mutualism in a spider-plant system
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-08-01)
1. Although several species of Peucetia (Oxyopidae) live strictly in association with plants bearing glandular trichomes worldwide, to date little is known about whether these associations are mutualistic.2. In this study ...
Contrasting egg and larval performances help explain polyphagy in a florivorous butterfly

Climatological Characterization of Puelche Winds down the Western Slope of the Extratropical Andes Mountains Using the NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis
(2017)
The existence of strong easterly winds down the western slope of the south-central Andes in Chile, locally known as Puelche winds, has been known by the meteorological community since at least the mid-twentieth century. ...
Evaluation of the masticatory biomechanical function in Down syndrome and its Influence on sleep disorders, body adiposity and salivary parameters
(2020-08-01)
Objective: To evaluate the phenotypic features of the masticatory biomechanics in atypical subjects with Down syndrome (DS). Its influence was analysed on sleep disorders, body adiposity and its risks, and some physicochemical ...
