We aimed at evaluating the relationship of lean and fat mass to bone mass in osteoporotic postmenopausal women. We invited 65 women who were being treated at the Sao Paulo Hospital osteoporosis outpatients` clinic to ...

Egg mass production is costly, but hatching from heavier eggs could be beneficial for the nestling's phenotype and fitness. Egg mass could be influenced by proximate causes, like food abundance, female condition, environmental ...

We report observations of the total solar eclipse of 14 December 2020, during which a coronal mass ejection was seen to propagate. A comprehensive set of photographs covering a high dynamic range of exposure enabled ...

Skeletal muscle is the largest organ of the mature body having major contributions to endogenous amino acid supply, insulin-dependent glucose removal and total body energy expenditure. Muscle mass is a determinant of ...

Question: Do coexisting plant life forms differ in overall phenology, leaf traits and patterns of leaf litterfall? Location: Patagonian Monte, Chubut Province, Argentina. Methods: We assessed phenology, traits of green and ...

Egg masses of Nezara viridula (L.) are commonly parasitized by Trissolcus basalis (Woll.), and we investigated the role of size of egg masses on parasitization by T. basalis. Sentinel egg masses were exposed to parasitism ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the iron nutrient in a hydroponic system using arugula baby leaf (Astro variety) in two seasons, summer and winter, on the characteristics: leaf area, fresh mass of shoots ...

Galaxy group masses are important to relate these systems with the dark matter halo hosts. However, deriving accurate mass estimates is particularly challenging for low-mass galaxy groups. Moreover, calibration of observational ...
