The crustal structure around the Islas Marías Archipelago has been debated for a long time. An important unresolved question is where the Rivera-North American plate subduction ends and the Tamayo fracture zone begins...
OBJECTIVE: ITPR3, encoding inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 3, was previously reported as a potential candidate disease gene for Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy. Here, we present genetic and functional evidence that...
Based on a case study comparing different approaches for management of organic waste generated in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this study proposes the combination of consequential lifecycle assessment (CLCA) and...
We present a fast, novel image-based technique, for reverse engineering woven fabrics at a yarn level. These models can be used in a wide range of interior design and visual special effects applications. In order to recover our...
The purpose of this study was to examine the presence and strength of the association between stigma and mental health for people of color in the U.S. via a meta-analytic approach.
We study the fate of quantum correlations at finite temperature in the two
dimensional toric code using the logarithmic entanglement negativity. We are
able to obtain exact results that give us insight into how thermal...
BACKGROUND: The study of cell metabolism is becoming central in several fields such as biotechnology, evolution/adaptation and human disease investigations. Here we present CiliateGEM, the first metabolic network reconstruction...
Realistic model Hamiltonians for quantum spin liquids frequently exhibit a large separation of energy scales between their elementary excitations. At intermediate, experimentally relevant temperatures, some excitations are...
Bacterial phenotypic traits and lifestyles in response to diverse environmental conditions depend on changes in the internal molecular environment. However, predicting bacterial adaptability is still difficult outside of...
This article examines the impact of Mexican eugenics on different programs relating to the familythroughout the postRevolutionary period. It deals with how Mexican elites thought about thefamily and how these discussions...
BACKGROUND: Genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolic variations shape the complex adaptation landscape of bacteria to varying environmental conditions. Elucidating the genotype-phenotype relation paves the way for the prediction...
Most solid tumors contain aneuploid cells, indicating that the mitotic checkpoint is permissive to the proliferation of chromosomally aberrant cells. However, mutated or altered expression of mitotic checkpoint genes accounts...
Within the period of industrialization and modernization of Puerto Rico (1940-1970) occurred many elements that contributed to a change of ideas about reproduction and the clinic as a disciplinary device. In this article we will...
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by degeneration of both upper and lower motor neuron located in the spinal cord and brainstem. Diagnosis of ALS is predominantly...
Set in 2218, the novel Eugenia envisions a contradictory utopian and dystopian future premised upon eugenical engineering. Here, I analyse Urzaiz's vision of the beginnings of eugenics in Mexico. Ultimately, I argue that...
The distribution of sensory bristles on the thorax of Diptera (true flies) provides a useful model for the study of the evolution of spatial patterns. Large bristles called macrochaetes are arranged into species-specific...
The song system of oscine songbirds consists of the auditory and motor pathways used in the acquisition and production of learned song and provides powerful material for the study of neuronal and behavioral plasticity, both...
We study two random processes on an $n$-vertex graph inspired by the internal diffusion limited aggregation (IDLA) model. In both processes $n$ particles start from an arbitrary but fixed origin. Each particle performs a simple...
