Human density modulates spatial associations among tropical forest terrestrial mammal species
Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 24, Page 7205-7216, December 2022., 2022 We assess 1,216 species pairs in 13 protected tropical forests around the world to ask: How do broad‐scale environmental and anthropogenic factors predict mammal interspecific spatial associations based on ecological similarity. This question provides insight into potential changes in species interaction, ecosystem functions, and extinction risk in ...

Representative identification of spectra and environments (RISE) using k‐means
Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 200-211, February 2021., 2021 We present a classification method for solar spectra, defining 18 representative spectra to reproduce the spectral impact on energy yield for various solar cell technologies and locations. We implement the spectrum set with an LED IV tester to capture spectral impacts experimentally.

Scientific shortcomings in environmental impact statements internationally
People and Nature, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 369-379, June 2020., 2020 Abstract Governments around the world rely on environmental impact assessment (EIA) to understand the environmental risks of proposed developments. To examine the basis for these appraisals, we examine the output of EIA processes in jurisdictions within seven countries, focusing on scope (spatial and temporal), mitigation actions and whether impacts ...

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 Chronic UVB exposure promotes oxidative stress, directly causes molecular damage, and induces aging‐related signal transduction, leading to skin photoaging. Dihydrocaffeic acid (DHCA) is a phenolic compound with potential antioxidant capacity and is thus a promising compound for the prevention of UVB‐induced skin photodamage.

Journal of Thyroid Research, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Background. Recent data have suggested that polymorphisms in the length of the polyalanine tract (polyA) of FOXE1 gene may act as a susceptibility factor for thyroid dysgenesis. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of polyA of FOXE1 gene on the risk of thyroid dysgenesis. Method. A case‐control study was conducted in a sample

BioMed Research International, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 This study reports the activity induced by (1E,4E)‐2‐methyl‐1,5‐bis(4‐nitrophenyl)penta‐1,4‐dien‐3‐one (A3K2A3) against Trypanosoma cruzi. This compound showed trypanocidal activity against the multiplicative epimastigote and amastigote forms of this protozoan, with IC50 values of 1.99 ± 0.17 and 1.20 ± 0.16 μM, respectively, and EC50 value of 15.57 ...
