State and Training Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Brain Networks Reflect Neuronal Mechanisms of Its Antidepressant Effect. [PDF]

open access: yesNeural Plast, 2016
The topic of investigating how mindfulness meditation training can have antidepressant effects via plastic changes in both resting state and meditation state brain activity is important in the rapidly emerging field of neuroplasticity. In the present study, we used a longitudinal design investigating resting state fMRI both before and after 40 days of ...

Structural basis of binding and rationale for the potent urease inhibitory activity of biscoumarins. [PDF]

open access: yesBiomed Res Int, 2014
Urease belongs to a family of highly conserved urea‐hydrolyzing enzymes. A common feature of these enzymes is the presence of two Lewis acid nickel ions and reactive cysteine residue in the active sites. In the current study we examined a series of biscoumarins 1–10 for their mechanisms of inhibition with the nickel containing active sites of Jack bean

Demographic and spatially explicit landscape genomic analyses in a tropical oak reveal the impacts of late Quaternary climate change on Andean montane forests

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 12, Page 3182-3199, June 2023., 2023
Abstract The tropical Andes are one of the most important biodiversity hotspots on Earth, yet our understanding of how their biotas have responded to Quaternary climatic oscillations is extraordinarily limited and the alternative models proposed to explain their demographic dynamics have been seldom formally evaluated. Here, we test the hypothesis that

Causes of the recent decline of a Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) population under an enhanced conservation scenario

open access: yesIbis, Volume 165, Issue 2, Page 388-402, April 2023., 2023
Lesser Kestrel Falco naumanni (Fleischer, 1818) populations have been one of the best monitored bird populations in Spain over the last 70 years. These populations suffered a sharp decline between the 1950s and 1990s. Since then, periodic censuses showed a population increase that lasted until the 2010s.

“I see myself as a STEM person”: Exploring high school students' self‐identification with STEM

open access: yesJournal of Research in Science Teaching, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 720-745, May 2022., 2022
Abstract In the literature, STEM identity tends to be characterized either as students' relationship with the STEM field “as a whole,” or their relationship with a particular STEM area, such as science. With this study, we add to the existing scholarship by characterizing the profiles of students who identified themselves as “STEM people.” A 52‐item ...

Analysis of prospective early childhood education teachers' proposals of nature field trips: An educational experience to bring nature close during this stage

open access: yesScience Education, Volume 106, Issue 1, Page 172-198, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Nature field trips stand out as pedagogical experiences because of their benefits in science learning, even in early childhood education (ECE). However, previous studies have found that teachers often do not make use of their full educational potential.

An Accelerated‐Time Simulation of Queues at Ticket Offices at Railway Stations

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Although nowadays many railway tickets are bought online, still many are bought through rail appointed travel agents and ticket offices at stations. There are several works on microscopic and accelerated‐time simulations, some of them related to the topic of this paper, treating passengers movements in railway stations (both of general purpose and also

An Application of Knowledge Engineering to Mathematics Curricula Organization and Formal Verification

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
The authors present a theoretical proposal for the organization of mathematical contents, more precisely to curricula development formalization and formal verification, inspired by knowledge engineering techniques. The situation addressed is the following: the starting point is a mathematical “official curriculum” (or part of it), not necessarily ...
