Steppes, savannahs, forests and phytodiversity reservoirs during the Pleistocene in the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A palaeobotanical analysis of the Pleistocene floras and vegetation in the Iberian Peninsula shows the existence of patched landscapes with Pinus woodlands, deciduous and mixed forests, parklands (savannah-like), shrublands, steppes and grasslands ...

Rheology–Performance Framework for PA6/GO Nanocomposites via a Hybrid Processing Route

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Hybrid PA6/GO nanocomposites with tuned melt rheology and improved thermal–mechanical performance. ABSTRACT Balancing melt processability with stiffness and heat resistance remains a central challenge for PA6 nanocomposites. Here, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by a modified Hummers method and incorporated into PA6 via a hybrid route (solution ...

Rpt2 proteasome subunit reduction causes Parkinson's disease like symptoms in Drosophila

open access: yesIBRO Reports, 2020
The dysfunction of the proteasome-ubiquitin system is commonly reported in several neurodegenerative diseases. Post mortem samples of brains of patients with Parkinson´s disease present cytoplasmic inclusions that are rich in proteins such as ubiquitin ...

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

Structure and genetic diversity in wild and cultivated populations of Zapote mamey (Pouteria sapota, Sapotaceae) from southeastern Mexico: its putative domestication center [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Tropical fruit trees are an important component of the human diet; however, little is known about their genetic diversity levels. Zapote mamey (Pouteria sapota) is a tree native to southeastern Mexico and Central America, and Mexico is the leading ...

The protein composition of human adenovirus replication compartments

open access: yesmBio
Human adenoviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses that replicate in the cell nucleus and induce the formation of replication compartments (RCs) that are critical in viral replication and control of virus-host interactions.

Nicotine suppresses Parkinson’s disease like phenotypes induced by Synphilin-1 overexpression in Drosophila melanogaster by increasing tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine levels

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
It has been observed that there is a lower Parkinson’s disease (PD) incidence in tobacco users. Nicotine is a cholinergic agonist and is the principal psychoactive compound in tobacco linked to cigarette addiction.

Assessment of the Interaction between Ammonium Dinitramide and Isocyanurate Bonding Agents for Application on Technologies of Composite Solid Propellants

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
This work investigates the interaction of two isocyanurate‐based bonding agents with ammonium dinitramide: triallyl isocyanurate and 1,3,5‐tris(2‐hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate, which contain alkene and hydroxyl functional groups in their side chains, respectively.

Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...
