Factores que afectan al análisis biológico de las muestras de agresiones sexuales
2007
El concepto multidisciplinar de Ciencias Forenses se ha consolidado en los últimos años integrando un amplio espectro de profesionales de distintas disciplinas que ha abierto nuevas áreas de trabajo, en la mayoría de las cuales la interpretación del resultado se basa en la comparación con un material de referencia. Este trabajo pretende exponer brevemente una revisión de la casuística de Delitos Contra la Libertad Sexual (DCLS) estudiados en los laboratorios de Biología Forense y evaluar el rendimiento de la prueba de ADN a lo largo de los años en dos aspectos: uno en las situaciones inherentes a la metodología y otro en lo que respecta al cotejo de los vestigios analizados con las muestras…
o-(Hydroxyalkyl)phenyl P-Chirogenic Phosphines as Functional Chiral Lewis Bases
2013
The stereoselective synthesis of P-chirogenic phosphines bearing an o-hydroxyalkyl chelating arm is described. The synthesis is based either on the hydroxyalkylation of P-chirogenic o-bromophenylphosphines (borane) or on their carbonatation and then reduction. The hydroxyalkylation with benzaldehyde or pivalaldehyde affords a mixture of epimers which are isolated by chromatography and characterized by their X-ray structures. Preliminary assays of free P-chirogenic o-(hydroxyalkyl)phenyl phosphines, as new functional Lewis bases in catalyzed asymmetric aza-MBH reaction, lead to β-aminoester derivatives with ee values up to 74%.
Binge Drinking: The Top 100 Cited Papers
2021
We conducted a review to analyze the 100 most-cited studies on binge drinking (BD) in the Web of Science (WoS) database to determine their current status and the aspects that require further attention. We carried out a retrospective bibliometric analysis in January 2021. The year of publication, authors, design, subject, journal, institution and lead author’s country, as well as the definition of BD, were extracted from the articles. The data on the country, year, thematic category of the journals and their rank were obtained from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Journal Citation Reports 2020. The number of citations was collected from the WoS, and the h index was collected fr…
Big Data in metagenomics: Apache Spark vs MPI.
2020
The progress of next-generation sequencing has lead to the availability of massive data sets used by a wide range of applications in biology and medicine. This has sparked significant interest in using modern Big Data technologies to process this large amount of information in distributed memory clusters of commodity hardware. Several approaches based on solutions such as Apache Hadoop or Apache Spark, have been proposed. These solutions allow developers to focus on the problem while the need to deal with low level details, such as data distribution schemes or communication patterns among processing nodes, can be ignored. However, performance and scalability are also of high importance when…
Digital epidemiology: assessment of measles infection through Google Trends mechanism in Italy.
2019
Introduction. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the temporal correlation between Google Trends and the data on measles infection arising from the conventional surveillance system, reported by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità's (ISS) bulletin. Moreover, this study is also aimed at forecasting the trends of the reported infectious diseases cases over time. Materials and Methods. The reported cases of measles were selected from January 2013 until October 2018. The data on Internet searches have been obtained from Google Trends; the research data referred to the first 48 weeks of year 2017 have been aggregated on a weekly basis. The search volume provided by Google Trends has a relat…
A distance metric on binary trees using lattice-theoretic measures
1990
A so called height function which is a strictly antitone supervaluation is defined on binary trees. Via lattice-theoretic results and using the height function, we can define a distance metric on binary trees of size n which can be computed in expected time O(n 3/2 )

Interesterification of rapeseed oil catalyzed by tin octoate
2014
The interesterification of rapeseed oil was performed for the first time by using tin octoate as Lewis acid homogeneous catalysts and methyl or ethyl acetate as acyl acceptors in a batch reactor, within the temperature range 393–483 K. The yields in fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) and triacetin (TA) after 20 h of reaction time increased from 8% and 2%–to 61% and 22%, respectively, when the reaction temperature increased from 423 to 483 K. An optimum value of 40 for the acyl acceptor to oil molar ratio was found to be necessary to match good fatty acid alkyl ester yields with high enough reaction rate. The rate of generation of esters was significantly higher when methyl acetate was used as a…
Sparse Manifold Clustering and Embedding to discriminate gene expression profiles of glioblastoma and meningioma tumors.
2013
Sparse Manifold Clustering and Embedding (SMCE) algorithm has been recently proposed for simultaneous clustering and dimensionality reduction of data on nonlinear manifolds using sparse representation techniques. In this work, SMCE algorithm is applied to the differential discrimination of Glioblastoma and Meningioma Tumors by means of their Gene Expression Profiles. Our purpose was to evaluate the robustness of this nonlinear manifold to classify gene expression profiles, characterized by the high-dimensionality of their representations and the low discrimination power of most of the genes. For this objective, we used SMCE to reduce the dimensionality of a preprocessed dataset of 35 single…
A summary of genomic databases: overview and discussion
2009
In the last few years both the amount of electronically stored biological data and the number of biological data repositories grew up significantly (today, more than eight hundred can be counted thereof). In spite of the enormous amount of available resources, a user may be disoriented when he/she searches for specific data. Thus, the accurate analysis of biological data and repositories turn out to be useful to obtain a systematic view of biological database structures, tools and contents and, eventually, to facilitate the access and recovery of such data. In this chapter, we propose an analysis of genomic databases, which are databases of fundamental importance for the research in bioinfo…
