(Table 1) Sea surface temperature reconstruction for eastern equatorial Pacific surface sediment samples

2012

Significant uncertainties persist in the reconstruction of past sea surface temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific, especially regarding the amplitude of the glacial cooling and the details of the post-glacial warming. Here we present the first regional calibration of alkenone unsaturation in surface sediments versus mean annual sea surface temperatures (maSST). Based on 81 new and 48 previously published data points, it is shown that open ocean samples conform to established global regressions of Uk'37 versus maSST and that there is no systematic bias from seasonality in the production or export of alkenones, or from surface ocean nutrient concentrations or salinity. The flattening…

Stability of phospholipase D in primary astrocytes.

2002

Induction of expression and proteolytic breakdown of phospholipase D (PLD) isoforms in primary astrocyte cultures have been investigated. Astrocytes express both PLD1 and 2 and are dependent on PLD activity for cell proliferation [K. Kotter, J. Klein, J. Neurochem. 73 (1999) 2517]. Competitive RT-PCR analysis demonstrated a higher level of PLD1 mRNA than PLD2 mRNA (8.9 vs. 0.9amol/microg RNA, respectively). Treatment of astroglial cultures with the phorbol ester, 4beta-phorbol-12beta,13alpha-dibutyrate (0.1 microM), for 24-48h selectively induced PLD1b but not PLD1a or 2 expression as shown by PCR and Western blot; the effect was sensitive to Go 6976. In cells transiently permeabilized with…

Efecto de la radiación ionizante persistente a bajas dosis en la angiogénesis del carcinoma renal de células claras : estudio morfométrico comparativ…

2013

La angiogénesis en el carcinoma de células renales claras (ccRCC) es un proceso influenciado por sustancias producidas en su mayoría por el tumor en respuesta a una reestructuración vascular necesaria en su etapa de crecimiento y metástasis. La exposición persistente a bajas dosis de radiación ionizante (CPLDIR) ha sido asociada a modificaciones nucleares que estimulan la proliferación celular neoplásica. Sus efectos en el proceso de neovascularización de los ccRCC han sido poco estudiados. Métodos: Estudiamos a través de un estudio morfométrico semiautomático e inmunohistoquímico, la densidad microvascular (MVD) y la expresión de factores angiogénicos en 124 pacientes con ccRCC de regiones…

High-quality superconducting titanium nitride thin film growth using infra-red pulsed laser deposition

2018

Superconducting titanium nitride (TiN) thin films were deposited on magnesium oxide, sapphire and silicon nitride substrates at 700 °C, using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique, where infrared (1064 nm) pulses from a solid-state laser were used for the ablation from a titanium target in a nitrogen atmosphere. Structural studies performed with x-ray diffraction showed the best epitaxial crystallinity for films deposited on MgO. In the best films, superconducting transition temperatures, T C, as high as 4.8 K were observed, higher than in most previous superconducting TiN thin films deposited with reactive sputtering. A room temperature resistivity down to ~17 μΩ cm and residual resist…
