Measured differential cross section with associated uncertainties as a function of COS(THETA*). Each systematic uncertainty sources is fully uncorrelated with the other sources and fully correlated across bins, except for the background modelling systematics for which an uncorrelated treatment across bins is more appropriate.
Bio-Waste Products of Mangifera indica L. Reduce Adipogenesis and Exert Antioxidant Effects on 3T3-L1 Cells
2022
Several studies highlighted the beneficial value of natural compounds in the prevention and treatment of obesity. Here, we investigated the anti-obesity effects of extracts of peel and seed of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cultivated in Sicily (Italy) in 3T3-L1 cells. Mango Peel (MPE) and Mango Seed (MSE) extracts at a 100 µg/mL concentration significantly reduced lipid accumulation and triacylglycerol contents during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation without toxicity. HPLC-ESI-MS analysis showed that both the extracts contain some polyphenolic compounds that can account for the observed biological effects. The anti-adipogenic effect of MPE and MSE was the result of down-regulation of th…
Skinning Measures with Potential on CAT(–1) Spaces
2019
In this chapter, we introduce skinning measures as weighted pushforwards of the Patterson{Sullivan densities associated with a potential to the unit normal bundles of convex subsets of a CAT(–1) space.
Whole-Genome Analyses
2014
Abstract Average nucleotide identity (ANI) was proposed almost 10 years ago as a means to compare genetic relatedness among prokaryotic strains. It was found that values around 95% corresponded to the 70% DNA–DNA hybridization cut-off value that is widely used to delineate archaeal and bacterial species. ANI calculations are one of the many aspects and approaches that can be derived from comparative genomic data and used for taxonomic purposes. Here, an overview about the impact and current usage of ANI values is given together with details of the existing user-friendly package tool, the biology-oriented software package JSpecies, which can be used to generate two types of ANI calculations …
Effects of stump removal on soil decomposer communities in undisturbed patches of the forest floor
2011
Soil preparation after clear-cutting leads to fragmentation of forest floor and, consequently, changes the habitat of decomposers. Stump removal for bioenergy is further increasing the disturbance in the soil. We studied responses of decomposers to stump removal in boreal spruce forests during the first 4 years after clear felling in relation to mounding. Samples for each decomposer organism group were taken from undisturbed forest floor patches that are the main habitat for decomposers after forest regeneration and whose amount and size obviously differ between the treatments. Microbial biomasses and community structure, and the abundance of enchytraeids, were not found to be affected by t…
Time trials versus time to exhaustion tests: Effects on critical 1 power, W′ and oxygen uptake kinetics
2017
Purpose: To investigate single-day time-to-exhaustion (TTE) and time trial (TT) based laboratory tests values of critical power (CP), Wprime (W') and respective oxygen kinetics responses. Methods: Twelve cyclists performed a maximal ramp test followed by three TTE and three TT efforts interspersed by a 60-min recovery between efforts. Oxygen uptake was measured during all trials. The mean response time (MRT) was calculated as a description of the overall V ̇O2 kinetic response from the onset to 2 min of exercise. Results: TTE determined CP was 279 ± 52W and TT determined CP was 276 ± 50W (P = 0.237). Values of W were 14.3 ± 3.4 kJ (TTE W') and 16.5± 4.2 kJ (TT W') (P = 0.028). Whilst a high…
Phantoms Used for Mapping of Skin Chromophores by Multi-spectral Imaging
2014
Skin phantoms can be used for better understanding of diffuse reflectance imaging of skin. In this study, skin phantoms of hemoglobin, bilirubin and melanin were developed and studied for possibilities to calibrate chromophore concentration values.
Fractura de Bennet con luxación metacarpofalángica del pulgar asociada
2002
Se presenta un raro caso de fractura de Bennett y luxación metacarpofalángica volar abierta del pulgar combinadas. La fractura de Bennett fue tratada mediante fijación percutánea con agujas. La luxación abierta volar fue reducida, y los ligamentos colaterales, los tendones extensores, y la cápsula dorsal, reparados quirúrgicamente. Cuatro semanas después apareció una infección de la articulación metacarpofalángica, que fue tratada mediante drenaje quirúrgico y antibioterapia. El daño resultante de esta articulación fue tratado mediante artrodesis con un fijador externo. We report a rare case of simultaneous Bennett's fracture and metacarpophalangeal open volar dislocation of the thumb. The …
Tumor desmoide extraabdominal en rodilla: a propósito de un caso
2014
Los tumores desmoides o fibromatosis agresiva son neoplasias de partes blandas muy poco frecuentes. Son localmente agresivos y recurrentes, aunque carecen de potencial metastásico. La forma extraabdominal es la más infrecuente y asienta habitualmente sobre la cintura pélvica o escapular. Presentamos el caso de una paciente a la que se le diagnosticó un tumor desmoide extraabdominal en la rodilla izquierda que se manifestó inicialmente como una tumoración dolorosa. Desmoid tumours or aggressive fibromatosis are rare neoplasm of soft tissues. They are locally aggressive and recurrent, although they have no metastatic potential. The extra-abdominal appearance is the less common and tumors are …
Fractura bilateral de epitroclea: a propósito de 1 caso
1996
Presentamos 1 caso infrecuente de fractura bilateral de epitroclea en un paciente varón de 15 años, tratado mediante osteosíntesis con agujas de Kirschner más transposición anterior de ambos nervios cubitales. We present an unfrequent case of bilateral fracture of the medial epicondyle, in a 15-year-old boy that was treated with Kirschner wires and anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve.
