Ethnic characterization of a population of children exposed to high doses of arsenic via drinking water and a possible correlation with metabolic processes
(e-Century Publishing Corporation, 2014-02-17)
Because the ratio between the two major arsenic metabolites is related to the adverse health effects of arsenic, numerous studies have been performed to establish a relationship between the ability to metabolically detoxify ...
Toward Male Individualization with Rapidly Mutating Y-Chromosomal Short Tandem Repeats
(Wiley Periodicals, 2014-08)
Relevant for various areas of human genetics, Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) are commonly used for testing close paternal relationships among individuals and populations, and for male lineage identification. ...
Fluvial response to sudden input of pyroclastic sediments during the 2008-2009 eruption of the Chaitén Volcano (Chile) : the role of logjams
(Elsevier, 2014-06-02)
The rhyolitic Plinian eruption of the Chilean Chaiten Volcano, initiated on May 2, 2008, suddenly introduced abundant pyroclastic sediments in the Blanco River catchment area, which experienced important modifications. ...
Evaluation of the satiating properties of a nutraceutical product containing Garcinia cambogia and Ascophyllum nodosum extracts in healthy volunteers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-04)
A nutraceutical product composed of a combination of Garcinia cambogia, L-carnitine and a seaweed extract of Ascophyllum nodosum has been recently developed. The aim of the present study was to characterize its effects on ...
Mineralogy, geochemistry and paleohistology of pliocene mammals from the monte hermoso formation (argentina). paedotherium bonaerense (notoungulata, hegetotheriidae) as a case study
(A Gondwanan Paleontological Journal, 2014)
We describe and analyze the mineralogical, geochemical and paleohistological characteristics present in hemimandibles of Paedotherium bonaerense (Ameghino) (Mammalia, Notoungulata, Hegetotheriidae). Remains were recovered ...
Taphonomic analysis of rodent bone accumulations produced by the White-tailed Kite (Elanus leucurus, Accipitriformes) in Central Argentina
(Elsevier, 2014-09-16)
The main objective of this study was to determine the taphonomic characteristics of ingested rodent prey remains recovered from White-tailed Kite (Elanus leucurus, Accipitriformes) pellets. Bones were analyzed in order to ...
Preserved flora and organics in impact melt breccias
(Geology, 2014-06)
Impact cratering can destroy life from local to global scales and result in sudden turnovers of dominant genera and/or species. Here we report that it can also preserve components of the local biology present at the time ...
The presence of Argas keiransi Estrada-Peña, Venzal & González- Acuña, 2003 (Acari: Argasidae) in Argentina
(Systematic and Applied Acarology Society, 2014-12-01)
On-line flow injection solid phase extraction using oxidised carbon nanotubes as the substrate for cold vapour-atomic absorption determination of Hg(II) in different kinds of water
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-02-13)
A study was carried out to investigate the concentrations of Hg(II) in different categories of water samples at ng L-1 levels. The capabilities of oxidised carbon nanotubes (ox-CNTs) were studied to assess if this substrate ...
