Synthesis of keratine, silver, and flavonols nanocomposites to inhibit oxidative stress in pancreatic beta-cell (INS-1) and reduce intracellular reactive oxygen species production
(Elsevier, 2021)"Flavonols (FLA) from Vaccinium macrocarpon (V. macrocarpon) were identified using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry detection. Nanoparticles were prepared using highly crosslinked keratin ... -
Synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) films onto carbon steel by cathodic electrophoretic deposition: anticorrosive coating
(Elsevier, 2017-10)"The use of graphene based materials as anticorrosive coatings for the protection of metals is still a controversial subject worthy of debate. The electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is one of the most used techniques to ... -
Synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic performance of zinc oxide structured nanocomposites for the treatment of endocrine disrupting compounds in water
(2014-08)"El ZnO es un material no tóxico de bajo costo con un interesante potencial fotocatalítico en la degradación de contaminantes en medio acuoso. Sin embargo, su aplicación se encuentra limitada por su baja eficiencia, ... -
Synthesis, structural characterization and Cu(II) adsorption behavior of manganite (γ-MnOOH) nanorods
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)"New alternatives for the removal of transition metal ions that present an environmental risk are required. The chemical adsorption of these ions on surfaces with chemisorbent properties represents a promising area of ... -
Tailoring partially reduced graphene oxide as redox mediator for enhanced biotransformation of iopromide under methanogenic and sulfate-reducing conditions
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-01)"This work reports the first successful application of graphene oxide (GO) and partially reduced GO (rGO) as redox mediator (RM) to increase the biotransformation of the recalcitrant iodinated contrast medium, iopromide ... -
Tasas de establecimiento de plántulas de encinos (Quercus spp.) ante diferentes escenarios de cambio climático en ambientes templados
(2015-07)"Climate change is a phenomenon that threatens the distribution and maintenance of plant species and, in recent years, several studies have been conducted to predict the future atmospheric conditions. Because forest ... -
Technical note: application of geophysical tools for tree root studies in forest ecosystems in complex soils
(2017-11)"While semiarid forests frequently colonize rocky substrates, knowledge is scarce on how roots garner resources in these extreme habitats. The Sierra San Miguelito Volcanic Complex in central Mexico exhibits shallow soils ... -
Temporal analysis of butterfly diversity in a succession gradient in a fragmented tropical landscape of Mexico
(Elsevier, 2020)"We analyze changes in the diversity of butterflies under a scheme of secondary succession in a fragmented landscape of the Huasteca of Hidalgo, Mexico over two seasons (rainy and dry) and four successional stages (cattle ... -
Temporal and longitudinal biofilm matrix analysis of a biofilter treating ethyl acetate during ozonation
(Springer, 2018)"The present paper focuses on the biofilm composition and pattern of biomass in gas biofiltration of ethyl acetate working under continuous addition of ozone (O3). Two biofilters were operated for 230 days, one under ... -
Temporal and spatial variation of waterbirds at Sayula Lagoon, Jalisco, Mexico: a five-year winter season study
(Museu de Ciencies Naturals, 2018)"Wetlands in central Mexico are important habitats for assemblages of migratory and resident birds. To study variation in richness and abundance of waterbirds, we conducted monthly observations in 30 permanent plots ... -
The andean forest soil seed bank in two successional stages in northeastern Colombia
(2016-12)"Background: Soil seed banks play an important role in post-disturbance regeneration and succession of species from different successional stages. Questions: 1) What is the most effective method for determining the ... -
The contribution of dew and fog in the water balance of a continental semiarid grassland ecosystem
(2020-01)"In arid and semiarid regions, water scarcity plays an important role in determining the plant distribution, density, cover and productivity; it also controls many other biological processes. In these regions, different ... -
The relevance of burial to evade acorn predation in an oak forest affected by habitat loss and land use changes
(2014-06)"Seed burial was proposed as an effective mechanism to evade seed predation in continuous forests. However, the relevance of burial as a mechanism to evade seed predators may be compromised in fragmented forests intensely ... -
The role of eugenol and ferulic acid as the competitive inhibitors of transcriptional regulator RhlR in P. aeruginosa
(Elsevier, 2022)"Search inhibitors of Quorum Sensing (QS) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa are challenging to find therapies due to the broad antibiotic resistance. Therefore, this study aimed to probe ten aromatic compounds as inhibitors of ... -
The role of organic load and ammonia inhibition in anaerobic digestion of tannery fleshing
(Elsevier, 2018)"In this study, batch tests on anaerobic digestion of tannery fleshing (skin-residue waste from hides’ tanning process), as sole substrate, have been performed with the purpose of assessing the effects of high substrate ... -
The value of biotic pollination and dense forest for fruit set of Arabica coffee: A global assessment
(Elsevier, 2022)"Animal pollinators are globally threatened by anthropogenic land use change and agricultural intensification. The yield of many food crops is therefore negatively impacted because they benefit from biotic pollination. ... -
