(2021-02-16)"Las epífitas son plantas que crecen sobre otras plantas simplemente como soporte físico; estas plantas no se adhieren al suelo u otra fuente obvia de nutrientes y no son parásitas de las plantas hospederas o forofitos. ... -
Improved reductive transformation of iopromide by magnetite containing reduced graphene oxide nanosacks as electron shuttles
(Elsevier, 2019)"The novel application of magnetite containing reduced graphene oxide nanosacks (MrGO-N) as electron shuttles to improve the reductive degradation of the pharmaceutical pollutant, iopromide (IOP), was evaluated. MrGO-N ... -
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 ... -
Influence of protons on reduction degree and defect formation in electrochemically reduced graphene oxide
(Elsevier, 2019)"The electrochemical reduction of GO was investigated in aqueous, at both acid and basic pH, and organic media, to identify the possible role of protons (H+) in the reduction mechanism of this material. The obtained rGO ... -
Seasonal Precipitation Legacy Effects Determine the Carbon Balance of a Semiarid Grassland
(Wiley, 2019)"Semiarid grasslands are water‐limited ecosystems where precipitation (PPT) controls the onset and duration of the growing season; however, this variable does not fully explain interannual variability of productivity at ... -
Fenología, sincronía floral y éxito reproductivo de Neolloydia conoidea (Cactaceae)
(Sociedad Botánica de México, 2019)"Antecedentes: Los estudios sobre los patrones de floración, sincronía floral y éxito reproductivo en cactáceas son incipientes y de muchas especies se desconoce prácticamente su biología reproductiva como ocurre con ... -
Enfoque biotecnológico para la valorización de emisiones: Conversión biológica de estireno a polihidroxialcanoatos en biorreactores de partición
(2020-11-24)"El estireno es utilizado en procesos para fabricar plástico reforzado, caucho sintético y resinas, de los cuales una parte del estireno se volatiliza y libera a la atmósfera. En México, la legislación no incentiva el ... -
Evaluación de técnicas de restauración en encinares con disturbios antropogénicos mediante la abundancia y actividad de bacterias fijadoras de nitrógeno y mineralizadoras de fósforo.
(2020-11-18)"Los bosques de encinos son uno de los ecosistemas más afectados por el cambio de uso de suelo hacia actividades agropecuarias. Como consecuencia de estas actividades, tenemos una alta incidencia de luz solar, suelo de ... -
Estrategias para optimizar la producción de hidrógeno y metano a partir de biomasa microalgal
(2020)"Actualmente, los biocombustibles derivados de microalgas son tecnologías en desarrollo y su comercialización aún no ha sido establecida. Por otro lado, la producción de biogás mediante la digestión anaerobia es una ... -
Scientific literature on invasive alien species in a megadiverse country: advances and challenges in Mexico
