(National Academy of Science, 2022)"The bright-field (BF) optical microscope is a traditional bioimaging tool that has been recently tested for depth discrimination during evaluation of specimen morphology; however, existing approaches require dedicated ... -
Impact of Drought and Groundwater Quality on Agriculture in a Semi-Arid Zone of Mexico
(MDPI, 2022)"This paper analyzes the behavior of drought in the face of the impact of climate change and groundwater quality and its implications for agricultural production in a semi-arid area of northeastern Mexico. The pluviometric ... -
Distribution Patterns of Invasive Buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) in Mexico Estimated with Climate Niche Models under the Current and Future Climate
(MDPI, 2022)"In Mexico, buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) was introduced in the middle of the 20th century. Currently, buffelgrass has become an invasive species and has colonized various ecosystems in the country. In addition to its ... -
Linearolactone Induces Necrotic-like Death in Giardia intestinalis Trophozoites: Prediction of a Likely Target
(MDPI, 2022)"Linearolactone (LL) is a neo-clerodane type diterpene that has been shown to exert giardicidal effects; however, its mechanism of action is unknown. This work analyzes the cytotoxic effect of LL on Giardia intestinalis ... -
Chlorophyll measurements in Alstroemeria sp. using SPAD-502 meterand the color space CIE L*a*b*, and its validation in foliar senescence
(Institute of Experimental Botany, 2022)"Our research aimed to study the correlation between the SPAD-502 readings and the color space CIE L*a*b* values in two cultivars of Alstroemeria sp. during leaf senescence and to evaluate the statistical criteria used in ... -
Neuropharmacological Activities of Ceiba aesculifolia (Kunth) Britten & Baker f (Malvaceae)
(MDPI, 2022)"Ceiba aesculifolia (Kunth) Britten & Baker f (Malvaceae) is used for the folk treatment of mood disorders. C. aesculifolia bark was extracted in ethanol, and the extract (CAE) was chemically standardized using gas ... -
Synthesis, In Vitro, In Vivo and In Silico Antidiabetic Bioassays of 4-Nitro(thio)phenoxyisobutyric Acids Acting as Unexpected PPAR? Modulators: An In Combo Study
(MDPI, 2022)"Four isobutyric acids (two nitro and two acetamido derivatives) were prepared in two steps and characterized using spectral analysis. The mRNA concentrations of PPAR? and GLUT-4 (two proteins documented as key diabetes ... -
Understanding the Anti-Diarrhoeal Properties of Incomptines A and B: Antibacterial Activity against Vibrio cholerae and Its Enterotoxin Inhibition
(MDPI, 2022)"Incomptines A (IA) and B (IB) are two sesquiterpene lactones with antiprotozoal, antibacterial, cytotoxic, antitumor, spermicidal, and phytotoxic properties. The antibacterial activity of IA and IB against bacteria causing ... -
A diverse Ediacara assemblage survived under low-oxygen conditions
(Springer Nature, 2022)"The Ediacaran biota were soft-bodied organisms, many with enigmatic phylogenetic placement and ecology, living in marine environments between 574 and 539 million years ago. Some studies hypothesize a metazoan affinity and ... -
Calculation of conic constants for thick lenses to get diffraction-limited images using 3rd order design and marginal skew ray tracing
(Elsevier, 2022)"We calculate equations to obtain the exact and third-order design of thick lenses free from spherical and coma aberrations at two points, at the edge and center of the lens, considering the shape factor and the conic ... -
Author Correction: MiDAS 4: A global catalogue of full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences and taxonomy for studies of bacterial communities in wastewater treatment plants

Expanding the Study of the Cytotoxicity of Incomptines A and B against Leukemia Cells
(MDPI, 2022)"Heliangolide-type sesquiterpene lactones (HTSLs) are phytocompounds with several pharmacological activities including cytotoxic and antitumor activity. Both bioactivities are related to an ?-methylene-?-lactone moiety and ... -
Vanishing Poynting Observers and Electromagnetic Field Classification in Kerr and Kerr-Newman Spacetimes
(Hindawi, 2022)"We consider electromagnetic fields having an angular momentum density in a locally nonrotating reference frame in Schwarzschild, Kerr, and Kerr-Newman spacetimes. The nature of such fields is assessed with two families ... -
MiDAS 4: A global catalogue of full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences and taxonomy for studies of bacterial communities in wastewater treatment plants
(Springer Nature, 2022)"Microbial communities are responsible for biological wastewater treatment, but our knowledge of their diversity and function is still poor. Here, we sequence more than 5 million high-quality, full-length 16S rRNA gene ... -
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 ... -
Method for CaOx crystals isolation from plant leaves
