Evaluating acoustic indices in the Valdivian rainforest, a biodiversity hotspot in South America
(2019)
Passive acoustic monitoring is becoming an extensively used tool to evaluate the status and variation of populations of sound producing animals. The analyses of extensive acoustic recordings for identification and detection ...
Is a brief self-report version of the Columbia severity scale useful for screening suicidal ideation in Chilean adolescents?
(2019)
Background: Given the high rates of suicide in the adolescent population and the reluctance of this population to seek help, developing proactive and effective strategies to timely detect individuals at high risk for suicide ...
Learning from transgenics: Advanced gene editing technologies should also bridge the gap with traditional genetic selection
(2019)
We highlight the importance of the mixed genetic approaches (classical and currents) to improve the social perception related to the GMOs acceptance. We pointed out that CRISPR/Cas9 events could carry DNA variability/rea ...
Monitoring urban environmental pollution by bivariate control charts: New methodology and case study in Santiago, Chile
(2019)
Particulate matter (PM) pollution is a serious environmental problem. Santiago of Chile is one of the most polluted cities in the world in terms of PM2.5 and PM10. Monitoring of environmental risk is useful for detecting ...
Association of leisure time and occupational physical activity with obesity and cardiovascular risk factors in Chile
(2019)
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between physical activity (PA), both occupational (OPA) and during leisure time (LTPA), with obesity and cardiovascular risk factors in Chilean adults. 5,157 ...
How do consumers perceive reformulated foods after the implementation of nutritional warnings? Case study with frankfurters in Chile
(2019)
Nutritional warnings have emerged as a promising front-of-package nutrition labelling scheme to discourage consumption of products with high content of nutrients associated with non-communicable diseases. One of the ...
Coenzyme Q production by metabolic engineered Escherichia coli strains in defined medium
(2019)
Coenzyme Q (CoQ) plays an important role as an electron transporter in the respiratory chain. It is formed from a benzoquinone ring and an isoprenoid chain of a specific length depending on the organism. We constructed an ...
Microscopic entropy of higher-dimensional nonminimally dressed Lifshitz black holes
(2019)
In arbitrary dimension, we consider a theory described by the most general quadratic curvature corrections of Einstein gravity together with a self-interacting nonminimally coupled scalar field. This theory is shown to ...
A simultaneous blow-up problem arising in tumor modeling
(2019)
Although macrophages are part of the human immune system, it has been remarkably observed in laboratory experiments that decreasing its number can slow down the tumor progression. We analyze through a recently mathematical ...
