Cytokinins are involved in drought tolerance of Pinus radiata plants originating from embryonal masses induced at high temperatures
Vegetative propagation through somatic embryogenesis is an effective method to produce elite varieties and can be applied as a tool to study the response of plants to different stresses. Several studies show that environmental ... -
Deletion of the GI-2 integrase and the wbkA flanking transposase improves the stability of Brucella melitensis Rev 1 vaccine
Brucella melitensis Rev 1 is the best vaccine available for the prophylaxis of small ruminant brucellosis and, indirectly, for reducing human brucellosis. However, Rev 1 shows anomalously high rates of spontaneous dissociation ... -
Description of bow-tie nanoantennas excited by localized emitters using conformal transformation
The unprecedented advance experienced by nano- fabrication techniques and plasmonics research over the past few years has made possible the realization of nanophotonic systems entering into the so-called strong coupling ... -
Design and implementation of a feasible model for the IoT based ubiquitous healthcare monitoring system for rural and urban areas
The Internet of Things (IoT) based real-time health monitoring system has contributed towards a brilliant human welfare both in urban and rural areas. Many of such solutions are not well applicable in developing countries ... -
Design of an immersive virtual reality framework to enhance the sense of agency using affective computing technologies
Virtual Reality is expanding its use to several fields of application, including health and education. The continuous growth of this technology comes with new challenges related to the ways in which users feel inside these ... -
Design of high gain base station antenna array for mm-wave cellular communication systems
Millimeter wave (mm-Wave) wireless communication systems require high gain antennas to overcome path loss effects and thereby enhance system coverage. This paper presents the design and analysis of an antenna array for ... -
Determinants and tools to evaluate the ecological sustainability of using forest biomass as an alternative energy source
Forest biomass, the most ancient of fuels, is again in the center of renewable energy production. This chapter provides an introductory view of the main factors that condition the ecological sustainability of this energy ... -
Deterministic wireless channel characterization towards the integration of communication capabilities to enable context aware industrial internet of thing environments
In order to provide interactive capabilities within the context of Internet of Thing (IoT) applications, wireless communication systems play a key role, owing to in-herent mobility, ubiquity and ease of deployment. However, ... -
Development of a genetic risk score to predict the risk of hypertension in european adolescents from the HELENA study
Introduction: From genome wide association study (GWAS) a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have previously been associated with blood pressure (BP) levels. A combination of SNPs, forming a genetic ... -
Development of energy management strategies for the sizing of a fast charging station for electric buses
The electric vehicle contributes to reduce greenhouse gases emissions and get a greater integration of renewable energy. In this context, the implementation of urban buses implies the development of new grid infrastructures ... -
Differences in brain volume between metabolically healthy and unhealthy overweight and obese children: the role of fitness
The aim of this study was to examine whether metabolically healthy overweight/obese children have greater global and regional gray matter volumes than their metabolically unhealthy peers. We further examined the association ... -
Differences in specific abdominal fat depots between metabolically healthy and unhealthy children with overweight/obesity: the role of cardiorespiratory fitness
Objectives: Fat depots localization has a critical role in the metabolic health status of adults. Nevertheless, whether that is also the case in children remains under- studied. Therefore, the aims of this study were: (i) ... -
Distributed humidity sensor for moisture-front monitoring in soils
In this contribution, high spatial resolution distributed humidity sensing was demonstrated for moisture-front monitoring in soils by using polyimide coated optical fiber. -
Distributed opportunistic wireless mapping system towards smart city service provision
The knowledge of wireless signal distribution within an urban scenario can provide useful information to users as well as to enhance connectivity and device operation or to perform municipal logistics based on crowd density ... -
Double-port slotted-antenna with multiple miniaturized radiators for wideband wireless communication systems and portable devices
Proof-of-concept is presented of a novel slot antenna structure with two excitation ports. Although this antenna provides a wide impedance bandwidth, its peak gain and optimum radiation efficiency are observed at its ... -
Douglas-fir radial growth in interior British Columbia can be linked to long-term oscillations in Pacific and Atlantic sea surface temperatures
A major problem in modern dendrochronology is that the methods traditionally used for linking tree ring growth data to climate records are not well suited to reconstructing low-frequency climatic variations. In this study, ... -
Drought stress provokes the down-regulation of methionine and ethylene biosynthesis pathways in Medicago truncatula roots and nodules
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is one of the first physiological processes inhibited in legume plants under water-deficit conditions. Despite the progress made in the last decades, the molecular mechanisms behind this ... -
Drought-induced changes in wood density are not prevented by thinning in Scots pine stands
Density is an important wood mechanical property and an indicator of xylem architecture and hydraulic conductivity. It can be influenced by forest management and climate. We studied the impact of thinning and climate ... -
Early predictors of employment status one year post injury in individuals with traumatic brain injury in Europe
Sustaining a traumatic brain injury (TBI) often affects the individual's ability to work, reducing employment rates post-injury across all severities of TBI. The objective of this multi-country study was to assess the most ... -
Ecophysiological roles of abaxial anthocyanins in a perennial understorey herb from temperate deciduous forests
Accumulation of abaxial anthocyanins is an intriguing leaf trait particularly common among deeply shaded understorey plants of tropical and temperate forests whose ecological significance is still not properly understood. To ...
