Ecology, biogeography and conservation biology, among other disciplines, often rely on species identity, distribution abundance to perceive explain patterns in space time. Yet, are not independent units the way they interact with their environment. Species perform similar roles networks ecosystems, at least partial redundancy or difference of might co-existence, competitive exclusion reflected ...

proteins are not only considered as a nutritional source but also are responsible for a number of functional properties such as solubility, emulsification, foaming capacity and gel formation in food products. however, insolubility of the proteins (as can be seen in gluten) and therefore their insufficient functional properties have created some limita-tions for their incorporation in formulated...

epigenetics alterations, especially dna methylation, play a critical role in control of gene expressions. abnormal patterns of methylation are observed in early-stages of many cancers. therefore, methylation analysis is useful in primary detection of tumors. advances knowledge about the functional role of aberrant epigenetic modifications as potential biomarkers for cancer, have attracted consi...

Patterns distill successful experience in solving common software problems. We introduce a handful of new software design patterns for functional logic languages. Some patterns are motivated by the evolution of the paradigm in the last 10 years. Following usual approaches, for each pattern we propose a name and we describe its intent, applicability, structure, consequences, etc. Our patterns de...
