This study proposes the use of genetic analysis as a complementary method for species identification in genus Pinus, particularly cases where anatomical is challenging. Pinus were grouped based on similarities, and efficacy using ycf1b, which most variable identification, rbcL, suggested DNA barcode land plants, was evaluated within each group. Sequences obtained from National Center Biotechnol...

Abstract Background Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is an early-onset neurodevelopmental that can extend into adulthood with multiple reported neuroimaging abnormalities. The focus of this research was to assess white matter impairments in ADHD children’s fathers and without potential adult see if these differences are connected the persistence . Results occurrence rate diagnosi...

The use of microalgae as natural biofertilizer in horticulture has recently been reported, while the humic substances is widespread. However, combined with applied to plant leaves still unexploited. Thus, objective this work was combine fulvic acid (FA) Scenedesmus subspicatus microalga biomass (SC) a via leaf two onion cultivars organic system. Four experiments were conducted: i) bioassays ver...

Multi-modal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that included high resolution structural imaging, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) imaging, and magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) were performed in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients with negative computed tomographic scans and in an orthopedic-injured (OI) group without concomitant injury to t...

Diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) is useful for exploring the state of the corticospinal tract (CST). An accurate estimation of the integrity of the CST in the early stage of a cerebral infarct would enable a determination of motor recovery. DTT was performed to classify CST integrity following a corona radiata infarct to evaluate if the procedure could characterize the motor outcome of the a...

An interspecific association between two spider species (Araneae, Uloboridae and Tengellidae) was studied over a sixweek period at an Atlantic lowland wet forest site in Costa Rica. The uloborid Philoponella z~icziza builds orb webs among the frame lines of the platform web constructed by Tengella radiata Kulczynski, the much larger tengellid species. Experiments with marked P. zicina determine...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Extensive white matter damage has been documented in patients with severe traumatic brain injury, yet how this damage evolves in the long term is not well understood. We used DTI to study white matter changes at 5 years after traumatic brain injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS There were 8 healthy control participants and 13 patients with severe traumatic brain injury who wer...

Last decades, wood was promoted as building material. Wood heat treatment by mild pyrolysis has been reported to improve biological durability and dimensional stability of the material and constitutes an attractive « non biocidal » alternative to classical preservation treatments. Previous studies have shown that conferred properties strongly depend on the heat treatment intensity. A quality co...
