Increasing consumption of olive oil and table olives has recently determined an expansion of olive tree cultivation in the world.This trend is supported by the documented nutritional value of the Mediterranean diet.The aim of this work was to test a portable visible/ near infrared (vis/NIR) system (400-1000 nm) for the analysis of physical-chemical
Hantaan virus (HTNV) and Puumala virus (PUUV) are pathogenic hantaviruses found in Asia and Europe, respectively.DNA vaccines targeting the envelope glycoproteins of these viruses have been constructed and found to elicit neutralizing antibodies when delivered to humans by various technologies including intramuscular electroporation.Here, we report
Life has evolved on Earth for about 4 billion years in the presence of the natural background of ionizing radiation.It is extremely likely that it contributed, and still contributes, to shaping present form of life.Today the natural background radiation is extremely small (few mSv/y), however it may be significant enough for living organisms to res
Background and purpose: We developed an automatic method to segment cardiac substructures given a radiotherapy planning CT images to support epidemiological studies or clinical trials looking at cardiac disease endpoints after radiotherapy.Material and methods: We used a most-similar atlas selection algorithm and 3D deformation combined with 30 det
Complications generated by hyperglycemia present in diabetes mellitus (DM) have been constantly related to oxidative stress and dysfunction in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC).Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), which is present in mitochondria, is responsible for regulating several proteins involved in metabolic homeostasis and oxidative stress.Stu
