Abstract Grain boundaries, the two-dimensional defects between differently oriented crystals, tend to preferentially attract solutes for segregation.Solute segregation has a significant effect on the mechanical and transport properties of materials.At the atomic level, however, the interplay of structure and composition of grain boundaries remains
Efficient detection of nutrient deficiencies and development of corrections in avocado through the Compositional Nutrient Diagnosis (CND)
Mexico is the main producer of avocado (Persea americana Mill.), contributing 31% of the world supply, which provides the country with an annual income of more than 2 billion dollars.The increase in national production is the result of a larger cultivated area, and not an increase in yields.In the State of Mexico, Mexico around 10 thousand hectares
Continuous adsorption of methylene blue dye on the maize stem ground tissue
Continuous adsorption of methylene blue from aqueous solutions onto maize stem ground tissue in column mode was investigated.The study encompassed the effects of important parameters such as flow rate, initial concentration of methylene blue, and bed depth on methylene blue removal from model Fat Separators solutions.The maximum adsorption capacity
Fecal microbiome as determinant of the effect of diet on colorectal cancer risk: comparison of meat-based versus pesco-vegetarian diets (the MeaTIc study)
Abstract Background Convincing evidence suggests that the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) is increased by the typical Western diet characterized by high consumption of red and processed meat.In addition, some epidemiological studies suggest a reduction in the risk of CRC associated with fish consumption.The role of the gut microbiome in this diet-a
Renin in critically ill patients
Abstract The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) constitutes one of the principal mechanisms to maintain hemodynamic and fluid homeostasis.However, most research until now on RAS primarily focuses on its relationship with hypertension and its role in critically ill hypotensive populations is not well understood.With the approval of angiotensin II (Ang I
