Silva Contreras, Sebastián Jesús; Castillo, Claudia; Olivera Nappa, Álvaro; Townley Callejas, Brian (Elsevier, 2020)If variability of input data for rheological measurements is not adequately included, their associated uncertainty and subsequent modelling can be underrated. Mineral pulp rheology determination is commonly done ...

Silva Contreras, Sebastián Jesús; Medina Ortiz, David; Conca Rosende, Carlos; Olivera Nappa, Álvaro (Frontiers Media, 2020)Existing mathematical models for the glucose-insulin (G-I) dynamics often involve variables that are not susceptible to direct measurement. Standard clinical tests for measuring G-I levels for diagnosing potential diseases ...

Moglia, Italo; Santiago, Margarita; Olivera Nappa, Álvaro; Soler Jauma, Mónica (Elsevier, 2018-06)Ferritin is a globular protein that consists of 24 subunits forming a hollow nanocage structure that naturally stores iron oxyhydroxides. Elimination of iron atoms to obtain the empty protein called apoferntin is the first ...

Hernández, Cecilia; Mella, Carlos; Navarro, Gonzalo; Olivera Nappa, Álvaro; Araya, Jaime (Public Library Science, 2017)Many proteins work together with others in groups called complexes in order to achieve a specific function. Discovering protein complexes is important for understanding biological processes and predict protein functions ...

Contreras, Sebastián; Villavicencio, H. Andrés; Medina Ortiz, David; Saavedra, Claudia P.; Olivera Nappa, Álvaro (Frontiers Media, 2020)In the absence of a consensus protocol to slow down the spread of SARS-CoV-2, policymakers need real-time indicators to support decisions in public health matters. The Effective Reproduction Number (Rt) represents the ...

Camus, Carolina; Ballerino, Paola; Delgado, Rocío; Olivera Nappa, Álvaro; Leyton, Carmen; Buschmann, Alejandro H. (Wiley, 2016)Interest in third-generation biomass such as macroalgae has increased due to their high biomass yield, absence of lignin in their tissues, lower competition for land and fresh water, no fertilization requirements, and ...

Moglia, Italo; Santiago, Margarita; Soler Jauma, Mónica; Olivera Nappa, Álvaro (Elsevier, 2020)Ferritin is a globular hollow protein that acts as the major iron storage protein across living organisms. The 8 nmdiameter internal cavity of ferritin has been used as a nanoreactor for the synthesis of various metallic ...
