      The nucleus geniculatus lateralis pars ventralis (GLv) is a prominent retinal target in all amniotes. In birds, it is in receipt of a dense and topographically organized retinal projection. The GLv is also the target of ...
    • Peña Villalobos, Isaac; Núñez Villegas, Mónica; Bozinovic, Francisco; Sabat Opazo, Pablo (Chinese Academy of Sciences, 2014)
      Due to the higher energy requirements of birds during winter, it is predicted that the activities of metabolic enzymes (e.g., citrate synthase, CS and cytochrome C oxidase, COX) should increase in tandem with increases in ...
    • Seligmann, Hervé; Labra, Antonieta (Elsevier, 2014)
      Mitochondrial light strand DNA replication is initiated at light strand replication origins (OLs), short stem-loop hairpins formed by the heavy strand DNA. OL-like secondary structures are also formed by heavy strand DNA ...

      The preparation of an ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) modified electrode with a mixed valence CoIII/FeII complex is described. The ITO electrode was initially modified with Au nanoparticles by dip coating in order to obtain and ...
    • Cárdenas,; Kong,; Alvarez,; Maldonado,; Leyton, (2014)
      Astrocytes in the normal brain possess a stellate shape reflecting their non-migratory properties. Alternatively, in neurodegenerative diseases or after injury, astrocytes become "reactive" in a process known as astrocytosis ...
    • López-Vergara, Fernanda; Galdámez, Antonio; Manríquez, Víctor (Sociedad Chilena de Quimica, 2013)
      The solid solutions Cu2Fe1-XCoXSnS 4, with stannite-type structure are stable up to about 800C. The electrical properties of the Cu2Fe1-XCo XSnS4 ceramic were investigated by complex impedance. The real and imaginary ...
    • Parham, James F.; Otero, Rodrigo A.; Suárez, Mario E. (Academic Press, 2014)
      The taxonomic status of turtle specimens from the Upper Cretaceous (upper Maastrichtian) Quiriquina Formation of Chile is unresolved. The previously described specimens were considered either stem-cheloniid sea turtles or ...
    • Heidar Zadeh, Farnaz; Fuentealba Rosas, Patricio; Cardenas Valencia, Carlos; Ayers, Paul W. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014)
      The ambiguity of the local hardness is resolved by using information theory to select definitions of the local hardness that are as close as possible to a well-defined approximate formula for the local hardness. A condensed ...
