      Blood flow dynamics under physiologically realistic pulsatile conditions plays an important role in the growth, rupture, and surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The temporal and spatial variations of wall pressure ...
    • Díaz Espinoza, Rodrigo; Garcés, Andrea P.; Arbildua, José J.; Montecinos, Felipe; Brunet, Juan E.; Lagos Mónaco, Rosalba; Monasterio Opazo, Octavio (COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, 2007-08)
      FtsZ has two domains, the amino GTPase domain with a Rossmann fold, and the carboxyl domain that resembles the chorismate mutase fold. Bioinformatics analyses suggest that the interdomain interaction is stronger than the ...
    • Valdivia Hepp, Juan; Rogan Castillo, José; Muñoz Gálvez, Víctor; Toledo Cabrera, Benjamín (SPRINGER, 2006)
      The magnetosphere is a multi-scale spatio-temporal complex dynamical system. Self-organization is a possible solution to the seemingly contradicting observation of the repeatable and coherent substorm phenomena with ...
    • Valdivia, Carlos E.; Simonetti Zambelli, Javier Andrés; Henríquez, Carolina (SPRINGER, 2006-05)
      We studied the pollination and reproductive success in continuous and fragmented populations of Lapageria rosea, a self-compatible plant endemic to temperate forests of Chile. Pollinator abundance, visitation rates, flower ...
    • Valdivia, Carlos E.; Niemeyer Marich, August (BLACKWELL, 2006-11)
      Correlation among phenotypic traits may be explained by correlational selection, the simultaneous selection of more than one trait, or by genetic and/or developmental factors. In Escallonia myrtoidea, a tree with scented ...
    • Urzúa Acevedo, Marcela; Sandoval, Claudia; González Nilo, Fernando; Leiva, Angel; Gargallo, Ligia; Radic, Deodato (JOHN WILEY, 2006-11-05)
      The phase behavior of blends containing N-alkylitaconamic acid-co-styrene copolymers (NAIA-co-S) with poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVY) of two different weight average molecular weights (M-w($) over bar), poly(2-vinylpyridine) ...

      The antioxidant activity of eight coumarins and two flavonols isolated from Haplopappus multifolius was studied with the DPPH radical method. Results show that a high concentration of phenolic coumarins and the presence ...
    • Sulz, Lorena; Bacigalupo Vicuña, Juan (SOC BIOLGIA CHILE, 2006)
      In mammals, neurogenesis continues during adulthood in restricted places of the nervous system, namely the subventricular zone, the dentate gyrus and the olfactory epithelium. A dual role of the second messenger nitric ...
