X-chromosomal STRs: Metapopulations and mutation rates
Gusmão, L.; Antão-Sousa, S.; Faustino, M.; Abovich, M.A.; Aguirre, D.; Alghafri, R.; Alves, C.; Amorim, A.; Arévalo, C.; Baldassarri, L.The analysis of STRs located on the X chromosome has been one of the strategies used to address complex kinship cases. Its usefulness is, however, limited by the low availability of population haplotype frequency data and lack of knowledge on the probability of mutations. Due to the large amount of data required to obtain reliable estimates, it is important to investigate the possibility of grouping data from p...

Different Cerrado Ecotypes Show Contrasting Soil Microbial Properties, Function...
Durán, J.; Meira-Neto, J.; Delgado-Baquerizo, M.; Hamonts, K.; Figueiredo, V.; Enrich-Prast, A.; Rodríguez, A.Soil moisture is among the most important factors regulating soil biodiversity and functioning. Models forecast changes in the precipitation regime in many areas of the planet, but how these changes will influence soil functioning, and how biotic drivers modulate such effects, is far from being understood. We evaluated the responses of C and N fluxes, and soil microbial properties to different soil water regime...
First Dark Matter Search Results from the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Experiment
Aalbers, J.; Akerib, D. S.; Akerlof, C. W.; Al Musalhi, A. K.; Alder, F.; Alqahtani, A.; Alsum, S. K.; Amarasinghe, C. S.; Ames, A.; Anderson, T. J.9 pages, 8 figures. See https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.041002 for a data release related to this paper; The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment is a dark matter detector centered on a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, USA. This Letter reports results from LUX-ZEPLIN's first search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) wit...
One-year study of airborne sugar compounds: cross-interpretation with other che...
Oduber, F.; Calvo, A.I.; Castro, A.; Alves, C.; Blanco-Alegre, C.; Fernández-González, D.; Barata, J.; Calzolai, G.; Nava, S.; Lucarelli, F.; Nunes, T.The daily evolution of seventeen sugar compounds (seven saccharides, seven alcohol-saccharides and three anhydrosaccharides) in atmospheric aerosol samples collected between 9 March 2016 and 14 March 2017 was studied in León (Spain). The main links between the concentration of sugar compounds and various chemical species, pollen, fungal spores and meteorological conditions were investigated. The results showed ...

Varela, Sara; Barbosa, A. Márcia; Durán, J.; Martínez-Freiría, Fernando; González, J.; Rodríguez, A.; Tarroso, Pedro; Velo-Antón, GuillermoLa concentración de gases de efecto invernadero en la atmósfera aumenta anualmente debido, principalmente, al uso generalizado de combustibles fósiles como fuente de energía. Este incremento está detrás de una serie de cambios a nivel planetario en parámetros tan importantes como el clima (ej. cambios en el rango de temperaturas y precipitaciones globales) o los niveles de salinidad y pH de los océanos, con imp...
Epigenome-wide DNA methylation profiling of periprostatic adipose tissue in pro...
Cheng, Y.; Monteiro, C.; Matos, A.; You, J.; Fraga, A.; Pereira, C.; Catalán, V.; Rodríguez, A.; Gómez-Ambrosi, J.; Frühbeck, G.; Ribeiro, R.; Hu, P.Background: Periprostatic adipose tissue (PPAT) has been recognized to associate with prostate cancer (PCa) aggressiveness and progression. Here, we sought to investigate whether excess adiposity modulates the methylome of PPAT in PCa patients. DNA methylation profiling was performed in PPAT from obese/overweight (OB/OW, BMI > 25 kg m-2) and normal weight (NW, BMI < 25 kg m-2) PCa patients. Significant differen...
VERTICALLY-RESOLVED CHARACTERIZATION OF THE FEBRUARY 2016 EXCEPTIONAL SAHARAN D...
Guerrero Rascado, Juan Luis; Costa, Maria João; Sicard, Michael; Gómez-Amo, J. L.; Benavent-Oltra, J. A.; Román, R.; Bortoli, Daniele; Marcos, C.An unusual Saharan dust outbreak occurred on 20-24 February 2016 over the Iberian Peninsula. This work focuses on the particle vertical distribution investigated at four EARLINET AERONET stations: Granada, Évora, Burjassot and Barcelona. This event was exceptional because: (i) Saharan dust outbreaks over the Iberian Peninsula are atypical during wintertime,(ii) the aerosol optical depth reached high values (up ...
Coupled orbital and spin evolution of the CoRoT-7 two-planet system using a Max...
Rodríguez, A.; Callegari, N. [UNESP]; Correia, A. C.M.Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T16:46:21Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-01-01; Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP); We investigate the orbital and rotational evolution of the CoRoT-7 two-planet system, assuming that the innermost planet behaves like a Maxwell body. We numerically resolve the coupled differential equations governing the instantaneous defor...
