Iurilli, Maria L. C.; Zhou, Bin; Bennett, James E.; Carrillo-Larco, Rodrigo M.; Sophiea, Marisa K.; Rodriguez-Martinez, Andrea; Bixby, HonorMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:30:23Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-03-01; From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of ...

Stratification strength and light climate explain variation in chlorophyll a at...
Donis, Daphne; Mantzouki, Evanthia; McGinnis, Daniel F.; Vachon, Dominic; Gallego, Irene; Grossart, Hans-Peter; Senerpont Domis, Lisette N.To determine the drivers of phytoplankton biomass, we collected standardized morphometric, physical, and biological data in 230 lakes across the Mediterranean, Continental, and Boreal climatic zones of the European continent. Multilinear regression models tested on this snapshot of mostly eutrophic lakes (median total phosphorus [TP] = 0.06 and total nitrogen [TN] = 0.7 mg L-1), and its subsets (2 depth types a...

Data descriptor: a European multi lake urvey dataset of environmental variables...
Mantzouki, Evanthia; Campbell, James; Loon, Emiel van; Visser, Petra; Konstantinou, Iosif; Antoniou, Maria G.; Giuliani, GrégoryUnder ongoing climate change and increasing anthropogenic activity, which continuously challenge ecosystem resilience, an in-depth understanding of ecological processes is urgently needed. Lakes, as providers of numerous ecosystem services, face multiple stressors that threaten their functioning. Harmful cyanobacterial blooms are a persistent problem resulting from nutrient pollution and climate-change induced ...
Temperature effects explain continental scale distribution of cyanobacterial to...
Mantzouki, Evanthia; Lürling, Miquel; Fastner, Jutta; Domis, Lisette N. de Senerpont; Wilk-Woźniak, Elżbieta; Koreivienė, Judita; Seelen, LauraInsight into how environmental change determines the production and distribution of cyanobacterial toxins is necessary for risk assessment. Management guidelines currently focus on hepatotoxins (microcystins). Increasing attention is given to other classes, such as neurotoxins (e.g., anatoxin-a) and cytotoxins (e.g., cylindrospermopsin) due to their potency. Most studies examine the relationship between individ...
Development of bioabsorbable polylactide membrane with controllable hydrophilic...
Yang, Yang; Qiu, Xiaofeng; Sun, Yi; Wang, Yifeng; Wang, Jine; Li, Yulin; Liu, ChangshengCell functions can be mediated through their interactions with the microenvironments, which highly depend on the surface state of the substrate. However, how to finely adjust the surface of biomaterials is still very challenging. In this study, poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLLA) with high molecular weight was synthesized via ring opening polymerization, which was hot-pressed into PDLLA membrane. In order to modify the h...
Detection and Identification of extra virgin olive oil adulteration by GC-MS co...
Yang, Yang; Ferro, Miguel Duarte; Cavaco, Isabel Maria Palma Antunes; Liang, YizengIn this study, an analytical method for the detection and identification of extra virgin olive oil adulteration with four types of oils (corn, peanut, rapeseed, and sunflower oils) was proposed. The variables under evaluation included 22 fatty acids and 6 other significant parameters (the ratio of linoleic/linolenic acid, oleic/linoleic acid, total saturated fatty acids (SFAs), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA...
