Colombian mountain Páramos are considered natural areas with a very important role for human life. Páramos provide, both in mountain and lowland areas, a multitude of ecosystem services which start from vegetation to soil sustainability. The sustainability of Páramos is however impaired by several anthropogenic activities, including agricultural and livestock practices. A system thinking approach was applied in this work to improve the systemic understanding of factors affecting sustainability and ...

The contribution of Colombia to global emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is low (0.37%); from this percentage, 38% is attributed to agriculture. There are few studies on GHGs emissions at the regional level for agriculture. Therefore, the aim of this research is to estimate dynamically GHG and carbon footprint produced by cattle in the department of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. GHG estimates were established as follows: Tier II of IPCC methodology (2006), and population trends, which were simulated ...

The sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) is the main intracellular calcium (Ca2+) pool in muscle and non-muscle eukaryotic cells, respectively. The reticulum accumulates Ca2+ against its electrochemical gradient by the action of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPases (SERCA pumps), and the capacity of this Ca2+ store is increased by the presence of Ca2+ binding proteins in the lumen of the reticulum. A diversity of physical and chemical signals, activate the main Ca2+ release channels, i. ...

The livestock activity is linked to processes with environmental repercussions. Methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) are two important greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted into the atmosphere by livestock during the processes of enteric fermentation and excreta management, which contribute to global warming. The objective of this paper was to review the amount of GHG emitted (kg CO2e) per kg of product generated from the main ruminant species (sheep, goats, buffaloes and bovines) used in tropical areas, under ...

Herein, a series of N-doped carbon nanotube (CNx) samples were obtained by modifying the synthesis temperature. Consequently, the proportion of graphitic nitrogen (Ngraph) in the samples was systematically increased as a function of temperature. This allowed evaluation of the role of the CNx graphitic nitrogen in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). A correlation between the Ngraph content and the ORR onset potential was observed, which shifted to more positive potentials with an increase in kinetic ...

The Novel Object Recognition task (NOR) is widely used to study vertebrates' memory. It has been proposed as an adequate model for studying memory in different taxonomic groups, allowing similar and comparable results. Although in cephalopods, several research reports could indicate that they recognize objects in their environment, it has not been tested as an experimental paradigm that allows studying different memory phases. This study shows that two-month-old and older Octopus maya subjects can ...

The phenotype of trees is determined by the relationships and interactions among genetic and environmental influences. Understanding the patterns and processes that are responsible for phenotypic variation is facilitated by studying the relationships between phenotype and the environment among many individuals across broad ecological and climatic gradients. We used Pinus strobiformis, which has a wide latitudinal distribution, as a model species to: (a) estimate the relative importance of different ...

However, all currently known variants are identified visually mostly on the basis of pulp color. Differences in chemical composition and pharmacological properties also remain largely unknown.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an increasing problem worldwide, usually detected by an increase of uremic toxins in the human bloodstream. In this study, Zn1-xMgxFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized as possible candidates for the adsorption of uremic toxins, such as urea, creatinine, and uric acid. The synthesis of nanoparticles from magnetic oxides of Fe, Zn, and Mg (Zn1-xMgxFe2O4, x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0) was carried out by sol-gel method at a heat treatment temperature ...

During each sampling period, we collected random soil samples to estimate seed availability in the soil seed bank. Due to the ...

Acidic Ca(2+) stores, particularly lysosomes, are newly discovered players in the well-orchestrated arena of Ca(2+) signaling and we are at the verge of understanding how lysosomes accumulate Ca(2+) and how they release it in response to different chemical, such as NAADP, and physical signals. Additionally, it is now clear that lysosomes play a key role in autophagy, a process that allows cells to recycle components or to eliminate damaged structures to ensure cellular well-being. Moreover, lysosomes ...

The Golgi apparatus (GA) is a bona fide Ca2+ store; however, there is a lack of GA-specific Ca2+ mobilizing agents. Here, we report that emetine specifically releases Ca2+ from GA in HeLa and HL-1 atrial myocytes. Additionally, it has become evident that the trans-Golgi is a labile Ca2+ store that requires a continuous source of Ca2+ from either the external milieu or from the ER, to enable it to produce a detectable transient increase in cytosolic Ca2+. Our data indicates that the emetine-sensitive ...
