Tropical Intraseasonal Modes of the Atmosphere
(Reviews In Advance. vol 39: 5.1–5.27, 2014-08-06)
Tropical intraseasonal variability (TISV) of the atmosphere describes the coherent variability in basic state variables, including pressure, wind, temperature, and humidity, as well as in the physical phenomena associated ...
Salivary gland morphology, tissue tropism and the progression of tospovirus infection in Frankliniella occidentalis
(2016)
Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is transmitted by thrips in a propagative manner; however, progression of virus infection in the insect is not fully understood. The goal of this work was to study the morphology and infection ...
Sobre el genoma humano, la medicina personalizada y el sistema de seguridad social
(2016)
La promesa del proyecto del genoma humano (PGH) fue que iba a transformar radicalmente la práctica médica. Cambiaría el paradigma de “diagnóstico y tratamiento” por el de “predicción de riesgo y prevención”. Hace más de ...
Reproductive biology and behavior of Doru taeniatum (Forficulidae)
(Revista de BioIogía Tropical 36(2B): 437-440, 1988., 1988)
This study deals with the biology of Doru taeniatum, (Forficuüdae), particulary the habitat, feeding, reproduction, maternal care, and nymphal stages. The density of adults is higher in the older corn plants.
The earwings ...
Integration and Fixation Preferences of Human and Mouse Endogenous Retroviruses Uncovered with Functional Data Analysis
(2016-06-16)
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), the remnants of retroviral infections in the germ line, occupy ~8% and ~10% of the human and mouse genomes, respectively, and affect their structure, evolution, and function. Yet we still ...
A Multivariate Regression Model Between the October Rainfall Anomalies in Central America and the Tropical Pacific and Atlantic Ocean
(1999-11)
Principal Component Analysis was used to identity common anomaly patterns amongst 72 rainfall gauge stations in Central America during October, in order to identify stations to from October Rainfall Indices. October was ...
Genetic diversity in Oryza glumaepatula wild rice populations in Costa Rica and possible gene flow from O. sativa
(2016-04-07)
Wild crop relatives are an important source of genetic diversity for crop improvement. Diversity estimates are generally lacking for many wild crop relatives. The objective of the present study was to analyze how genetic ...
Genetic contributions to circadian activity rhythm and sleep pattern phenotypes in pedigrees segregating for severe bipolar disorder
(2016-02-09)
Abnormalities in sleep and circadian rhythms are central features of bipolar disorder (BP), often persisting between episodes. We report here, to our knowledge, the first systematic analysis of circadian rhythm activity ...
