MEMS-NEMS applications extensively use micro-nano cantilever structures as actuation system, thanks to their intrinsically simple end efficient configuration.Under the action of an electrostatic actuation voltage the cantilever deflects, until it reaches the maximum value of the electrostatic actuation voltage, namely the pull-in voltage.This limit
A methodological approach for the non-monetary valuation of ecosystem services in three communities of the Colombian Amazon
To conduct a non-monetary valuation of ecosystem services, this study explored combining data on the use of ecosystem resources with measuring the effort expended on agricultural activities in three communities of the lower Caqueta, Colombian Amazon.By measuring the energy expended by people during their principal subsistence activities, a measure
A 28-fold increase in secretory protein synthesis is associated with DNA puff activity in the salivary gland of Bradysia hygida (Diptera, Sciaridae)
When the first group of DNA puffs is active in the salivary gland regions S1 and S3 of Bradysia hygida larvae, there is a large increase in the production and secretion of new salivary proteins demonstrable by [3H]-Leu incorporation.The present study shows that protein separation by SDS-PAGE and detection by fluorography demonstrated that these pol
Rapid review protocol: Zinc for the prevention or treatment of COVID-19 and other coronavirus-related respiratory tract infections
Background: The global COVID-19 pandemic has prompted an urgent search for effective interventions.SARS-CoV-2 mortality/morbidity risk increases with age and for those chronic disease co-morbidities, both of which are associated with lower zinc status, as is the risk of infection.Methods: Rapid review methods will be applied to a systematic review
