Local perceptions on social-ecological dynamics in Latin America in three community-based natural resource management systems
(Resilience Alliance, 2015)Several examples of community-based natural resource management in Latin American social-ecological systems exist in which communities control the management of common-pool resources. Understanding community perceptions ... -
Magnesium Inhibits Wnt/β-Catenin Activity and Reverses the Osteogenic Transformation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Magnesium reduces vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) calcification in vitro but the mechanism has not been revealed so far. This work used only slightly increased magnesium levels and aimed at determining: a) whether ... -
Making Ostrom’s framework applicable to characterise social ecological systems at the local level
(The International Association for the Study of the Commons, 2015)Ostrom’s framework to analyse the sustainability of social-ecological systems has attracted great interest in the last years. It was not conceived to characterise systems, but its nature and structure make it very appealing ... -
Mechanochemical Synthesis of TiO2 Nanocomposites as Photocatalysts for Benzyl Alcohol Photo-Oxidation
(MDPI, 2016)TiO2 (anatase phase) has excellent photocatalytic performance and different methods have been reported to overcome its main limitation of high band gap energy. In this work, TiO2-magnetically-separable nanocomposites ... -
Metarhizium anisopliae Pathogenesis of Mosquito Larvae: A Verdict of Accidental Death
(Public Libray of Science (PLOS), 2013)Metarhizium anisopliae, a fungal pathogen of terrestrial arthropods, kills the aquatic larvae of Aedes aegypti, the vector of dengue and yellow fever. The fungus kills without adhering to the host cuticle. Ingested conidia ... -
Microwave-assisted preparation of Ag/Ag2S carbon hybrid structures from pig bristles as efficient HER electrocatalysts
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)Ag/Ag2S hybrid structures have recently attracted significant interest due to their high chemical and thermal stability, in addition to their unique optical and electrical properties. However, their standard synthetic ... -
