NATIVE HYPERACCUMULATOR PLANTS WITH DIFFERENTIAL PHYTOREMEDIATION POTENTIAL IN AN ARTISANAL GOLD MINE OF THE ECUADORIAN AMAZON

Native Hyperaccumulator Plants with Differential Phytoremediation Potential in an Artisanal Gold Mine of the Ecuadorian Amazon

In tropical forests of southern Ecuador, artisanal gold mining releases heavy metals that become xenobiotic with indefinite circulation and eventual bioaccumulation.Restoration and rehabilitation of degraded mining sites represent a major ecological, technological and economic issue.In this study, we estimate the capacity of two native woody plants

Redox homeostasis and cell cycle activation mediate beta-cell mass expansion in aged, diabetes-prone mice under metabolic stress conditions: Role of thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP)

Overnutrition contributes to insulin resistance, obesity and metabolic stress, initiating a loss of functional beta-cells and diabetes development.Whether these damaging effects are amplified in advanced age is barely investigated.Therefore, New Zealand Obese (NZO) mice, a well-established model for the investigation of human obesity-associated typ

When is the super socle of C(X) prime?

Let SCF(X) denote the ideal of C(X) consisting of functions which are zero everywhere except on a countable number of points of X.It is generalization of the socle of C(X) denoted by Hose Joiner CF(X).Using this concept we extend some of the basic results concerning CF(X) to SCF(X).In particular, we characterize the spaces X such that SCF(X) is a p
