An estimated 70 million people around the world suffer from fluorosis due to chronic exposure to high levels of fluoride in drinking water. The sources of this element in water are mostly geogenic, although important ...
Arsenic solid speciation in tailings of the abandoned Pan de Azucar mine, Northwestern Argentina
(2014)
In the Argentina Puna region there are several metal sulfide mines that ceased their activity twenty years ago without a proper closure plan. The exposure of the waste rocks and tailing impoundments to weathering led to ...
Evaluation of inorganic arsenic species in drinking water of the southeastern of the Buenos Aires province, Argentina
(2014)
Arsenic in natural water is a worldwide concern due to chronic health effects in people exposed through the drinking water. The aim was to evaluate the distribution of As(III) and As(V), through ASV, in an Argentine area ...
Lipid monolayers at the air-water interface: A tool for understanding electrostatic interactions and rheology in bio-membranes
(Elsevier, 2014)
Monomolecular films of surfactants at the air-water interface are easy to prepare and to handle, and enable a broad variety of techniques to be used. As in other model-systems mimicking membranes, two-phases are observed ...
New insights in glutamate-mediated mechanisms underlying benzodiazepines dependence and cocaine vulnerability
(2014)
It has been described that development and persistent expression of addictive behaviors occur through the usurpation of natural learning and memory mechanisms within the limbic system. Hippocampus (HP) and medial prefrontal ...
