Stress in wild greater rhea populations: effects of agricultural activities on fecal glucocorticoid metabolite levels
(2014)
In recent years, wild populations of greater rhea (Rhea americana) have declined drastically,
due mainly to the conversion of grassland into cropland as a result of intensive, specialized
agricultural practices. In this ...
Neuroadaptive events in the offspring induced by maternal voluntary ingestion of hypertonic sodium solution: brain neurochemical system programming
(2014)
Osmoregulatory mechanisms can be vulnerable to electrolyte and/or endocrine
environmental changes during the perinatal period, differentially programming the
developing offspring and affecting them even in adulthood. The ...
Adsorptive filter for the removal of arsenic in drinking water
(2014)
The presence of arsenic in water used for human
consumption is a widespread problem in several regions around the world. Cordoba Province at the
center of Argentine has aquifers that naturally contain As and are the main ...
Effects of central administration of Coriandrum sativum essential oil on anxiety-like behavior in chicks
(2014)
Coriandrum sativum ("cilantro") is an herb with culinary use. Coriandrum essential oil
(CEO) is an aromatic complex mixture of volatile terpenes with antibacterial, antifungal,
antioxidant activity and when it is ...
Overview of weathering in a small monolitholigic drainage basin: La Trucha, Sierra de Comechingones, Córdoba, Argentina
(2014)
The term weathering is used in the Earth Sciences to denote the in situ breakdown and alteration of rocks and
minerals. In the near surface environment, pressure, temperature and water availability differ significantly ...
Large effects of land use conversion on C storage in dry forest ecosystems from Southern South America
(2014)
Net CO2 land use change emissions represent one of the main drivers of global climatic change. However, the effect of the accelerated deforestation over plant and soil carbon (C) pools from dry Chaco forests from southern ...
The geological setting of Carboniferous magmatism in the proto-Andean margin of Gondwana, Sierra Pampeanas, Argentina
(2014)
Our petrogenetic understanding of the Carboniferous granites of the Sierras Pampeanas has
improved in recent years, but their geodynamic setting is still not well constrained. Domeier and
Torsvik (2014) affirm that there ...
The hydrochemical and isotopic signature of the Middle Paraná River downflow the confluence of Paraguay and Upper Paraná rivers: surface water mixing or groundwater inflow?
(2014)
The Paraná River basin is one of the largest hydrological systems in South America (~2.6
x 106
km

(2014)
El éxito de los biomateriales, particularmente para implantes y prótesis óseas, se basa en preparar dispositivos cuyas superficies sea n biointeractivas y
selectivas para que simultáneamente mejoren la función ósea y ...
Fast carbon turnover after logging in the Semi-Arid Chaco forest (Argentina)
(2014)
Although the effect of forest logging on soil organic C (SOC) has been studied across different ecosystems, there is no consensus on the general resulting pattern, showing increases, decreases or not net changes in comparison ...
