The role of melatonin in improving mitochondrial respiratory chain activity and increasing ATP production different experimental conditions has been widely reported. To date, however, the mechanism(s) involved are largely unknown. Using high-resolution respirometry, fluorometry spectrophotometry we studied effects on normal functions. Mitochondria were recovered from mouse liver cells incubated vitro with at concentrations ranging 1 nm to mm. Melatonin decreased oxygen consumption...
Abstract The connection between the innate immune system, clock genes, and mitochondrial bioenergetics was analyzed during aging sepsis in mouse heart. Our results suggest that sole NF ‐κB activation does not explain inflammatory process underlying aging; former also triggers NLRP 3 inflammasome enhances caspase‐1‐dependent maturation of IL ‐1β. In this way, aged mice enter into a vicious cycle as ‐1β further activates ‐κB/ link. origin related to age‐dependent Bmal1/Clock/ ROR α/Rev‐Erbα...
This article, investigates efficiency in the municipal sector of Region Murcia (Spain). With that aim, data 31 municipalities (69% response rate) have been collected. Services analysed are: police, culture, sports, green areas, refuse collection and water supply. Ratios related to other control variables, such as economic level, size municipality, decentralization, political sign financial situation. A weak positive relation between level arises. Some evidence also exists public management...
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) or ubiquinone is a well-known component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. In humans, CoQ10 deficiency causes syndrome with an unexplained variability in clinical presentations. To try to understand this heterogeneity phenotypes, we have generated Coq9 Knockin (R239X) mouse model. The lack functional protein homozygous mutant (Coq9X/X) mice severe reduction Coq7 and, as consequence, widespread CoQ and accumulation demethoxyubiquinone. deficit induces brain-specific...
Abstract For scientists, one of the most important points to consider is right journals for research, current awareness, and publication results. However, if scientists suffer from imperfect attention, they would pay attention only a subset in subject category. Under this scenario, chief editors might affect preferences by using journal’s salience influence what to. In paper, we are going address two related research questions: First, do competitive forces tend correct choice errors journal...
Abstract Here, we show a longitudinal analysis of the ranking subject areas Elsevier's Scopus. To this aim, present three summary measures based on journal scores for academic journals in each area. This study allows us to analyze developmental trends over times different with distinct citation and publication patterns. We evaluate relative performance area by using overall prestige most important score above given threshold (e.g., first quartile) as well gap less below top 10 journals)....
It is of great benefit to have advance knowledge human visual target acquisition performance for targets or other relevant objects. However, search inherently shows a large variance and depends strongly on prior the perceived scene. A typical experiment therefore requires number observers obtain statistically reliable data. Moreover, measuring in field situations usually impractical often very costly even dangerous. The paper presents method characterizing information relative its...
A series of new (E)-3(5)-[β-(aryl)-ethenyl]-5(3)-phenyl-1H-pyrazoles bearing fluorine atoms at different positions the aryl group have been synthesized starting from corresponding β-diketones.

Three structures solved X-ray diffraction confirming tautomeric forms detected state NMR. The vitro study their inhibitory potency selectivity on activity nNOS eNOS...
Here, we develop a theory of the relationship between reviewer's effort and bias in peer review. From this theory, it follows that journal editors might employ biased reviewers because they shirk less. This creates an incentive for editor to use monitoring mechanisms (e.g., associate supervising review process) mitigate resulting reviewers' recommendations. The supervision could encourage more extreme reviewers. helps explain presence To shirking by reviewer, may assign referees generate...
Abstract Given how hard it is to recruit good reviewers who are aligned with authors in their functions, journal editors could consider the use of better incentives, such as paying for time. In order facilitate a speedy turn-around when rapid decision required, peer-reviewed can also offer review model which selected peer compensated deliver high-quality and timely peer-review reports. this paper, we manuscript’s evaluation consists necessary component an optional component. We study that...
This paper describes a system for the automatically learned partitioning of visual patterns in 2D images, based on sophisticated band-pass filtering with fixed scale and orientation sensitivity. The are defined as features which have highest degree alignment statistical structure across different frequency bands. analysis reorganizes image according to an invariance constraint consists three stages: pre-attentive stage, integration learning stage. first stage takes input performs log-Gabor...
We introduce a novel methodology for mapping academic institutions based on their journal publication profiles. believe that journals in which researchers from publish works can be considered as useful identifiers representing the relationships between these and establishing comparisons. However, when are used research output representation, distinctions must introduced them, value institution descriptors. This leads us to use of weights attached identifiers. Since large proportion published...
In economics, the principal‐agent problem is difficulty in motivating one party (the agent), to act best interests of another principal) rather than his own interests. We consider example a journal editor wondering whether or her reviewer agent) recommending rejection manuscript because it does not have enough quality be published dislikes effort and he/she must work acquire in‐depth knowledge content manuscript. The reviewer's provides him with superior information about manuscript's...
This paper analyzes how the natural scales of shapes in 2D images can be extracted. Spatial information is analyzed by multiple units sensitive to both spatial and spatial-frequency variables. Scale estimates relevant are constructed only from strongly responding detectors. The meaningful structures response a detector (computed through Gabor filtering) are, at their level resolution, relatively sharp have well-defined boundaries. A scale so defined as producing local minimum function that...
