The diversity of the five single nucleotide polymorphisms located in genes TP53 pathway (TP53, rs1042522; MDM2, rs2279744; MDM4, rs1563828; USP7, rs1529916; and LIF, rs929271) were studied a total 282 individuals belonging to Quechua, Aymara, Chivay, Cabanaconde, Yanke, Taquile, Amantani, Anapia, Uros, Guarani Ñandeva, Kaiowá populations, characterized as Native American or having high level (> 90%) ancestry. In addition, published data pertaining 100 persons from other populations (Surui,...
Current point cloud extraction methods based on photogrammetry generate large amounts of spurious detections that hamper useful 3D mesh reconstructions or, even worse, the possibility adequate measurements. Moreover, noise removal for clouds are complex, slow and incapable to cope with semantic noise. In this work, we present body2vec, a model-based body segmentation tool uses specifically trained Neural Network architecture. Body2vec is capable perform human reconstruction from videos taken...
Abstract Objectives The diagnosis and treatment of obesity are usually based on traditional anthropometric variables including weight, height, several body perimeters. Here we present a three‐dimensional (3D) image‐based computational approach aimed to capture the distribution abdominal adipose tissue as an aspect shape rather than relationship among classical measures. Methods A morphometric landmarks semilandmarks placed upon 3D torso surface was performed in order quantify adiposity...
Self-perception of ethnicity is a complex social trait shaped by both, biological and non-biological factors. We developed comprehensive analysis ethnic self-perception (ESP) on large sample Latin American mestizos from five countries, differing in age, socio-economic education context, external phenotypic attributes genetic background. measured the correlation ESP against genomic ancestry, influence physical appearance, distortion observed between both. Here we show that ancestry correlated...

Abstract In the past, only four types of reservoirs were defined to characterize matrix and fracture systems. These definitions based on systems do not cover all pore present in real world because a great number reservoir are made up different lithologies types. The could be matrix, fractures, or vugs combinations these. One potential problems is that engineers have simplified complex problem therefore erroneously produced reservoirs. If complete classification available literature, more...
In 2016 Panama was buffeted by corruption scandals and a decelerating economy, which had negative consequences for the political standing of President Juan Carlos Varela. The "Panama Papers" revealed underlying pathology in Panama's economic system. After decade rapid growth, economy showed signs slowing down. However, completion Canal expansion project provided hope an boost as waterway able to service greater proportion maritime commercial traffic.
In the Latin American context of extremely high crime, political scientists and policy makers alike need to ask whether associated fear is helping build popular support for repressive measures, by extension, regimes. short, it possible that growing crime a threat durability democracy in America? To test this proposition, paper uses 2008 Americas Barometer surveys. The premise rising insecurity undermine democratic values increase authoritarian measures. As rates governments fail stem tide,...
This chapter seeks to analyze the connection between micro-level attitudes and regime stability in Latin America. The political culture and democracy has been a concern of social scientists since Gabriel Almond and Sidney Verba’s 1963 breakthrough book, Civic Culture, identified cluster of and values that, they argued, led stable democracies (Almond and Verba 1963). Ronald Inglehart subsequently pioneered cross-national research that built on, empirically tested, assertions. In his model,...
Using survey data and interviews, this study examines Panamanian attitudes toward the United States central issues in US.- Panama relations. It also compares with opinions rest of Central America. The finds that nationalism, system support, anticommunism, and, for mass public, ideology are most important variables determining support States. Elites more nationalistic less accommodationist than public. Concern about politicization misuse Canal adjacent lands has led many general public to a...
