General patterns of forest dynamics and productivity in the Andes Mountains are poorly characterized.Here we present the first Brandy Glasses large-scale study of Andean forest dynamics using a set of 63 permanent forest plots assembled over the past two decades.In the North-Central Andes tree turnover (mortality and recruitment) and tree growth de
Music-based therapy for rehabilitation induces neuromodulation at the brain level and improves the functional recovery.In line with this, musical rhythmicity improves post-stroke gait.Moreover, an external distractor also helps stroke patients to improve locomotion.We raised the question whether music with irregular tempo (arrhythmic music), and it
The world-wide cement industry is seeking experimental avenues that will lead to cement production that is less energy-intensive, less damaging to the surrounding grooming all-in-one cleanser environment and less prolific in GHG emissions.In Spain and Europe in general, this approach is wholly consistent with the concept of sustainability and compl
This work reports the first molecular analysis study of chicken anaemia virus (CAV) in backyard chickens in Africa using molecular cloning and sequence analysis to characterize CAV strains obtained from commercial chickens and Nigerian backyard chickens.Partial VP1 gene sequences were determined for three CAVs from commercial chickens and for six C
