The Marine Toxin Okadaic Acid Induces Alterations in the Expression Level of Cancer-Related Genes in Human Neuronal Cells
(Elsevier, 2013-04-03)
[Abstract] Okadaic acid (OA) is one of the most common and highly distributed marine toxins. It can be accumulated in several molluscs and other marine organisms and cause acute gastrointestinal symptoms after oral consumption ...
Comparative Study on Effects of Two Different Types of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles on Human Neuronal Cells
(Elsevier, 2013-04-15)
[Abstract] Titanium dioxide (TiO2) are among most frequently used nanoparticles (NPs). They are present in a variety of consumer products, including food industry in which they are employed as an additive. The potential ...

(Elsevier, 2013-06-20)
[Abstract] In November 2002 the oil tanker Prestige spilled 63,000tonnes of heavy oil off the northwest coast of Spain, impacting more than 1000km of coastline. A general concern led to a huge mobilization of human and ...
Magnetic field strength and reproducibility of neodymium magnets useful for transcranial static magnetic field stimulation of the human cortex
(Wiley, 2013-10-11)
[Abstract] Objective. The application of transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) in humans reduces the excitability of the motor cortex for a few minutes after the end of stimulation. However, when tSMS is ...
Effects of severe hypoxia on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiation potential
(Hindawi, 2013-06-30)
[Abstract] Background. The interests in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their application in cell therapy have resulted in a better understanding of the basic biology of these cells. Recently hypoxia has been indicated ...
γH2AX as a Marker of DNA Double Strand Breaks and Genomic Instability in Human Population Studies [Review]
(Elsevier, 2013-02-13)
[Abstract] DNA double strand breaks (DSB) are the gravest form of DNA damage in eukaryotic cells. Failure to detect DSB and activate appropriate DNA damage responses can cause genomic instability, leading to tumorigenesis ...
Analysis of I/O Performance on an Amazon EC2 Cluster Compute and High I/O Platform
(Springer Netherlands, 2013-12)
[Abstract] Cloud computing is currently being explored by the scientific community to assess its suitability for High Performance Computing (HPC) environments. In this novel paradigm, compute and storage resources, as well ...
Parallel Brownian dynamics simulations with the message-passing and PGAS programming models
(Elsevier BV, 2013-04)
[Abstract] The simulation of particle dynamics is among the most important mechanisms to study the behavior of molecules in a medium under specific conditions of temperature and density. Several models can be used to compute ...
Performance analysis of HPC applications in the cloud
(Elsevier BV * North-Holland, 2013-01)
[Abstract] The scalability of High Performance Computing (HPC) applications depends heavily on the efficient support of network communications in virtualized environments. However, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers ...
