Analysis of the Guatemalan earthquake catalogNARA Subscribed
In this paper, we study the geographic and temporal distribution of earthquakes in Guatemala, and their magnitudes, from 1526 to October 2022. We utilized the earthquake catalog of the national seismic network of Guatemala, complemented by two additional sources. First, we describe the development of the detection network and the seismic catalog. Second, we analyze the errors in the catalog and determine the quality of the foc...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Use of Cyrene™, as an alternative to dimethyl sulfoxide, as a diluent for Melatonin to determine its in vitro antimicrobial capacityNARA Subscribed
Melatonin (MLT) is a methoxyindole that has potent antioxidant actions, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic capacity. However, its in vitro antibacterial capacity has been the least studied of its properties. Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) has been the most used solvent for these tests, but it shows an antimicrobial effect if it is not dissolved. Cyrene™ is a new solvent that has emerged as an alternative to DMSO. Therefore, this s...
Classifying buildings according to seismic vulnerability using Cluster-ANN techniques: application to the city of Murcia, SpainNARA Subscribed
The seismic vulnerability of a city is a degree of its intrinsic susceptibility or predisposition to sustain damage or losses stemming from seismic events. In terms of physical vulnerability, one of the most important factors for assessing seismic risk, especially, for estimating losses, is the exposure of structures, particularly those structures intended for residential use. The present article outlines a methodology for cla...
Range‐edge populations of seaweeds show niche unfilling and poor adaptation to increased temperaturesNARA Subscribed
Aim Global warming is affecting the distribution of species worldwide, but the level of adaptation of edge populations to warmer temperatures remains an open question. Here, we assess the thermal tolerance of populations of two habitat‐forming seaweeds along their latitudinal range, using thermal niche unfilling to assess their resilience to global warming. Location European Atlantic coastline. Taxon Ascophyllum nodosum (Linna...
