Quantifying the contribution of organisms to the provision of ecosystem services (2009)

Luck, G.W., Harrington, R., Harrison, P.A., Kremen, C., Berry, P.M., Bugter, R., ...

Research on ecosystem services has grown rapidly over the last decade. Two conceptual frameworks have been published to guide ecological assessments of organisms that deliver services—the concepts...

High performance Brillouin distributed fibre sensor (2007)

Diaz, S., Mafang, S. Foaleng, Lopez-Amo, M., Thévenaz, L.

We propose a novel configuration for a Brillouin distributed sensor based on Brillouin optical time domain analysis. This new configuration eliminates many intensity noise issues found in previous...

Magnetic frustration in the spinel compounds GeCo2O4 and GeNi2O4 (2006)

Diaz, S., De Brion, S., Chouteau, G., Canals, B., Simonet, V., Strobel, P.

In both spinel compounds GeCo2O4 and GeNi2O4 which order antiferromagnetically (at T-N=23.5 K and T-N1=12.13 K/T-N2=11.46 K) with different Curie-Weiss temperatures (T-CW=80.5 K and -15 K), the usual...

Foliar pH as a new plant trait: can it explain variation in foliar chemistry and carbon cycling processes among subarctic plant species and types? (2005)

Cornelissen, J. H. C., Quested, H. M., Logestijn, R. S. P., Perez-Harguindeguy, N., Gwynn-Jones, Dylan, Diaz, S., ...

Plant traits have become popular as predictors of interspecific variation in important ecosystem properties and processes. Here we introduce foliar pH as a possible new plant trait, and tested...

Mechanism of uptake and incorporation of the non-human sialic acid N-glycolylneuraminic acid into human cells (2005)

Bardor, M, Nguyen, D H, Diaz, S, Varki, A

N-Glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is a widely expressed sialic acid in mammalian cells. Although humans are genetically deficient in producing Neu5Gc, small amounts are present in human cells in...

Study of competitive magnetic interactions in the spinel compounds GeNi2O4, GeCo2O4 (2004)

Diaz, S., De Brion, S., Holzapfel, M., Chouteau, G., Strobel, P.

We will present here results on the magnetic properties of two compounds, GeCo2O4 and GeNi2O4, obtained by magnetic susceptibility and high magnetic field magnetization measurements. GeCo2O4 shows an...

Inactivation of CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase occurred prior to brain expansion during human evolution (2002)

Chou, H. H., Hayakawa, T., Diaz, S., Krings, M., Indriati, E., Leakey, M., ...

Humans are genetically deficient in the common mammalian sialic acid N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) because of an Alu- mediated inactivating mutation of the gene encoding the enzyme...

Magnetic and Structural Characterisation of PbFe12-xCrxO19 (1.0 ≤ x ≤ 6.0) Hexaferrites Powders Obtained by Coprecipitation Method (1997)

Diaz, S., Sanchez, J., Leccabue, F., Watts, B., Bocelli, G., Albanese, G.

The present work describes the preparation of chromium substituted magnetoplumbite ferrites from nitrate salts, and the effect of Cr on its structural and magnetic properties. Powders with nominal...

Magnetic Properties of PbFe12O19 Hexaferrites Powders Obtained by Metallorganic Decomposition (1997)

Diaz, S., Suárez, N., Faloh, J., Sánchez, J., Leccabue, F., Watts, B., ...

Magnetoplumbite (PbFe12O19) powders were obtained by the thermal decomposition, at 900 °C of nitrates dissolved in ethylene glycol. The hysteresis loops showed that the predominant magnetisation...

Ecophysiological, ecological, and soil processes in terrestrial ecosystems: a primer on general concepts and relationships (1996)

Kirschbaum, M.U.F., Bullock, P., Evans, J.R., Goulding, K., Jarvis, P.G., Noble, I.R., ...

This ecophysiological primer serves as an introductory chapter on the concepts applied in subsequent chapters reviewing the state of knowledge concerning the effects of climate change on ecological...

Carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome: not an N-linked oligosaccharide processing defect, but an abnormality in lipid-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis?

Powell, L D, Paneerselvam, K, Vij, R, Diaz, S, Manzi, A, Buist, N, ...

The carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome (CDGS) is a developmental disease associated with an abnormally high isoelectric point of serum transferrin. Carbohydrate analyses of this...

A sialic acid-specific O-acetylesterase in human erythrocytes: possible identity with esterase D, the genetic marker of retinoblastomas and Wilson disease.

Varki, A, Muchmore, E, Diaz, S

The "nonspecific" esterases are a family of enzymes that were originally identified because of their reaction with synthetic O-acetyl ester substrates. While the electrophoretic polymorphisms of...
