Asymmetric Effects of Non‐Tariff Measures: Evidence From Argentina's Automotive Value Chain

ABSTRACT This paper examines the effects of Argentina's non‐automatic import licenses (NAILs), introduced in late 2011 to reduce the automotive trade deficit by increasing local content. Using rich product‐ and firm‐level data, we assess whether these measures curtailed imports o...

Tackling Multi-Dimensional Challenges of Chagas Disease: The Potential of Open Science

Abstract In a situation of resource scarcity, deciding what scientific research we fund becomes particularly relevant. Recent contributions have provided tools to investigate the relationship between research agendas and socio-environmental needs. In this study we apply a Multi-C...

Management of metastatic spinal disease in low- and middle-income countries: an international survey of practices and challenges in Latin America

Spinal metastases impose urgent diagnostic and therapeutic demands; however, evidence from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Latin America is sparse. We aimed to characterize real-world practices, access gaps, and priorities to in-form context-adapted guidelines. We con...

Comparison of Caffeine Content in Coffee and Yerba Mate Prepared According to Traditional Consumption Methods in Argentina

The amount of caffeine provided by a beverage depends not only on its source but also on the preparation method and the amount consumed. In Argentina, coffee and yerba mate are habitual sources of caffeine, yet their actual contribution according to preparation method has not bee...

The Global Airways Unit: A Multidisciplinary Strategy for Early Diagnosis and Comorbidity Detection

ABSTRACT Background Chronic respiratory diseases impose a large global burden of morbidity, mortality, and cost. The concept of a global airway has become increasingly supported by epidemiologic, mechanistic, and clinical evidence. However, clinical care often remains fragmented...

Effect of Bleaching Chemistry on the Production, Structure and Rheology of Cellulose Nanocrystals and Nanofibrils from Soybean Hulls

Soybean hulls, an abundant agro-industrial by-product, were valorized as a renewable cellulose source for nanocellulose production. Cellulose isolates were obtained by alkaline treatment followed by bleaching with sodium chlorite (NaClO2) or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and subsequen...

Prioritization of chemical scaffolds using the TDR Targets database: An integrative workflow for Trypanosoma cruzi drug discovery

Abstract Chagas disease, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi , faces a critical innovation gap in drug development, with current treatments hindered by toxicity and limited efficacy. To address this, we implemented an integrative chemogenomic workflow using the TDR Targets d...

Transcriptome derived microsatellite markers in Valeriana clarionifolia reveal transferability among Patagonian Valeriana species

Abstract Several species within the genus Valeriana are globally recognized for their medicinal properties. However, their increasing economic value has led to overharvesting of natural populations, posing a serious threat to their long-term sustainability. Effective strategies f...

Review of Particle Physics *

The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,200 new measurements from 903 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and b...
