Sustainable Management of Air-Conditioning Systems Condensate Water Recovery

The global water crisis represents one of humanity’s most pressing challenges, with over 2 billion people lacking access to safely managed drinking water. This study presents the implementation and evaluation of an innovative air-conditioning condensate recovery system at Buildin...

A network-driven antiviral discovery pipeline for emerging RNA viruses: a critical perspective from the Red Mexicana de Desarrollo de Antivirales (RMDA)

INTRODUCTION: RNA viruses impose a disproportionate burden of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases in Latin America, yet antiviral discovery in the region remains fragmented, target-limited, and frequently disconnected from translational pathways. This perspective discusse...

Untargeted Metabolomics of Xylem Sap Exudates in Two Common Bean Genotypes with Contrasting Growth Rates Under Water Deficit During Pod Filling

Background/Objectives: Water deficit during the pod filling stage severely limits the productivity of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). Although the effects of water scarcity have been extensively studied in leaves and roots, the contribution of xylem sap to systemic metabolic a...

Analysis of the Mechanical Behavior of Virgin and Virgin-Recycled Polystyrene

General-purpose polystyrene (GPPS) is widely used in packaging and insulation, although its recyclability poses environmental challenges that require circular economy strategies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical and tribological behavior of virgin GPPS (...

Relationship between body composition, executive functions and self-regulation of eating habits in university students: an analysis with a gender perspective

To evaluate associations between body composition, executive functions, and self-regulation of eating habits, and to explore whether the multivariate pattern of performance differs by gender in university students. The sample included 91 students. Body composition, executive func...

Contrasting eruptive dynamics and hazards of two Holocene andesitic sub-Plinian to Plinian eruptions, Lower and Upper Citlaltépetl, at Pico de Orizaba, Mexico

Abstract Pico de Orizaba (Citlaltépetl) stratovolcano, eastern Mexico, preserves a complex Holocene explosive record, yet the eruptive dynamics, source parameters, styles, and hazard implications of individual eruptive episodes remain poorly constrained. Here, we examine the 9600...

Total Hydrocarbons in Intertidal Interstitial Water of Sandy Beaches of the Central Region of Veracruz

Sandy beaches in the Central Region of Veracruz (CRV) face constant anthropogenic pressure from port and urban activities. This study aimed to evaluate total hydrocarbon (TH) concentrations in the intertidal interstitial water of five beaches in the CRV, analyzing their variabili...

Techno-Spatial and Economic Assessment of Rooftop Versus Land-Based Photovoltaic Deployment in a Biodiversity-Sensitive Region of the Mexican Caribbean

Solar photovoltaic (PV) expansion in fast-growing tropical regions requires engineering-based frameworks that compare deployment pathways in terms of electricity generation, spatial footprint, and economic performance. This study develops a techno-spatial and economic assessment...

Eosinopenia as an Independent Predictor of Complicated Acute Appendicitis: Usefulness in Adults, Not in Children

Background. The role of eosinophils in acute appendicitis (AA) is not well known. The aim of this study is to analyze whether peripheral blood eosinophil concentration can be useful in predicting episodes of complicated AA among pediatric and adult populations.Methods. A retrospe...
