Carlos Varela, Carlos Abalde, Laura Castro, Jose Gulías, Multiagent Systems

Multi-agent systems are a kind of concurrent distributed systems. In this work, some guidelines on how to create multi-agent systems using Erlang are presented. The modelled system supports...

ARMISTICE: An Experience Developing Management Software with Erlang ∗ ABSTRACT (2007)

David Cabrero, Carlos Abalde, Carlos Varela, Laura Castro

In this paper, some experiences of using the concurrent functional language Erlang to implement a classical vertical application, a risk management information system, are presented. Due to the...

Scaling of angiosperm xylem structure with safety and efficiency (2006)

Hacke, Uwe G., Sperry, John S., Wheeler, James K., Castro, Laura

We tested the hypothesis that greater cavitation resistance correlates with less total inter-vessel pit area per vessel (the pit area hypothesis) and evaluated a trade-off between cavitation safety...

Endothelial transcytosis of myeloperoxidase confers specificity to vascular ECM proteins as targets of tyrosine nitration

Baldus, Stephan, Eiserich, Jason P., Mani, Alireza, Castro, Laura, Figueroa, Mario, Chumley, Phillip, ...

Nitrotyrosine formation is a hallmark of vascular inflammation, with polymorphonuclear neutrophil–derived (PMN-derived) and monocyte-derived myeloperoxidase (MPO) being shown to catalyze this...

Nitration of Solvent-exposed Tyrosine 74 on Cytochrome c Triggers Heme Iron-Methionine 80 Bond Disruption: NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE AND OPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY STUDIES*

Abriata, Luciano A., Cassina, Adriana, Tórtora, Verónica, Marín, Mónica, Souza, José M., Castro, Laura, ...

Cytochrome c, a mitochondrial electron transfer protein containing a hexacoordinated heme, is involved in other physiologically relevant events, such as the triggering of apoptosis, and the...

Disruption of the M80-Fe ligation stimulates the translocation of cytochrome c to the cytoplasm and nucleus in nonapoptotic cells

Godoy, Luiz C., Muñoz-Pinedo, Cristina, Castro, Laura, Cardaci, Simone, Schonhoff, Christopher M., King, Michael, ...

Native cytochrome c (cyt c) has a compact tertiary structure with a hexacoordinated heme iron and functions in electron transport in mitochondria and apoptosis in the cytoplasm. However, the...
