3DPatBody: 3D dataset of human bodies of a patagonian population and their anthropometric measurements.

The study of human body shape using classical anthropometric techniques is often problematic due to several error sources. Instead, 3D models and representations provide more accurate registrations, which are stable across acquisitions, and enable more precise, systematic, and fast measuring capabilities. Thus, the same person can be scanned several times and precise differential measurements can be established in an accurate manner.

Relationship between moderate alcohol consumption, genetic polymorphisms and body weight in a population sample of Puerto Madryn, Argentina.

Introduction. The relationship between obesity and alcohol consumption is a topic of significant interest to public health. Alcoholic beverages contribute additional calories to the diet, which could be a relevant factor to the overweight risk.

Volga German surnames and Alzheimer's disease in Argentina: an epidemiological perspective.

The N141I variant (PSEN1 gene) is associated with familial forms of early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) in descendants of Volga Germans, whose migration to Argentina is well documented. As a proxy for geographic origin, surnames can be a valuable tool in population studies. The 2015 Argentine Electoral Registry provided geographic data for 30,530,194 individuals, including 326,922 with Volga German surnames.

Diversity of Behavior after Collisions of Sn and Si Nanoparticles Found Using a New Density Functional Tight-Binding Method.

We present a new approach to studying nanoparticle collisions using density functional based tight binding (DFTB). A novel DFTB parametrization has been developed to study the collision process of Sn and Si clusters (NPs) using molecular dynamics (MD). While bulk structures were used as training sets, we show that our model is able to accurately reproduce the cohesive energy of the nanoparticles using density functional theory (DFT) as a reference.
