[Specific bacterial diversity in bats of different food guilds in Southern sierra Oaxaca, Mexico].

Specific bacterial diversity in bats of different food guilds in Southern sierra Oaxaca, Mexico. Bats have different ecologic roles in variable ecosystems that have been already described. They have been linked to several zoonoses, however little is known about the relationship between bat microbiota and their diet, and studies on the bacterial ecology of the microbiota in bats are limited.

Corrosion inhibitors: design, performance, and computer simulations.

The development of a methodology to predict the performance of a corrosion inhibitor (CI) using specific types of modeled and experimental surfaces and their subsequent estimation is presented. For previously reported imidazoline CIs, the theoretical partition coefficients and molecular volumes were calculated, providing a guide for molecular engineering of new imidazolines. The new CIs, N-[2-(2-alkyl-4,5-dihydroimidazol-1-yl)ethyl]alkylamides and N-[2-(2-alkyloylaminoethylamino)ethyl]alkylamides, were designed, prepared, and their theoretical partition coefficients and molecular volumes calculated.
