Frailty is defined as dynamic state affecting an individual who experiences losses in one or more domains of human functioning (physical, psychological, social) that are caused by the influence of a range of variables, and which increases the risk of adverse outcomes. This more integral conceptual definition promotes the collaboration of scientists, social and behavioral professionals as well as clinicians from diverse specialties. In this proposal an interdisciplinary group (Biochemistry, Geriatric, Occupational Therapist, Kinesiologist, social worker, bioengineer, statistician among others) aims to evaluate frailty in Chile with a biopsychosocial approach with the final purpose to identify and manage frailty while taking into consideration all the dimensions. Additionally, we aim to design a multidomain personalized person-base intervention for a healthy aging that can uncover a circulating microRNA biomarker panel that can allow an early-detection of frailty, leading to a new multidimensional geriatric assessment. We propose the following hypothesis: A personalized multidimensional training program reduces the frailty prevalence, increasing adherence and participation in the program among community-living older adults. This intervention will be paralleled by a distinctive miRNA profile reflecting the multiple domains of frailty, as well as improvements in diverse psychosocial traits.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]

To evaluate this, three types of structural modifications are proposed. First, the introduction of functional groups on the photoactive nucleus of dicationic azobenzene is expected to shift the absorption band of the molecular photoswitch. Second, the replacement of the fluorescent organic cations over the structure of the molecular photoswitch, which confer luminescent and amphipathic properties to the system. And third, the modification of the length of the chains over the molecular photoswitch could change the aggregate size. To determine whether these potential modifications can modulate the light-induced release activity of the photoswitchable aggregate, an enzyme inhibitor will be loaded and released by illumination in the presence of the enzyme. Under this scenario, any modification of the enzymatic activity will be correlated with the drug's photorelease.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]

OIVs, which represent only the summit section of a much larger volcanic edifice rising up from the sea floor, are highly vulnerable to geological hazards such as volcanism, seismic activity, mass wasting (caldera formation), landslides and rockfalls, and tsunamis. Specifically, a volcanic eruption on an OIV can mainly have a substantial impact on the local population, infrastructure and economy. It is then essential understand the characteristic behaviour and the ages of the recent eruptions of the volcano to enhance the capacity to identify future geological hazard processes such as eruptions, tsunamis, etc. In other words, to forecast how a volcano will behave, it is essential to identify, map and analyse the deposits from past eruptions and determine the ages of those deposits. However, this becomes more challenging on Ocean Island Volcanoes that have not experienced recent eruptions, such as Easter Island (Chile), but which may still pose a significant risk of future eruption. This proposal focuses on Easter Island (Rapa Nui or Isla de Pascua), an isolated southeast Pacific island with 7.750 inhabitants, that receives more than 100.000 tourists per year. This island has been catalogued as one of the 92 active volcanos of Chile by the Chilean mining and geological service, occupying the 46th position in its Volcanic Risk ranking. It was included taking into account the recent activity focused on Terevaka volcano and its peripheral vents and other factors as the population and infrastructures exposure and its high amount of visitors per year. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of robust geochronology and volcano-stratigraphy and morphometry for Easter Island, especially for these most recent eruptions. Therefore, a comprehensive study of its Holocene eruptions regarding their styles, a more accurate age determination, and a well identification of submarine volcanic centres around the island is still pending to evaluate its potential volcanic hazard. The main aim of this project is to identify and study the most recent eruptions of Easter Island, both onshore and offshore. This will allow understanding how and when they took place in terms of volume, diverse morphometric parameters, styles and their ages which will verify if the island is still active. To identify and characterize the style of the most recent eruptions (Holocene- last 11.700 Kyr) on the island it is planned to conduct geomorphologic and morhometryc analyses of subaerial and submarine recent volcanic deposits with and integrated onshore/offshore approach. Also, volcano-stratigraphy for the most recent cones and associated deposits onshore, with special attention to those hydrovolcanic eruptions will be analysed. To determine the number of Holocene eruptions on the island, 14C (for charcoal), 40Ar/39Ar (for rocks) techniques will be used. Moreover, we will identify and date tephras of lacustrine sedimentary records of the Rano Raraku, Rano Kao lakes and the Rano Aroi peat bog related to recent eruptions. A likely future eruption on the island or near its coasts would have negative and serious consequences; therefore, it is essential to undertake this scientific research aimed at improving the knowledge of the processes and their potential impacts. Furthermore, this study will also contribute to understanding the overall evolution of an interoceanic volcanic island whose results can be compared with other more studied OIVs in the world. In addition, this project will support undergraduate and graduate students, for whom this study will comprise most of their dissertation research, being an extraordinary opportunity for them. Moreover, this study will foster ongoing international collaboration, providing a pipeline for future student and faculty exchange, and will promote outreach educational experiences for the community, as well as more specialized seminars.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]

Consequently, discovering new ore deposits to meet this growing demand and prevent supply shortages has emerged as one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Discovery of new magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits can be improved based on a fundamental understanding of the geological processes that control the flux and focusing of ore-constituting elements in the Earth’s crust, and by identifying the differences between the bulk-rock and mineral chemistry of ore-forming and ordinary—barren—granitoids. Large metal anomalies in the Earth’s upper crust, such as porphyry copper-(molybdenum) deposits (PCDs), occur in intimate association with oxidized and water-rich arc magmatism in subduction zones. However, these deposits occur in restricted crustal domains and form in response to specific tectono-magmatic events, indicating that not all arc magmas have the same ore-forming potential. Understanding why only some magmas produced large PCDs while most other arc magmas remain barren is a fundamental scientific question and key to developing efficient exploration strategies. The volatile element composition of arc magmas, including water, sulfur, and halogens such as chlorine and fluorine, as well as their oxygen fugacity, exert a critical control on their ore-forming potential (i.e., ore fertility). These components are not only key to the complexation and transport of ore metals during hydrothermal activity, but also influence the amount of ore metals transported by magmas and the efficiency to which they are transferred from magmas to exsolved fluids. Magmatic differentiation in lower crustal hot zones beneath thick crustal regions is expected to enhance the volatile element budget and oxygen fugacity of evolving magmas that are discharged to the upper crust. This occurs due to the accumulation of incompatible volatile elements during successive cycles of recharge by mafic magmas and crystallization, facilitated by the deeper and hotter conditions beneath thicker arc crusts. As such, an increasingly recognized hypothesis holds that ore-forming magmas display a particularly increased budget of volatile elements and higher oxygen fugacities when compared to barren arc magmas, and that this is largely influenced by the arc crust thickness. The proposed work will test this hypothesis by focusing on the Miocene to Mio-Pliocene magmatism and associated world-class PCD mineralization in the Andes of central Chile. From the Early Miocene to the Mio-Pliocene, the arc segment located between latitudes ~33–34.5° S in the Andes of central Chile has seen a continued increase in crustal thickness and has evolved from being barren in the Early Miocene to producing some of the largest PCDs of the world in the Mio-Pliocene, such as El Teniente and Rio Blanco-Los Bronces. This geological scenario and the spatial and age distribution of the associated outcropping intrusive rocks offer a unique opportunity to investigate the temporal evolution of the volatile composition of magmas and its consequences for ore fertility. The goal of this proposal is to examine, adopting a regional scale perspective, the evolution in the volatile composition and oxygen fugacity of magmas produced in this arc segment and its relationship to magmatic ore fertility, as well as how this may have been influenced by changes in crustal thickness. To achieve this, I will sample an extensive suite of granitoids that represent a continuum from Early Miocene to Mio-Pliocene magmas, including porphyry-forming intrusions. By combining zircon petrochronology, apatite, biotite, and amphibole mineral chemistry, in conjunction with the bulk-rock composition of intermediate to felsic intrusive rocks, I will be able to constrain relative changes in the hydration state, sulfur contents, halogen and oxygen fugacities, as well as in their associated crustal thickness during the evolution of the selected arc segment. This will be done by implementing a combination of cutting-edge analytical techniques, including synchrotron-based sulfur X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy, electron probe microanalysis, (laser ablation) inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. I aim at (1) testing the differences in the volatile composition of barren and ore-forming intrusive rocks; (2) determining whether there is a gradual change in the volatile systematics of magmas during the evolution of the studied arc segment; and (3) analyzing the relationship between variations in crustal thickness and the volatile composition of associated magmas. The results of this proposal will lead to a better understanding of the magmatic controls underpinning the formation of giant PCDs and will provide valuable insights into identifying the differences between the bulk-rock and mineral chemistry of ore-forming and barren granitoids as tools for vectoring mineralized regions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
