Biosurfactant production by three Bacillus subtilis strains (#309, #311 and #573) isolated from Brazilian crude oils was optimized based on different carbon and nitrogen sources. The lowest surface tension values were obtained using sucrose containing media for the three isolates. Biosurfactants produced by each strain were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic...
Libro de Actas - X Simposium Hispano Português de Relaciones Hidricas, 2010 ; Deficit irrigation techniques, implying that water is supplied at levels below full crop evapotranspiration throughout the growing season or in specific phenological stages, such as regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) or partial root drying (PRD), emerged as potential strategies to increase water savings with marginal decreases of yie...
Background - A large proportion of vineyards are located in regions with seasonal drought (e.g. Mediterraneantype climates) where soil and atmospheric water deficits, together with high temperatures, exert large constraints on yield and quality. The increasing demand for vineyard irrigation requires an improvement in the efficiency of water use. Deficit irrigation has emerged as a potential strategy to allow c...
This study aimed to characterize the products of deterioration of concrete by petrographic methods. Samples from seven concrete structures as well as three samples produced in laboratory tests were studied. The external evidence of deterioration of the structures were confirmed by petrographic microscope and analysis by scanning electron microscope / spectrometer energy dispersion lead to the identification of ...

Based on the NH2-terminal sequence of three PR-10 isoforms previously identified in Lupinus albus leaves and a conserved amino-acid region in the PR-10 proteins from leguminosae, a pair of oligonucleotides was designed and used to amplify the corresponding cDNA fragment from a L. albus leaves cDNA library. A fragment of DNA of 200 bp was isolated from the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) mixture and subsequently...
Neste trabalho e apresentado um estudo numerico e experimental do impacto de uma massa numa placa de aluminio. A resposta transiente da placa a impactos de baixa velocidade e caracterizada pela propagação de ondas de flexiio. Para sucessivos instantes de tempo foi medido o campo de deslocamentos fora do plano atraves da tecnica de ESPI em modo de dupla exposição. Durante o impacto e registada a evolur;Cio da fo...
This work presents a numerical and experimental study of the transient response of an isotropic plate. A low mass impact is used to generate the bending wave propagation. Displacements due to the bending wave propagation were assessed using an out-of-plane double pulse TV holography set-up. A PZT transducer is used to record the impact force and its temporal evolution. A novel experimental technique is present...
