Two immunoglobulin G enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) versions using whole promastigotes of Leishmania infantum (syn. Leishmania chagasi) treated either with β-mercaptoethanol (β-ME-ELISA) or trypsin (TRYP-ELISA) as antigens were developed for the diagnosis of canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL). By comparison with the direct agglutination test (DAT; 100%, 31/31; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 86.3–100%...
The objective of this study was to assess the effect of the finishing system (under montanheira or with commercial feed) on carcass characteristics and dry cured-ham of Alentejano pigs. 24 pigs were fattening until 130 kg LW under montanheira and 24 pigs were fattening with commercial feed. Carcasses of pigs fattened under the montanheira system were slightly heavy (98,38 vs 96,13 kg), with significantly higher...
A flexible real-time communication system must support modifications to the message set which it conveys.These changes can be requested by a human operator,during system set-up or maintenance, or autonomously bythe control system while responding to variations in theenvironment. In the former case, a response time up to a few seconds can be acceptable. However, in the latter, thephysical properties of...
Abstract Objectives: During summer in Mediterranean regions, well adapted native cattle breeds present differences in environmental tolerance. The objective of this study was to compare heat tolerance of Alentejana and Mertolenga heifers under direct solar radiation, by quantifying the pathways of evaporative thermolysis and thermostability. Materials and Methods: The experiment was carried out in 5 days. 6 Ale...
O presente estudo teve como objectivo avaliar, em duas raças de bovinos, o comportamento das vias de termólise latente, perante aumentos planeados da temperatura ambiente. Foram utilizados 6 novilhas das raças Frísia e 6 da raça Mertolenga com pesos médios de 403,8±15,5kg e 308,2±31,2Kg, respectivamente. O estudo foi realizado em câmara climática e decorreu durante 12 dias, dividido em 4 fases, cada uma com a d...
This paper presents a methodology to make EV able to contribute to secondary frequency regulation, by participating in Automatic Generation Control (AGC). The aggregator entity is used in this methodology to act as intermediate between the AGC and the EV controllers. The case-study used is an approximation of the Portuguese transmission/generation network, including existing tie lines with Spain, to which a sol...
