Intra- and inter-group coordination patterns reveal collective behaviours of fo...

This study examined emergent coordination processes in collective patterns of behavior in 3 vs 3 sub-phases of the team sport of association football near the scoring zone. We identified coordination tendencies for the centroid (i.e., team center) and surface area (i.e., occupied space) of each sub-group of performers (n = 20 plays). We also compared these kinematic variables at three key moments of play using m...

Mechanisms of initiation and reversal of drug-seeking behavior induced by prena...

We would like to thank the members of the Neuroscience Research Domain at ICVS for all the helpful discussions and suggestions. We are especially thankful to the animal facility caretakers, and to Drs Sara Silva, António Melo and Ana Paula Silva and Dieter Fischer for their help ; Stress and exposure to glucocorticoids (GC) during early life render individuals vulnerable to brain disorders by inducing structur...

Proximity-to-goal as a constraint on patterns of behaviour in attacker-defender...

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine whether spatiotemporal interactions between footballers and the ball in 1 vs. 1 sub-phases are influenced by their proximity to the goal area. Twelve participants (age 15.3 +/- 0.5 years) performed as attackers and defenders in 1 vs. 1 dyads across three field positions: (a) attacking the goal, (b) in midfield, and (c) advancing away from the goal area. In each po...

Interobserver variability of ultrasound parameters in portal hypertension

The aim of this study was to assess interobserver agreement of ultrasound parameters for portal hypertension in hepatosplenic mansonic schistosomiasis. Spleen size, diameter of the portal, splenic and superior mesenteric veins and presence of thrombosis and cavernous transformation were determined by three radiologists in blinded and independent fashion in 30 patients. Interobserver agreement was measured by th...

Brain tissue segmentation using q-entropy in multiple sclerosis magnetic resona...

The loss of brain volume has been used as a marker of tissue destruction and can be used as an index of the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. In the present study, we tested a new method for tissue segmentation based on pixel intensity threshold using generalized Tsallis entropy to determine a statistical segmentation parameter for each single class of brain tissue. We compa...

Las emociones toman la palabra

Se reconoce la educación emocional (Bisquerra, R. 2002, 2005; Veiga-Branco, 2004; 2007) como tema transversal, esencial en todos los ámbitos y niveles de capacitación, en la formación académica instituida. Con el objetivo de despertar, de una manera sugerente e interactiva, el interés espontáneo para las emociones y su utilidad para el aprendizaje sobre la vida, se construyó una exposición en power point animad...

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the frontal, cingulate and periroland...

The aim of the present study was to determine whether specific subgroups of schizophrenic patients, grouped according to electrodermal characteristics, show differences in the N-acetylaspartate/creatine plus choline (NAA / (Cr + Cho)) ratios in the frontal, cingulate and perirolandic cortices. Skin conductance levels (SCL) and skin conductance responses to auditory stimulation were measured in 38 patients with ...

Anaerobic treatment of wastewater from the household and personal products indu...

The anaerobic treatment of wastewater from the household and personal products industry was studied using a 16.3 L hybrid reactor (UASB and biofilter). The top of the UASB reactor was filled with coconut shells to act as the support material for the biofilter. The wastewater was characterized in terms of pH (1.0 - 12.0), COD (1,000 - 5,000 mg/L), BOD5 (700 - 1,500 mg/L), chloride (55 - 850 mg/L), ammonia nitrog...

Septicemia caused by Vibrio cholerae O1 biotype El Tor, in São Paulo, Brazil

We reported a case of septicemia by Vibrio cholerae O1, in São Paulo, Brazil. A 70-year-old male patient, living in an urban area, entered the emergency service having sepsis, dying 12 hours later. Blood culture was positive for Vibrio cholerae O1. This is the first case of bacteremia by Vibrio cholerae O1 reported in South America.
