A bacteriophage detection tool for viability assessment of Salmonella cells

Available online 7 September 2013 ; Salmonellosis, one of the most common food and water-borne diseases, has a major global health and economic impact. Salmonella cells present high infection rates, persistence over inauspicious conditions and the potential to preserve virulence in dormant states when cells are viable but non-culturable (VBNC). These facts are challenging for current detection methods. Culture...

Mitochondrial Dysfunction: The Road to Alpha-Synuclein Oligomerization in PD

While the etiology of Parkinson's disease remains largely elusive, there is accumulating evidence suggesting that mitochondrial dysfunction occurs prior to the onset of symptoms in Parkinson's disease. Mitochondria are remarkably primed to play a vital role in neuronal cell survival since they are key regulators of energy metabolism (as ATP producers), of intracellular calcium homeostasis, of NAD+/NADH ratio, a...

Avaliação das fases cristalinas de dióxido de titânio suportado em cerâmica ver...

O dióxido de titânio apresenta boas propriedades como um material fotocatalisador para aplicação em processos de degradação fotocatalítica. No entanto, o dióxido de titânio deve ser usado ancorado num suporte adequado. O uso de cerâmica vermelha como suporte de fotocatalisadores pode ser uma boa alternativa devido ao seu baixo custo e facilidade de fabricação. Neste trabalho foi estudado, via difração de raios ...

Magnetic and transport properties of diluted granular multilayers

The magnetic and transport properties of Co80Fe20t /Al2O34 nm multilayers with low nominal thicknesses t=0.7 and 0.9 nm of Co80Fe20 granular layers are studied. Magnetic studies find a superparamagnetic state above the blocking temperature Tb of field-cooled/zero-field-cooled splitting that grows with t and decreases with H. The low-voltage Ohmic tunnel transport passes to non-Ohmic IV3/2 law for applied fields...

Resistive switching in nanostructured thin films

Planar capacitor structures based on granular films composed of nanometric ferromagnetic grains embedded in an insulating Al2O3 matrix can switch between a high-conductance and a low-conductance state. The switching properties are induced by a forming process. The ON/OFF resistance ratio is as high as 104 under an electrical field of only 15 kV/m. This resistive switching is accompanied by a capacitive switchin...

Congestão Nasal em Portugal - Epidemiologia e Implicações

A congestão nasal é o sintoma mais referido nas doenças inflamatórias e/ou infecciosas da mucosa nasal, sendo a rinite alérgica a sua causa mais frequente. Existindo deficiente informação epidemiológica sobre a problemática em discussão, o presente estudo avalia e caracteriza a prevalência da obstrução nasal na população adulta e a situação actual quanto à etiologia e tratamento deste sintoma tão frequente na p...

Predictive QSPR analysis of corrosion inhibitors for super 13% Cr steel in hydr...

An experimental and theoretical study on the inhibition corrosion efficiencies of twenty three compounds in hydrochloric acid (15% w/v) on 13% Cr modified stainless steel (martensitic) has been carried out. This inhibitor set includes amines, thiourea derivatives and acetylenic alcohols. Experimental weight losses at 60ºC were correlated with group and quantum AM1 descriptors obtained from QSPR analysis. Such d...

QSPR prediction analysis of corrosion inhibitors in hydrochloric acid on 22%-Cr...

Corrosion inhibitors have been widely used to prevent corrosion on stimulation operations on petroleum wells. Detailed experimental and theoretical investigation of twenty three different compounds including amines, thiourea derivatives, and acetylenic alcohols were carried out to estimate their inhibition corrosion efficiency on 22% Cr stainless steel (austenitic-ferritic, duplex) in hydrochloric acid (15% m/v...
