A comprehensive assessment of the transcriptome of cork oak (Quercus suber) thr...

Background: Cork oak (Quercus suber) is one of the rare trees with the ability to produce cork, a material widely used to make wine bottle stoppers, flooring and insulation materials, among many other uses. The molecular mechanisms of cork formation are still poorly understood, in great part due to the difficulty in studying a species with a long life-cycle and for which there is scarce molecular/genomic inform...

Planning Aspects of ATM Networks

The main goal of this dissertation was to study various aspects of the ATM technology, based on the planning of the introduction of ATM technology on local and access networks. It is based on case studies of the planning and implementation of specific cases of each one of these kinds of networks, on the scope of opportunities mude available by the Broadband Systems Group of the Department of Electronics and Tel...

Na sequência da Resolução da Assembleia da República n.º 90/2010, de 10 de agosto, o Ministério da Saúde incumbiu a Direção-Geral da Saúde de elaborar uma tabela nacional de funcionalidade para pessoas com doenças crónicas, de acordo com a Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde (CIF) da Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS). A Direção-Geral da Saúde, ainda em 2010, através do Departam...

Desarticulação da anca - protetização: um caso clínico

Regulating agro-forest areas for a sustainable cork harvest

In this study an agro-forestry area of cork oak partial affected by fire was considered. Even though having a forest management plan, the existing management compartments didn’t allow for a sustainable cork annual harvest. To achieve sustainability the area control method for forest regulation was first applied, using a cycle of nine years through a 27 years planning horizon. Later, cork annual yield was also c...

Cost-benefit analysis of sheep and goat brucellosis vaccination with Rev.1 in t...

In the North of Portugal, a mass vaccination programme of small ruminants was conducted from 2001 to 2004. A study of cost-benefit was carried out for the 2000/2005 period to ascertain the economic benefits of this strategy. In order to estimate the cost of the zoonosis, the compensation costs paid to farmers for culled animals in the Brucellosis Eradication Campaign, data from vaccine Rev. 1 costs, and costs o...

Laboratory limits on dermatophyte diagnosis in rabbits with clinical lesions

ermatophyte infection or ringworm is a superficial cutaneous infection with one or more of the fungal species of the keratinophilic genera Microsporum, Trichophyton, or Epidermophyton and is a zoonosis with a great impact on public health. Dermatophytes were identified from rabbit sample cultures submitted to mycological examination in the Laboratory of Microbiology of the University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Do...

Lombar Tranverse Process Osteosarcoma

Introduction Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most common primary bone tumor in dogs. Between 20 and 25% of canine OSA arise from bones of the axial skeleton and are also the most common extradural spinal neoplasm (46%). Radiographic appearance is nonspecific and inconsistent. Pain without neurological signs is the predominant initial finding with vertebral OSA. Materials and Methods A 8 years cross-bred male dog was...

Nonlinear 3D foot FEA modeling from CT scan medical images

A 3D anatomically detailed non-linear finite element analysis human foot model is the final result of density segmentation 3D reconstruction techniques applied in Computed Tomography (CT) scan DICOM standard images in conjunction with 3D Computer Aided Design operations and finite element analysis (FEA) modelling. Density segmentation techniques were used to geometrically define the foot bone structure and the ...
