High prevalence of ST121 in community-associated methicillin-susceptible Staphy...

In order to evaluate the incidence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) in Portugal, we analyzed a collection of 38 S. aureus isolates recovered from 30 children attending the pediatric emergency department of a central hospital in Lisbon due to skin and soft tissue infections. Molecular characterization identified seven clonal lineages among the 35 methicillin-susceptib...

O carvão e outros combustíveis fósseis, continuarão a ser, por décadas, a principal matéria-prima energética para as Centrais Térmicas, não obstante os esforços para, dentro do possível, substituir os combustíveis fósseis por fontes de energia renovável.Tal como está, hoje, bem documentado, a produção de gases com efeito estufa (GEE), designadamente CO2, resulta da combustão dos ditos combustíveis fósseis, send...

Overview CO2 Geological Sequestration

Comparative study of the influence of minerals in gas sorption isotherms of thr...

This investigation compares the gas adsorption behaviour and capacity of three bituminous coals from South Africa, of similar rank, by assessing the characteristics of the raw coal, as well as the resulting float and sink fractions (at 1.80 cm3/g) obtained by density separation of crushed coal samples. Calculations were also made to obtain the raw coal gas storage capacity from the weighted contribution of both...

Sobre alguns problemas do Permo-Carbónico Continental português

1 - The author presents a synopsis about the non-marine Carboniferous formations represented in the sheets 9A (Póvoa de Varzim), 9C (Porto), 13B (Castelo de Paiva) and, still in preparation, 9D (Penafiel) of the 1/50,000 Geological Map of Portugal. 2 - Conclusions of the detailed petrological research conducted on the Douro Coalfield peranthracites and, also, a new geological interpretation, which originates fr...

Iron overload and immunity

World J Gastroenterol. 2007 Sep 21;13(35):4707-15. Iron overload and immunity. Porto G, De Sousa M. Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Rua do Campo Alegre, Porto 8234150, Portugal. gporto@ibmc.up.pt Abstract Progress in the characterization of genes involved in the control of iron homeostasis in humans and in mice has improved the definition of iron overload and of the cells affected by it. The cel...

The identification of unusual microscopic features in coal and their derived ch...

During the petrographic study of seven feed coals from different origins, it was found that these coals presented microfeatures such as: material size, shape, weathering, thermally affected particles and contamination. After devolatilization under fluidized bed conditions, some chars presented the consequences of the above mentioned microfeatures, i.e., unreacted coal, unswelled particles, coatings and microstr...

Combustion studies in a fluidised bed—The link between temperature, NOx and N2O...

Five commercially available high volatile bituminous coals from different origins were studied with the objective of characterizing their petrographic nature with respect to emissions of NOx and N2O. The chars produced [at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1000 °C] from these coals were also petrographically analyzed to assess the contribution of char to NOx and N2O formation during combustion. Vitrinite-rich co...

Characterization of Coal Maceral Groups by Micro-Raman Spectroscopy

Comunicação apresentada no 7º Congresso de Geoquímica dos Países de Língua Portuguesa, Maputo (Moçambique), Setembro 2003. ; Uma caracterização rápida e não-destrutiva da organização estrutural do material carbonoso pode ser conseguida através da espectroscopia micro-Raman, uma vez que podem ser obtidos espectros de áreas micrométricas. Uma aplicação óbvia desta técnica é a caracterização pontual de macerais d...
