This paper presents quality of service mechanisms, based on the NSIS (Next Steps In Signaling) protocol. For that, it was implemented a testbed with NSIS running through IPv6. The network’s QoS was measured by the number of drops, for each flow (either QoS or Best Effort traffic), occurred in routers. The first experiment shows the captured packets during a node association and request for QoS, namely a G...
Purpose: We evaluated the association between risk of obesity in the Portuguese population and two obesity-related single-nucleotide gene polymorphisms: fat-mass and obesity-associated (FTO) rs9939609 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) rs1801282. Patients and methods: A total of 194 Portuguese premenopausal female Caucasians aged between 18 and 50 years (95 with body mass index [BMI] ≥...
In this work, the volatile chromatographic profiles of roasted Arabica coffees, previously analyzed for their sensorial attributes, were explored by principal component analysis. The volatile extraction technique used was the solid phase microextraction. The correlation optimized warping algorithm was used to align the gas chromatographic profiles. Fifty four compounds were found to be related to the sensorial ...
JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A anestesia peridural é utilizada para alívio da dor no trabalho de parto e está associada a baixos índices de complicações. Estudos com enantiômeros levógiros dos anestésicos locais demonstraram maior segurança em função da menor cardiotoxicidade. Este estudo teve o objetivo de avaliar a latência e a duração da analgesia e as repercussões maternas e fetais com o emprego da bupivacaín...

The Cerrado biome, the second largest biome in Neotropical region, consists of a mosaic of different habitat types, ranging from open grasslands to dense woodlands and dry forests. An intensive recent occupation process has transformed it into the most important region for cattle ranching and intensive commodity crops in Brazil. In this study, a macroecological approach was used to evaluate broad-scale spatial ...

The reasons that led to the revision a...
The relationship between Knowledge Management (KM) practices and organizational performance is assessed in this work. A theoretical and systemic model named Quality Knowledge Management (QKM) is used. The themes research is related to the fields of study of Knowledge Management and Information Science (according with the broad view of Information Science proposed by Bertram C. Brookes). The QKM model is based o...
A espondilopatia cervical uma patologia de etiologia multifactorial, que leva a um estreitamento do canal vertebral e consequentemente compressão da medula espinhal cervical caudal e das raízes nervosas, devido a alterações anatómicas e posicionais ao nível das vértebras cervicais (C5, C6 e C7). Os animais afectados, mais frequentemente raças grandes (Dobermen e Dogue Alemão) podem apresentar ataxia dos membros...
