The communications are a key factor for the social and economical progress. The technologic development and the generalised use of the communication systems in the everyday life, increase the demand for broadband systems and high transmission technologies. In this scenario new market opportunities arise as well as new regulation challenges. This article presents an overview of the Communications Sector in Portu...
Whey cheeses have been manufactured with probiotic bacteria e viz. Bifidobacterium animalis Bo and Lactobacillus casei LAFTIrL26, from combinations of bovine whey and milk, following protein denaturation at 90 ºC; they were subsequently inoculated (at 10%) with those strains, and homogenized afterwards; additives such as salt and sugar were then incorporated; and the resulting solid matrices were stored at 7º C...
Processing of whey proteins yields several bioactive peptides that can trigger physiological effects in the human body: on the nervous system via their opiate and ileum-contracting activities; on the cardiovascular system via their antithrombotic and antihypertensive activities; on the immune system via their antimicrobial and antiviral activities; and on the nutrition system via their digestibility and hypocho...
The present work concerns the study of preparation processes when this operation is preceded by a CORONA discharge made on dry raw fabrics. The influence in the whiteness degree, hydrophility, starch removal and uniformity of properties of the cellulosic material after preparation is studied. Combined preparation processes are widely used in order to replace solutions where desizing, alkaline boiling and bleach...
The preparation and dyeing of cellulosic fabrics hás important problems such as uniformity of aspect, cleaning efficiency, level of bleaching, conformity and fastness of colours, and ecological impact. Combination of preparation processes can give optimal solutions, regarding economy and ecology, especially if superior quality items are achieved in final products. In fact, high standards concerning whiteness, s...
Various foods may be used to deliver probiotic bacteria into the gastrointestinal tract; one such example is Requeijão, a Portuguese whey cheese. Survival and stability of Bifidobacterium animalis strains BLC-1, Bb-12, and Bo, Lactobacillus acidophilus strains LAC-1 and Ki, L. paracasei ssp. paracasei strain LCS-1 and L. brevis strain LMG 6906 inoculated into Requeijão, when exposed to simulated gastrointestina...
Textile industry has an important impact in world economy and consequently on environmental quality of life. Textile processing uses huge amount of water, chemicals and energy and it is quite easy to conclude about the enormous meaning of pollution control and rationalization of energetic demands. CORONA treatment in the wet processing of cotton textile materials has a great potential concerning the improvement...
