Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an important cause of women's health and socio-familial severe problems, the most extreme being the victims' homicide. This is the first nationwide Portuguese autopsy-based and judicial-proven study about female intimate partner homicide. At least 62 women over 15 years old were killed by current or former men-intimate partners, corresponding to an IPV-related female mortalit...
Carbo-nitride synthesis was undertaken using a solar furnace at PSA in flowing N2/Ar gas mixture under total pressure 1 atm and processing temperature T = 1600ºC for some d-group transition elements (Ti; Zr, V, Nb, Mo, W) starting from 1.5G/M (graphite/metal powder mixture with mole ratio 1.5:1) compact to ensure co-presence of free carbon with the reaction product. Clear X-ray diffraction (XRD) evidence of for...
Flowing gaseous ammonia NH3 with suppressed extent of dissociation (un-cracked NH3) is acknowledged to function as a powerful nitriding medium to realize formation of metal nitride MNx with considerably high N/M ratio x that cannot be achieved through reaction of M with N2 gas. For example, mono-nitride d-MoN of Mo and e-FeNx phase of Fe with x = 0.33 ˜ 0.50 (i. e. hypo-stoichiometric sub-nitride e-Fe2N) were r...
Mephedrone is a semisynthetic derivative of cathinone used as a drug of abuse. Similar to amphetamine, both in chemical structure and associated symptoms, has gained popularity since 2007 and it is currently the sixth most popular drug among United Kingdom users. It can be easily purchased on the Internet or smart shops and it is more advantageous than ecstasy, given its higher purity and lower price. Mephedron...
The forensic toxicology (TF) is a science of analytical basis, aiming to clarify legal issues related to poisoning, whether or not fatal, within the various areas of law (criminal, civil, labor, etc.). The analysis that are more often requested (with a tendency to increase and gaining rising attention) are those concerning the procedures involving supervision of driving under the influence of alcohol and psycho...
Compositional heterogeneity along the thickness of compacted disc specimens of graphite/tungsten powder mixtures with substoichiometric carbon atom ratios (0.35, 0.50 and 1.00) heated by concentrated solar beam to 1600 C was characterised by X-ray diffraction. Top surface of any examined test piece was consisted purely of mono-carbide WC while the bottom surface showed different constitution depending on the ne...
Analisaram-se as causas da rotura prematura da peia da barra de união de cascos de um catamrã. Esta era constituída por um cabo com diâmetro de 16mm composto por 19 arames de aço inoxidável de 3mm de diâmetro dispostos num enrolamento Warrington de duas camadas. O cabo estava cravado ne extremidade de um perno roscado de aço inox que o ligava à barra e o mantinha esticado. A rotura ocorreu no encastramento. Um...
Com o desenvolvimento dos meios técnicos de representação, e a sua consequente utilização, introduzem-se novos elementos no debate e contexto artístico. A utilização dos meios audiovisuais e das novas tecnologias de comunicação introduziram inúmeros aspectos conceptuais e estéticos relacionados com novas questões de percepção. Visto como parente do cinema e da televisão, pela partilha a mesma linguagem, a vídeo...
There are a number of distinguishable carbide phases in the binary Mo-C system depending on C/Mo ratio as well as on temperature. In a preceding work published in this journal, carbide formation performance for graphite/molybdenum powder mixtures at specified levels of substoichiometric C/Mo atom ratio (C/Mo = 1/1, 3/4, 2/3 and 1/2) by exposure to concentrated solar radiation in a solar furnace at PROMESCNRS in...
The approach to victims of sexual crimes is of special complexity due to the nature of this kind of crime, the impact of victimization and the specificity of judicial investigation procedures. The absence of physical evidence and the secrecy that characterizes the majority of sexual victimization cases frequently lead the victim's story to be used as one of few proof elements. Given the importance of the inform...
