Biological and technical study of a partial-SHARON reactor at laboratory scale:...

This study was on the technical and biological characteristics of a partial-SHARON submerged-filter bioreactor of 3 L. The main focus was the influence of the hydraulic retention time (HRT) on biofilms. For this purpose, we used molecular tools based on the partial 16S rRNA genes. The results showed that the HRT may affect the nitrification processes of a bioreactor using synthetic wastewater containing 600 mg/...

Effect of aeration on steady-state conditions in non- and partially aerated low...

Excessive growth of biomass and retention of solids associated with air bubbles lead to bed clogging, which affects the biofilters' performance. Two experiments were carried out in a submerged biofilter at the flow velocity of 0.5 m h(-1), for an organic loading rate of 51 g C m(-3) h(-1) and a nitrogen loading rate of 13 g NH4-N m(-3) h(-1), one with the biofilter not aerated, the other with the biofilter part...

Is the Murciano-Granadina a single goat breed? A molecular genetics approach

The population structure of the Murciano-Granadina breed was determined using 25 microsatellites from 266 goats of seven populations. The results of the genetic differentiation analysis showed that it is possible to differentiate the Murciana and Granadina populations even though a low F ST value (0.0432) had been obtained. Individuals could be assigned to their populations with a success rate of more than 80%....

Qualidade microbiológica de queijo-coalho comercializado em Aracaju, SE

Determinou-se a ocorrência de Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp. e de microrganismos indicadores de contaminação fecal em queijos-coalho comercializados em 15 pontos de venda do Mercado Central de Aracaju, SE, durante quatro meses. Dezesseis amostras (26,7%) foram positivas para Salmonella spp. e 28 (46,7%) positivas para estafilococos coagulase positiva. Quanto à contaminação por coliformes totais, 56 (93,...

Diversity among satellite glial cells in dorsal root ganglia of the rat

Peripheral glial cells consist of satellite, enteric glial, and Schwann cells. In dorsal root ganglia, besides pseudo-unipolar neurons, myelinated and nonmyelinated fibers, macrophages, and fibroblasts, satellite cells also constitute the resident components. Information on satellite cells is not abundant; however, they appear to provide mechanical and metabolic support for neurons by forming an envelope surrou...

Cultural adaptation and validation of the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support...

The aim of this study was the assesment of psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the instrument "Medical Outcomes Study - Social Support Survey (MOSSSS)". This questionnaire has been translated and adapted in a Portuguese sample of 101 patients with chronic illness of a rural health centre in Portugal. The average age of patients was 63.4 years, 56.4% female. 29% were illiterate and 2% had comple...

Genetic diversity in native and commercial breeds of pigs in Portugal assessed ...

Population structure and genetic diversity in the Portuguese native breeds of pigs Alentejano (AL), Bísaro (BI), and Malhado de Alcobaça (MA) and the exotic breeds Duroc (DU), Landrace (LR), Large White (LW), and Pietrain were analyzed by typing 22 microsatellite markers in 249 individuals. In general, the markers used were greatly polymorphic, with mean total and effective number of alleles per locus of 10.68 ...
