Wearable biopotential measurement using the TI ADS1198 analog front-end and tex...

The development of mobile systems for monitoring bioelectric signals outside a hospital environment involves many challenges that do not arise when it is in a controlled environment, like a hospital. The dimensions of these systems are an important factor to consider in order to facilitate their use without interfering with the daily activities of individuals. The purpose of this work is the implementation of a...

Cyclic voltammetry : a tool to quantify 2,4,6-trichloroanisole in aqueous sampl...

Chloroanisoles, namely 2,4,6-trichloroanisole, are pointed out as the primary responsible of the development of musty off-flavours in bottled wine, due to their migration from cork stoppers, which results in huge economical losses for wine industry. A prevention step is the detection of these compounds in cork planks before stoppers are produced. Mass spectrometry gas chromatography is the reference method used...

Deficiências minerais em Scorzonera hispanica. Sintomas e efeitos no crescimento

A escorcioneira (Scorzonera hispanica L.), de ocorrência espontânea na Península Ibérica, é cultivada pela sua raiz tuberosa. Com o objectivo de tipificar sintomas de deficiências minerais em escorcioneira cultivaram-se plântulas em diferentes soluções nutritivas durante 15 dias, estudando-se o crescimento e produção de biomassa aérea e radicular. Uma solução nutritiva completa serviu de referência, consistindo...

A recursive process related to a partizan variation of wythoff

Wythoff queens is a classical combinatorial game related to very interesting mathematical results. An amazing one is the fact that the P-positions are given by $(\lfloor \phi n, \phi^2 n \rfloor)$ and $(\lfloor \phi^2 n, \phi n \rfloor)$ where $\phi = \frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}$. In this paper, we analyze a different version where one player (Left) plays with a chess bishop and the other (Right) plays with a chess ...

Determination of 2,4,6-trichloroanisole by cyclic voltammetry

The electrochemical reduction of 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA), a chlorinated arene with electron-donating substituents, was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). TCA is a major concern for the winery industry since it is related with “cork taint”, a wine defect. The results obtained showed that CV could be used to detect and quantify TCA in standard solutions. Linear relationships could be set between the curre...

New potential antitumoral di(hetero)arylether derivatives in the thieno[3,2-b]p...

New fluorescent methoxylated di(hetero)arylethers in the thieno[3,2-b]pyridine series were prepared by a copper-catalyzed Ullmann-type C-O coupling of the methyl 3-amino-6-bromothieno[3,2-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate with ortho, meta and para-methoxyphenols, using N,N-dimethylglycine as the ligand and Cs2CO3 as the base. The compounds obtained were tested for their inhibitory growth activity in three human tumor c...

Study on the use of Typha spp. for the phytotreatment of water contaminated wit...

Several studies on phytotoxic effects caused by organic xenobiotics and their removal from water by macrophytes have already been performed to evaluate the usefulness of these plants for phytoremediation technologies. In this context, a study was conducted to assess Typha spp.’s ability to withstand and remove, from water, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen. For an initial ibuprofen concentratio...

In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility evaluation of k-carrageenan hydrogels aim...

Introduction The development of biomaterials for biomedical applications always requires extensive biological testing to demonstrate the safety of both the material and its degradation components. K-carrageenan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide which forms a hydrogel with potassium ions and the temperature-induced gelation enables its application as an in vitro cell-carrier or as an in vivo injectable sys...

Synthesis of di(hetero)arylethers in the thieno[3,2-b]pyridine series by copper...

Understanding the mechanisms of glutamine action in critically ill patients

Glutamine (Gln) is an important energy source and has been used as a supplementary energy substrate. Furthermore, Gln is an essential component for numerous metabolic functions, including acid-base homeostasis, gluconeogenesis, nitrogen transport and synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids. Therefore, glutamine plays a significant role in cell homeostasis and organ metabolism. This article aims to review the me...
