Diopatra neapolitana Delle Chiaje, 1841 (Annelida, Onuphidae) is an important economic natural resource in Ria de Aveiro (northwestern coast of Portugal) and throughout Europe. The species is intensively harvested for use as fresh bait. However, there is only limited knowledge about its life cycle derived from a previous study in Mediterranean Sea. Reproduction and development patterns are known to vary biogeog...
The load forecast is part of the global management of the electrical networks, namely at the transport and distribution levels. This type of methodologies allows to the system operator, to establish and take some important decisions concerning to the mix production and network management, with the minimum of discretionarity. The load forecast in particularly the peak load forecast, represents an important econ...
This paper presents a classical controller with parameters adaptation capability, in an automatic way. This controller is based on a PID where a parameters adaptation algorithm is used and applied to the switched reluctance motor (SRM) speed control. This PID design do not require any kind of adjustment or calibration from the operator. The parameters adaptation algorithm implemented is based on one fuzzy syste...
Com o objetivo de avaliar a possibilidade de utilização da melancia (Citrullus lanatus) na alimentação de ruminantes caracterizou-se o fruto do ponto de vista nutricional e formulou-se um regime alimentar para ovelhas em lactação. A melancia apresenta elevados teores em PB (14,47%MS ±4,54) e NFC (53,80%MS ±8,89) e baixos teores em MS (3,80% ±1,62), NDF (20,63%MS ±2,80) e ADF (18,39%MS ±2,93). Utilizando a técni...
Heart failure (HF) is one of the major health and economic burdens worldwide, and its prevalence is continuously increasing. The study of HF requires reliable animal models to study the chronic changes and pharmacologic interventions in myocardial structure and function and to follow its progression toward HF. Indeed, during the past 40 years, basic and translational scientists have used small animal models to ...
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) plays a critical role in calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Interestingly, in two forms of hyperparathyroidism (excessive amount of PTH in the serum), the metabolic disturbances in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) significantly differ from those with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP). Since an intuitive understanding of these PTH-linked regulatory mechanisms are hardly possib...
Estimaram-se as herdabilidades para os efeitos genéticos direto e materno e as correlações genéticas entre essas variáveis para os pesos ao desmame (P205), ao ano (P365) e ao sobreano (P550) em um rebanho Nelore do norte de Minas Gerais. O modelo estatístico incluiu os efeitos aditivos direto e materno, os efeitos fixos de grupo de contemporâneos (fazenda, sexo, regime alimentar, estação (seca e água) e ano de ...
