Tuberculose disseminada - um caso de difícil diagnóstico

Contaminated water, stream sediments and soils close to the abandoned Pinhal do...

The Pinhal do Souto mine exploited a quartz vein containing uranium minerals, mainly autunite and torbernite. This vein intersects a two-mica granite containing 10 ppm U and uraninite. The mine was exploited underground and produced 93,091 kg U3O8 between 1978 and 1989 and was then closed down. Two dumps were left in the mine area and these are partially covered by natural vegetation. Groundwater and surface wa...

Relationship between ultrasound measurements of body fat reserves and body cond...

Several methods have been developed to monitor body fat reserves of farm animals and body condition scoring (BCS) is generally assumed to be the most practical. Objective methods, such as real time ultrasonography (RTU), are accepted methods for measuring fat reserves in several farm species but there is no published information about the use of RTU to monitor body fat reserves in donkeys. The aim of the presen...

Variabilidad espacial y temporal del vigor vegetativo en viñedo sin restriccion...

Aunque generalmente se asume que la respuesta de un cultivo a la dosis de riego seleccionada es homogénea en la totalidad del área cultivada, en la mayoría de los casos esto no se corresponde con la realidad. En este trabajo se presenta un estudio de la variabilidad espacial y temporal del vigor vegetativo en el cultivo del viñedo, mediante el uso de índices de vegetación (NDVI) y la elaboración de los correspo...

Uso de la viticultura de precisión como herramienta de gestión del riego en viñ...

Este artigo tenta mostrar a utilidade dos índices de vegetação, nomeadamente o NDVI, para a gestão da rega da vinha. É analisada a evolução do vigor vegetativo da vinha ao longo da campanha, através de medições de NDVI, e as diferenças causadas nesse mesmo vigor por diferentes dotações de rega, num ensaio com vários tratamentos de rega deficitária.

Variations in salivary function in a rodent model of pre-diabetes

Diabetes is a widespread disease representing an enormous part of the total health costs. An early diagnostic could be of extremely importance both for the understanding and prevention of this pathology. Saliva is a fluid with increasing interest as a source of biomarkers for disease diagnostic and saliva protein composition changes have already been reported for diabetic individuals. However, the studies were ...

Self-mated tribological systems based on multilayer micro/nanocrystalline CVD d...

The tribological response of multilayer micro/nanocrystalline diamond coatings grown by the hot filament CVD technique is investigated. These multigrade systems were tailored to comprise a starting microcrystalline diamond (MCD) layer with high adhesion to a silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramic substrate, and a top nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) layer with reduced surface roughness. Tribological tests were carried ou...

Silver colloidal nanoparticles : effect on matrix composition and structure of ...

Aim : The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different silver nanoparticles (SN) concentrations on the matrix composition and structure of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata biofilms. Methods and Results : Candida biofilms were developed in 6-well microtiter plates during 48 h. After, these biofilms were exposed to 13·5 or 54 μg SN ml−1 for 24 h. Then, extracellular matrices were extracted from bi...

Prototype and methodology for the characterization of the polymer-calibrator in...

The extrusion of technical thermoplastics profiles generally uses a dry calibration/cooling system, composed by one or several calibrators in series. One of the major difficulties to be faced when modelling this important stage is an adequate prescription of the heat transfer coefficient, hinterface, between the plastic profile surface and the cooling medium, which must include the effect of the interface conta...

Functionalization of cork agglomerate composite with pcm microcapsules after db...

This research intends to study the influence of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma treatment on the adsorption of Phase Change Materials (PCM) microcapsules applied to cork agglomerate laminated with a polymer membrane. Several experimental techniques were used to evaluate cork and membrane surface modification after plasma treatment and the influence on the microcapsules adsorption, namely, Static and D...
