Stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is an economically important forest species in some regions of Iberian Peninsula. Portugal and Spain have nearly 500,000 ha of stone pine stands, representing 85% of worldwide distribution. The main use of this species is for the production of seeds (pinion) for food industry. In addition to its enormous profitability as a producer of seeds, it has beneficial impact on soil protectio...
In the modern society, an ever increasing number of pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) is used for the treatment and prevention of various diseases. Ingested drugs are only partially absorbed by the organisms and studies have shown that the excreted compounds are only partially removed in the sewage treatment plants (STPs) [1]. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug taken to reduce inflammati...
A presença de compostos farmacêuticos e seus metabolitos no ambiente aquático tornou-se nos últimos anos um problema ambiental emergente. Assim, tornou-se essencial o desenvolvimento de processos de remoção mais eficientes, como o tratamento de efluentes com leitos construídos de macrófitas (LCM) que, em muitos casos, tem permitido a obtenção de águas residuais finais de boa qualidade. Este trabalho teve como o...
A 3-bp insertion/deletion polymorphism in intron 6 of GSTM3 (rs1799735, GSTM3*A/*B) affects the activity of the phase 2 xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme GSTM3 and has been associated with increased cancer risk. The GSTM3*B allele is rare or absent in Southeast Asians, occurs in 5-20% of Europeans but was detected in 80% of Bantu from South Africa. The wide genetic diversity among Africans led us to investigate wh...
Este estudo pretende demonstrar se a cognição dos idosos pode ou não ser afectada pela estimulação com imagens, assim como se estes criaram estratégias de memorização para acertarem nas imagens ou desenvolveram algum tipo de aprendizagem. Participaram dez idosos institucionalizados no estudo e a estes foi aplicado o Mini-exame mental para avaliar a cognição e para averiguar se ocorriam alterações cognitivas ao ...
The evaluation of a SBR performance treating synthetic and fishery wastewater was performed. Without salt addition, COD and ammonia removal rates over than 50% were obtained, indicating the occurrence of the first nitrification step and COD removal. With 0.5% salt, removal rates lower than 60% were attained, for ammonia removal efficiency probably due to ionic strength changes and cellular plasmolysis leading t...
In this Case Study, we want recognize the aquisition of Skills ("Benchmark") of Dietitian, through Interships.
