Sheep whole body composition predicted by in vivo real time ultrasound measurem...

Accurate measurement of changes in body composition and in the energy content of live animals is crucial to understand the responses to the intake of nutrients. Despite the accuracy of the serial slaughter technique in determining body composition, it is very expensive and comparisons within an animal became impossible thus the need for an accurate method to predict body composition in the live animal is obviou...

Effects of strain and age on ear wound healing and regeneration in mice

Round holes in the ears of MRL mice tend to close with characteristics of regeneration believed to be absent in other mouse strains (e.g., C57BL/6). We evaluated the kinetics and the histopathology of ear wound closure in young (8 weeks old) C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice. We also used middle-aged (40 weeks old) C57BL/6 mice to evaluate the influence of aging on this process. A circular through-and-through hole was ma...

Fatigue in a cohort of geriatric patients with and without Parkinson's disease

We evaluated the frequency of fatigue in geriatric patients with and without Parkinson's disease (PD) and correlated it with depression and excessive daytime sleepiness. We evaluated 100 patients from Hospital São Paulo, 50 with PD from the Neurologic Outpatient Clinic and 50 with non-neurologic diseases or oncologic diseases from the Geriatric Outpatient Clinic (controls). All patients who scored 28 or more on...

Ilhas Oceânicas

Os arquipélagos dos Açores e Madeira constituem as duas zonas insulares portuguesas. Localizados no Oceano Atlântico, estes dois arquipélagos possuem uma importância estratégica em termos de zona económica exclusiva e em termos militares (e.g., Base Americana das Lajes na ilha Terceira). Na sua qualidade de ilhas oceânicas isoladas possuem igualmente ecossistemas singulares (e.g., a floresta de Laurissilva da M...

Avaliação da qualidade sensorial de carne de borrego Terincho. Efeito do sexo e...

O objectivo principal deste trabalho e a caracterização sensorial de Borrego Terrincho, um produto com Denominação de Origem Protegida. Foram estudados os efeitos do sexo e do peso da carcaça. Foram avaliados as atributos sensoriais de dureza, suculência, intensidade e qualidade do flavour, intensidade do odor, fibrosidade, intensidade do sabor doce e aceitabilidade geral, em 28 fêmeas e 29 machos agrupados em ...

O modelo SASIS: validação da simulação da irrigação por sulco

Nesta pesquisa se objetivou validar a simulação da irrigação por sulco, realizada pelo modelo SASIS através do procedimento matemático de ondas cinemáticas. Utilizam-se, na validação do modelo SASIS, 7 conjuntos de dados que representam diferentes condições de campo, em que o comprimento de sulco variou de 67 a 403 m, a declividade de 0,0016 a 0,0173 m m-1, a vazão de 1,1 a 2,0 L s-1 e o tipo de textura do solo...

Design and FPGA prototyping of a H: 264/AVC main profile decoder for HDTV

This paper presents the architecture, design, validation, and hardware prototyping of the main architectural blocks of main profile H.264/AVC decoder, namely the blocks: inverse transforms and quantization, intra prediction, motion compensation and deblocking filter, for a main profile H.264/AVC decoder. These architectures were designed to reach high throughputs and to be easily integrated with the other H.264...

Photocatalysis as a tertiary treatment for petroleum refinery wastewaters

Photocatalysis has been used as tertiary treatment for petroleum refinery wastewaters to comply with the regulatory discharge limits and to oxidize persistent compounds that had not been oxidized in the biological treatment. The wastewater is generated by the refinery and directly discharged into the Guanabara Bay (Rio de Janeiro). Although BOD removal is high, a residual and persistent COD, besides a somewhat ...
