Description :
Aims: Salmonella is a worldwide foodborne pathogen causing acute enteric
infections in humans. In the recent years, the use of bacteriophages has been
suggested as a possible tool to combat this zoonotic pathogen in poultry farms.
This work aims to isolate and perform comparative studies of a group ...

Popularity functions, partisan effects, and support in parliament
Description :
This paper analyzes the popularity of the main political entities in Portugal. Estimation results of popularity functions validate the responsibility hypothesis, with unemployment, and to a lesser extent inflation, affecting popularity levels. There is also evidence of personality effects, of popula...

Description :
Secreted aspartic proteinases (Sap) have been described as virulence factors implicated in the mechanisms of host colonization by the yeast Candida albicans in different types of candidiasis. Intraperitoneal inoculation of C. albicans into BALB/c mice rapidly leads to systemic candidiasis, with sign...

A versatile reactor for continuous monitoring of biofilm properties in laboratory and industrial conditions
Description :
Aims: The understanding of the dynamics of surface microbial colonization with concomitant monitoring of biofilm formation requires the development of biofilm reactors that enable direct and real-time evaluation under different hydrodynamic conditions.
Methods and Results: This work proposes and dis...

Inflation targeting, exchange rate volatility and international policy coordination
Description :
In a linear rational expectations two-country model, using an ag- gregate demand, aggregate supply framework, we analyse the ejects of the adoption of an inflation targeting regime on exchange rate volatility and the possible scope for policy oordination. This analysis is conducted using optimized i...

Effect of sulfate on methanogenic communities that degrade unsaturated and saturated long-chain fatty acids (LCFA)
Description :
Anaerobic bacteria involved in the degradation of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA), in the presence of sulfate as electron acceptor, were studied by combined cultivation-dependent and molecular techniques. The bacterial diversity in four mesophilic sulfate-reducing enrichment cultures, growing on oleat...

Mantle-like Sr-Nd isotope composition of Fe-K subalkaline granites : the Peneda-Gerês Variscan massif (NW Iberian Peninsula)
Description :
The Peneda-Gerês massif is one of the most representative NW Iberian late- to post-orogenic Variscan granitic plutons. It resulted essentially from the subsynchronous emplacement, at 290-296 Ma, of two granitic magmas of Fe-K subalkaline affinity, with primitive isotopic composition: Sri = 0.703-0.7...

Carbohydrate carbon sources induce loss of flocculation of an ale-brewing yeast strain
Description :
Aims: To identify the nutrients that can trigger the loss of flocculation under growth conditions in an ale-brewing strain, Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC 1195.
Methods and Results: Flocculation was evaluated using the method of Soares, EX. and Vroman, A. [Journal of Applied Microbiology (2003) 95, ...

The influence of field strength, sugar and solid content on electric conductivity of strawberry products
Description :
The effects of field strength, soluble solids (from 14 to 59.5 ºBrix) and particle size (using two size distributions) on electrical conductivity were investigated. Electrical conductivity increased with temperature for all the products and conditions tested following linear or quadratic relations. ...
