OBJECTIVE: Recent evidence suggests that higher peripheral levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) are associated with poorer cognitive function and predict future cognitive decline among the elderly. The curr…
The first objective of this study was to determine whether LH and testosterone respond differently to a naloxone injection in relation to varying sexual performance in rams. If differences occurred, t…
Group-living animals commonly display differences in behaviour, physiology and endocrine profiles between conspecifics within the group, which are tightly linked to reproduction. Teleosts exhibit a va…
Light propagation in human dentin exhibits a strong directional dependence featuring the long-known optical magnification property. We hypothesized that this anisotropic effect is caused by multiple s…
Scan-LED-technology is a new rapid prototyping technique with increasing applications in the production of custom-made medical products. The present work is dealing with the examination of a silica/ur…
The principal objective of this study was to determine the effect of a short period of severe dietary zinc restriction on both prebreakfast and postbreakfast plasma zinc concentrations. After an overn…
The lower limits of photosynthetically useable radiation at which growth and photosynthesis can occur establish the lower boundaries for the extent of photolithotrophy in the biosphere. Photolithotrop…
A comparative analysis of stereo-electronic properties of five cholinesterase reactivators (pralidoxime (2- PAM), trimedoxime, obidoxime, HI-6, and HLo-7) and six "K-oximes" was performed to assess th…
This study assessed the effects of episodic contamination on a drainage canal adjacent to an area of intensive rice production (Coimbra, Portugal). Four monitoring periods were considered [i) before h…
Early solidification is investigated using two different simulation techniques: the molecular dynamics (MD) and the phase-field (PF) methods. While the first describes the evolution of a system on the…
The purpose of this study was to evaluate selective caries removal using an air-abrasive technique. Alumina powders, glass beads, crushed glass powders, and crushed powders of polycarbonate resin were…
Reticuloendothelial system (RES) clearance function correlates with the mortality rate associated with stresses that can induce shock. Likewise, experimental rat heat stress (ERHS) mortality rate is a…
