Acorns have traditionally been used in the human diet and for the treatment of specific diseases. Therefore, the present study performed a systematic review of studies which investigated the effects of Quercus spp. extracts in cancer prevention and treatment. A systematic literature search was performed for original records which addressed the anticancer effects of Quercus spp. extract in in vitro and in vivo c...
The nutritional requirements of novel microalgal strains are key for their effective cultivation and metabolite content. Therefore, the optimization of heterotrophic and photoautotrophic culture media is crucial for novel Chlorococcum amblystomatis growth. Heterotrophic and photoautotrophic biomass samples were characterized to identify the differences between their heterotrophic and photoautotrophic biomass co...
ABSTRACT: The nutritional requirements of novel microalgal strains are key for their effective cultivation and metabolite content. Therefore, the optimization of heterotrophic and photoautotrophic culture media is crucial for novel Chlorococcum amblystomatis growth. Heterotrophic and photoautotrophic biomass samples were characterized to identify the differences between their heterotrophic and photoautotrophic ...
Na tarde do dia 12 de Junho de 1930, a convite do Jornal O Século, realizou-se no salão da Ilustração Portuguesa a conferência-concerto “Considerações sobre o Lied”. Totalmente realizado por mulheres, entre as compositoras e intérpretes presentes encontram-se personalidades como Júlia Oceana, Bertha-Rosa Limpo, Francine Benoît e Maria Antonieta de Lima Cruz. O concerto foi integrado nas “Festas do Século” e o c...
Microalgae have received increasing attention as one of the most promising feedstocks in the development of new healthier food products and different strategies have been attempted to improve their growth. However, the high production costs and low productivities, commonly associated with photoautotrophic growths, are still a big challenge. In this study, a two-step optimization strategy was carried out in orde...
Microalgae have become a promising novel and sustainable feedstock for meeting the rising demand for food and feed. However, microalgae-based products are currently hindered by high production costs. One major reason for this is that commonly cultivated wildtype strains do not possess the robustness and productivity required for successful industrial production. Several strain improvement technologies have been...
Durante os anos em que se dedicou à divulgação musical através da organização de concertos temáticos (1923-1939), Ema Câmara Reis (1897-1968) dedicou- se também à recolha de partituras (impressas ou manuscritas). O seu arquivo musical é uma fonte inesgotável de informação sobre repertórios e compositores de inúmeras nacionalidades. De entre as mais de 299 entradas gerais que se puderam identificar, existem cerc...
Between 1923 and 1939, the singer Ema Câmara Reis organized a regular concert series. These 134 concerts were held in private homes, as Reis belonged to an affluent family, within the context of female sociabilities, and with a rather selective guest list. Among the concerts she organised, two stand out for being entirely dedicated to Portuguese music and for including works by women composers. Since her archiv...
The archive as a concept and source of knowledge comes from ancient Greece (Derrida 1996), establishing itself during the Middle Ages (LeGoff 1992). However, it is during the modern age that it assumes its relevance for the understanding of national issues, communities, or individuals (Osborne 1999; Featherstone 2000). In recent years, some publications have related this concept to performance research, namely ...
