Extraction of target structures in learners' corpora: CQL queries for the explo...
Amaro, Raquel; Carreira, Alexandre; Vieira, Alice; Castro, Cláudia; Leong, EsmeraldaForeign language (FL) or second language (L2) corpora are sets of productions by non-native speakers, learners of a given language, which contemplate the errors and well-formed structures produced. These serve different research objectives, such as studies on language acquisition (LE and L2), phenomena of linguistic interference or analysis and diagnosis of LE/L2 proficiency levels. In the context of this resea...
Development of a chicken gastrointestinal tract (GIT) simulation model: impact ...
Carvalho, Nelson Mota de; Costa, Célia Maria; Castro, Cláudia; Saleh, Mayra Anton Dib; Pintado, Manuela Estevez; Oliveira, Diana LuaziA chicken gastrointestinal tract (GIT) simulation model was developed to help predict the potential effects of feed additives supplementation on chicken’ microbiota. The chemical and enzymatic conditions for oral, gastric, intestinal, and cecum fermentation phases were designed to closely resemble the chicken GIT conditions. For cecum fermentation, the inoculum was obtained from the cecal contents of 18 38-day ...

Carvalho, Maria João; Pinto-Ribeiro, Inês; Castro, Cláudia; Pedrosa, Sílvia Santos; Oliveira, Ana L. S.; Pintado, Manuela; Madureira, Ana RaquelDuring cosmetic product development, the impact on the skin microbiota needs to be evaluated, as it plays an important role in skin health. Clinical studies are frequently used to assess cosmetic effects, but are expensive, time-consuming and require finished ingredients, which may be a limiting factor. Thus, this study had two main objectives, the development of a preclinical in vitro model for the evaluation ...

Castro, CláudiaA realidade das pessoas que são portadoras do Virus da Imunodeficiência Humana (VIH) e com o Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida (SIDA) vem sofrendo mudanças significativas ao longo de quase quatro décadas. A terapêutica antirretroviral (TAR) promoveu o aumento das taxas de sobrevida das pessoas infectadas. Ainda assim, a invasão do VIH no cérebro ocorre desde os primeiros momentos da entrada do vírus no org...
