ABSTRACT: A short review of battery recycling technologies is presented. Main components and materials of battery cells, modules and packs are identified, highlighting their compositions and contents. Main component of packs is aluminium, followed by the cathode materials, anode materials, copper and polymers. Safe discharge of the spent batteries is mandatory, and the subsequent dismantling allows separation a...
The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) data from 19 Portuguese Variscan granite plutons, spanning 320–296 Ma, has been consolidated and reinterpreted. This comprehensive dataset, including 876 sampling sites and over 7,080 AMS measurements, provides new insights into the tectonic evolution of the region. Magnetic susceptibility (Km) values range from 30 to 10,436 × 10 SI, with most granites exhibiting ...
Introduction: Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X-linked neuromuscular disease caused by variants in the DMD gene that leads to progressive muscle weakness, dilated cardiomyopathy, and neurodevelopmental issues. Objective: To characterize patients with BMD from a pediatric neuromuscular disease center. Methods: Retrospective and descriptive study of BMD patients diagnosed between January 1995 and May 2024. ...
Since 2017, several initiatives have been created in Portugal to enhance wildfire resilience by protecting people and assets, promoting fuel management, and reducing vegetation density and continuity near built-up areas. This study analyzed how the “Safe Villages” and "Safe People" programs, launched in Portugal in 2018, have been implemented in relation to the territorial and demographic characteristics of the...
INTRODUÇÂO: As lesões vasculares iatrogénicas são uma causa importante de morbilidade e mortalidade após intervenções cirúrgicas ortopédicas ou neurocirúrgicas. Neste artigo, os autores apresentam dois casos clinicos de quasi-iatrogenia vascular. CASOS CLÍNICOS: Dois casos, um procedimento ortopédico e um procedimento neurocirúrgico, são apresentados. O primeiro caso refere-se a uma mulher de 80 anos com migraç...
As bioindicators, freshwater bivalves are crucial for the assessment of the contamination impact on different levels of biological integration. Escherichia coli is used as a bioindicator of water fecal contamination, representing a critical global concern, especially with the rise of multidrugresistant (MDR) strains. Phylogenetic diversity, pathotypic characterization, and antibiotic resistance profiles of E. c...
