Our aim in this study was to investigate whether well-differentiated GEP-NETs were associated with obesity and MetS. Patients with well-differentiated GEP-NETs (...

The influence of the thickness of the walls and their properties on the treatme...
Torres, I; Vasco Peixoto De FreitasIntervention in older buildings increasingly requires extensive and objective knowledge of what one will be working with.

Our research allows us to conclude that the most efficient way of treating rising damp is by ventilating the wa...
