Background: The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is a fundamental health indicator that reflects the overall well-being of populations. Recognizing the need for more timely data to inform public health strategies, the authors have presented a novel method for monitoring IMR monthly instead of traditional annual reporting. Our work aims to increase further the robustness of a novel method for monitoring IMR monthly. ...
Diclidophora (Monogenea) species are gill parasites with a stenoxenic specifcity occurring only in Gadiformes. Epidemiologi‑cal, morphological, molecular and phylogenetic studies were performed on 594 Diclidophora specimens collected from 213 Trisopterus luscus captured in the northeast Atlantic of the Portuguese coast during 2012, 2013 and 2020. Prevalence, parasite abundance and infection intensity were deter...
Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in men, with a huge impact on their health. The use of Castanea sativa Mill. flowers (CFs) in beverages has been reported, through ancestral claims, as having health benefits. In vitro research has evidenced the properties of CFs, such as antitumor and antioxidant activities. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of CF extract in an animal model of PCa....
The objective of the present study was to characterise the floristic and phytosociological composition on a stretch of dense “Terra Firme” rainforest located in the Belo Monte hydroelectric plant area of influence, located in the state of Pará, Brazil. All trees with DAP > 10 cm situated in 75 permanent plots of 1 ha were inventoried. 27,126 individuals trees (361 ind.ha-1), distributed in 59 botanical families...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-01-01; INCONEL 625 nickel-based superalloys present limitations for use at temperatures above 600 °C. For this reason, protective coatings can be used as barriers to avoid both nucleation and crack propagation. The aim of this work is to evaluate the mechanical properties at high temperatures of non-nitrided a...

No âmbito do projeto MARSOL (http://www.marsol.eu/) foram realizados no Algarve diversos ensaios de gestão de recarga de aquíferos, com recurso a diferentes técnicas. Na presente comunicação apresentam-se os resultados de um desses ensaios, de injeção de água num poço, onde se colocou sal como traçador. Este ensaio foi monitorizado com recurso a perfis de resistividade elétrica e a sondas de registo contínuo da...
