Pool boiling of nanofluids on biphilic surfaces: An experimental and numerical ...
Freitas, Eduardo; Pontes, Pedro; Cautela, Ricardo; Bahadur, Vaibhav; Miranda, João; Ribeiro, Ana P. C.; Souza, Reinaldo R.; Oliveira, Jeferson D.This study addresses the combination of customized surface modification with the use of nanofluids, to infer on its potential to enhance pool-boiling heat transfer. Hydrophilic surfaces patterned with superhydrophobic regions were developed and used as surface interfaces with different nanofluids (water with gold, silver, aluminum and alumina nanoparticles), in order to evaluate the effect of the nature and con...
Multiomics Assessment of Gene Expression in a Clinical Strain of CTX-M-15-Produ...
Pinto, Luís; Torres, Carmen; Gil, Concha; Nunes-Miranda, Júlio D.; Santos, Hugo M.; Borges, Vítor; Gomes, João P.; Silva, Catarina; Vieira, LuísExtended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli strain C999 was isolated of a Spanish patient with urinary tract infection. Previous genotyping indicated that this strain presented a multidrug-resistance phenotype and carried beta-lactamase genes encoding CTX-M-15, TEM-1, and OXA-1 enzymes. The whole-cell proteome, and the membrane, cytoplasmic, periplasmic and extracellular sub-proteomes of ...
One health approach reveals the absence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus...
Correia, Susana; Silva, Vanessa; García-Díez, Juan; Teixeira, Paula; Pimenta, Kevin; Pereira, José E.; Oliveira, Soraia; Rocha, JaquelineAntimicrobial resistance represents one of the greatest challenges of the twenty-first century, and it is globally recognized that addressing this problem requires a concerted One Health approach involving humans, animals, and the environment. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) currently represents a global burden; it is resistant to almost all beta-lactams and some MRSA strains are highly multi...
