Cannabinoid type 2 receptor inhibition enhances the antidepressant and proneuro...

Chronic stress is a major risk factor for neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression. Adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) has emerged as a promising target to counteract stress-related disorders given the ability of newborn neurons to facilitate endogenous plasticity. Recent data sheds light on the interaction between cannabinoids and neurotrophic factors underlying the regulation of AHN, with important ef...

The survey followed all ethical and deontological procedures...

Numerical analysis of a porous–elastic model for convection enhanced drug delivery

Convection enhanced drug delivery (CED) is a technique used to make therapeutic agents reach, through a catheter, sites of difficult access. The name of this technique comes from the convective flow originated by a pressure gradient induced at the tip of the catheter. This flow enhances passive diffusion and allows a more efficient spread of the agents by the target site. CED is particularly useful in the treat...

Bank strategic asset allocation under a unified risk measure

Most available bank asset allocation models use several risk measures as constraints; as a consequence, the comparison of the risk between different asset allocation strategies is often difficult, since each strategy is subject to several risks. With this research, we create a simulation–optimization methodology that measures interest rate, credit and liquidity risks in a unified manner. The associated risk eve...

Julgamentos de gravidade de comportamentos de stalking com CR100 de BORG

Exploring how brands create and maintain online relationships through their web...

In the context of online interactions, social media has becoming a crucial part of people‟s everyday lives, where they converge to exchange, debate, communicate and participate in any form of social interaction (Ryan & Jones, 2009). They post and share new content but also review and rate products/services and/or brands, share experiences and expertise and exchange opinions (Ryan & Jones, 2009). As a result, th...

A HAB warning system for shellfish harvesting in Portugal

The development of sustainable shellfish aquaculture is highly dependent on the provision of reliable monitoring and predictive information on the occurrence of harmful algal blooms (HABs). The Portuguese HAB early warning system and shellfish closures presented here is a prototype, developed in the ASIMUTH project. It relies on weekly monitoring data composed of observations of HAB species and toxin concentrat...
