Suitability of 3D printed pieces of nanocrystalline zirconia for dental applica...
Branco, A. C.; Silva, R.; Santos, T.; Jorge, H.; Rodrigues, A. R.; Fernandes, R.; Bandarra, S.; Barahona, I.; Matos, A. P. A.; Lorenz, K.; Polido, M.Objectives: The main goal of this work is to evaluate the suitability of nanostructured zirconia pieces obtained by robocasting additive manufacturing (AM), for dental applications. Methods: The density, crystalline structure, morphology/porosity, surface roughness, hardness, toughness, wettability and biocompatibility of the produced samples were compared with those of samples obtained by conventional subtract...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-07-01; Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP); Minimum Quantity of Lubricant (MQL) has been used in the grinding process to make the process eco-friendlier. On the other hand, it brings some technical problems to this process: the clogging phenomenon, i.e., chips adherence on the wheel c...
Energy restriction, exercise and atorvastatin treatment improve endothelial dys...
Rocha, B.; Rodrigues, A. R.; Tomada, I.; Martins, M. J.; Guimarães, J. T.; Gouveia, A. M.; Almeida, H.; Neves, D.Background: Endothelial dysfunction underlies cardiovascular disease that frequently affects aged individuals. Characterized by local decrease in nitric oxide, it results from down-regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression/activity. Aiming to elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in age-related endothelial dysfunction and to unveil potential therapeutic targets, we tested how diet ...

Reproductive biology of Oxychilus(Atlantoxychilus) spectabilis (Milne-Edwards, ...
Ferreira, Ana Filipa; Martins, António M. de Frias; Cunha, Regina Tristão da; Melo, Paulo Jorge; Rodrigues, A. R.The taxonomic status and anatomy of Oxychilus (Atlantoxychilus) spectabilis (Milne-Edwards, 1885), an endemic land snail from Santa Maria Island, Azores, has been subject of detailed study, yet information about its life history is wanting. This study describes the reproductive cycle of O. (A.) spectabilis and assesses the validity of three morphometric shell parameters as maturation diagnostic characters. Our ...
