Soils can influence climate by sequestering or emitting greenhouse gases (GHG) such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). We are far from understanding the direct influence of cryptogamic covers on soil GHG fluxes, particularly in areas free of potential anthropogenic confounding factors. We assessed the role ofwell-developed cryptogamic covers in soil attributes, aswell as in the in-...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-06-01; As highlighted by European statistics, the employment of donor oocytes is a growing option for women who cannot make use of their own gametes. As the potential recipients are continuously increasing in number, a donor programme which satisfies this demand is mandatory. Improvements in cryopreservation t...
Crude glycerol, obtained from the biodiesel production, is actually an abundant and low-cost feedstock, making the preparation of carbonaceous materials by partial carbonization and sulfonation of this by-product an interesting research focus. Bearing this in mind, the aim of this study is to explore several types of glycerol-based carbon materials synthesized by partial carbonization of glycerol in concentrate...
BACKGROUND: Red cell distribution width (RDW), a classical parameter used in the differential diagnosis of anemia, has recently been recognized as a marker of chronic inflammation and high levels of oxidative stress (OS). Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic disorder associated to redox imbalance and dysfunctional response to OS. Clinically, it is characterized by progressive bone marrow failure, which remains the ...

In the scope of the Air Quality Model Evaluation International Initiative (AQMEII) the air quality modelling system MM5eCAMx was applied to the North American (NA) domain for calendar year 2006. The simulation domainwas defined according to the spatial resolution and the coordinate system of the emission databases provided and the common grid required by AQMEII for ensemble analysis. A Lambert Conformal Project...
A PCR assay for the detection and characterization of foot-and-mouth disease virus was developed. The procedure allows RT-PCR amplification following direct adsorption of viral suspensions to microtiter plates, avoiding previous steps of phenol-extraction or heating. Using this procedure, FMDV-specific (based on 3D gene sequences), as well as serotype-specific (based on VP1 gene sequences) amplification were ac...
