reduzir as dimensões do dispositivo e melhorar o desempenho elétrico dos transistores de efeito de campo Metal-Óxido-Semicondutor (MOSFETs). Uma vertente que surge como uma alternativa sem gerar custos adicionais para o processo de fabricação de circuitos integrados (CIs) planares Complementar Metal-Óxido-Semicondutor (CMOS) é o uso de geometrias alternativas às convencionais (retangulares) em MOSFETs, que poss...
O estudo dos biopotenciais musculares vêm se desenvolvendo, impulsionado tanto pelas pesquisas para o diagnóstico dos distúrbios neuro-musculares, quanto pelo desenvolvimento de próteses mecânicas para amputados. O sinal mioelétrico constitui uma grande área de pesquisa dentro do estudo dos biopotenciais, fornecendo dados para o diagnóstico de tais distúrbios, além de constituir um meio para o controle de diver...
Made available in DSpace on 2019-10-06T16:12:54Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-10-01; Ethanol is an alternative fuel produced from sugarcane and economically very important for São Paulo state and Brazil. Vinasse, which has been traditionally distributed on the agricultural soil as an organic fertilizer, is the main residue of the ethanol production. Its dosage has been annually rationed...
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a set of complex pathways with a well-defined function in the regulation of blood pressure and body fluid homeostasis.
The fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine aim at promoting the regeneration of tissues or replacing failing or malfunctioning organs, by means of combining a scaffold/support material, adequate cells and bioactive molecules. Different materials have been proposed to be used as both three-dimensional porous scaffolds and hydrogel matrices for distinct tissue engineering strategies. Among them, p...
There is a clear need for the development of microparticles that can be used simultaneously as carriers of stem/progenitor cells and as release systems for bioactive agents, such as growth factors or differentiation agents. In addition, when thinking on bone-tissueengineering applications, it would be very useful if these microparticles are biodegradable and could be made to be bioactive. Microparticles with al...
In a previous work, we described the use of starch-based microparticles as vehicles for the controlled release of corticosteroids. The goal of the present work is to evaluate the potential of these microparticles to incorporate and release platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). The loading efficiency and release profile were evaluated, and PDGF was incorporated into and released from the matrix of starch-based ...
Materials in particulate form have been the subjects of intensive research in view of their use as drug delivery systems. While within this application there are still issues to be addressed, these systems are now being regarded as having a great potential for tissue engineering applications. Bone repair is a very demanding task, due to the specific characteristics of skeletal tissues, and the design of scaffol...
For biomedical applications, materials small in size are growing in importance. In an era where ‘nano’ is the new trend, micro- and nano-materials are in the forefront of developments. Materials in the particulate form aim to designate systems with a reduced size, such as micro- and nanoparticles. These systems can be produced starting from a diversity of materials, of which polymers are the most used. Similarl...
