The drivers, characteristics and impacts of surface fire regimes in the Mediterranean Basin are poorly understood. We describe the post-fire structure of residual maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) patches in frequent-fire mountain landscapes of northern Portugal and relate it with burn severity and fire history. Live trees within each plot were measured and cumulative burn severity metrics were assessed at the tree and plot levels. Plot fire recurrence and fire intervals (mean, MFI; minimum, MinFI; ...

The current fire regime threatens black pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) persistence in the Mediterranean Basin, which recommends larger-scale fuel treatments. Prescribed burning is an option for stand protection but its use in young stands (which are particularly at risk) is hindered by the scarce knowledge on post-fire tree survival. The objectives were to characterize bark thickness as a fire-resistance trait in P. nigra and to describe how post-fire tree survival responds to tree size and fire effects ...

Objective: Our aim was to determine the HF morbidity and mortality in Paraiba and Brazil and its 10-year trends. Methods: A retrospective search was conducted from 2008 to 2017 using the DATASUS database and included patients ≥ 15 years old with a primary diagnosis of HF. Data on in-hospital and population morbidity and mortality were collected and stratified by year, gender and age. Pearson correlation ...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most prevalent chronic metabolic diseases of the 21st century. Nevertheless, its prevalence might be attenuated by taking advantage of bioactive compounds commonly found in fruits and vegetables. This work is focused on the recovery of polyphenols and polysaccharide-polyphenol conjugates from grape pomace for T2DM management and prevention. Bioactives were extracted by solid-liquid extraction and by pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE). Polyphenolic ...

The effects of pargyline and of two selective inhibitors of monoamine oxidase (MAO) types A and B, respectively Ro 41–1049 and Ro 19–6327, on the deamination of newly‐synthesized dopamine in kidney slices incubated with exogenous l ‐DOPA were also tested.

The spinel oxide Co2Mn0.5Al0.5O4 (CMA) was investigated as an additive onto the cathode of lithium-sulfur batteries. We demonstrate the polysulfide adsorption onto CMA, mitigating the shuttle effect, a well-known failure mechanism. The in situ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry tests evidenced that CMA facilitates the conversion of short-chain lithium polysulfides (LPS). The CMA reduced the maximum voltammetric current by approximately 20% compared to the AC/S cathode and ...

The reported structures, claimed to act as antioxidants, comprise chitosan, pectic polysaccharides, glucans, mannoproteins, alginates, fucoidans, and many others of all type of biological sources. The structural features linked to the antioxidant action include the polysaccharide charge, molecular weight, and the occurrence of non-carbohydrate substituents. The establishment ...

Phosphoinositides are a family of membrane phospholipids that play crucial roles in membrane regulatory events. As such, these lipids are often a key part of molecular dynamics simulation studies of biological membranes, in particular of those employing coarse-grain models because of the potential long times and sizes of the involved membrane processes. Version 3 of the widely used Martini coarse-grain force field has been recently published, greatly refining many aspects of biomolecular interactions. ...

The Hough transform (HT) is a popular tool for line detection due to its robustness to noise and missing data. However, the computational cost associated to its voting scheme has prevented software implementations to achieve real-time performance, except for very small images. Many dedicated hardware designs have been proposed, but such architectures restrict the image sizes they can handle. We present an improved voting scheme for the HT that allows a software implementation to achieve real-time ...
