In this research a new process for dismantling the components of the waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) was developed. This process uses water and aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide at conditions above solder melting temperatures which not only prevents pollution problems, but also separates the multilayers of WPCBs. The results show that removal of components in the WPCBs was achieved at 280 °C for 15 min with a 1 M NaOH solution. At these conditions glass fiber, epoxy resin and copper layers ...

Autozygosity is associated with an increased risk of genetic rare disease, thus being a relevant factor for clinical genetic studies. More than 2400 exome sequencing data sets were analyzed and screened for autozygosity on the basis of detection of >1 Mbp runs of homozygosity (ROHs). A model was built to predict if an individual is likely to be a consanguineous offspring (accuracy, 98%), and probability of consanguinity ranges were established according to the total ROH size. Application of the model ...

Governments in the western countries are faced with a number of growing social challenges, such as unemployment, migration, ageing population, explosion of chronic disease. Although they offer a wide range of public social services, we cannot assume that the economy will grow at a rate that can fund expanding needs for services risen by these challenges. We have to find new ways to adapt service provision and prevent social exclusion. Social innovations are new approaches to addressing social needs ...

We report a case of large temporal giant cell reparative granuloma in a 72-year-old man. MR imaging depicted a right temporal expansile multiloculated lesion, with hyper- and hypointense signal areas on T2-weighted images, heterogeneously enhancing after gadolinium administration. Cortical thinning and bone remodeling of the temporal squamous portion were better seen on CT. The patient underwent surgery, and the diagnosis was achieved by the correlation of imaging, histologic, and laboratory findings.

In this work we studied the influence of the dopant elements and concentration on the properties of ZnO thin film deposited by spray pyrolysis. The results show that the doping affects the thin films properties mainly the electrical ones, function of dopant concentration and nature. The most important changes were observed for films doped with 1 at% of indium which exhibit a resistivity of 1.9×10−1 Ω cm associated with a transmitance of 90%. After the annealing treatment, the resistivity of the ...

A 6 year old Portuguese boy with dilated cardiomyopathy had abundant ragged red fibres in muscle (20% of total) and severe lactic acidosis. Molecular genetic analysis showed the A to G transition in the mitochondrial transfer RNALeu(UUR) gene at nt 3243 ("MELAS mutation"), which accounted for 88% and 68% of the total mtDNA in his muscle and blood, respectively. Molecular studies in blood from 16 maternal relatives identified lower percentages of the mutation only in the oligo-symptomatic mother and ...

Due to the energy crisis that some countries are facing nowadays, the gasification process appears to be a good alternative to produce some energy from solid materials. Increasingly, gasification involves using wastes as a solid fuel, making the process green and reusing some materials that otherwise could end up in a landfill. However, the process of finding the best gasification parameters of a sample can be very expensive and time-consuming. In this sense, a refuse-derived fuel (RDF) char produced ...

The deposited films have a high resistivity. Annealing the films in an argon atmosphere or under vacuum leads to a substantial reduction of the electrical resistivity of the films and to an increase on the degree of cristallinity of the deposited ...

Domestic and industrial heating are amongst the most attractive applications for biomass as it combines high efficiency and ease-of-use. Boilers and furnaces in this range are usually of simple design and control algorithm while expected to operate over a wide range of thermal loads, typically from up 30% of the nominal load. Such constrainments often limit the overall efficiency of biomass use. In addition, from the manufacturing point of view, a product with flexibility of operation would provide ...
