Surface sediments were collected from Guanabara Bay, at 14 stations distributed in five sectors, over three sampling campaigns. Analyses of metals, grain size fractions and total organic carbon analyses were performed. The geo-accumulation index and the enrichment factor were estimated to assess contamination status based on background values. Additionally, the sediment quality guidelines were applied to evaluate the adverse biological effects. Results show that there was no seasonal variation in ...

There is increasing evidence indicating an association between several risk factors and worse prognosis in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), including older age, hypertension, heart failure, diabetes, and pulmonary disease. Hypertension is of particular interest because it is common in adults and there are concerns related to the use of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors in patients with hypertension infected with COVID-19.

Typically, falls in older adults occur when 2 tasks are performed simultaneously, due to the increased motor demand required to maintain stability and attention to perform the other task. The authors' purpose was to investigate walking while grasping, transporting, and placing a dowel on a predetermined target while manipulating difficulty levels of the manual task. Faller and nonfaller older adults performed a walking block (manual tasks combined with gait) and a stationary block (upright stance ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are natural byproducts of metabolism that have toxic effects well documented in mammals. In hematophagous arthropods, however, these processes are not largely understood. Here, we describe that Rhipicephalus microplus ticks and embryonic cell line (BME26) employ an adaptive metabolic compensation mechanism that confers tolerance to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at concentrations too high for others organisms. Tick survival and reproduction are not affected by H2O2 exposure, ...

Currently, digital filters are employed in a wide range of signal processing applications, using fixed- and floating-point processors. Regarding the former, some filter implementations may be highly prone to errors, due to problems related to finite word-length. In particular, signal processing modules may produce overflows and unwanted noise, which are caused by quantization and round-off effects, during accumulative-addition and multiplication operations. As a consequence, the system output may ...

Ohr and OsmC proteins comprise two subfamilies within a large group of proteins that display Cys-based, thiol dependent peroxidase activity. These proteins were previously thought to be restricted to prokaryotes, but we show here, using iterated sequence searches, that Ohr/OsmC homologs are also present in 217 species of eukaryotes with a massive presence in Fungi (186 species). Many of these eukaryotic Ohr proteins possess an N-terminal extension that is predicted to target them to mitochondria. ...

It is considered endemic in the low-income population and is classified by the WHO as a neglected tropical disease. In the state of Acre, there is almost no scientific data regarding the epidemiology of CD, even though the first autochthonous case was registered in the 1980s.

Uplink grant-free schemes have the promise of reducing the latency of a user-equipmentinitiated transmission by avoiding the handshaking procedure for acquiring a dedicated scheduling grant. However, the possibility of successfully delivering a payload within a latency constraint may be severely compromised in case of grant-free operations over shared radio resources. In this paper, we study the performance of two different uplink grant-free schemes over shared resources recently discussed within ...

The fifth-generation (5G) radio networks will support ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). In the uplink, the latency can be reduced by removing the time-consuming and error-prone scheduling procedure and, instead, using the grant-free (GF) transmissions. Reaching the strict URLLC reliability requirements with GF transmissions is, however, particularly challenging due to the wireless channel uncertainties and interference from other URLLC devices. As a consequence, the supported URLLC ...

Time-sensitive communications (TSC) in wireless networks is an emerging paradigm that gains research momentum as an enabler of the industrial Internet of Things. As compared to ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) in fifth-generation cellular networks, TSC has stricter requirements in terms of latency and reliability, and also demands absolute time-synchronization and on-time delivery of packets for deterministic and isochronous real-time applications. In this regard, a key question is ...

Significance Hydroperoxides play central roles in cell signaling. Hydroperoxides of arachidonic acid are mediators of inflammatory processes in mammals, whereas hydroperoxides of linoleic acid play equivalent roles in plants. Peroxynitrite is also involved in host–pathogen interactions, and hydroperoxide levels must therefore be strictly controlled by host-derived thiol-dependent peroxidases. Organic hydroperoxide resistance (Ohr) enzymes, which are present in many bacteria, display unique biochemical ...
