Fuel Consumption Between Two Soil Tillage Systems for Planting Sugarcane
(Sugar Tech, 2020) [Artigo]Sugarcane production system requires intense agricultural mechanization to prepare the soil and there are enormous questions about which soil preparation should be adopted in order to improve field productivity. Thus, this ... -
The putative effect of a SOD-rich melon pulp-concentrate on growth performance and antioxidant status of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) under heat/dissolved oxygen-induced stress
(Aquaculture, 2020) [Artigo]This study evaluated the effects of SOD-rich melon pulp concentrate (MPC) premix on growth performance, hematological profile and the antioxidant capacity of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) subjected to heat/dissolved ... -
MicrobioLink: An Integrated Computational Pipeline to Infer Functional Effects of Microbiome-Host Interactions
(Cells, 2020) [Artigo]Microbiome-host interactions play significant roles in health and in various diseases including autoimmune disorders. Uncovering these inter-kingdom cross-talks propels our understanding of disease pathogenesis and provides ... -
Gastrointestinal motility and morphology in mice: Strain-dependent differences
(Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2020) [Artigo]Background: BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice are widely used in biomedical research; however, the differences between strains are still underestimated. Our aims were to develop an experimental protocol to evaluate the duodenal ... -
Interactive key (Lucid) for identification of fungi in vegetable seeds
(Summa Phytopathologica, 2020) [Artigo]Interactive keys are tools that aid research and technical work since identification of organisms has become increasingly present in the scientific and academic context. An interactive key was developed with the software ... -
Beyond hemostasis: a snake venom serine protease with potassium channel blocking and potential antitumor activities
(Scientific Reports, 2020) [Artigo]Snake venom serine proteases (SVSPs) are complex and multifunctional enzymes, acting primarily on hemostasis. In this work, we report the hitherto unknown inhibitory effect of a SVSP, named collinein-1, isolated from the ... -
SEQUENCE SLIDER: Expanding polyalanine fragments for phasing with multiple side-chain hypotheses
(Acta Crystallographica Section D: Structural Biology, 2020) [Artigo]Fragment-based molecular-replacement methods can solve a macromolecular structure quasi-ab initio. ARCIMBOLDO, using a common secondary-structure or tertiary-structure template or a library of folds, locates these with ... -
Cooperative and sequence-dependent model for RNAP dynamics: Application to ribosomal gene transcription
(Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2020) [Artigo]Escherichia coli ribosomal genes are a well-established experimental model used to investigate the transcription process. These genes are essential to cell physiology and are therefore strongly expressed. Multiple transcription ... -
Optimization of the process of drying of corn seeds with the use of microwaves
(Drying Technology, 2020) [Artigo]The heating and drying of various types of food using microwave improve the economy of time and energy. The physiological quality variation of the seeds submitted to microwave drying is known to some extent. In this context, ... -
Cauchy, cauchy–santos–sartori–faria, logit, and probit functions for estimating seed longevity in soybean
(Agronomy Journal, 2019) [Artigo]Seed longevity is characterized as the time for which seed remains viable during storage. Seed longevity can be estimated by a Probit model that determines the period in which 50% of seeds have lost viability (P50). The ... -
SIRT1-dependent effects of resveratrol and grape juice in an in vitro model of preeclampsia
(Biomedicine and Pharmacotherapy, 2020) [Artigo]Preeclampsia (PE) is a multifactorial hypertensive disorder of pregnancy that is partly responsible for both maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality levels worldwide. It has been recently discovered that sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) ... -
miRTil: An Extensive Repository for Nile Tilapia microRNA Next Generation Sequencing Data
(Cells, 2020) [Artigo]Nile tilapia is the third most cultivated fish worldwide and a novel model species for evolutionary studies. Aiming to improve productivity and contribute to the selection of traits of economic impact, biotechnological ... -
A multi-approach analysis highlights the relevance of RPA-1 as a telomere end-binding protein (TEBP) in Leishmania amazonensis
(Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - General Subjects, 2020) [Artigo]Background: Telomeres are chromosome end structures important in the maintenance of genome homeostasis. They are replenished by the action of telomerase and associated proteins, such as the OB (oligonucleotide/oligosacch ... -
Chemical Constituents and Antileishmanial and Antibacterial Activities of Essential Oils from Scheelea phalerata
(ACS Omega, 2020) [Artigo]Scheelea phalerata Mart. ex Spreng (Arecaceae) is a palm tree found in the Brazilian cerrado. There are no topics related to volatile oils from S. phalerata leaves in the literature. This work determines its chemical ... -
Dynamic cerebral perfusion parameters and magnetic nanoparticle accumulation assessed by AC biosusceptometry
(Biomedizinische Technik, 2020) [Artigo]Cerebral blood flow (CBF) assessment is mainly performed by scintigraphy, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). New approaches to assess the CBF through the passage of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) ... -
Base Cut Quality and Productivity of Mechanically Harvested Sugarcane
(Sugar Tech, 2020) [Artigo]This experiment aimed to assess the damage caused in the sugarcane ratoon by the wear of the base cutter blades over 5 h of effective harvester work and the influence of the damage on the growth and productivity of the ... -
Automatic Classification of Enzyme Family in Protein Annotation
(Advances In Bioinformatics And Computational Biology, Proceedings, 2009) [Trabalho apresentado em evento]Most of the tasks in genome annotation can be at least partially automated. Since this annotation is time-consuming, facilitating some parts of the process - thus freeing the specialist to carry out more valuable tasks - ... -
