Bordetella bronchiseptica is a gram-negative respiratory pathogen that infects a wide range of hosts and causes a diverse spectrum of disease. This diversity is likely affected by multiple factors, such as host immune status, polymicrobial infection, and strain diversity. In a murine model of infection, we found that the virulence of B. bronchiseptica strains, as measured by the mean lethal dos...

While average temperatures on Mars may be too low to support terrestrial life-forms or aqueous liquids, diurnal peak temperatures over most of the planet can be high enough to provide for both, down to a few centimeters beneath the surface for some fraction of the time. A thermal model was applied to the Viking 1, Viking 2, Pathfinder, Spirit, and Opportunity landing sites to demonstrate the dy...

High levels of iron-nitrogen doped porous carbon materials are obtained from MOF-253 using a step-by-step post-synthetic modification strategy. MOF-253 possessing open 2,2'-bipyridine nitrogen sites not only serves as a precursor but also provides chelate bonding sites for Fe2+. Followed by further impregnation of 1,10-phenanthroline, high surface area porous carbon materials are obtained. For ...

This paper describes an environment to assess auditory emotional recognition based on a mobile application. The primary aim of this work is to provide a valuable instrument that can be used both in research and clinical settings, responding to the strong need of validated measures of emotional processing, especially in Portugal. The secondary aim is to acquire and study the participants' intera...

253 Mathilde will be the next asteroid to be visited by a spacecraft (NEAR). Mathilde is an exceptional slow and complex rotatorwith a period of 17.4 days (Mottola et al., 1995). Binzel et al. (1996) have obtained the first spectrum ofMathilde in the visible range. To search for any variation on the asteroid surface, we have performed several observations in the visible range at the European So...
