Critical analysis of the components of inventories of Greenhouse Gases in urban water supply and sewerage
(CIBSão Paulo, 2014-09)
The concentration of population in urban areas significantly impacts the sustainability of utility systems, especially the relations between water availability and demand management, energy efficiency in urban water supply ...
Light perception and signalling by phytochrome A
(Oxford University Press, 2014-06)
In etiolated seedlings, phytochrome A (phyA) mediates very-low-fluence responses (VLFRs), which initiate de-etiolation at the interphase between the soil and above-ground environments, and high-irradiance responses (HIR), ...
Mitochondrial nitric oxide production supported by reverse electron transfer
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2016-10)
Heart phosphorylating electron transfer particles (ETPH) produced NO at 1.2 ± 0.1 nmol NO. min−1 mg protein−1 by the mtNOS catalyzed reaction. These particles showed a NAD+ reductase activity of 64 ± 3 nmol min−1 mg protein−1 ...

GH administration patterns differently regulate epidermal growth factor signaling
(Bioscientifica, 2014-04-12)
Current GH administration protocols imply frequent s.c. injections, resulting in suboptimal compliance. Therefore, there is interest in developing delivery systems for sustained release of the hormone. However, GH has ...
CD40 activation of BCP-ALL cells generates IL-10-producing, IL-12-defective APCs that induce allogeneic T-cell anergy
(American Society of Hematology, 2004-12)
The use of leukemia cells as antigenpresenting cells (APCs) in immunotherapy is critically dependent on their capacity to initiate and sustain an antitumor-specific immune response. Previous studies suggested that pediatric ...
