Este trabalho teve por objetivo desenvolver novas formulações de snacks de terceira geração por extrusão termoplástica de misturas de farinhas de pupunha e mandioca e averiguar o potencial do novo produto. A farinha de pupunha foi incorporada à farinha de…

The genus Bradyrhizobium encompasses a variety of bacteria that can live in symbiotic and endophytic associations with legumes and non-legumes, and are characterized by physiological and symbiotic versatility and broad geographical distribution. However, despite indications of great genetic variability within…

Females of Ceratitis capitata are facultative polyandrous, with remating more common in laboratory strains rather than wild ones. In the application of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) against this pest, large overflooding ratios of sterile : wild males can increase…

The book deals with the topic of Operating Systems from and intuitive perspective and then delves into more technical concepts, which makes it appropriate for a first introductory course on the matter.

The use of evolutionary and swarm intelligence algorithms, has become a very popular option to solve complex real-world optimization problems. However, in their original versions, these algorithms lack a mechanism to handle the constraints of the problem i.e. they were…

The visual and optical anisotropies of metallic and pearlescent samples have been evaluated using a multi-gonio-spectrophotometer and by adapting a gonio-template over the instrument aperture for measuring the relative spectral reflectance factor when the sample is rotated around an axis…

Ce mémoire de maitrise porte sur la représentation de l’ailleurs véhiculée aux lecteurs d’images, au Québec, par les gravures du journal illustré L’Opinion publique. Effectivement, si l’Histoire commence avec les premières traces écrites, elle pose le problème de l’étude historique…

Real-time holographic interferometry has been used to visualize the evolution of the polarization layer during dead-end ultrafiltration of PEG-10000. Several experiments at a constant pressure of 1 bar and varying the feed concentration of PEG-10000 (5–12.5 kg/m3) have been carried…

The PII proteins are found in all three domains of life as key integrators of signals reflecting the balance of nitrogen and carbon. Genetic inactivation of PII proteins is typically associated with severe growth defects or death. However, the molecular…
