The fermentation of Arbutus unedo L.fruit is traditionally carried out in the production of spirits.The present study followed the spontaneous fermentation of A.unedo fruit harvested in October and December 2019 by two producers from the central region of Portugal.The microbiota was studied, and although a great diversity of indigenous yeasts was f
Phosphatidic acid mediates the targeting of tBid to induce lysosomal membrane permeabilization and apoptosis
Upon apoptotic stimuli, lysosomal proteases, including cathepsins and chymotrypsin, are released into cytosol due to lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), where they trigger apoptosis via the lysosomal-mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis.Herein, the mechanism of LMP was investigated.We found that caspase 8-cleaved Bid Comparison of Early Childh
Reconfigurable intelligent surface-aided wireless communications: An overview (invited paper)
The reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is an emerging technology, which will hopefully bring a new revolution in wireless communications.The RIS technology can be deployed in an indoor/outdoor environment to dynamically manipulate the propagation environment.The RIS consists of a large number of independently controllable passive elements, an
Neurotoxicological manifestations among drug abusers admitted to Alexandria poison unit and Al-Mamora hospital: prospective study
Background: Neurotoxicity is a significant contributor to neurodegenerative disorders, often linked to drug abuse, a critical issue affecting Egyptian youth during their productive years.The aim of the study was: a) To describe the neurotoxic effects Bottom-up approach to strengthen community-based malaria control strategy from community health wor
Density matrix emulation of quantum recurrent neural networks for multivariate time series prediction
Quantum recurrent neural networks (QRNNs) are robust candidates for modelling and predicting future values in multivariate time series.However, the effective implementation of some QRNN models is limited by the need for mid-circuit measurements.Those increase the requirements for quantum hardware, which in the current noisy intermediate-scale quant
