The main purpose of this paper is to find the most effective method for the normalization of a final set of diagnostic variables for indirect consumption research with the use of synthetic consumption measures. The chose...

Abstract The objective of this study was to describe the seroprevalence and factors associated with Neospora caninum and Toxoplasma gondii infections in cattle in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Serum samples were ...

Abstract Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii. Ingestion of raw/undercooked meat is considering an important route of infection. Consumption of meat from equids is common in European and Asia...

Despite being an indirect bandgap material, germanium (Ge) recently appeared as a material of choice for low power consumption optical link on silicon. Thanks to a low energy difference between direct and indirect energy...

Humanity is on a deeply unsustainable trajectory. We are exceeding planetary boundaries and unlikely to meet many international sustainable development goals and global environmental targets. Until recently, there was no...

ObjectiveThe study aimed to assess the effects of resting energy expenditure (REE) on critically ill individuals requiring mechanical ventilation with different degrees of sedation.DesignA prospective self-controlled stu...

An indirect calorimetry system for rapid determination of CO2 and CH4 production and O2 consumption to estimate heat production of animals was built at Escola de Veterinária da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Braz...

This essay shows a connection between consumer theory and quantity theory of money, inspired by Richard Cantillon's approach, in which changes in the money stock influence price levels, characterizing the elasticity of t...

Sanitary inspection of beef and pork meat has been the major tool for diagnosing animal cysticercosis and for preventing taeniasis in Brazil. The indigenous villages Jaguapiru and Bororo are located close to the urban ar...

Abstract The relevance of consuming raw or undercooked beef in the transmission of toxoplasmosis is unclear due to the high resistance of cattle to infection. However, this possibility needs to be considered in endemic a...

The article examines the problem of assessing the level of the Ukrainian shadow economy under martial law. It explores the methodologies used by Ukrainian and foreign researchers to estimate the size of the shadow econom...

ABSTRACT Background Substance use, particularly cannabis and alcohol consumption, presents a growing public health challenge in Ghana, with significant implications for both mental and physical health. While the adverse ...

Considerando que a tendência mundial é produzir o que se consome e que a ciência da carne busca o mais alto grau de satisfação do consumidor, o estudo aborda as características que propiciam essa satisfação na ca...

BackgroundWestern diet (WD) consumption accelerates the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study investigated whether chestnut-derived ellagitannins (FT50) modulate early m...

Abstract The seroprevalence of Sarcocystis spp. and Toxoplasma gondii was researched in swine raised in Santa Maria, RS, Brazil. Serum samples from 84 pigs from 31 farms were tested using indirect immunofluorescence assa...

Grazing can modify vegetation structure and species composition through selective consumption, modifying plant litter quality and hence decomposability. In most grasslands, moderate stocking rates maintain a mosaic of hi...

Soybeans hold a deep cultural significance with its origin in Asia. All of the current modern cultivars belong to the same Glycine max (L.) Merrill, which can be distinguished primarily by their seed coat pigmentation. T...

ObjectiveTo improve the rock-breaking efficiency and durability of drill bits in the theoretical research on the optimal design of drill bits, the key is to systematically reveal both the rock-breaking mechanisms of poly...

Presentamos una síntesis de lo que conocemos hasta el momento sobre las actividades mineras y metalúrgicas prehispánicas desarrolladas en el territorio de la actual provincia de Jujuy (Argentina). Para ello, se analiz...

Se analizó, en una muestra de adolescentes argentinos, el modelo de predisposición adquirida. El modelo propone que el rasgo desinhibición influye de manera indirecta, a través de variables cognitivas, sobre el consu...

In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated to Toxoplasma gondii infection in sheep from northeastern Brazil. A total of 932 ovine serum samples from 54 properties in 19 municipalities...

The prevalence of T. gondii infection was investigated in free-range chickens for human consumption in the county of Rio Bonito, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Thus, a search for antibodies to T. gondii by indirect fluorescent ...

Abstract Fuel consumption is one of the main concerns for heavy-duty trucks. Predictive cruise control (PCC) provides an intriguing opportunity to reduce fuel consumption by using the upcoming road information. In this s...

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the frequency of anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in serum from 629 chickens on 39 family farms in seven municipalities in the semiarid region, Pernambuco, Brazil, and to identif...
