2. Evaluation of the antimicrobial effect of super-oxidized water (Sterilox®) and sodium hypochlorite against Enterococcus faecalis in a bovine root canal model
ABSTRACT Ideally root canal irrigants should have, amongst other properties, antimicrobial action associated with a lack of toxicity against periapical tissues. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is a widely used root canal irrigant, however it has been shown to have a cytotoxic effect on vital tissue and therefore it is prudent to investigate alternative irrigants

4. A construção do imaginário ciborgue: o pós-humano na ficção científica, de Frankenstein ao século XXI
The present research aims to investigate a supposedly new statute of being in the ambit of cyberculture, the so-called "cyborg" or "post-human". Considered a fundamental part of culture today, according to Pierre Lévy, and also called digital culture by a number of thinkers, and also part of post-modernity, by Scott Bukatman and Larry McCaffery, among other

5. Transfer of Tn916-Like Elements in Microcosm Dental Plaques
Microcosm dental plaques were grown from an inoculum of human saliva in a constant-depth film fermentor. The inoculum contained four tetracycline-resistant streptococcal species, each of which contained a Tn916-like element. This element was shown to transfer to other streptococci both in filter-mating experiments and within the biofilms in the fermentor.

6. Demonstration that the Group II Intron from the Clostridial Conjugative Transposon Tn5397 Undergoes Splicing In Vivo
Previous work has identified the conjugative transposon Tn5397 from Clostridium difficile. This element was shown to contain a group II intron. Tn5397 can be conjugatively transferred from C. difficile to Bacillus subtilis. In this work we show that the intron is spliced in both these hosts and that nonspliced RNA is also present. We constructed a mutation i
