1. Mínimos locais de funcionais com dependência especial via Γconvergência: com e sem vínculo
Na primeira parte deste trabalho, abordamos a existência de soluções estacioná-rias estáveis para uma classe de equações de reação-difusão com dependência espacial em domínios limitados 2 e 3-dimensionais. Esta abordagem foi feita via existência de mínimos locais dos funcionais de energia correspondentes. Para tal, foi suficiente encontrar cond

2. Contribuições teoricas para o estudo de funções de distribuição correlacionadas em um canal sem fio / Theoretical contributions to the study of correlated distributions funcions of wireless channels
In wireless communications, the multipath fading is modeled by several distributions including Hoyt, Rayleigh, Weibull, Nakagami-m, and Rice. In this thesis, new, exact expressions for the bivariate Hoyt (Nakagami-q) processes with arbitrary correlation in a nonstationary environment are derived. More specifically, the following are obtained: joint probabili

3. Emergent spindle oscillations and intermittent burst firing in a thalamic model: specific neuronal mechanisms.
The rhythmogenesis of 10-Hz sleep spindles is studied in a large-scale thalamic network model with two cell populations: the excitatory thalamocortical (TC) relay neurons and the inhibitory nucleus reticularis thalami (RE) neurons. Spindle-like bursting oscillations emerge naturally from reciprocal interactions between TC and RE neurons. We find that the net

4. Tyrosine phosphorylated p91 binds to a single element in the ISGF2/IRF-1 promoter to mediate induction by IFN alpha and IFN gamma, and is likely to autoregulate the p91 gene.
ISGF2 was initially identified, purified and cloned as an interferon-alpha (IFN alpha) induced transcription factor that binds to the IFN-stimulated response element (ISRE) of IFN alpha/beta-stimulated genes (ISGs). It was reported to be transcriptionally regulated by several cytokines including IFN alpha and IFN gamma. IFN alpha and IFN gamma inducibility i

5. Histamine activates Cl- and K+ currents in guinea-pig tracheal myocytes: convergence with muscarinic signalling pathway.
1. We investigated the effects of histamine on membrane currents and contractile state of isolated guinea-pig tracheal myocytes using perforated patch and whole-cell recording techniques. The effects of histamine were compared to those of acetylcholine (ACh) and caffeine. 2. During voltage clamp (Vhold = -60 mV), histamine elicited contraction and an inward

6. Convergence and divergence of neurotransmitter action in human cerebral cortex.
The postsynaptic actions of acetylcholine, adenosine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, histamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin were analyzed in human cortical pyramidal cells maintained in vitro. The actions of these six putative neurotransmitters converged onto three distinct potassium currents. Application of acetylcholine, histamine, norepinephrine, or serotonin

7. Ubiquitin pathway involvement in human lymphocyte gamma-irradiation-induced apoptosis.
Apoptosis (the classical type of programmed cell death) can be triggered in many cell types by widely diverse stimuli. gamma rays, at low doses, can induce apoptosis in vitro in interphase human lymphocytes. In this type of apoptosis induction, activated gene expression is necessary for the fulfillment of the death program. In this report, we present evidenc

8. Succession and convergence of biofilm communities in fixed-film reactors treating aromatic hydrocarbons in groundwater.
Community composition, succession, and performance were compared in three fluidized bed reactors (FBR) operated to test preemptive colonization and the influence of toluene compared with a mixture of benzene, toluene, and p-xylene (BTX) as feeds. One reactor was inoculated with toluene-degrading strains Pseudomonas putida PaW1, Burkholderia cepacia G4, and B

9. Fatty acids and retinoids control lipid metabolism through activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-retinoid X receptor heterodimers.
The nuclear hormone receptors called PPARs (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors alpha, beta, and gamma) regulate the peroxisomal beta-oxidation of fatty acids by induction of the acyl-CoA oxidase gene that encodes the rate-limiting enzyme of the pathway. Gel retardation and cotransfection assays revealed that PPAR alpha heterodimerizes with retinoid

10. On simulating lipid bilayers with an applied surface tension: periodic boundary conditions and undulations.
As sketched in Fig. 1, a current molecular dynamics computer simulation of a lipid bilayer fails to capture significant features of the macroscopic system, including long wavelength undulations. Such fluctuations are intrinsically connected to the value of the macroscopic (or thermodynamic) surface tension (cf. Eqs. 1 and 9; for a related treatment, see Broc

11. Comparative Analyses of the Complete Genome Sequences of Pierce's Disease and Citrus Variegated Chlorosis Strains of Xylella fastidiosa
Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-dwelling, insect-transmitted, gamma-proteobacterium that causes diseases in many plants, including grapevine, citrus, periwinkle, almond, oleander, and coffee. X. fastidiosa has an unusually broad host range, has an extensive geographical distribution throughout the American continent, and induces diverse disease phenotypes. Pre

12. Convergence of TNFalpha and IFNgamma signalling pathways through synergistic induction of IRF-1/ISGF-2 is mediated by a composite GAS/kappaB promoter element.
The molecular basis for the well known synergistic biological effects of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and interferon gamma (IFNgamma) is still poorly understood. This report demonstrates that expression of interferon-regulatory factor 1 (IRF-1), also known as interferon-stimulated-gene factor 2 (ISGF-2), is synergistically induced by these cytokine
