The locus coeruleus modulates the ventilatory and thermoregulatory response to hypoxia
and contains nitric oxide synthase. Therefore, we examined the effects of L-NAME unilaterally …

THE present study was designed to test the hypothesis that nitric oxide (NO) plays a role in 2-deoxy-D-glucose
(2-DG)-induced hypothermia. The body temperature of awake, …

Lesões por Esforços Repetitivos (LER) é uma síndrome de difícil diagnóstico caracterizada
por distúrbio de músculo tendinoso, principalmente dos membros superiores, ombros e …

Introduction:Integrated Respiratory Consultant roles have been promoted alongside the
shift in chronic disease management to primary care. Defining the value of these roles is …

In this dissertation, I seek to answer: what are the limits to attempts by Indigenous peoples
to articulate our own forms of law through the languages and institutions of settler law? I …

This work shows a pressure-sensitive platform instrumented with a set of five in-series macro-bend
optical fiber sensors. The structure of 20×20cm is divided into sixteen 5×5cm sensing …

In this work, we demonstrate a refractometric fiber sensor with improved sensitivity for refractive
indices ranging from 1.3629 to 1.4479. The device relies on the coupling between a long …

In recent years, due to the increase in the consumption of electric energy worldwide, the
generation of sustainable energy has become the focus of several scientific investigations. In …

A detailed study of the thermal and strain sensitivities of a long-period grating when the
device is immersed in different external media is presented. The range of refractive indices …

Thermoreflectance imaging provides the capability to map temperature spatially on the
submicrometer scale by using a light source and CCD camera for data acquisition. The ability to …
