Similarly to viruses, the structural proteins that comprise a VLP can spontaneously self-assemble to form the particle or can assemble through several intermediate steps. This work addresses the characterization, manipulation and purification of a chimeric simian-human immunodeficiency VLP constructed by fusion of SIV matrix protein (p17) and HIV-1 p6 accessory protein. This fusion protein assembles as spherical nanoparticles of about 80 nm in diameter that are released to the culture media when expressed in HEK 293T cells. A simple two-step purification process was used to purify these nanoparticles. Also, different approaches - multiple-transfections or chemical coupling - were performed to target manipulation. Finally, a new approach for the production of these virus-like particles is described where the structural protein subunits are used and their assembly is promoted in vitro.","PeriodicalId":399131,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 2nd Portuguese Meeting in Bioengineering (ENBENG)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130675551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a first stage, by the implementation of a kinetic model for E. coli cultures, a better bioprocess understanding was reached, concerning the availability of nutrients and products along the bioprocess, and their effects on the plasmid production. Results presented may provide significant help for future modelling and monitoring implementation. In a second stage, FTIR spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics, namely PLS regression, shows its potential as a high-throughput technique for simultaneously estimating the key variables involved in the plasmid production process by E. coli cultures run under distinct conditions. Finally, owing to online monitoring and process control, an NIR fibre optic probe and chemometrics provided promising results concerning the control of biomass and carbon sources in E. coli cultures.","PeriodicalId":399131,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 2nd Portuguese Meeting in Bioengineering (ENBENG)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130777821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CV diseases are currently one of the leading causes of death in the developed countries. The development of early diagnostic tools contributes for the early identification of important markers in the CV development. A piezoelectric (PZ) probe to arterial pressure waveform (APW) monitoring at peripheral arteries, such as carotid artery was developed. A dedicated test bench capable of emulating the main CV dynamic properties was developed, providing an interesting tool to carry out the preliminary tests. The PZ probe output signal suffers additional processing to original waveform recovering. The deconvolution method was used for this purpose. Algorithms to waveform delineation were developed, based on the wavelet transform and probability density function (PDF). The AIx was calculated for each one of the developed algorithms. These methods were comparatively evaluated with the reference value from the synthesis procedure. The probe's performance was assessed using realistic simulation based on exponential pulses and in in vivo data acquisitions, Results demonstrate that the developed probe exhibits a good performance with maximum errors less than 0.5% in the AIx determination.","PeriodicalId":399131,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 2nd Portuguese Meeting in Bioengineering (ENBENG)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130854237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of these changes is the loss of neuroplasticity, which leads to the decrease of cognitive abilities. Hence the necessity of stopping or reversing these changes is of utmost importance to contemporary society. In the present work, using electroencephalogram and the Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST) we try to understand which are the performance-related EEG phenotypes. The test was applied to young and elderly subjects due to the expected cognitive deficits with increasing age. The results showed that parietal theta desynchronization and the increase of the inter-frontal and intra-hemispheric coherence was associated to the group of good performers in the WCST. The implementation of an algorithm for low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (LORETA) showed that the WCST is not a specific test of the pre-frontal cortex. The identified performance-related EEG features have potential application on neurofeedback training protocols intended to hinder age-related cognitive decline.","PeriodicalId":399131,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 2nd Portuguese Meeting in Bioengineering (ENBENG)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132032980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simulated data was used to perform and assess the 3D reconstruction. The images were acquired in a Monte Carlo platform and using an analytical phantom. The reconstruction step was performed, implementing Filtered Back Projection (FBP), Maximum-Likelihood Expectation-Maximization (ML-EM) and Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART). Comparable results were obtained by the three algorithms. The FBP algorithm presented more blurring images than the ML-EM and ART algorithms. However, it was the one more capable to localize the structures on the 3D space, including the smallest details. The results of the 3D reconstruction allow the discrimination even of very small structures which could not be differentiated on the simple projections that result from the simulations. This indicates that the accuracy of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis can be better than the Mammography.","PeriodicalId":399131,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 2nd Portuguese Meeting in Bioengineering (ENBENG)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128289210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays, in clinical applications the image is reconstructed using a single scale or grid, i.e., the dimensions of the reconstructed volume or the projection space binning do not change during the reconstruction process. MS/MF introduces the concept of time frame to the multiscale reconstruction proposed by Raheja et al. This approach can be used for the generation of images reconstructed in near real time using a suitable scale, taking full advantage of list-mode reconstruction techniques. The generation of image sequences at different spatial scales and times may be useful to optimize the acquisition protocols on the fly as well as to improve the results of the segmentation and classification algorithms.","PeriodicalId":399131,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 2nd Portuguese Meeting in Bioengineering (ENBENG)","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116904282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The spectral dependence of the signals was also calculated using the coherence function.
