Unveiling fieldbus network technology through project-based learning

Fieldbus communications networks are a fundamental part of modern industrial automation technique. This paperwork presents an application of project-based learning (PBL) paradigm to help electrical engineering students grasp the major concepts of fieldbus networks, while attending a one-term long, elective microcontroller course. © 2012 IEEE.

It only takes one to do many jobs: Amphotericin B as antifungal and immunomodulatory drug

Amphotericin B acts through pore formation at the cell membrane after binding to ergosterol is an accepted dogma about the action mechanism of this antifungal, and this sentence is widely found in the literature. But after 60 years of investigation, the action mechanism of Amphotericin B is not fully elucidated. Amphotericin B is a polyene substance that is one of the most effective drugs for the treatment of fungal and parasite infections. As stated above, the first mechanism of action described was pore formation after binding to the ergosterol present in the membrane. But it has also been demonstrated that AmB induces oxidative damage in the cells. Moreover, amphotericin B modulates the immune system, and this activity has been related to the protective effect of the molecule, but also to its toxicity in the host. This review tries to provide a general overview of the main aspects of this molecule, and highlight the multiple effects that this molecule has on both the fungal and host cells. © 2012 Mesa-Arango, Scorzoni and Zaragoza.

Novas Fronteiras Acadêmicas: Cooperação entre grupos de pesquisa em ciência da informação no Brasil

Displays the context of the Project Network cooperation and learning in information science: PPGCI / UFPB and PPGCI / UNESP / Marilia, under the National Program of Academic Cooperation - Action New Frontiers (NF-Procad) Coordination for the Improvement of Higher (CAPES). Describes the procedures for financing, consisting of Missions Studies, Missions Teaching and Research and Post-Doctoral Internship in the country highlights the Groups and Research areas involved in the project and discusses the theoretical approach adopted and the conceptual network that guides actions teaching and research. We report the activities in the first two years of the project and discusses ongoing and planned activities.

The calcium wave model of the perception-action cycle: Evidence from semantic relevance in memory experiments

We present a general model of brain function (the calcium wave model), distinguishing three processing modes in the perception-action cycle. The model provides an interpretation of the data from experiments on semantic memory conducted by the authors. © 2013 Pereira Jr, Santos and Barros.
