Ability to anticipate aversive events is important for avoiding dangerous or unpleasant situations.The motivation to avoid an event is influenced by the incentive salience of an event-predicting cue.In an avoidance fMRI task we used tone intensities to manipulate salience in order to study the involvement of the orbitofrontal cortex in processing o
A modular LabVIEW application frame for Knudsen Effusion Mass Spectrometry instrument control
Knudsen Effusion Mass Spectrometry is an important research technique to determine the partial pressures of vapour species at equilibrium over different materials at skirt a given temperature.The vapour pressure is one of the fundamental properties of a material and needed for any modelling involving temperatures where it is not negligible.Many res
An Annotated Checklist and the Conservation Status of Chondrichthyans in the Adriatic
Although there is a high number of publications listing fish species in the Adriatic, only a few have focused on chondrichthyans, while their conservation status has been investigated even less.Thus, this paper aims to provide an updated and annotated checklist of the chondrichthyans occurring in the Adriatic waters with their presence and conserva

Nutritional, physicochemical and sensorial acceptance of functional cookies enriched with xiquexique (Pilosocereus gounellei) flour.
The objective of this study was the production of innovative functional cookies enriched with two different sizes (100 and 28 mesh) xiquexique flour by substitution ratio 50% of wheat flour and monitoring the impact of these enrichments on the nutritional, physicochemical, texture characteristics and consumer acceptance.The physicochemical characte
