Dear colleagues,
just got some cells from OFK-6 hTERT2 cell line that were sent by a colleague. However when thawing them they were not viable. We used the Keratinocyte serum free media from Gibco (https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/PT/en/product/sigma/131500a?gclid=CjwKCAjwo8-SBhAlEiwAopc9W1gUBbw-9sMB10gLpDM49sN1gYhVc-7uQepsBp71TFywTR4Sjvvj-xoCzaMQAvD_BwE) and followed all the cautions with other cell lines. What could have gone wrong? Meanwhile, is there anyone, ideally in Spain, that could provide us some aliquoted of those cells? Of course we would arranje for shipment to Portugal. Many thanks!
Relevant answer
Answer
Hi, Joana,
Gibco provides the supplements for keratinocytes with the media as well that include EGF human recombinant and Bovine Pituitary extract. Did you add these in your media? And you would also need a antifungal and antibiotic to avoid contamination. Usually, with all this taken into account, they grow pretty well. All the best!

In countries without assisted PD funding...
How to overcome the difficulty in delivering assistance in peritoneal dialysis - when there isn't a family member available for such care? suggestions, experiences... with volunteers? medical or nursing students? if paid work, how to gather funding?
(a question from Portugal, but with a problematic similar in Mediterranean countries)
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Anabela,
You hit a very hot topic and I am adding my voice to you. I am originally from a Mediterranean country where we significantly struggle with such problem. We have the acute PD catheter and also the Permanent peritoneal catheter, then we get stuck how will we maintain chronic PD. After I observed the tools in the the UK and in the Western countries; I felt really sorry for all the children we have backhome. The problem is
a) lack of CAPD machine
b) No trained nurses or doctors or parents to do the job
c) No dedicated PD fluids or proper connections for that.
My suggested solutions (I am sure I can be wrong), but to think about:
a) Used, or unwanted CAPD machines from UK, Germany, France, .... to be redistributed to needy country.
b) Funds from ESPN and IPNA to train and supervise such practice and to give the appropriate training.
c) Donations of CAPD devices from the manufacturers as we will sustain the practice later.
c) Trial of funds from celebrities (for example you can try CR7) who are generally very generous once our voice reach them. This will add heavy weight to solve that.
I am happy to participate at any stage if there is a program that we can develop to help these children. The main treatment modality at the moment for children with ESRD is HD (this is for my country).
Kind regards ,

My name is Deepanjan Sharma and I am a PhD research fellow from University of Duisburg Essen and currently working in INL , Portugal. My main research focus is to understand the conductive properties of CIGS with different doping by using a newly developed CAFM technique. For this I want to create a model in SCAPS with layers of Diamond tip (E.Affinity 0.7eV, Eg 5.5 eV and Na 1E21 cm3) and CIGS with p-type doping.
My question is how to balance the left and right contact during establishing the model. In my case CiGS has Mo contact with workfunction 4.65eV(left) and tip has a gold contact with 5.1 eV (Right). But if I plug this number in the contacts there is no current flow whatsoever. But if I put flat band the dependence of IV is constant which is wrong compared to the experiment.
I would be very happy if ANYONE help me a little bit to get it right. If anyone need any sample data , screenshots of the instace where we having our problem I will be happy to send you. Just let me know.
Our goal is to get a simulated result of the AFM technique and correspondence with our experimental data ( this idea of the technique is very unique and never been done before).

Countries that experience financial or economic crises are either mismanaged or failed in their social engineering policies.

As a student in my final year of masters degree, i need to do a research project regarding one specific area of my interest. So, i want to search something about the 3D printing in retail and how are these technologies applied in this context.
I talked to my senior Professor wich he told me i have a few good research questions:
-The creation of added value through 3D Printing in the Value Chain;
-The intelectual property and illegalities regarding CAD Designs;
-Can the 3D printers in retail shops change the business model?;
All of these three questions look very good to do a search work. However, i was hoping maybe i could hear other opinions because this is such a sensitive subject that i need to be sure it is possible to be done, since this is about a technology who has not been truly implemented in most of companies worldwide, due to its limitations.

Since our last conversation, ive been talking to my Professor regarding the research question in the retail business.
First, i was able to secure a data source from a retail store (Staples). It seems they are partnering up with a portuguese 3D printing machine manufacturer in order to provide a service in wich the costumers go to the store, select what type of object they want to craft and the store do all the rest. It seems that this business model is based on pay-to-use.
I also talked to my Professor regarding the question "How are retailers incorporating AM applications into their business model?" (wich was your question from a paper you wrote). He liked it lot, said this could be applied to my research.
So, he told me to search for literature on how does a company changes from one business model to another (if i could find anything in the retail business, better) and how does a company react when facing a new technology curve.
Im just letting you know how this is going on, since it was from your question that i started all this.
Ill keep you posted.

Hey everyone, in my thesis one of my goals is to address the current knowledge on solitary bees (group of species). So i made a multiple choice survey covering the basic information about this subject. Which is the best way to analyze data ?
Questions example:
1. What are solitary bees?
A) Bees that do not form Beehive
B) Bees that have separate themselves from the Beehive
C) Bees responsible for collecting food
D) Non-fertile bees
Kind Regards,
Miguel
Relevant answer
Solitary bees are those species which are not eusocial.
That says they have 3 traits together: 1- division of labot /caste system involving sterile individuals that assist those that reproduce. 2- cooperation among colony member in tending the youngs. 3- overlap of generations capable of contributing to colony functioning. This is a basic definition from Gullan & Cranston "The insects - an outline of entomology, all the editions. So your responses (A,B,C and D) are not relevant and not true. Their is a problem with A: what do you call a Bee hive? if it is the "house of the bees" do you call "hive" the hole in the soil or in wood that a solitary bee does to lay her eggs and put food for the future youngs?

A more direct link to such publication can be the site of the Portuguese journal "Tourism & Management Studies" ( http://tmstudies.net/index.php/ectms ), as well as the sites of the TMS INternational Conferences - Algarve 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014. You simply have to write them in Google and the confences site will apear. As I remember on this conferences there were several papers on this topic an I myself reviewed a paper on literature torusim in Lisbon (tourism related to novels in which the action take place in Lisbon.

Hello,
I am a student in ecology, currently conducting a monitoring survey of butterflies in a reserve in Portugal.
I'm using a modification of the Pollard transect method in order to inventory butterfly species. My goal is to compare the butterfly diversity between the Inside and the outside of the reserve.
I have 3 different transects inside the reserve, and 3 transects outside, carefully defined to represent different types of habitat. I'm planning on doing 5 times each transect (so 5 replicates per transect).
At the end of my survey, I will calculate diversity indices (Shannon, Simpson,...) for each transect.
I was planning on doing a repeated measures anova to compare these indices, but I read recently that such indices needed to be transformed in order to be compared (for example, I should use exp(H') instead of H' in my statistical analysis).
My question is : do you think it's necessary to transform the diversity indices I'm going to calculate ?  If so, do you think a repeated measures anova is the good way to analyze my data, knowing that I'd like to compare butterfly diversity on different levels (Inside/outside of the reserve, but also between each transect) ?
I hope that my question is clear enough (if not, I can add some clarification).
Best regards,
Antoine

Dear Antoine,
For comparing diversity Index (for e.g. Shannon) you can use the T-Hutchenson (Zar, 1996; page 157). It is a specific analysis for comparing diversity index, I attached to this message a .xls file for calculating Hutchenson tes. You have to do this in paired way. Ifyou need help I'am available without interest to help you. (by the way, you dont need to replicate measures, nad the anova it does not work for comparing diversity index).
Best regards

We study the environmental external costs of charging electric vehicles in different European countries.
Different fuels and technologies (e.g. nuclear, coal, gas, hydro, wind, ...) are used in different countries to generate electricity and these power plants are switched on/off at different times of the day/week/year. Therefore the external costs of charging vehicles depend on the location (country) and time of day.
We are looking for datasets on the national electricity production per fuel/technology with a temporal resolution of 15 minutes. We have only been successful in locating such data (online) for Belgium and France. Finding this data will allow us to calculate the environmental benefits of electric vehicles and determine the best schemes for charging them in different countries.

I have found many useful resources in this post. In case someone needs to download data from Spain (Canary and Balearic Islands separately) here is a link to open data: http://www.esios.ree.es/web-publica/.
On the other side, I am interested also in open available generation data of ISOLATED SYSTEMS, like for example Flores island, Azores, which is studied in the article from André Pina.

I'm interested in thinking the criticism of Lusophony, CPLP and the Francophonie.

Answer
Hello Diego,
Since I live in Brazil, which was a Portuguese colony until 1922, I can only comment about what I know about how Portugal dealt with the locals and what was Portugal's policy in regard to the recently discovered lands which she occupied in the 1500s.
It is beyond any doubt that after Pedro A. Cabral discovered the Brazilian territory, all Portuguese expeditions sent here had the sole purpose of exploiting the new lands' natural resources. Brazil was rich in mineral ores and precious stones. The so-called "bandeiras" had the only function to discover where they existed. Once found, specially in what became the Minas Gerais state (General Mines, the name itself says a lot), for several centuries the Portuguese court explored them and hauled that immense richness back home.
Furthermore, before the trafficking of slaves from Africa, the Portuguese colonizers enslaved the local Indians, ill-treating them as later they did the same to the black slaves brought by force to the Brazilian "fazendas" in Portuguese hands.
In fact, Brazil's independence happened because the locals, descendants of Portuguese people, but having already acquired their own national identity as "Brazilians," revolted against Portugal's exploitation, taxation and political-military occupation. And, ironically, a Portuguese ruler - Don Pedro I - declared that independence as he congregated with the locals' feelings.
Similar abuses happened in all territories (terras d'além mar) that Portugal colonized. Just as a more recent example, the Mozambican independence revolution last for 10 years (1964-1974), as a result of the frustration amongst many Mozambicans, who saw the foreign rule as a form of exploitation and mistreatment, which sole purpose was to advance Portuguese economic interests. And the Mozambican independence was reached mainly because of the Carnation Revolution in 1974, which finally ended the Salazar era and created democracy in Portugal.
Therefore, if Margarido is very critical about Lusophony, he has good reasons and many similar examples to base his criticism. I recommend you read this paper, which speaks about Angola and clarifies why Margarido is so critical about the Portuguese dealings with colonized lands:
Les Porteurs : forme de domination et agents de changement en Angola (XVIIe-XIXe siècles)
Full text found here:
Interestingly, along the last two centuries, Brazilians kept no demurs in regard to Portugal and maintained very friendly relations with the Portuguese people an attitude which persists to our days. Subliminally though, the typical Brazilian jokes about the Portuguese seem to evoke some hidden bad feelings. Something for social psychologists to study and explain :-)
Be well and good luck in your research

I only have seeds.
Family: Fabaceae
Seed length – 0.26 cm
Seed width – 0.33 cm
At the place of collection, herbaceous vegetation was completely dry. In the middle of herbaceous vegetation, I identified some plants of the family Fabaceae. Most of the pods were already open and without seeds. I collected some seeds for species identification, in July, in Guarda, Portugal.
This photography was taken with magnifying glass (200 x).
Maybe someone knows this seed and can help me.

Though many years ago, I did my doctoral thesis about Vicia amphicarpa and I studied and characterized different Spanish populatins of this wild species. Your seeds look like those of some of my samples. So I would say that they could be of some Vicia species, probably one of the Vicia sativa group and maybe of Vicia amphicarpa. Only with the seeds is very dificult to identify the species, but you can sow them some of them in a pot and observe the plant

We are currently discussing a new genus name for a grasshopper species that is endemic to southern Portugal, southern Spain and northern Morocco (north of the Atlas Mts.). The region is often called the Afro-Atlanto-Mediterranean region, but this is of course a little bit lenghty to use it in a genus name. Is there any shorter scientific name for this region available?
Relevant answer
Answer
Well the main key is the both sides of the strait, therefore Herculeum is a good option,
Betic-riffian tectonic region does not include the portugeese side nor  but surely is the key tectonic reason for what you have found,
In  old roman times  we have Lusitania,Baetic and tingitanian provinces  comprising the distribution you refer to so why not to amalgamate them in " Tin/bae/lus".   Or Betingia from Betis and tingitania...
 You may also want to search and consider this names Cynetes/Turdetani/Buquata
Now before the Romans the South Iberian region was actually not Iberian but Tartesian/Tartessos and it included  the Portugeese Algarve,and most andalusian provinces...
So we have a good name for the Spanish portugeese side to join to the northAfrican Atlas  side  Altlantotarteso
Well just pick what you like...

I'm studding a pluton composed by a main porphyritic two-mica granite ( V granite) in which  occur small stocks of a fine grained muscovite granite with some concentration of tourmaline (L granite). Both granites have features of S-type granites and are late to post Variscan. However i don't know how to explain the shape of the REE from the L granite (attached file). 
Relevant answer
Answer
 Two mica (garnet?) and tourmaline bearing granites are produced by mica dehydration melting reactions of metapelites,  biotite  dehydration melting  results in garnet and K-feldspar as the peritectic product. REE and trace element data should be interpreted in the context of accessory minerals growth, dissolution and whether a certain accessory mineral is sequestering out of  the magma or not.  Actually, whole rock trace element geochemistry will not tell much as major minerals have little control on trace element geochemistry of magma. However,  the HREE pattern and Y ( see Th also) depletion should be interpreted in the light of monazite-garnet system (rim to core trace element geochemistry). This will have implications for the petrogenesis of these leucogranites and melting reactions for example in case of decompression melting of metapelites garnet breaks down to cordierite. But here it seems that garnet produced as the peritectic product hosting Y-HREE and might have sequestered out of the magma  leaving the melt deficient in these elements. Also if monazite is not pronounced then which mineral is hosting these higher concentration of lights?  In Himalaya-Karakoram there are many publications discussing two mica leucogranites, compare your data with them.
