ABSTRACT: The present study described the prevalence and factors associated with seropositivity for anti-Brucella spp. antibodies in working equids semiarid regionofnortheastern Brazil. Blood samples were collected from 322 (76 horses, 155 mules 91 donkeys). Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT) was used as a screening method. Samples that reactive RBPT tested confirmation using 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME...

We report on a campaign of X-ray and soft γ-ray observations of the black hole candidate H 1743-322 (also named IGR J17464-3213), performed with the RXTE, INTEGRAL and Swift satellites. The source was observed during a short outburst between 2008 October 03 and 2008 November 16. The evolution of the hardness-intensity diagram throughout the outburst is peculiar, in that it does not follow the c...

Inorganic compounds in biomass, often referred to as ash, are known to be problematic in the thermochemical conversion of biomass to bio-oil or syngas and, ultimately, hydrocarbon fuels because they negatively influence reaction pathways, contribute to fouling and corrosion, poison catalysts, and impact waste streams. The most common ash-analysis methods, such as inductively coupled plasma-opti...
