The quorum sensing (QS) system has been used by many opportunistic pathogenic bacteria to coordinate their virulence determinants in relation to cell-population density.As antibiotic-resistant bacteria are on the rise, interference with QS has been regarded as a novel way to air fresheners control bacterial infections.As such, many plant-based natu
Abstract The objective of this work was to determine the force required to detach fruits of Conilon coffee (Coffea canephora) genotypes in five maturation stages, to determinate the best stage for mechanized harvest, and to verify the possibility of future selections of genotypes adapted to mechanized harvesting.Harvests were carried out in the 201

Shawl Musicians imagine music during mental rehearsal, when reading from a score, and while composing.An important characteristic of music is its temporality.Among the parameters that vary through time is sound intensity, perceived as patterns of loudness.Studies of mental imagery for melodies (i.e.pitch and rhythm) show interference from concurren
