Impact of public and private sector external debt on economic growth: the case of Portugal
External debt may affect economic growth differently among countries. We assess the effect of the Portuguese external debt for the 1999–2019 period. Portugal had the highest net external debt among the foundin...

Open AccessGene expression and functional deficits underlie TREM2-knockout microglia responses in human models of Alzheimer’s disease
The discovery of TREM2 as a myeloid-specific Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk gene has accelerated research into the role of microglia in AD. While TREM2 mouse models have provided critical insight, the normal an...

Rheological behavior of compatibilized and non-compatibilized PA6/EPM blends
The rheological properties of PA-6/EPM polymer blends, non-compatibilized and compatibilized with grafted ethylene propylene rubber (EPM-g-MA), have been investigated. Linear and non-linear (relaxation both in...
