Evaluation of the successive approximations method for acoustic streaming numerical simulations.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America

Catarino SO, Minas G, Miranda JM.
PMID: 27250122
J Acoust Soc Am. 2016 May;139(5):2269. doi: 10.1121/1.4946993.

This work evaluates the successive approximations method commonly used to predict acoustic streaming by comparing it with a direct method. The successive approximations method solves both the acoustic wave propagation and acoustic streaming by solving the first and second...

CXCL12 chemokine genotypes as predictive biomarkers of ovarian cancer outcome.

Molecular medicine reports

Coelho A, Pereira D, Nogal A, Pinto D, Catarino R, Araújo A, Medeiros R.
PMID: 21475798

Use of fluorescent-labelled nanoplastics (NPs) to demonstrate NP absorption is inconclusive without adequate controls.

The Science of the total environment

Catarino AI, Frutos A, Henry TB.
PMID: 30921723
