Rail Transport
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport using wheeled vehicles running in railway track, tracks, which usually consist of two parallel steel railway track, rails. Rail transport is one of the two primary means of land transport, next to road transport. It is used for about 8% of passenger and rail freight transport, freight transport globally, thanks to its Energy efficiency in transport, energy efficiency and potentially high-speed rail, high speed.Rolling stock on rails generally encounters lower friction, frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, allowing rail cars to be coupled into longer trains. Power is usually provided by Diesel locomotive, diesel or Electric locomotive, electric locomotives. While railway transport is capital intensity, capital-intensive and less flexible than road transport, it can carry heavy loads of passengers and cargo with greater energy efficiency and safety.

IP2 (Portugal)
NF-kappa-B essential modulator (NEMO) also known as inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase subunit gamma (IKK-γ) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''IKBKG'' gene. NEMO is a subunit of the IκB kinase complex that activates NF-κB. The human gene for IKBKG is located on the chromosome band Xq28. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Function NEMO (IKK-γ) is the regulatory subunit of the inhibitor of IκB kinase (IKK) complex, which activates NF-κB resulting in activation of genes involved in inflammation, immunity, cell survival, and other pathways. Clinical significance Mutations in the IKBKG gene results in incontinentia pigmenti, hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, and several other types of immunodeficiencies. Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP) is an X-linked dominant disease caused by a mutation in the IKBKG gene. Since IKBKG helps activate NF-κB, which protects cells against TNF-alpha induced apoptosis ...

Ramal De Reguengos
Ramal de Reguengos, originally called Linha do Guadiana, was a railway branch line which connected the stations of Évora railway station, Évora and Reguengos de Monsaraz railway station, Reguengos de Monsaraz, in Portugal. It was opened on 6 April 1927. In the 1920s and 1930s, the Portuguese and Spanish governments debated about extending the line across the border to Zafra. However, by the mid-1930s, the project had fizzled away. On 29 August 1988, the then-commercial director of Comboios de Portugal, Caminhos de Ferro Portugueses announced plans in Diário de Lisboa to close the passenger services on the line, limiting traffic to freight trains, and to replace it with a bus service due to reduced demand. Simultaneously, the passenger traffic on the Ramal de Moura, Moura and Ramal de Portalegre, Portalegre lines was also announced to be terminated. This move was harshly criticized by railway unions and the local authorities. This began the decline of the line. On July 30, 202 ...

Estremoz Railway Station
Estremoz () is a municipality in Portugal. The population in 2011 was 14,318, in an area of 513.80 km2. The city Estremoz itself had a population of 7,682 in 2001.

During the Reconquista, Estremoz was captured in the 12th century by the army of knight Geraldo Sem Pavor (''Gerald the Fearless''), who had also conquered neighbouring Évora. However, Estremoz was soon retaken by the Moors and only in the mid-13th century was it reconquered by the Portuguese King Sancho II. An important strategic site between the Kingdoms of Portugal and Castile, Estremoz received a charter (fuero) in 1258 from Afonso III after the Moors were driven out a second time, which promoted Christian colonization in the area. King Dinis rebuilt the castle as a royal palace, further promoting the area. His widow, Dow ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
