1. Influence of Refinery Asphalt Residue Addition on Flow: A Study Using Waxy Model-System
One of the main phenomena causing problems in the oil industry is the precipitation of waxes, which can crystallize and form deposits, clogging lines and reducing flows. Many studies have been conducted seeking to overcome this problem, mainly through application of chemical to increase flow. Some studies have shown that the asphaltenes present in crude oil

2. Efficient Encapsulation and Controlled Release of N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) from Oil-in-Water Emulsions Stabilized by Cationic Nanocellulose and Silica Nanoparticles
Oil-in-water emulsions containing N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) were developed aiming to extend the sustained release of the active compound, by using two oppositely charged nanomaterials, namely silica nanoparticles (SiNP) and cationic cellulose nanofibrils (CCNF), as stabilizers, and a mixture of food-grade nonionic surfactants to avoid precipitatio

3. Perioperative administration of recombinant activated factor VII in a Glanzmannʼs thrombasthenia patient with platelet refractoriness: case report
Abstract Glanzmannʼs Trombasthenia (GT) is a genetic disorder, that develops with a tendency toward bleeding and is characterized by the absence or decrease in platelet aggregation. Surgical bleeding may be difficult to control. Platelet transfusion is the main treatment, albeit refractoriness can occur. We describe the case of a patient with GT and platele

4. Population structure, diametric distribution and use of Commiphora leptopholoeos (Mart.) JB Gillett in arboreal Caatinga
ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to characterize the population structure, analyze the spatial distribution pattern and identify the potential use of the Commiphora leptopholoeos in the Contendas do Sincorá National Forest, BA. Thus, three disjoint transects of 40 x 160 m were installed for the phytosociological study and spatial distribution and sub

5. Relationship between the number of comorbidities, quality of life, and cardiac autonomic modulation in patients with coronary disease: a cross-sectional study
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate if there is a relationship between the number of comorbidities, autonomic modulation, and quality of life in patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted at an outpatient rehabilitation center in Presidente Prudente-SP, Brazil. A total of 27 particip

6. Bioconjugation Between CdTe Quantum Dots and a Cationic Protein: An Analytical Method to Determine Protamine in Drug and Urine Samples
CdTe quantum dots (QD-CdTe) functionalized with mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) were synthesized in an aqueous medium, varying synthesis time from 0.5 to 4 h. The nanoprobe were characterized by a direct relationship between synthesis time and QD size (2.61-3.04 nm). The QD-CdTe-MSA interacted with protamine (PT), a cationic protein, forming a bioconjugate, thus

7. Synthesis, Characterization, Spectroelectrochemical, Photophysical and HSA-Binding Properties of Novel and Versatile meso-Tetra(4-pyridylvinylphenyl)porphyrins Coordinated to Ruthenium(II)-Polypyridyl Derivatives
The free-base meso-tetra(4-pyridylvinylphenyl)porphyrin (1a) and its zinc(II) complex were synthesized and then functionalized with [Ru(bpy)2Cl]+ units (2a and 2b) via conventional methods and evaluated in terms of photophysical, electrochemical and biological aspects. All porphyrins present moderate singlet oxygen production and fluorescence quantum yield,

8. DEVELOPMENT OF AN ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF LEAD BASED ON LOCAL SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES
Lead is environmental pollutant that even in low trace is harmful for human health and wildlife. In this study we presented a colorimetric method for determination of Pb2+ in water by aggregation of silver nanoparticles capped citrate in the presence of deferoxamine as chelating agent. Silver nanoparticles were prepared by reduction of AgNO3 with NaBH4. In t

9. Effects of addition of engineered ZnO nanoparticles on the stability of colloidal suspensions containing TiO2 interacting with sandy soil
Abstract The stability of colloidal suspensions of engineered nanoparticles in the environment is of great interest for the risk assessment and treatment of hazardous materials. The relevance of this study is due to the evidence that engineered nanoparticles have been produced and used in commercial products in large scale, especially ZnO and TiO2, which are

10. Foreign direct investment in developing economies A study on the productivity spillover effects in Latin America
Abstract Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate how the productivity spillover effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Latin American economies are manifested. Specifically, the paper sought to identify the role of foreign presence and government intervention through an industrial policy on total factor productivity in Latin American cou

11. Recent Developments on the Elucidation of Colloidal Aspects of Asphaltenes and Their Relevance to Oilfield Problems
Asphaltenes constitute the heavy petroleum fraction responsible for deposition events that may lead to reduced oil production, therefore of great interest for flow assurance. These molecules self-assemble in solutions leading to formation of aggregates that eventually grow towards precipitation and blockages in reservoirs and pipelines. Based on the Yen-Mull

12. Enhanced external counterpulsation improves cardiac function in Beagles after cardiopulmonary resuscitation
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) on the cardiac function of beagle dogs after prolonged ventricular fibrillation. Twenty-four adult male beagles were randomly divided into control and EECP groups. Ventricular fibrillation was induced in the animals for 12 min, followed by 2 min of cardiopulmo
