1. On the Use of a TiO2 Sol-Gel for Horseradish Peroxidase Enzyme Immobilization for Development of an Amperometric Biosensor
The sol-gel technique has drawn considerable attention in the area of biomolecules immobilization by virtue of its intrinsic properties including chemical inertness, thermal stability, and good biocompatibility. The present work reports the development of a bio-sensing methodology which involves the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase enzyme (HRP) on pe

2. FASE SENSORA DE POLI(CLORETO DE VINILA) NA DETECÇÃO DE 17β-ESTRADIOL EM MEIO AQUOSO UTILIZANDO ESPECTROSCOPIA NO INFRAVERMELHO MÉDIO E QUIMIOMETRIA
In recent years, estrogens have gained notable attention among emerging pollutants, increasingly leading to the need for less laborious analytical methods. Optical sensors are a promising technology for the determination of chemical contaminants in water, acting as an alternative screening method. The aim of this work was to evaluate the performance of poly(

3. Proteins and Peptides at the Interfaces of Nanostructures
Abstract: The present review focuses on the proteins and peptides at the interfaces of nanostructured metals and semiconductors as a result of their use in synthesis in-situ and functionalization of nanostructures. We start the review with an introduction about the peculiar properties of nanostructured materials and their applications. In the following, the

4. SENSOR SYSTEMS FOR MAPPING SOIL FERTILITY ATTRIBUTES: CHALLENGES, ADVANCES, AND PERSPECTIVES IN BRAZILIAN TROPICAL SOILS
ABSTRACT Soil fertility attributes have different scales and forms of spatial and temporal variations in agricultural fields. Adequate spatiotemporal characterization of these attributes is fundamental to the successful development of strategies for variable rate application of fertilizers, enabling the classic benefits of precision agriculture (PA). Studies

5. NONDESTRUCTIVE ESTIMATION OF LEAF NUTRIENT CONCENTRATIONS IN EUCALYPTUS PLANTATIONS
ABSTRACT Determination of leaf nutrient concentrations is traditionally performed by carrying out destructive procedures, requiring laboratory chemical analysis, specialized equipment, and skilled labor. However, technological advances in recent years have now made it possible to analyze leaf nutrient concentrations using non-destructive methods such as leaf

6. Development and characterization of gas sensors using thin films of polyaniline as active layer
ABSTRACT This work aimed at the development and characterization of gas sensing devices using thin films of polyaniline (PAni) as active layer, deposited by in situ polymerization. The polyaniline, an intrinsically conductive polymer, was used due to its high sensitivity to gases, low response time and stability, ease of synthesis and low cost. The sensor wa

7. Mapping Soil Cation Exchange Capacity in a Semiarid Region through Predictive Models and Covariates from Remote Sensing Data
ABSTRACT: Planning sustainable use of land resources requires reliable information about spatial distribution of soil physical and chemical properties related to environmental processes and ecosystemic functions. In this context, cation exchange capacity (CEC) is a fundamental soil quality indicator; however, it takes money and time to obtain this data. Alth

8. Satellite Spectral Data on the Quantification of Soil Particle Size from Different Geographic Regions
ABSTRACT: The study of soils, including their physical and chemical properties, is essential for agricultural management. Soil quality must be maintained to ensure sustainable production of food and conservation of natural resources. In this context, soil mapping is important to provide spatial information, which can be performed using remote sensing (RS) te

9. Water Erosion in Oxisols under Coffee Cultivation
ABSTRACT Water erosion is one of the main environmental impacts of land use. When soil and water losses occur, nutrients essential for the growth and maintenance of plants are removed, with harmful outcomes on the sustainability of agriculture and the environment. In addition, they lead to other deleterious effects, such as sedimentation and eutrophication o

10. AVALIAÇÃO DO DESEMPENHO DE UMA FASE SENSORA DE POLIURETANO POR MEIO DA ENERGIA DE GIBBS DE SOLVATAÇÃO E ESPECTROSCOPIA DE INFRAVERMELHO PARA DETERMINAÇÃO DE TOLUENO EM ÁGUA
A novel sensing phase of polyurethane was predicted by quantum chemical calculations as capable of detecting toluene, with the experimental results revealing a limit of detection of 1.4 mg L-1 in the determination of toluene in water samples. The quantum chemical computational strategy was validated by assessing the impact of the polymer matrix sensing phase

11. Surface Spectroscopy of Oxisols, Entisols and Inceptisol and Relationships with Selected Soil Properties
ABSTRACT: Traditional method of soil survey is expensive, slow, and must be carried out by experienced researchers. Thus, advances in soil observation technologies and the need to obtain information quickly by modern techniques have intensified the use of proximal sensing. This study characterized surface reflectance spectra (A horizon) and related them to t
