1. Vibrational Spectroscopy and Chemometrics in Forensic Chemistry: Critical Review, Current Trends and Challenges
The present manuscript makes an extensive review of the scientific approaches developed in the last decade involving infrared and Raman spectroscopy combined with chemometrics for solving several issues in the investigation of the most relevant forensic traces, such as questioned documents and currency, explosives, gunshot residues, illicit drugs and body fl

2. Simplified expressions for dynamic behavior of cylindrical shells uncoupled and coupled with liquids
Abstract The dynamic behavior of cylindrical shells is essential in many practical applications. These include in-vacuum and coupled vibrations of structures with contained fluids. Closed-form solutions are extremely complex since they involve many terms and algebraic operations that require numerical solvers. In this work, a simplified closed-form solution

3. Two-dimensional Flow of Power-law Fluids over a Pair of Cylinders in a Side-by-Side Arrangement in the Laminar Regime
Abstract This manuscript presents the effect of Reynolds number (Re) and proximity of the bodies on the hydrodynamics of flow of shear-thinning, Newtonian and shear-thickening fluids over a pair of cylinders kept in side-by-side arrangement. Results obtained from the numerical simulations carried out with a combination of different parameters in the range of

4. Antiviral activity of animal venom peptides and related compounds
Abstract Viruses exhibit rapid mutational capacity to trick and infect host cells, sometimes assisted through virus-coded peptides that counteract host cellular immune defense. Although a large number of compounds have been identified as inhibiting various viral infections and disease progression, it is urgent to achieve the discovery of more effective agent

5. THE FORMATION BEHAVIOR OF A SINGLE BUBBLE IN POWER-LAW FLUIDS
Abstract The formation behavior of a single bubble in power-law fluids (carboxymethyl cellulose solution, CMC) and Newtonian fluids (glycerol solution) was experimentally investigated via a high-speed camera. The effects of liquid property, orifice diameter and gas flow rate on bubble volume and aspect ratio were observed. It was found that the formation tim

6. LINEAR STABILITY ANALYSIS AND CFD SIMULATION OF DOUBLE-LAYER RAYLEIGH-BÉNARD CONVECTION
Abstract Natural convection in superimposed layers of fluids heated from below is commonly observed in many industrial and natural situations, such as crystal growth, co-extrusion processes and atmospheric flow. The stability analysis of this system reveals a complex dynamic behavior, including the potential multiplicity of stationary states and occurrence o

7. Validation and clinical application of a molecular method for the identification of Cryptococcus neoformans/Cryptococcus gattii complex DNA in human clinical specimens
ABSTRACT The diagnosis of cryptococcosis is usually performed based on cultures of tissue or body fluids and isolation of the fungus, but this method may require several days. Direct microscopic examination, although rapid, is relatively insensitive. Biochemical and immunodiagnostic rapid tests are also used. However, all of these methods have limitations th

8. Reflection of attenuated waves at the surface of a fractured porous solid saturated with two immiscible viscous fluids
The mathematical model for wave motion in a fractured porous solid is solved for the propagation of harmonic plane wave along a general direction in 3-D space. The solution is obtained in the form of Christoffel equations, which are solved further to define the complex velocities and polarisations of five attenuated wavesin the medium. Four of these waves ar

9. Mapping and signaling of neural pathways involved in the regulation of hydromineral homeostasis
Several forebrain and brainstem neurochemical circuitries interact with peripheral neural and humoral signals to collaboratively maintain both the volume and osmolality of extracellular fluids. Although much progress has been made over the past decades in the understanding of complex mechanisms underlying neuroendocrine control of hydromineral homeostasis, s

10. Epicoccum nigrum and Cladosporium sp. for the treatment of oily effluent in an air-lift reactor
The metalworking industry is responsible for one of the most complex and difficult to handle oily effluents. These effluents consist of cutting fluids, which provide refrigeration and purification of metallic pieces in the machining system. When these effluents are biologically treated, is important to do this with autochthonous microorganisms; the use of th

11. Avaliação do acoplamento explícito entre simulação de reservatório e sistema de produção / Evaluation of explicit coupling between reservoir simulator and production facilities system
Various methodologies to model the coupling of reservoirs and production systems have been applied in the oil industry in recent years due to the need to model properly the integrated solution of models that represent the flow of fluids through the reservoir to the surface. These methodologies are used to forecast production of multiple reservoirs, sharing p

12. EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF ELONGATED BUBBLES IN HORIZONTAL TWO-PHASE INTERMITTENT FLOW / ESTUDO EXPERIMENTAL DE BOLHAS ALONGADAS NO ESCOAMENTO BIFÁSICO HORIZONTAL INTERMITENTE
The present work experimentally studied several relevant dynamic characteristics of gas-liquid intermittent flow through a horizontal pipe. All tests were performed in a test section formed by 50.8 mm internal diameter pipe using air and water as working fluids. The tests covered a region where the flow undergoes a complex transition from elongated bubble fl
