1. Coprophagy in detritivores: methodological design for feeding studies in terrestrial isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea)
ABSTRACT Isopods consume feces in laboratory conditions. We investigated the effects of coprophagy on food consumption and assimilation and on isopod biomass to determine the best methodological design for feeding performance experiments. We used three species of isopods representing different eco-morphological groups and two leaves with different nitrogen c

2. Argamassas eco-eficientes com incorporação simultânea de material de mudança de fase e cinzas volantes
RESUMO Atualmente, a indústria da construção é um dos principais setores europeus responsáveis pelos elevados níveis de consumo de energia, extração de matérias-primas e produção de resíduos. Cada vez mais o consumo de energia proveniente de fontes renováveis e a reutilização de resíduos industriais constituem a única maneira de minimizar es

3. Materiales eco-compatibles reforzados a base de almidón de mandioca para aplicaciones agronómicas
ABSTRACT Plastic mulch is used in various crops production in order to increase yield, extend growing season, weed control, increase fertilizers efficiency and improve soil conditions. However, since such plastics removal and disposal represent not only an additional cost, but also a source of environmental pollution, interest in starch-based materials as a

4. Development of eco-efficiency comparison index through eco-indicators for industrial applications
Abstract In the last decades companies aligned with the concepts and principles of sustainable development have been seeking to minimize the environmental and social impacts caused by their operations. Typically, the primary environmental concerns in the industry were related to water consumption, wastewater production, waste generation, energy consumption a

5. Distribution of the members of the Pipiens Assemblage in the sympatric area from Argentina: which is where and when?
Given their medical and veterinary relevance, the members of the Pipiens Assemblage are a worldwide target of ecological research. The distribution of Culex pipiens s.s. and Cx. quinquefasciatus converge in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where hybrids have been detected. Each member of the assemblage exhibits a distinct eco-physiological behaviour that can affect

6. Materials Selection for Sustainable Executive Aircraft Interiors
This study proposes a methodological guide to explore and select materials for executive aircraft interiors, contributing toward a perspective of materials requirements, indicators and strategies to design more environmentally sustainable products. This was motivated by the signs from the aviation industry to reduce its environmental impact and the permanent

7. A Greener, Efficient and Catalyst-Free Ultrasonic-Assisted Protocol for the N-Fmoc Protection of Amines
A simple, eco-sustainable method for theN-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) (N-Fmoc) protection of various structurally amines under ultrasonic irradiation is reported. The corresponding N-Fmoc derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields within short reaction time. The reaction proceeds without the formation of any side product. Mildness, efficiency and

8. Environmental management maturity of local and multinational high-technology corporations located in Brazil: the role of business internationalization in pollution prevention
Abstract This paper identifies and characterizes the environmental maturity level of local and multinational high-technology corporations located in Brazil. This characterization is achieved by discussing the adoption of environmental management practices and considering aspects of the productive process stage. An eight-case study was conducted through data

9. A Prompt, Tough and Eco-Friendly (PTOCO) System for Mini-Scale Extraction of Samples for Antioxidant Capacity Assays
The compound extraction is an important step before analyzing composition of samples with antioxidant capacity. Several extraction conditions can be employed (temperature, polarity of solvent and extraction time, for example), and the chosen variables exert great influence upon final results. Thus, in order to execute an efficient extraction, it is needed to

10. Sleep pattern and learning in knockdown mice with reduced cholinergic neurotransmission
Impaired cholinergic neurotransmission can affect memory formation and influence sleep-wake cycles (SWC). In the present study, we describe the SWC in mice with a deficient vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) system, previously characterized as presenting reduced acetylcholine release and cognitive and behavioral dysfunctions. Continuous, chronic ECo

11. Green Propellants: Oxidizers
ABSTRACT: The research for low toxicity and no damage to the environment has stimulated the development of specific investigation lines in many areas. Inevitably, the criteria for safe handling, sensitivity and, above all, specific impulse (efficiencies) of propellant compositions are still superior in relation to ecological appeals. Nowadays, however, the s
