13. Metrics derived from fish assemblages as indicators of environmental degradation in Cerrado streams
ABSTRACT The development of effective monitoring tools depends on finding sensitive metrics that are capable of detecting the most important environmental impacts at a given region. We assessed if metrics derived from stream fish assemblages reflect physical habitat degradation and changes in land cover. We sampled the ichthyofauna and environmental characte

14. Replacement of Commercial Silica by Rice Husk Ash in Epoxy Composites: A Comparative Analysis
Since epoxy resins are used as composite matrix with excellent results, and silica is one of the fillers most often employed, this study compared the performance of rice husk ash (RHA) as filler in epoxy composites, in replacement for high-purity silica. Composites were molded containing 20%, 40%, and 60% (wt) silica or RHA. Viscosity analysis, infrared spec

15. IN VITRO PHYTOREMEDIATION OF PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS BY Helianthus annuus L. PLANTS
Plant model systems are needed to properly conduct basic laboratory studies prior to field applications of phytoremediation. In vitro plant cultures are a useful tool for such research. This study focuses on the removal and/or degradation of 24 persistent organic pollutants under in vitro conditions by Helianthus annuus L (sunflower). The main purpose of exp

16. Menthol-loaded PLGA Micro and Nanospheres: Synthesis, Characterization and Degradation in Artificial Saliva
Menthol-loaded PLGA micro/nanospheres were synthesized using the multiple emulsion/solvent evaporation technique. Parameters such as stirring rate, external surfactant content, PLGA/menthol weight ratio, solvent evaporation and lyophilization time were evaluated as well as the degradation of micro/nanospheres in an artificial saliva medium. The menthol/PLGA

17. Degrading Pesticides with Waste Product: Imidazole-Functionalized Rice Husk Catalyst for Organophosphate Detoxification
Rice husk (RH) is one the largest agricultural waste products worldwide, and rice is one of the crops that use the most pesticides. Among these, organophosphates have been of increasing concern due to their high toxicity. Herein, we report the functionalization of RH with imidazole groups (RHIMZ) to obtain sustainable catalysts from waste for organophosphate

18. Development of a novel compound microbial agent for degradation of kitchen waste
Abstract Large quantities of kitchen waste are produced in modern society and its disposal poses serious environmental and social problems. The aim of this study was to isolate degradative strains from kitchen waste and to develop a novel and effective microbial agent. One hundred and four strains were isolated from kitchen waste and the 84 dominant strains

19. A STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF LAND USE AND OCCUPATION ON BASIN WATER QUALITY THROUGH MULTIVARIATE STATISTICS
ABSTRACT Without effective actions to improve environmental management, water resources tend to become scarce. Thus, this study aimed to understand the processes influencing the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the water due to land uses and occupation in the Ipê stream basin, in Ilha Solteira - SP (Brazil), regarding the dependence of the a

20. Evaluation of a Thermochromic Liquid Crystal for Use as a Temperature Sensor for Components of Electrical Systems
Connectors used in electrical power distribution systems should allow the passage of electricity continuously and without interruption. However, this does not always occur due to failure caused by improper assembly and/or corrosion of the materials employed, which reflects the quality of service. Notable among the new detection technologies that have been st

21. Remediação de solos contaminados por processos fenton: uma revisão crítica
The remediation of contaminated soils is probably one of the biggest environmental challenges, mainly due to the complex dynamics of the pollutants in this medium. Among a variety of treatment alternatives proposed for the in-situ remediation of contaminated soils, Fenton processes appear as the most cost-effective, particularly when catalyzed by native iron

22. Graphene Oxide/Zinc Oxide (GO/ZnO) Nanocomposite as a Superior Photocatalyst for Degradation of Methylene Blue (MB)-Process Modeling by Response Surface Methodology (RSM)
The photocatalytic performance of graphene oxide/zinc oxide (GO/ZnO) nanocomposite was investigated for degradation of methylene blue (MB) from wastewater and was compared with that of zinc oxide (ZnO), graphene oxide (GO) and carbon nanotube/zinc oxide (CNT/ZnO). The properties of the GO/ZnO nanocomposite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fouri

23. DEGRADAÇÃO FOTOCATALÍTICA DE ATRAZINA NA PRESENÇA DE CATALISADORES NANOPARTICULADOS
Atrazine is a persistent herbicide and several studies have detected their presence in drinking water sources. In this work the atrazine photocatalytic degradation was investigated in aqueous solution using TiO2, ZnO and TiO2/ZnO catalysts. The catalysts were synthesized by Pechini's method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron m

24. Sida tuberculata (Malvaceae): a study based on development of extractive system and in silico and in vitro properties
Sida tuberculata (Malvaceae) is a medicinal plant traditionally used in Brazil as an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent. Here, we aimed to investigate the different extractive techniques on phytochemical parameters, as well as to evaluate the toxicity and antioxidant capacity of S. tuberculata extracts using in silico and in vitro models. Therefore, i
