1. Yellow Mombin (Spondias mombin L.) Seeds from Agro-Industrial Waste as a Novel Adsorbent for Removal of Hexavalent Chromium from Aqueous Solutions
The objective of this study was to develop a low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbent from agro-industrial waste for the removal of hexavalent chromium in the aqueous medium. The adsorbent (BMC) produced from yellow mombin (Spondias mombin L.) seeds was characterized by the determination of the chemical composition, thermal analysis (thermogravimetric (TG) analys

2. Updating the role of matrix metalloproteinases in mineralized tissue and related diseases
Abstract Bone development and healing processes involve a complex cascade of biological events requiring well-orchestrated synergism with bone cells, growth factors, and other trophic signaling molecules and cellular structures. Beyond health processes, MMPs play several key roles in the installation of heart and blood vessel related diseases and cancer, ran

3. Effects of taurine supplementation in elite swimmers performance
Abstract AIM Taurine is considered a semi-essential amino acid characterized by having various physiological functions in the body that modulate mechanisms of action involved in the muscle contraction process, increased energy expenditure, insulin signaling pathway, carbohydrate metabolism, and scavenging free radicals. These functions are crucial for aerob

4. Roles of quorum sensing molecules from Rhizobium etli RT1 in bacterial motility and biofilm formation
ABSTRACT Strain RT1 was isolated from root nodules of Lens culinaris (a lentil) and characterized as Rhizobium etli (a Gram-negative soil-borne bacterium) by 16S rDNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The signaling molecules produced by R. etli (RT1) were detected and identified by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Th

5. Osteoarthritis in horses - Part 2: a review of the intra-articular use of corticosteroids as a method of treatment
ABSTRACT: The problem considered in this review is related to the frequent use of corticosteroids (COs) (i.e. steroids) in the practice of equine medicine and surgery as a therapeutic strategy in the treatment of degenerative joint disease, commonly known as osteoarthritis (OA). This disease is one of the most common among the equine musculoskeletal diseases

6. Is ISO 14001 certification effective?: an experimental analysis of firm profitability
This paper examines the effect environmental management certification (ISO 14001) has on publicly traded Brazilian companies profitability. Signaling theory predicts that the certification serves to signal to society good environmental behavior; allowing people to screen the different types of firms, improving the financial-economic performance of those firm

7. The justification of organizational performance in annual report narratives
In this paper, the nature of organizational discourse is theoretically underpinned by the concept of self-serving attributions, a type of causal reasoning that allows the writer to take credit for good news and avoid blame for bad news. We incorporated signaling theory to the extant theoretical framework for self-serving attributions in order to develop hypo

8. Sistemas de certificação florestal no setor de papel e celulose : influências no desempenho exportador
A crescente preocupação mundial com o manejo dos recursos florestais tem exercido grande pressão nos ambientes extrativistas e industriais ligados à base produtiva silvícola. Em vista da dificuldade de se estabelecer quais empresas e produtores adotam padrões produtivos ambientalmente sustentáveis, o uso das certificações tem ganhado notoriedade, fu

9. A certificação ISO 9000 e o desempenho financeiro das companhias abertas brasileiras
The evidences that the quality management practices contribute positively to the financial performance of a firm do not produce a consensus. It is important to take off the impression ISO 9000 is so popular that it could not deserve more intense and effective academic production; there are many effects promoted by the introduction of this standard at the org

11. DDAN: A distributed directory for ambient networks / DDAN: A distributed directory for ambient networks
Ambient Networks (AN) were designed with the goal of establishing the interoperability between different types of networks. This interoperability aims to attend the services requested by users, independently of their current location, type of network and access technology. The Project is motivated by futuristic scenarios which make the technology more and mo

12. Subcellular localization of sugarcane (Sccharum spp.) proteins : in silico characterization and functional evaluation / Localização subcelular de proteinas de cana-de-açucar (Sccharum spp.) : caracterização in silico e avaliação funcional
Plant cells are highly organized and many biological processes are associated with specialized subcellular structures. Subcellular localization is a key feature of proteins, since it is related to biological function. The determination of subcellular localization using computational prediction is a highly desirable strategy because experimental approaches ar
