1. Thermal Infrared Enthalpimetry in Paper Microzone Plates for Green and High Throughput Determination of Wine Acidities

The use of paper devices in chemical analysis has been increased due to their low cost, high surface area, portability, and biodegradability. A novel use of paper devices is proposed using thermal infrared enthalpimetry (TIE) for a rapid, green, and high throughput determination of wine acidities. The determination of total, fixed, and volatile acidities in

2. Evaluation of a Graphite-Polyurethane Composite Electrode Modified with Copper Nanoparticles as an Amperometric Flow Detector in a Wall-Jet System for the Determination of Cysteine

A graphite-polyurethane composite electrode (GPUE) was modified by electrodeposition of copper nanoparticles (CuNP) followed by electrochemical treatment in NaOH (GPUE-CuNP), in order to prepare an amperometric sensor for the determination of cysteine (Cys). Cyclic votammograms of Cys solutions at GPUE-CuNP allowed the description of a sequence of electroche

3. INTER/INTRA-OBSERVER EVALUATION BETWEEN RADIOGRAPHS AND TOMOGRAPHIES FOR PROXIMAL HUMERUS FRACTURE

RESUMO Objetivo: O uso de imagens em reconstrução 3D são um instrumento facilitador na interpretação da fratura, observações dos desvios, rotações e superfície articular. Objetivo: Avaliar a confiabilidade inter-observador e intra-observador da classificação da fratura de úmero proximal, descrita por Neer x AO, em radiografias versus tomografi

4. Structural reliability model considering mixed probabilistic and interval variables

Abstract Traditional probability-based structural reliability analysis method can only consider random uncertainties described by random distribution functions, which required sufficient experimental samples. On comparison, interval uncertainties can be more appropriate when lacking information. In realistic situations, several structural reliability models

5. Organic acids and hydrogen peroxide can replace chlorinated compounds as sanitizers on strawberries, cucumbers and rocket leaves

Abstract This work evaluated the effectiveness of 1 and 2% acetic and lactic acid, 3% hydrogen peroxide, 200 mg/L sodium hypochlorite and 200 mg/L sodium dichloroisocyanurate to reducing natural contaminants as well as Salmonella enterica Enteritidis inoculated on the surface of strawberries, cucumbers, and rocket leaves. The reduction of aerobic mesophilic

6. Effects of Geometrical Feature on Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of Refill Friction Stir Spot Welding 6061 Aluminum Alloy

Refill friction stir spot welding (refill FSSW) is a solid state joining technology developed and patented by Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht. Refill FSSW is a welding process suitable for spot joining lightweight materials in similar and dissimilar joint configuration. The result is a spot welded in lap configuration with minimal material loss and a flat surfa

7. Cultivable bacterial diversity associated with bromeliad roots from ironstone outcrops in central Brazil

Resumo Estudos sobre a diversidade bacteriana associada a plantas silvestres são raros, especialmente naqueles que crescem em associação com bromélias. No presente estudo, isolamos e identificamos bactérias epífitas e endofíticas das raízes das bromélias Dyckia excelsa, D. leptostachya e Deuterocohnia meziana ocorrentes nas “cangas” no Pantanal

RESUMO No presente trabalho foram estudadas, em condições de câmara climatizada, a influência da temperatura (10, 15, 20, 25 e 30°C) e da duração do molhamento foliar (6, 12, 24 e 48 horas) na severidade da queima das folhas da cenoura incitada por Alternaria dauci. A densidade relativa de lesões foi influenciada pela temperatura e pela duração do

Abstract In this study, polyetherimide/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PEI/PVP) hollow fiber membranes (HFMs) were synthesized by the phase inversion method. The synthesized PEI/PVP membranes were characterized by morphological analysis and transport properties (hydraulic permeability and solute rejection coefficient). Their performance in uremic solutes separation wa

10. DISRUPTION OF Nannochloropsis gaditana (EUSTIGMATOPHYCEAE) RIGID CELL WALL BY NON-THERMAL PLASMA PRIOR TO LIPID EXTRACTION AND ITS EFFECT ON FATTY ACID COMPOSITION

Abstract This study assessed the effect of non-thermal plasma (NTP) on Nannochloropsis gaditana cell rupture and subsequent lipid extraction. Micrograph images showed that the surface of original N. gaditana cells appeared smooth and had no apparent holes, whereas after NTP the cells showed a non-uniform apparently fractured surface with many pores and large

Abstract Cantilever nanobiosensors have emerged as an alternative to conventional methods of analysis to monitor heavy metals, which are being highlighted by detecting substances at the micro and nanoscale through the use of sensor layers. In the present study, a new cantilever nanobiosensor was developed functionalized with urease enzyme by self-assembled m

Abstract Aortic valve endocarditis can lead to secondary involvement of aorto-mitral curtain and the adjacent anterior mitral leaflet (AML). The secondary damage to AML is often caused by the infected jet of aortic regurgitation hitting the ventricular surface of the mitral leaflet, or by the pronounced bacterial vegetation that prolapses from the aortic val
