1. Water footprint of Arabica coffee from “Matas de Minas” under shade management
ABSTRACT Studies related to climate change and agricultural value chains have in common the growing concern on conserving water resources. Thus, the concept of the water footprint stands out, which measures the amount of water (in volume) necessary to produce a unit (in mass) of a given product. Among Brazilian agricultural activities, coffee farming emerges

2. Boosting the Photocurrent of the WO3/BiVO4 Heterojunction by Photoelectrodeposition of the Oxy-Hydroxide-Phosphates Based on Co, Fe, or Ni
Here we investigated the photoelectrodeposition of oxygen-evolving catalysts (OECs) based on oxy-hydroxides-phosphates of Co, Fe, or Ni (CoPi, FePi, and NiPi) on the WO3/BiVO4 heterojunction and their activity in water oxidation. The OECs were deposited by cycles of (i) open-circuit potential (OCP) and (ii) applying a potential positive enough to oxidize the

3. Constipation in the period of limited isolation during COVID-19 pandemic
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: COVID-19 outbreak has become widespread globally and caused a new global chaos. This outbreak that completely affected the lifestyle of individuals resulted in periods of isolation. Here, we evaluated the effects of lifestyle changes with isolation on constipation. METHODS: A survey on constipation was performed during the 12-week isolat

4. Iron Cobaltite (FeCo2O4) Nanocatalysts for Water-Oxidation: Effects of Annealing Temperature on Catalytic Properties
The development of efficient, stable, and non-precious metal water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) is a matter of importance for sustainable energy research. In this work, iron cobaltite (FeCo2O4) nanoparticles were prepared by the coprecipitation method, and we present the effect of heat treatment (250, 350, 450, 650 and 900 °C) on the catalytic properties.

5. ASSESSMENT OF α-AMYLASE INHIBITION ACTIVITY BY AN OPTIMIZED AND VALIDATED IN VITRO MICROSCALE METHOD
Metabolic disorders, including hyperglycemia, characterize type-2 diabetes. One of the treatment methods used for postprandial hyperglycemia includes using potential therapeutic agents to inhibit α-amylase activity. This study utilized fractional design and the simplex method to optimize in vitro microscale assay inhibition conditions using Miller’s react

7. DRYING CHARACTERISTICS AND QUALITY ANALYSIS OF HOT AIR-ASSISTED RADIO FREQUENCY AND HOT-AIR DRYING OF JUJUBE ( Zizyphus jujube Miller cv. Jinsixiaozao )
ABSTRACT Radio frequency (RF) drying is a rapid dehydration technique that reduces water activity and extends the shelf life of agricultural products. In this study, the drying characteristics of jujube during HARF and hot air (HA) were investigated, and quality analyses, such as color, vitamin C (VC) and total flavonoid content (TFC), of jujube were perform

8. Magnetic concentration route for recovering pellet feed fines stored in a mining dam
Abstract The greatest and noblest challenge of mining engineering for the present and the future of iron ore treatment could be considered as the pursuit of optimizing the use of mineral resources. The use of mining tailings, in the mineral sector itself, or in another industrial branch, meets the needs of circular economy as it increases the useful service

9. Pirarucu larviculture in green water provides heavier fish and modulates locomotor activity
RESUMO A técnica de água verde utiliza microalgas na água durante a larvicultura indoor, proporcionando um ambiente mais escuro que favorece o crescimento, bem-estar e saúde dos peixes. Avaliamos o crescimento e a atividade locomotora após exposição à luz de larvas de pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) criadas em água verde ou clara. Em um teste, larvas de p

10. Production of milk analogues from rice bran protein hydrolysate using the subcritical water technique
Abstract Subcritical water treatment is a useful technique for the extraction of active compounds from biomass materials due to its short processing time, low cost, and environmental sustainability. Defatted rice bran is a by-product of rice bran oil, which still contains protein. In this study, rice bran protein was extracted using subcritical water treatme

12. Optimization of ultrasound-assisted extraction of turkish propolis and characterization of phenolic profile, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity
Abstract This study aimed to determine optimum conditions of the ultrasound assited extraction (UAS) parameters for different solvent types by using response surface methodology (RSM) and Box- Behnken design. The model parameters namely, time, temperature and ultrasound power significantly affected TPC value of the propolis extract (P < 0.05). The optimum pr
