1. 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

2. Development of a Simple and Fast Procedure Based on Acid Dilution for Determination of Macro and Microelements in Guarana-Based Beverages by ICP OES
A simple analytical procedure is proposed for the direct analysis of guarana-based beverages in order to determine nutrient elements by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES). A Box-Behnken design, combined with Derringer’s desirability function, was applied to the simultaneous optimization of the ICP OES radiofrequency (RF), sa

3. Omni-Directional Wideband Antenna Array with Solar Cells
Abstract Distributed sensor networks are becoming more and more widespread due to their substantial benefits to our daily lives. These sensors, in most cases, are distributed in nature and even may require mobility. This, in turn, implies omnidirectional collector units to collect the data from various sensors at arbitrary directions. This work summarizes th

4. Mucuna pruriens fiber: nutritional, functional and biological properties
Abstract An evaluation was done of the nutritional, functional and antioxidant properties of fiber residues from Mucuna pruriens bean. Nutritional value was quantified in terms of proximate composition, total dietary fiber (TDF), insoluble dietary fiber (IDF), soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and the Van Soest fiber components. Functional value was assayed by mea

5. A new polysaccharide isolated from Dendrobium offcinale, stimulates aquaporin-3 expression in human keratinocytes
Abstract Polysaccharides are the major components of the water extract from Dendrobium officinale, which have been thoroughly studied and found to have favorable moisturizing properties on mammalian skin. However, the structures of polysaccharides on skin moisturizing properties remains unknown. The aim of this study was to extract and characterize D. offici

6. TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF USING A VARIABLE-FREQUENCY DRIVE IN MICRO-IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
ABSTRACT Irrigation is essential for the development of crops in regions with scarcity or irregular rainfall distribution, enabling high productivity. However, the use of water resources and electrical energy leads to a concern with irrigation efficiency. Pressure demand varies during the operations of irrigation systems and the appropriate pressure can be r

7. Poor sanitation and transmission of COVID-19 in Brazil
ABSTRACT Coronavirus is a family of viruses that cause respiratory infections. From cases first recorded in China at the end of 2019, a new type of virus in this family, named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was discovered. The disease caused by this virus, COVID-19, was brought into Brazil by people in social classes with great

8. The effect of extraction method and types of coagulants on the results and physicochemical properties of tofu
Abstract Extraction and coagulation techniques are essential stages in tofu production. This research studies the effect of extraction and coagulation techniques on physicochemical properties of soybean extract, soy pulp, and tofu. This study applies three extraction techniques, namely manual heat extraction, manual cold extraction, and cold extraction using

9. DAMS SAFETY INDEX (DSI): A REASSESSMENT OF THE PARAMETERS OF ANALYSIS
ABSTRACT Dams provide a water supply, irrigation and power generation. However, the economic, social and environmental impacts are serious when they rupture. It is important that dams continue to function properly and are constantly evaluated for their safety and functionality. Contrary to general belief, small dams are the ones that present the most problem

10. Seasonal performance of aquatic macrophytes in improving physicochemical parameters of swine wastewater
Resumo Os efluentes da suinocultura apresentam elevado teor de carga orgânica e de nutrientes, o que dificulta o seu tratamento. Dessa forma, as macrófitas aquáticas representam uma alternativa para a despoluição desses efluentes, devido ao alto poder de absorção que essas plantas possuem. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o desempen

11. Analysis of solar photovoltaic energy potential in Brazilian hydroelectric reservoirs through floating panels
Abstract Sustainability, a concept used to exploit natural resources without harming future generations, is being applied to power generation. In Brazil, the main source of electric energy comes from hydroelectric plants, due to abundant water resources. However, the implementation of these plants causes irreversible impacts on the environment and society.

12. Long-term behavior of mortars produced with sulfide-bearing aggregates
ABSTRACT The variety of sulfides (inorganic compounds formed by combining sulfur with a metal element) presented in earth crust is not small, which makes it difficult to avoid the use of sulfide-bearing aggregates in the concrete, especially in places where another source of material is non-existent or economically impracticable, as is the case of dams. With
