Neurotransmitters (NTs) are molecules produced by neurons that act as the body’s chemical messengers. Their abnormal levels in the human system have been associated with many disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, which makes the monitoring of NTs fundamentally important. Specifically for clin...

The promising application of MXenes in energy storage-based solutions is seriously afected by stacking processes that reduce available active sites for charge accumulation. Incorporating MXene into biopolymer templates represents a promising strategy to avoid aggregation of active electrochemical compounds...

Abstract: The 2024 Zurich perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) summit reiterated the urgent need for non-selective analytical approaches for PFC detection. 19F NMR holds great potential, however, sensitivity limitations lead to long analysis times and/or the possibility of not detecting low concentrat...

Postharvest fungal diseases caused by Colletotrichum, Rhizopus, and Penicillium are major concerns, driving the search for sustainable antimicrobial alternatives to enhance food shelf life. This study examines the chemical composition of essential oils (EO) from Origanum vulgare, Syzygium aromaticum, ...

A incompatibilidade entre as fibras de sisal e a matriz cimentícia pode representar um desafio na produção do fibrocimento. Para contornar esta situação, a combinação de aditivos pode ser utilizada para melhorar a interação entre a fibra e a matriz, promovendo uma adesão mais ...

Simple Summary: Diet plays a crucial role in the health of dogs, and researchers are constantly exploring ways to improve nutrition through dietary supplements. This study investigated how beta-1,3/1,6-glucans, a nutraceutical known for its potential immune and gut health benefits, affect&#x...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for dynamic pattern recognition and classification of one dangerous caterpillar species to allow for its control in maize crops. The use of dynamic pattern recognition supports the identification of patterns in digital image data that change over&#...

Cardboard has been widely used in various applications and industry sectors, such as in civil construction as a formwork for concreting circular columns. In addition to the versatility of the product, a vast amount of waste is generated by the manufacturing process. The objective&#...

Multifunctional membranes applied to biomedical materials become attractive to support the biological agents and increase their properties. In this study, biopolymeric bers based on polycaprolactone (PCL) and pectin (PEC) were reinforced with faujasite zeolite (FAU) for cloxacillin antibiotic (CLX) l...
