The Amazon rainforest is the largest tropical rainforest in the world. Amazonian Podzol soils, characteristic of this region, are known to store substantial amounts of organic carbon in both their surface and deep horizons. Despite decades of research, the molecular-level composition of ...

The growing impacts of climate change, combined with the environmental burden of global pollutants such as agricultural pesticides, have intensified the demand for sustainable and innovative technologies for their monitoring and mitigation. In this study, we introduce a low-cost, easy-to-fabricate,&#x...

The increasing atmospheric concentration of CO2 is a major contributor to global climate change, underscoring the urgent need for effective strategies to convert CO2 into value added products. In this sense, a composite was successfully synthesized by combining clinoptilolite zeolite (CZ) wi...

Este estudo investigou a produção de nanopartículas de hidroxiapatita a partir de escamas de peixe calcinadas em diferentes temperaturas (400, 600, 800 e 1000 °C), com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito da temperatura de calcinação na cristalinidade e sua influência na liberação de...

Abstract Background: Obesity in cats is a complex metabolic condition, and understanding its metabolic processes is e ssential for gaining new insights into nutrition. Hypothesis/Objectives: Investigate the effects of enzymatically-hydrolyzed poultry byproduct meal (EHPM-c) on the serum metabolomic p&...

The continuous increase in global energy consumption is primarily driven by the rapid expansion of urban areas and acccelerated industrialization. This has led to a need for the integration of renewable energy systems, aimed at enhancing sustainability, alongside the demand for more eff...

In semiarid regions, soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and soil organic matter (SOM) pools are often low due to limited biomass input and inadequate management. This study evaluated SOC stocks and SOM fractions in a forage cactus–sorghum intercropping system irrigated with treated sewage...

The widespread use of antibiotics has raised concerns about their residues in dairy products, meat, fish, and poultry, which can pose risks to human health and lead to substantial economic losses. Therefore, the rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective detection of low concentrations of var...

Gullies are erosive features developed through water erosion processes, which combine runoff and subsurface water flow, which can mobilize great volumes of soil and cause severe impacts to both rural and urban areas. The south of Minas Gerais (Brazil) has been affected by soil ...
