The effect of sunlight on the efficacy and persistence of an experimental tablet formulation based on Bacillus thuringiensis sorovar. israelensis (C4P1) was evaluated against Aedes aegypti larvae under simulated field conditions. The initial mortality ranged from 93 to 100%, and the residual activity ( > or = 70% mortality) recorded in containers exposed to sunlight or shade were, respectively, 13-35 days and 40-54 days. The results suggest that C4P1 can provide long-term larvicidal effect and operational ...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which has a high mortality rate and transmissibility. In this context, medicinal plants have attracted attention due to the wide availability and variety of therapeutic compounds, such as alkaloids, a vast class with several proven pharmacological effects, like the antiviral and anti-inflammatory activities. Therefore, this scoping review aimed to summarize the current knowledge of the potential ...

This work deals with developing feasible valorization technologies to prepare carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from plastic solid waste and demonstrate their application in catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO). CNTs were synthesized by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) at 850 ºC, considering low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and polypropylene (PP) as carbon precursors representative of urban plastic solid waste. Iron oxide nanoparticles supported in alumina, previously ...

Algae and seaweeds are used in cookery since the beginnings of human civilization, particularly in several Asian cultures. Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites produced by aquatic and terrestrial plants for their natural defense against external stimuli, which possess powerful antimicrobial and antioxidant properties that can be very important for the food industry. The main objective of this study was to develop a whey protein concentrate active coating, incorporated with a Fucus vesiculosus ...

In many regions across the planet, flood events are now more frequent and intense because of climate change and improper land use, resulting in risks to the population. However, the procedures to accurately determine the areas at risk in regions influenced by inadequate land uses are still inefficient. In rural watersheds, inadequate uses occur when actual uses deviate from land capability, and are termed environmental land use conflicts. To overcome the difficulty to evaluate flood vulnerability ...

Human activities have a considerable impact on hydrographic systems and fish fauna. The present review on conservation genetics of neotropical freshwater fish reveals that DNA analyses have been promoting increased knowledge on the genetic structure of fish species and their response to environmental changes. This knowledge is fundamental to the management of wild fish populations and the establishment of Evolutionary Significant Units capable of conserving genetic integrity. While population structuring ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of soybean soaking on grain properties and isoflavone loss in order to find suitable conditions for this step of soybean processing. A moisture content of 120% (dry basis) was achieved by soaking the soybeans at 55 °C and 70 °C for 3 and 2 h, respectively. Soybeans soaked at temperatures above 25 °C showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) in hardness after 1 h of soaking. The contents of total isoflavones and soluble proteins were better preserved ...

The quality of groundwater was evaluated in a rural watershed of northern Portugal (River Sordo basin) where environmental land use conflicts have developed in the course of a progressive invasion of forest and pasture lands by agriculture, especially by vineyards. The selected groundwater quality parameters were the concentrations of sodium, calcium, bicarbonate, chloride and nitrates, derived from natural and anthropogenic sources. The environmental land use conflicts were revealed by the coupling ...

Soil vulnerability and environmental land use conflicts were quantified and cross tabulated in the Sordo River basin (Trás-os-Montes Province, NE Portugal) to provide insights about the risk of soil degradation within that basin. Soil vulnerability was assessed by algorithms of multi criteria analysis and weighted linear combination, whereas environmental land use conflicts were described by an original approach. Three vulnerability scenarios were considered, enhancing the importance of topographic ...

The objective of this work was to optimise the conditions for the soaking process of soybean for maximal conversion of β-glucoside isoflavones into aglycones using response surface methodology. The investigated variables were the time (3, 4, 6, 8, and 9 h) and temperature (41, 45, 55, 65, and 69 °C ± 1 °C) for the soaking of soybean in 1:1.5 (g:g) ratio with a buffer solution pH 6. The maximum aglycones content (1.22 μmol g−1) in soaked soybeans was estimated and validated at 55 °C ± 1 °C and 6 h of soaking. ...

A simplex-centroid design comprising three solvents (water, ethanol and methanol) was used to optimise the extraction mixture for phenolics and antioxidant activities from defatted soy flour fermented with Monascus purpureus or Aspergillus oryzae. Total phenolics were more efficiently extracted using only water for both samples. The highest antioxidant activities by the DPPH and ABTS methods were obtained using extraction mixtures containing at least 75 wt% water. Specific water:ethanol:methanol ...

The vulnerability of a fractured aquifer was quantified in the River Sordo basin (northeast Portugal) to check the risk of groundwater contamination in that watershed. Vulnerability was evaluated by Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) and compared with DRASTIC results. MCA revealed a predominance of electrical conductivity, sulphate and copper as indicators of aquifer vulnerability. DRASTIC showed the highest vulnerabilities in areas covered by alluvium and where granites and metassediments come into contact. ...

In the Uberaba River basin (state of Minas Gerais, Brazil), pastures for livestock production have invaded areas of native vegetation (Cerrado biome), while already existing pastures were invaded by crop agriculture, with an expansion of sugar cane plantations in the most recent years. In some areas of the basin, these land use changes were classified as environmental land use conflicts because the new uses were not conforming to land capability, i.e. the soil's natural use. Where the areas in conflict ...

The aim of this work was to investigate the convective drying of okara, a by-product from soymilk processing. The specific objectives were as follows: to model the drying kinetics using the Fick and Page models; and to evaluate the color and isoflavone content during drying. An oven-dryer with hot air circulation at 50, 60 and 70 °C was used. Samples were taken at each predetermined time to analyze the isoflavone profile by UHPLC and the color. The Page model fitted the drying kinetics data well. ...

There is currently some controversy in the scientific community regarding the efficiency of the water–rock interaction process in the contamination of radon in groundwater. In this study, some difficulties were found in the sampling phase. Many of the water collection points are used for human consumption. As such, some municipalities did not want to collaborate. When this natural contaminant is undetectable to the human sense and may cause pulmonary neoplasms in the long term, it is difficult to ...
