A deep understanding of the ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) over platinum surfaces may facilitate the use of ammonia as a carbon-free source for energy storage and conversion. Herein, using an unprecedented experimental approach of combining online electrochemical mass spectrometry (OLEMS) and ion chromatography (IC) with high-area Pt/C surfaces, many AOR products were simultaneously detected and the variation in AOR selectivity depending on the surface conditions was demonstrated. In the low-potential ...

Herpetic dermatitis and oral recurrent herpes (ORH) are among the most common human infections. Antiviral drugs such as acyclovir (ACV) are used in the standard treatment for ORH. Despite its therapeutic efficacy, ACV is continuously and repetitively administered in high doses. In this sense, the development of controlled release drug delivery systems such as core-shell fibers have a great potential in the treatment of ORH. In this work, poly(lactic acid)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA/PEG) fibers were ...

In particular, Ituna/Itatá IL, in the state of Pará, restricted to the study of Igarapé Ipiaçava isolated indigenous people, has experienced a 654% deforestation rate increase during the same period. The mainstream deforestation analysis explains it as a struggle between conservation and development, which is commonly typified by large-scale producers ...

As the reaction catalyzed by TPH2 is the rate-limiting step of serotonin biosynthesis, mutations in TPH2 have been associated with several psychiatric disorders (PD).
