The figure shows sugarcane, raw material for ethanol production, exposed to different environmental conditions in Brazilian crop areas. Composed of 70% water, this plant was the key in this work to investigate the influence of seasonal and regional variations in source water isotopic patterns and their influence on ethanol's isotopic ratios, aiming at discrimination of geographical origin. Details are presented in the Article Mapping Ethanol Production Sources in Brazil Through Stable Isotopes by Gilson C. Silva, Marcelo Z. Moreira, Arthur L. Scofield, José M. O. Godoy, Lilian F. Almeida, Angela L. R. Wagener on page 1283.

Cu(II) stearate complex was synthesized by the slow-release of Cu2+ ion from the electrochemical oxidation of a Cu anode with stearic acid. Different values of applied voltages (1, 5 and 10 V) were used during the synthesis to study the effect of applied voltage on the particle size and morphology of the complex.

The liquid chromatography-time of flight/mass spectrometry (LC-TOF/MS) method was developed and validated to quantify and monitor pharmaceuticals water samples. Ten pharmaceuticals were detected in water samples (surface water, sewage treatment plants and hospital waste) by using LC-TOF/MS instrument.

The model of bidentate binding was employed to describe equilibria of metal chlorides adsorption by silica with grafted 1-n-propyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride. The model takes into account the fixation of metal species as tri- and tetrachlorometallate anions detained near the surface as counterions and also the dissociation and auto-complexation equilibria of metal chlorides in solutions.

The solvent terminated-auxiliary solvent-dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (ST-AS-DLLME) technique was combined with microvolume UV-Vis spectrophotometry avoiding centrifugation and simplifying the operation. The extraction optimization was performed based on design of experiment (DOE) methods.

Chlorobenzoic acids are persistent pollutants in the environment, adversely affecting the flora and fauna. In this work, the photocatalytic decomposition of 2-, 3- and 4- chlorobenzoic acids with TiO2 loaded on HZSM-11 zeolite was investigated. We report the use of zeolite-supported TiO2, which can be easily removed and is a very efficient and reusable photocatalyst.

Antibacterial classification functions based on the topological molecular computer design-computer aided ''rational'' drug design (TOMOCOMD-CARDD) bilinear indices are presented. These models were built using the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) method over compounds dataset of 2230 molecular structures.

Cocaine samples seized in Brazilian Federal District between 2010 and 2013 were analyzed by the Federal Police chemical profiling program (PeQui project). Cocaine purity, degree of oxidation and pharmaceutical products used as cutting agents were determined by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) analysis. A new adulterant was identified and routinely quantified (aminopyrine) and a mass balance approach was discussed.
