Ora-pro-nobis leaves: a strategy for the shelf-life evaluation.

Cement sludge samples were submitted to wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WD-XRF) analysis; in view of the results obtained, the possible applications of this residue were evaluated.

Sample prepared at basic pH remained intact after immersion in water, proving the polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC's) formation by carboxymethylcellulose-chitosan complexation.

Ursolic acid derivatives reduce inflammatory mediators (nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)), and decrease the carrageenan paw edema.

The dextran sulfate-graft-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) is amphiphilic, stable, and non-cytotoxic. It forms nanoparticles spontaneously at temperatures close to that of the human body. It incorporates and releases a hydrophobic and extremely toxic drug, used in the treatment of cancer and rheumatoid arthritis, methotrexate, with potential targeting release due to the presence of dextran sulfate.

Ten novel dimeric Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts from ethylene glycol diacrylate are reported. Some of them exhibited an increase in anticancer activity and selectivity, compared to the respective monomeric adducts.

Photocatalysis is a useful tool for environmental remediation. Bentazon molecules can be decomposed into simpler substances by the action of the catalyst (Fe₂O₃-TiO₂) and sunlight (22,000 lux).

Molecular modeling studies from Cerrado plant.

Electronic band structure and plot of the local density of states for 2,6-dichloro-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone molecule interacting graphene in configuration most stable.

Adsorption geometries for tebuconazole on silver surface, in different hot spots, were proposed based on studies involving surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy.

Polystyrene waste, also known as white pollution, has been repurposed as support for silver nanocatalyst. Those nanofoams were able to convert p-nitrophenol into aminophenol under plasmonic excitation.

Schematic representation of the production of babassu mesocarp films loaded with Arrabidaea brachypoda leaf extract and controlled release assay at pH 7.4.

A new carboxylic acid and eight known compounds were isolated from co-culture of Saccharicola sp. and Botryosphaeria parva, an endophytic fungi in Eugenia jambolana.

Chiral ligands derived from (+)-camphor and (-)-fenchone for the addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes showed enantiomeric excess up to 96%.

Cyclic voltammetry was applied to investigate the influence of some organic and inorganic additives on cobalt electrowinning since it is an energy-intensive process and requires an industrially acceptable cobalt deposit production at low operating costs.
