This critical review encompasses the analysis of studies from 2016 to 2023 that employ the Community Multiscale Air Quality Model (CMAQ) model for ozone simulation.

In this short review, we present how carbamates can be seen as "good guys" by their use in medicine (hope), or "bad guys", due to their misuse in pesticides and as chemical weapons (death).

The study investigated the distribution of arsenic and metals in a Brazilian tropical reservoir over time. Elevated element concentrations were found in specific water and sediment zones. The sediment core dated back to 1940 and showed increasing element concentrations, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring.

Simple prepared Fe₃O₄:RGO catalysts present high activity for indigo carmine dye photodegradation.

Pesticides extensively used in agriculture show a high potential for contaminating water bodies.

A composite material with magnetic and pH-responsive properties, consisting of chitosan/poly(2-diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate (Fe₃O₄/SiO₂/CS/PDPA) was developed for application in avermectins adsorption in aqueous medium.

Fatty acids composition indicates lower cost vegetable oils as major source of adulteration, and discriminatory analysis using volatile organic compounds (VOCs) showed the presence of adulterant markers in the extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).

Lipid images by desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI) of brains of Wistar rats submitted to total body irradiation (TBI).

Brazilian red propolis from different origins: chemical and mid-infrared spectroscopic characterizations and classification by chemometrics.

A new methodology employs microwave heating for interesterification reactions for biodiesel and triacetin production.

This graphic illustrates the optimization of a mixed juice formula resulting in an optimal blend with high antioxidant activity.

The Ugi multicomponent reaction (MCR) involves four components (aldehyde, amine, isocyanide, and carboxylic acid) to form bisamide. In this study, the reaction utilized a carbohydrate, an aromatic amine, a commercial copolymer, and tert-butyl isocyanide.

Molecularly imprinted polymers applied for the extraction of catechin from jaboticaba peel samples in a semi-automated analytical approach.

A virtual screening protocol to identify possible Trypanosoma cruzi sterol 14α-demethylase (TcCYP51) inhibitors from U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs using combined computational techniques.

Preparation of lignin/TiO₂ composites with Agave sisalana residue applied for bisphenol-A removal. The adsorbent can be used in six cycles, removing over 70% by the third cycle, which indicates good stability.

Dry reforming of methane converts CO₂ and CH₄ into syngas. The calcination at 700 °C results in titanate nanorods. Ni-TNR catalyst enhances CO₂ and CH₄ conversion with low carbon deposition.

Hydrogel films containing tannic acid (TA) were prepared and characterized by different techniques and the active release was investigated to obtain a suitable material to be applied in skin care routines.

Principal components analysis to determine the parameters impact on thionation by Lawesson's reagent and phosphonates.
