Protein Surface Interactions—Theoretical and Experimental Studies
(2021-07-09)
In this review, we briefly describe a theoretical discussion of protein folding, presenting the relative contribution of the hydrophobic effect versus the stabilization of proteins via direct surface forces that sometimes ...
Impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on the wastewater pathway into surface water: A review
(2021-06-20)
With global number of cases 106 million and death toll surpassing 2.3 million as of mid-February 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic is certainly one of the major threats that humankind have faced in modern history. As the scientific ...
Recent advances and perspectives in liposomes for cutaneous drug delivery
(2018-02-01)
The cutaneous route is attractive for the delivery of drugs in the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. However the stratum corneum (SC) is an effective barrier that hampers skin penetration. Within this context, ...
Estudo dos mecanismos da síntese de metanol via reação de hidrogenação do CO2 sobre catalisadores à base de cobre
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarCâmpus São CarlosEngenharia Química - EQ, 2021-11-17)
The use of CO2 as a carbon source in the production of more complex molecules with high added value is a topic that has been gaining ground in academia as the relationship between climate change and the increase in the ...
Fungal biofilms and polymicrobial diseases
(2017-06-01)
Biofilm formation is an important virulence factor for pathogenic fungi. Both yeasts and filamentous fungi can adhere to biotic and abiotic surfaces, developing into highly organized communities that are resistant to ...
Rhizobial Exopolysaccharides and Type VI Secretion Systems: A Promising Way to Improve Nitrogen Acquisition by Legumes
(2021-07-05)
At present, there are numerous examples in which symbiotic nitrogen fixation by rhizobia can totally replace the use of nitrogen fertilizers in legume crops. Over the years, there has been a great effort by research ...

(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarCâmpus São CarlosEngenharia Química - EQ, 2019-06-17)
Petroleum and its derivatives are of prime importance in the development of modern human activities, as evidenced, for instance, by their strong participation in the world energy matrix. However, the non-renewable nature ...
Perfil de invasión de un surfactante aniónico en procesos de recobro mejorado
(Medellín - Minas - Maestría en Ingeniería - Ingeniería de PetróleosDepartamento de Procesos y EnergíaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Medellín, 2019-11-22)
The retention of surfactant in the porous medium is one of the factors that affect the development of an EOR process because the greater amount of the surfactant remains in the vicinity of the face of the well preventing ...
Desarrollo de una emulsión W/O para un agente biocontrolador Bacillus velezensis UA2208
(Medellín - Ciencias - Maestría en Ciencias - BiotecnologíaEscuela de biocienciasUniversidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Medellín, 2020)
The success of the strategies used for biological control depends mainly on the antagonistic activity of the microorganism and the type of formulation in which it is incorporated for soil foliar application. However, in ...
Continental-scale patterns and climatic drivers of fruiting phenology: A quantitative Neotropical review
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-01-01)
Changes in the life cycle of organisms (i.e. phenology) are one of the most widely used early-warning indicators of climate change, yet this remains poorly understood throughout the tropics. We exhaustively reviewed any ...
