Socio-cultural interaction and symbolism in prehistoric South America: Quartz crystal manuports from Tierra del Fuego
(IntechOpen, 2019)
The use of mineral elements with special characteristics, such as quartz crystals, in ornamental or ceremonial contexts, is not uncommon in archaeology. Their appearance in different archaeological sites is the basis to ...
Applications of confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) in foods
(IntechOpen, 2013)
Much of the work in the area of physical properties of fats is aimed at determining the relationship among triglyceride structure, crystal properties, crystallization conditions, and macroscopic properties of fats. In ...
Characteristics and Applications of Bacterial Nanocellulose
(Central West Publishing, 2019)
There is an increasing demand for products made from renewable and sustainable non-petroleum based resources. Cellulose, the most abundant polymer on Earth, is renewable, biodegradable, as well as non-toxic. In nature, ...
Analyzing Chemoreceptor Interactions In Vivo with the Trifunctional Cross-Linker TMEA
(Humana Press, 2018)
Chemoreceptors are dimeric proteins that contain a periplasmic or extracellular domain for ligand binding and an extremely well-conserved cytoplasmic domain for output response control. This latter domain consists in a ...
Characterization and Biological Activity of Bacillus thuringiensis Isolates that Are Potentially Useful in Insect Pest Control
(IntechOpen, 2012)
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a spore-forming bacterium well-known for its insecticidal properties associated with its ability to produce crystal inclusions during sporulation. These inclusions are proteins encoded by cry ...
Chemical and physical deterioration of frozen foods
(Woodhead, 2010)
The basic principles of food freezing, including the properties of water and ice, the concepts of supercooling and glass transition, phase and state diagrams, ice formation mechanisms (nucleation and crystal growth), the ...
"Worlds of Work" during last Kirchnerism (2011-2015). The cases of CGT and CTEP
(Rowman & Littlefield International, 2019)
In this article, I will discuss the dynamics of the world of work during the period between 2011 and 2015, which ended with the electoral defeat of the Frente para la Victoria (FPV, Front for Victory), with the aim of ...
The Chemistry and Applications of Gem-Diols
(Nova Science Publishers, 2020)
Geminal diols or gem-diols are the product of the addition of water to a carbonyl group of either an aldehyde or a ketone. These compounds are rarely stable and seldom found in the liquid or solid state since the moisture ...
Liposomes: From the pioneers to Epigenetic Therapy
(Nova Science Publishers, 2017)
The nanoscience is the discipline that explains the behavior of systems at nanoscopicscale. The liposomes were one of the first nanostructures developed which were rapidlyapplied in different areas. These systems are ...
Synthesis, characterization and catalytic evaluation of tungstophosphoric acid immobilized on Y zeolite
(Taylor and Francis, 2014)
The degradation of chemicals present in wastes by heterogeneous photocatalysis is an important issue and its study is a constantly growing field. An increasing number of papers deal with TiO2 (titania) as one of the most ...
