This thesis intends to show the level of pollutant emissions in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, generated by the final consumption of energy in the many different sectors of the economy. This information was obtained ...

Background: Cardiotoxicity is the major side effect of doxorubicin. As mechanisms that are involved in cardiotoxicity are ambiguous, new methods for attenuating cardiotoxicity are needed. Recent studies have shown that ...

This paper presents the numerical modeling of the thermo-energetic behavior of solar air heaters with a porous matrix to enhance the heat transfer from the absorber plate to the circulating air. The porous matrix was modeled ...

The time-keeping properties bestowed by oscillatory behavior on functional rhythms represent an evolutionarily conserved trait in living systems. Mitochondrial networks function as timekeepers maximizing energetic output ...

To understand the mechanisms involved in the control and regulation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, a two-compartment computational mitochondrial energetic-redox (ME-R) model accounting for energetic, ...

The global energy matrix is mainly concentrated in non-renewable sources, however, this scenario is constantly renewing, in the sense of making renewable sources as the main energy sources. Agricultural and forest biomass ...

The matrix metalloproteinase family (MMP) constitutes a family of zinc (Zn) proteases that catalyze the breaking of peptide bonds in proteins. These enzymes are very promising drug targets, since they are involved in ...
