Geraniol-a flavoring agent with multifunctional effects in protecting the gastric and duodenal mucosa
(Springer, 2014-04-01)
Geraniol is an acyclic monoterpene alcohol commonly used as a flavoring agent. The present study was undertaken to investigate antiulcerogenic effects of geraniol and to determine the possible mechanisms involved in this ...
Highlights in Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles as a Multifunctional Controlled Drug Delivery Nanoplatform for Infectious Diseases Treatment
(2020-10-01)
Infectious diseases are a major global concern being responsible for high morbidity and mortality mainly due to the development and enhancement of multidrug-resistant microorganisms exposing the fragility of medicines and ...
Multifunctional antitumor magnetite/chitosan-l-glutamic acid (core/shell) nanocomposites
(Springer, 2011-09-01)
The development of anticancer drug delivery systems based on biodegradable nanoparticles has been intended to maximize the localization of chemotherapy agents within tumor interstitium, along with negligible drug distribution ...
Improving butylhydroxytoluene activity with alternative secondary antioxidants: High synergistic effect in stabilizing biodiesel/diesel fuel blends in the presence of pro-oxidative metal
(2022-04-01)
We used butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) combined with citric acid (CA), ascorbic acid (AA), and alizarin (ALZ) to form multifunctional additives, which improves BHT activity and even lowers its concentration by half. As a result, ...
Albumin from erythrina edulis (Pajuro) as a promising source of multifunctional peptides
(MDPI, 2021)
Multifunctional peptides, capable of acting on different body systems through multiple
mechanisms of action, offer many advantages over monofunctional peptides, including lower adverse
side effects and costs. Erythrina ...
THE POLICY CYCLE APPROACH IN SPECIAL EDUCATION CONTEXT
(Univ Estadual Paulista Julio Mesquita Filho, Fac Ciencias & Tecnologia, 2015-05-01)
This paper takes a method of analysis entitled policy cycle suggested by both English researchers Stephen J. Ball and Richard Bowe and largely disclosed in Brazil by Jefferson Mainardes, who applies it in special education ...
Multifunctional EuYVO4 nanoparticles coated with mesoporous silica
(2016-11-01)
Mesoporous structures are interesting materials for the incorporation of dyes, drugs, and luminescent systems, leading to materials with important multifunctionalities. In a very unique way, these guest/host materials ...
NbCl5 a multifunctional reagent for the synthesis of new halogenated aminoquinoline compounds through innovative one-pot reaction and the acidochromism effect
(2018-10-18)
This paper describes an original one-pot way to synthesize nine new halogenated aminoquinoline derivatives using reactions conducted by niobium pentachloride. Subsequently, we describe an efficient and selective reduction ...
Structure and properties of epoxy-siloxane-silica nanocomposite coatings for corrosion protection
(2018-03-01)
Hypothesis The fraction of the silica/siloxane phase is a crucial parameter, which determines the structure and thus the properties of epoxy-siloxane-silica hybrid coatings. A careful adjustment of the colloidal precursor ...
Influence of reducing heat treatment on the structural and magnetic properties of MnO:ZnO ceramics
(2021-05-15)
Polycrystalline MnO:ZnO bulk ceramics with a Mn proportion of 6, 11, 17 and 22 at% are prepared through a solid-state reaction and subjected to a heat treatment in a reducing atmosphere (Ar (95%) and H2 (5%)). The samples ...
