Segunda opinião formativa: qual importância da hidratação para os casos com arboviroses, mesmo que não apresentem diarreia e vômito?
A Hidratação é recomendada para pacientes com suspeita de dengue, chikungunya e zika (arboviroses) com a finalidade de prevenir o surgimento de desidratação e ajudar na recuperação do paciente.1. ed
Microkinetic analysis of ethanol to 1,3-butadiene reactions over MgO-SiO 2 catalysts based on characterization of experimental fluctuations
Microkinetic analysis of ethanol to 1,3-butadiene reactions over MgO-SiO2 catalysts was performed based on the detailed characterization of experimental fluctuations, taking into account the influence of the reaction temperature and catalyst properties on ethanol conversion and product selectivities. The obtained results show that both reaction temperature and catalysts properties affected experimental fluctuations significantly. The local microkinetic information contained in the covariance matrix of experimental fluctuations indicated the change of the rate-limiting step as reaction temperature increased: from 300 to 400 °C, the rate-limiting step was identified as the acetaldehyde condensation, while at 450 °C, ethanol dehydrogenation step limits the 1,3-butadiene production
Disponibilizando séries temporais de índices vegetativos em aplicações cliente a partir da API SATVeg.
Resumo. As séries temporais de dados multiespectrais do sensor MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) permitem gerar perfis temporais de índices vegetativos para realização de análises. O Sistema de Análise Temporal da Vegetação (SATVeg), desenvolvido pela Embrapa Informática Agropecuária, permite ao usuário final gerar esses perfis utilizando diferentes parâmetros, pré-filtros e filtros. A API SATVeg foi desenvolvida e incorporada à plataforma de APIs da Embrapa (AgroAPI) com o intuito de disponibilizar os dados fornecidos pelo SATVeg em um formato passível de ser utilizado por empresas que desejam incorporar esses dados em seus sistemas proprietários e agregar valor ao seu produto final.bitstream/item/219027/1/Com134-2020.pd
Understanding the interactions of imidazolium-based ionic liquids with cell membrane models
Cell membrane models have been used to evaluate the interactions of various imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) with Langmuir monolayers of two types of phospholipids and cholesterol. Data from surface pressure isotherms, Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) and polarization-modulated infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) pointed to significant effects on the monolayers of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and cholesterol, used to mimic the membranes of eukaryotic cells, for ILs containing more than 6 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain (i.e. n > 6). For ILs with less hydrophobic tails (n ≤ 6) and low concentrations, the effects were almost negligible, therefore, such ILs should not be toxic to eukaryotic cells. The hydrophobicity of the anion was also proved to be relevant, with larger impact from ILs containing tetrafluoroborate ([BF4]-) than chloride (Cl-). Molecular dynamics simulations for DPPC monolayers at the surface of aqueous solutions of alkylimidazolium chloride ([Cnmim]Cl) confirm the penetration of the IL cations with longer alkyl chains into the phospholid monolayer and provide information on their location and orientation within the monolayer. For monolayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidyl glycerol (DPPG), which is negatively charged like bacteria cell membranes, the ILs induced much larger effects. Similarly to the results for DPPC and cholesterol, effects increased with the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and with a more hydrophobic anion [BF4]-. Overall, the approach used can provide relevant information of molecular-level interactions behind the toxicity mechanisms and support the design of (quantitative) structure-activity relationship models, which may help design more efficient and environmentally friendly ILs.publishe

Characterization of TiO2 nanoparticles in langmuir-blodgett films
In this work we have synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles, using either a sol–gel base catalysed process in the interior of CTAB reversed micelles (TiO2 CTAB sol), or the
neutralization of a TiO2/H2SO4 solution in the interior of AOT reversed micelles. From the absorption and emission data of the TiO2 nanoparticles it is possible to conclude that
in the sol–gel route there remains alkoxide groups in the structure, originating transitions lower than the energy gap of TiO2 semiconductor. These transitions disappear in the neutralization procedure, where the alkoxide groups are absent in the structure. We have assigned the observed indirect
and direct optical transitions according to the anatase band structure. TiO2 Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films were prepared either by direct deposition of titanium isopropoxide or by deposition of the TiO2 CTAB sol. These films showed photoluminescence, which was attributed to band-gap emission and to surface recombination of defect states
