Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising technology for the sustainable treatment of textile industry wastewater. This study investigates the development and performance of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) incorporating varying concentrations of graphene (0.25–3.00 wt%) for direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD). The membranes were characterized by SEM, AFM contact angle, porosity, and Zeta po...
Sternochetus mangiferae is a pest of mangoes, occurring worldwide in regions where mangoes are cultivated. In Brazil, this insect was first detected in 2014 in Seropédica, Rio de Janeiro, and since then, various measures and studies have been conducted to contain, monitor and potentially eradicate it. Semiochemicals may provide feasible targets to develop sensitive detection and monitoring tools. Therefore, this study aimed to...
Land use change threatens global biodiversity and compromises ecosystem functions, including pollination and food production. Reduced taxonomic α‐diversity is often reported under land use change, yet the impacts could be different at larger spatial scales (i.e., γ‐diversity), either due to reduced β‐diversity amplifying diversity loss or increased β‐diversity dampening diversity loss. Additionally, studies often focus on taxo...
Effects of post-exercise cold-water immersion on performance and perceptive outcomes of competitive adolescent swimmersNARA Subscribed
Purpose To evaluate the effects of repeated use of cold-water immersion (CWI) during a training week on performance and perceptive outcomes in competitive adolescent swimmers. Methods This randomized-crossover study included 20 athletes, who received each intervention [CWI (14 ± 1 °C), thermoneutral water immersion (TWI) (27 ± 1 °C) as placebo, and passive recovery (PAS)] three times a week between the land-based resistance tr...
Geography and ecology shape the phylogenetic composition of Amazonian tree communitiesNARA Subscribed
Aim Amazonia hosts more tree species from numerous evolutionary lineages, both young and ancient, than any other biogeographic region. Previous studies have shown that tree lineages colonized multiple edaphic environments and dispersed widely across Amazonia, leading to a hypothesis, which we test, that lineages should not be strongly associated with either geographic regions or edaphic forest types. Location Amazonia. Taxon A...
The secretome of adipose-derived stromal cells (ASC) is a heterogeneous mixture of components with a beneficial influence on cellular microenvironments. As such, it represents a cell-free alternative in regenerative medicine therapies. Pathophysiological conditions increase the therapeutic capacity of ASC and, with this, the benefits of the secretome. Such conditions can be partially mimicked in vitro by adjusting culturing co...
Purpose Evidence-based health communication campaigns can support tobacco control and address tobacco-related inequities among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ +) populations. Community organizations focused on LGBTQ + health (e.g., nonprofits, community centers, and community health centers) can be prime channels for delivering evidence-based health communication campaigns. However, it is unclear how to b...
