The geomicrobiology of iron, cobalt, nickel and manganese in lateritic tropical soils from the Santa Elena Peninsula, Costa Rica
(2019)
There is an increasing interest in the biogeochemistry of metals, like cobalt, fuelled by the growing need for batteries and other high technology products. Bioprocessing of Co has been proposed to improve its recovery ...
Antimicrobial activity of different sodium and potassium salts of carboxylic acid against some common foodborne pathogens and spoilage-associated bacteria
Actividad antimicrobiana de diferentes sales de ácidos carboxílicos de sodio y potasio contra algunos microorganismos patógenos y de deterioro asociados a alimentos
(2018)
Cleaning and disinfection represent the most important activities associated with the elimination of dirt and microorganisms at food processing plants. Improper procedures may lead to cross contamination of food leading ...

(2022)
El proyecto se base en el desarrollo de cinco pilares para el desarrollo de una línea completa de acabados para madera a base de poliuretanos, toma en cuenta la investigación de mercado, desarrollo técnico, inscripicón ...
Estudio de la biocompatibilidad de hidroxiapatita y su posible aplicación como vehículo para sustancias bioactivas
(2014-12)
Las nanopartículas sintéticas se utilizan en aplicaciones médicas para el diagnóstico, la
prevención y el tratamiento de las enfermedades. Algunos de los usos más destacados de estos
biomateriales, a través de la ...
Light Reflection by Cuticles of Chrysina Jewel Scarabs: Optical Measurements, Morphology Characterization, and Theoretical Modeling
(2016)
Cuticles of some Chrysina scarabs are characterized by flat, graded, and twisted structures of nanosized chitin fibrils. As inferred from SEM images, each species has its own spatial period or pitch P which is dependent ...
Expanding the Trichoderma harzianum species complex: Three new species from Argentine natural and cultivated ecosystems
(2021-06-22)
A study was performed on a collection of 84 isolates from decaying plant tissues and soils in
Argentina previously identified as Trichoderma harzianum. Based on multiple phenotypic characters
and multilocus phylogenetic ...
Differential volatile organic compound expression in the interaction of Daldinia eschscholtzii and Mycena citricolor
(2023)
Fungi exhibit a wide range of ecological guilds, but those that live within the inner
tissues of plants (a.k.a. endophytes) are particularly relevant due to the benefits they
sometimes provide to their hosts, such as ...
Reactivity and structure of derivatives of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (lawsone)
(2007-11)
The structures of two derivatives of 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (lawsone) are examined using the density functional theory (DFT) hybrid functional B3LYP. Using the optimized structure of lawsone acetate, the reactivity ...
Evaluación de la capacidad del cemento Portland dopado con nanopartículas de TIO2 para la disminución de Pseudomonas aeruginosa y Escherichia coli en agua
(2022-10)
El abastecimiento de agua potable no es equitativo para la población mundial y este problema empeora debido al crecimiento poblacional, a la contaminación, al calentamiento global y a un inadecuado tratamiento de potabilización. ...
From Ideality to Simplicity: A Robust and Affordable Hydrogen Reference Electrode
(2020-02-01)
In electrochemistry, the concept of a reference electrode is fundamental. Introductory courses might mention the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), its working principle, and its theoretical design; however, chances are ...
