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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Fungi with history: Unveiling the mycobiota of historic documents of Costa Rica
(2022-06-12)
Through nondestructive techniques, we studied the physicochemical characteristics and mycobiota of five key historic documents from Costa Rica, including the Independence Act of Costa Rica from 1821. We determined that for ...
Neutral organic redox pairs based on sterically hindered hydroquinone/benzoquinone derivatives for dye-sensitized solar cells
(2018-06)
Substituted derivatives of hydroquinone/benzoquinone were studied as organic redox mediators in the electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Thus, di-tert-butylhydroquinone (DTHQ), thymohydroquinone (ThymHQ) and ...
Effect on cell growth, viability and migration of geraniol and geraniol-containing essential oil from Lippia alba (Verbenaceae) on gastric carcinoma cells
(2021)
Natural products used to treat cancer, or as leads for the development of preventive and co-adjuvant treatment strategies, are still a current approach. We studied the effect of essential oils
from the medicinal plant ...
Naphthalenones and Isocoumarins from a Costa Rican Fungus Xylariaceae sp. CR1546C
(2014)
A new naphthalenone, (R)-4,6,8-trihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalenone and a new isocoumarin, 6,8-dihydroxy-(3R)-(2-oxopropyl)-3,4-dihydroisocoumarin, together with eight related known compounds were isolated from the ...
Grids III: Hydrogen Bridges in Introductory Chemistry
Cuadrículas III: Puentes de Hidrógeno en Química General
(2021)
Based on IUPAC recommendations for the
definition of the hydrogen bond, a series of
grids is presented to provide instructors of
introductory chemistry courses with visual
examples of H-bridged systems. The grids ...
Desarrollo de sensores electroquímicos para la determinación de drogas sintéticas en fluidos biológicos y muestras de incautación
(2023-07-09)
La cantidad de nuevas sustancias psicoactivas, popularmente conocidas con términos como: drogas emergentes, drogas de diseño, drogas sintéticas o drogas recreativas, aumenta en el mercado global de las drogas cada año. El ...
