- Abstract:
- ... Lippia alba (Mill.) N.E.Br. ex Britton & P. Wilson is traditionally used in Brazil as an adjunct in the relief of mild anxiety, as an antispasmodic, and as an antidyspeptic. This medicinal species was included in the Phytotherapeutic Form of the Brazilian Pharmacopeia 2nd edition (2021) and has already been described as the most used medicinal plant in a study with patients from an Anticoagulation ...

- Abstract:
- ... Brazil is the second-largest importer, after the United States, of extra-virgin olive oils with an internal production that just reaches 0.25 % of the volume imported and consumed. Information about diagnostic chemical signatures characterizing Brazilian oils is lacking, especially as related to geographical markers and key-aroma compounds distribution. This study fills this gap; by comprehensive ...

Several approaches to assess the authenticity of food products have been developed, given that fraudulent products may impact consumers' confidence, affect commercial trades and lead to health risks. This paper proposes an approach to identify the chemical elements that optimally discriminate rice samples according to their producing region in the South of Brazil, the largest rice producer outside ...

- Abstract:
- ... Nowadays, the use of pesticides in world agriculture is fundamental. However, it leads to an increase in the illegal sale and smuggling of these products in various parts of the world, mainly in Brazil. Therefore, the development of new analytical methods for screening and analysis of these kind of substances is a relevant issue. We present in this work, for the first time, an electrochemical stud ...

- Abstract:
- ... Droughts are one of the most devastating natural disasters. Droughts can co-exist in different forms (e.g. meteorological, hydrological, and agricultural) as concurrent droughts. Such concurrent droughts can have far reaching implications for crop yield and global food security. The present study aims to assess global concurrent drought traits and their effects on maize yield under climate change. ...

- Abstract:
- ... In high-yield irrigated rice systems, options for legume cover crops with the capacity for biological nitrogen (N) fixation in the period between harvest have been sought. However, options are limited due to excess water and low oxygen level in the soil. The persian clover (Trifolium resupinatum) is an exception as it is a promising species due to its adaptation to waterlogged soils. Thus, the obj ...

BaCV was experimentally transmitted by Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 to common bean, cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), and soybean (Glycine max), but natural infection has been documented only in common bean. Therefore, we investigated the occurrence of BaCV in 123 soybean plants collected in five Brazilian states by ...

Camera traps are an effective non‐invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales of time and space. In this study, we organized and standardize ...

The potential effects of climate change plus the expansion of eucalypt plantations to less favorable sites, beyond those where they are currently planted, requires exploring novel eucalypt germplasm to identify taxa less vulnerable to biotic and abiotic stress. To improve plant adaptation to new environments, the first step is breeding programs and/or forming base populations of new and different ...

Soybean production in Brazil is concentrated in the central and southern regions of the country, although expansion is occurring toward the northeast, where semi-arid conditions are predominant. There is little information on the behavior of soybean cultivars in semiarid climates; therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the interaction of soybean genotypes by environment, adaptabili ...

However, there is no method described for the microbiological quality control of surface disinfectants in the form of gel, which makes it impossible to monitor the effectiveness of these products by the Health Surveillance. Thus, the present study aimed to adapt an analytical ...

This study investigates the perception of the air pollution as assessed by individuals located in ten countries: Australia, Brazil, China, Ghana, India, Iran, Italy, Norway, South Africa and the USA. The perceptions ...

- Abstract:
- ... Air pollution is one of the main environmental problems in the metropolitan area of São Paulo (MASP) in Brazil, with frequent exceedances of air quality standards. Occasionally, the exceedance events last many days, resulting in continuous exposure to concentrations above the standards, with impacts to human health. In this air pollution long-term study, a method was developed to identify persiste ...

The literature on the effects of air pollution outside schools on cognitive outcomes (e.g., cognitive development, working memory, and academic performance) is still limited. Most of the studies are from high-income countries. In this paper, we pe ...
