Sustainable synthesis and optimisation of ethyl oleate from high oleic acid was...

Ethyl oleate (EO) is a versatile compound with several industrial applications, such as a vaccine adjuvant, an emollient in cosmetics, and a key component in food products as an additive used for pretreatment in preservation processes such as drying, while preserving valuable nutrients. Ethyl oleate is primarily synthesised from edible oils, which raises concerns regarding competition with food production. This...

Furry hosts and fungal guests: Investigating dermatophyte carriage in shelter a...

Dermatophytosis is a widespread fungal infection affecting both animals and humans, commonly known as ringworm. Dermatophytosis results in the breakdown of keratin, leading to skin, hair, and claw lesions, and has an important global prevalence that is often underestimated. While typically self-limiting, dermatophytosis can pose a severe risk due to its contagious nature, particularly in shelters. This study ai...

Trauma Injuries Associated with Rope Bullfights in the Azores: A Cross-Sectiona...

Introduction: The aim of the study was to describe trauma injuries associated with rope bullfights in the Azores, Portugal, regarding the cause of the incident, trauma mechanism, most affected anatomical areas, and injury severity.Methods: Two-year cross-sectional study in the local hospital with prospective data collection. Patients who were consecutively admitted to the local hospital’s emergency department w...

Microbial Interactions as a Sustainable Tool for Enhancing PGPR Antagonism agai...

Microbial interactions, which regulate the dynamics of eco- and agrosystems, can be harnessed to enhance antagonism against phytopathogenic fungi in agriculture. This study tests the hypothesis that plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can also be potential biological control agents (BCAs). Antifungal activity assays against potentially phytopathogenic fungi were caried out using cultures and cell-free f...

Multicriteria Decision-Making Approach for Optimum Site Selection for Off-Grid ...

Given the constraints associated with grid expansion costs, limited access to reliable electricity, and priorities in addressing the climate agenda and Sustainable Development Goals in low-income countries, microgrids and off-grid solar projects represent a viable solution for rural electrification. This type of solution has the advantage of being less expensive than conventional technologies, is rapidly scalab...

A Systematic Review of Optimization Approaches for the Integration of Electric ...

Electric vehicles (EVs) can provide important flexibility to the integration of local energy generation in buildings. Although most studies considering the integration of EVs and buildings are focused on residential buildings, the number of publications regarding large buildings, in particular, public buildings (PBs), has increased. However, the quantity of studies regarding the integration of EVs and PBs is st...
