Microbial consortia selection for the development of an innovative nature-based...

Air pollutants, like benzene, toluene, and xylene (BTX), pose significant health and environmental risks being associated with 6.7 million premature deaths annually. Despite plants natural air purification capabilities in green infrastructures, high pollution levels in cities can hinder urban greening when tolerance levels are exceeded.

Deployment characterization of a floatable tidal energy converter on a tidal ch...

This paper presents the results of a pilot experiment with an existing tidal energy converter (TEC), Evopod 1 kW floatable prototype, in a real test case scenario (Faro Channel, Ria Formosa, Portugal). A baseline marine geophysical, hydrodynamic and ecological study based on the experience collected on the test site is presented. The collected data was used to validate a hydro-morphodynamic model, allowing the ...

Interaction of fluorescence of resin cements with glass ceramics

"Introduction: In aesthetic rehabilitations, we must take into account the primary and secondary optical properties. Objectives: To evaluate the emission intensity of fluorescence between resin cement and glass-ceramic. Materials and Methods: two self-adhesive resin cements were used, as well as glass ceramic discs and composite resin. The ceramic cylinders were cut with a thickness of 1 and 0.5 millimeters and...
