Water-induced modifications in the physicochemical and structural properties of...

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have attracted considerable attention as sustainable alternative solvents in a wide range of applications. A key property of these mixtures is their viscosity, which can, for some systems, be too high for practical applications. Adding water lowers the viscosity by replacing hydrogen bonds between the components, with those involving water. Thus, a key factor in various application...

Ethos of writing: Eduardo Lourenço’s essayistic liminality

This essay focuses on Eduardo Lourenço’s thought as a fragmentary expression resulting from an “in-between”, which is formulated early on in his work as a kind of oscillatory state: between disciplinary strongholds; between writing styles and conventions; between Philosophy and Literature. The suspensive effect of this “being between” is proposed here as one of Eduardo Lourenço’s philosophical signatures, in a ...

The «crystal house». (Re)considering Eduardo Lourenço from an educational persp...

In a brief and fleeting reflection on education, Eduardo Lourenço imagines the school as a «crystal house». In its fragility, as in its transparency, the school is a social mirror and a political-cultural project, whose foundations are under permanent shackling, to the point that they have incorporated this shackling into their very definition. This reflection aims to reconsider Eduardo Lourenço’s writing throu...

Green approach for obtaining bioactive compounds from Pterocaulon polystachyum ...

A green approach for the extraction of bioactive compounds from Pterocaulon polystachyum was studied. The extraction process was optimized regarding time, temperature, solid/liquid ratio and technique, either ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) or heating and stirring. Eleven deep eutectic solvents (DES) based on choline chloride, menthol and betaine were evaluated to identify the most effective solvent to ext...

A Perspective Towards More Sustainable Production of Biotechnologically Relevan...

The production of enzymes by the biotechnology industry yields high-value products for various sectors, including the pharmaceutical, food, textile, and detergent industries. Although enzymatic production processes are well established, there is a limitation with the purification of intracellular enzymes. These enzymes require extensive downstream separation and purification processes, adding significant labor ...

Managing Data in Screening Programs: Challenges and Solutions

Population-based screening programs are vital public health initiatives that enable the early detection of diseases, significantly reducing both morbidity and healthcare costs. As these programs expand, the management of the extensive data they generate becomes increasingly complex, highlighting the need for structured digital solutions. This narrative review article presents a pragmatic framework aimed at clar...

A «casa de cristal»:(re)considerar Eduardo Lourenço de uma perspetiva educativa

In its fragility, as in its transparency, the school is a social mirror and a political-cultural project, whose foundations are under permanent shackling, to the point that they have incorporated this shackling into their very definition.

Monitoring Arthropods in maize and pasture fields in São Miguel and São Jorge I...

ABSTRACT: The dataset presented here is an achievement of the H2020 European project "Integrated Pest Management of the Invasive Japanese Beetle, Popillia japonica (IPM-Popillia)". This project addresses the challenge of a new risk to plant health in Europe, the invasion of the Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica (Newman, 1838) (Coleoptera, Rutelidae) and provides an environmentally friendly IPM Toolbox to contr...
