Antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts from Cydonia oblong leaves

The olive moth, Prays oleae (Bernard) (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae), is one of the most destructive pests of olive groves in the Mediterranean basin. In recent years, the interest in evaluating the economic importance of P. oleae has been increasing, being loss assessment essential to the development of integrated pest management programs (IPM). Reliable economic thresholds for the pest are associated to any IPM...

Separation of profens by chiral liquid chromatography: preliminary studies

Non-linear buckling analysis of composite columns made from high and normal str...

Composite structures made from the combination of steel profile and concrete have significant loadbearing capacity which depends on the behaviour of the two material components and their interaction, particularly in fire conditions. It is not possible to assess the fire resistance of composite members only by considering the temperature of the steel, because the presence of the concrete may contribute greatly t...

Removal of ethylbenzene and n-hexane from air streams by adsorption processes w...

The development of chemical engineering process technologies in recent years has led to an increase in the quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released into the atmosphere. Some of these VOCs such as ethylbenzene and n-hexane, in addition to being polluting, are found to be harmful to human health. Multiple techniques have been developed for the capture of these VOCs in ambient air. Adsorption proce...

Linking farmer and beekeeper preferences with ecological knowledge to improve c...

1. Pollination by insects is a key input into many crops, with managed honeybees often being hired to support pollination services. Despite substantial research into pollination management, no European studies have yet explored how and why farmers managed pollination services and few have explored why beekeepers use certain crops. 2. Using paired surveys of beekeepers and farmers in 10 European countries, this ...

O BEEHAPPY é um projeto financiado pela Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), é coordenado pelo CIMO e envolve uma equipa de 16 especialistas multidisciplinares provenientes de várias instituições nacionais (CIMO-Centro de Investigação de Montanha, REQUIMTE-Rede de Química e Tecnologia, CEDRI -Centro de Investigação em Digitalização e Robótica Inteligente) e estrangeiras (SLU-Swedish University of Agric...

Development of an intelligent agent for knowledge extraction in the pathogens i...

Scientific databases like the Pathogens in Foods (PIF) Database hold valuable public health data but are often inaccessible to experts lacking programming skills. This research addresses this gap by developing and evaluating a novel Visual Natural Language Interface (V-NLI) for the PIF database. The resulting PIF Intelligent Agent empowers users to perform complex queries, conduct meta-analyses, and generate dy...
