Selection of promising bacteria-bacteria and bacteria-fungus co-cultures for further chemical studies using contact and distance assays.

The production of ethanol from the use of lignocellulosic materials is already a reality, however the study of new microorganisms capable of fermenting sugars with five carbons is essential for improving the fermentative conditions of the processes.

Practical chromatographic method for the identification of glycerol oxidation products using high-performance liquid chromatography with refractive index detection.

Phenolic compounds, antioxidants and minerals content in leaves of Morus nigra L.

Most likely way of binding on the niobia surface of HPW catalysts supported on niobia, calcinated at 500 and 600 °C, according to theoretical calculations.

In this work, the novel organotin-based catalysts was prepared by triphenyltin chloride (Ph3ClSn) and tin(IV) chloride (SnCl4) and utilized in the acetylene hydro chlorination.

Grease is usually constituted by 85% lubricating fluid, 10% thickener and 5% additives. This work aims to study the thermal behavior of perfluoropolyether (PFPE) as a synthetic lubricant by thermal analysis and computer simulation.

Distinct substrates can be successfully biotransformed by the Brazilian endophytic fungi conducting to wide chemodiversity.

Superhydrophobic silicon surfaces with water contact angle larger than 150° and sliding angle less than 10° have been successfully fabricated by electrochemical etching strategy. Squarelike hole arrays with controllable geometries, especially controllable hole width and depth were formed on silicon. The relatively stable superhydrophobic silicon exhibited good self-cleaning and water-proofing properties in air and oil.

Malvaviscus arboreus as an efficient corrosion green inhibitor to carbon steel.

Supervised chemistry teacher internships can occur at different kinds of educational spaces, representing education modalities between school/non-school and unsystematic/systematized dimensions.

In Part 1, a review of hybrid atomic orbitals is provided and a critique of their use in undergraduate organic chemistry education is introduced.

In Part 2, a review of the use of hybrid atomic orbitals in organic chemistry is provided and further critiques of their use in teaching are included. A pedagogical alternative to hybridization, which is observable, free from interpretation and consistent with experiments is presented.
