Estudo da utilização do bambu na composição do concreto by Carlos Maviael de Carvalho, Normando Perazzo Barboza, Ulisses Targino Bezerra, Tarciso Binoti Simas, Ana Clara Oliveira, Gustavo Magalhães

“…São avaliadas as resistências à compressão simples, à tração na flexão e por compressão diametral de concretos produzidos em laboratórios, com teores em peso de 0%, 0,5% e 1,0% de fibras. Os resultados indicam que o acréscimo no teor de fibras diminui a trabalhabilidade, bem como a facilidade de aplicação e de adensamento do concreto; no estado endurecido não houve alteração significativa na resistência à compressão aos 28 dias, porém pequeno decréscimo para idade de 63 dias; nos ensaios de resistência à tração as fibras mostraram boa interação com a matriz cimentícia. …”

Polysaccharide extract from Rosa laevigata fruit attenuates inflammatory obesity by targeting redox balance and gut interface in high-fat diet-fed rats by Xuejiao Zhang, Chenzhong Jin, Han Liu, Yihong Hu, Yunyun Zhou, Weiguo Wu, Si Qin

“…RNA-seq revealed that the effect of RLPs was partially attributed to its regulation on PPARs signaling by increasing the expressions of Scd, Acox3 and Hmgcs2, and on other redox-related pathways by decreasing the expressions of Cyp2e1, Il1-r1 and Lbp. Moreover, 16S rRNA sequencing coupled with metagenome sequencing showed that RLPs had significantly reduced the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes from 8.01 to 2.37, and significantly increased the relative abundances of Alistipes, Prevotella, and Akkermansia from 0.36 %, 1.10 % and 2.61 % to 0.65 %, 2.37 % and 4.42 %, respectively. …”

“…We report an extensive rotational spectroscopic analysis of singly deuterated methyl mercaptan (CH _2 DSH) using both millimeter and far-infrared synchrotron spectra to achieve a global torsional analysis of the three lowest torsional substates ( e _0 , e _1 , and o _1 ) of this nonrigid species. A fit including 3419 millimeter-wave transitions along with 43 infrared torsional subband centers was performed with rms deviations of 0.233 MHz and 0.270 cm ^−1 , respectively, resulting in 68 fit parameters. …”
