Bacterial Exopolysaccharides as Reducing and/or Stabilizing Agents during Synthesis of Metal Nanoparticles with Biomedical Applications by Carlos Enrique Escárcega-González, Javier A. Garza-Cervantes, Augusto Vázquez-Rodríguez, José Rubén Morones-Ramírez

“…In this context, bacterial EPSs have been explored as agents to aid in a greener production of a myriad of metal nanoparticles, since they have the ability to reduce metal ions to form nanoparticles and stabilize them acting as capping agents. In addition, by incorporating EPS to the metal nanoparticles, the EPS confers them biocompatibility. …”

Guidance for Processing Reduced Oxygen Packaged (ROP) of Raw, Frozen Seafood in Retail Operations by Keith R. Schneider, Victor Garrido, W. Steve Otwell, Ray Mobley

“…Reduced oxygen packaging (ROP) can include vacuum packaging, and modified or controlled atmospheric packaging (MAP or CAP). These packaging methods can provide the benefit of protecting the product during frozen storage while providing attractive, easy to handle packages with odor control, but in certain circumstances it can also present anaerobic conditions that are favorable for growth and toxin production by a potentially lethal pathogen, Clostridium botulinum. …”

Translational Modulation of Proteins Expressed from Bicistronic Vectors by Prasun J. Mishra, Lata G. Menon, Pravin J. Mishra, Philipp Mayer-Kuckuk, Joseph R. Bertino, Debabrata Banerjee

“…Using rapamycin pretreatment followed by MTX treatment, we also devised a strategy to modulate levels of two proteins expressed from a bicistronic construct in a cap-independent manner. To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating that levels of proteins in DHFR-based bicistronic constructs can be induced and modulated using MTX and rapamycin treatment.…”

A pesquisa como ferramenta de ensino em sociologia: sentidos, obstáculos e potencialidades em livros didáticos e em práticas docentes by David Gonçalves Soares

“…From the exposure of the senses associated with it, the work analyzes the research proposals of two textbooks, as well as interpreting the interviews of teachers from a school considered excellent (CAp-UERJ). Among the results, the following can be highlighted: the difference between the most informative and the most systematic and methodological types of research, the apparent consensus regarding the importance of research in teaching sociology, and the polysemy in which the teachers identify the word “research”. …”

Convection initiation by Zahra Ghassabi, Hoshang Ghaemi, Ebrahim Mirzaei

“…The initiation of updrafts by warm air masses and the subsequent development of convection depend on parameters like vertical wind shear and the inversion cap of the environment, among others. Large-scale convective systems can be triggered with less forcing due to the significant uplift of the air mass from the surface to the convection level along the front.…”
