Geographic and Gender Diversity in the Brazilian Academy of Sciences [PDF]
Recent studies have shown that diversity in race and gender is important to improve competitiveness, creativity and innovation. However, many studies have shown that the universe of science is not diverse in none of these criteria. In this work, we quantify the gender and geographic diversity in the Brazilian science.

Changes in Nanoscale Porosity by Wet Pressing Pulps from Sugarcane Bagasse
Nanoscale porosity is critical for cellulose reactivity and can be detrimentally affected by wet pressing. The present study evaluated how wet pressing reduced the nanoscale porosity of a set of pulps produced from sugarcane bagasse.
