, 2018 The brazilwood trade was the first major economic activity of colonial Brazil, but little research has examined the trade after the middle of the sixteenth century. This study describes the emergence of the trade and the subsequent changes that allowed it to overcome the commonly-cited reasons for its presumed decline within a century of its beginnings,

Light as an indicator of ecological succession in brazilwood (Caesalpinia echinata Lam.) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2009 The ecophysiological behavior of brazilwood (Caesalpinia echinata Lam.) plants was evaluated as affected by light quantity and quality. Nine-month-old plants were cultivated under 0%, 50%, and 80% artificial shading, and natural shading imposed by a closed canopy for a period of 392 days.

7. The Coloniality of Materiality: Brazilwood, or Unlearning with Anton de Kom in the Mauritshuis [PDF]
, 2023 In this article, Oscar Ekkelboom provides a critique of "materials" as a concept that is predicated on an extractivist practice that reinforces the logic of coloniality. Building on Anton de Kom's consideration of the wooden interior paneling of The Hague's Mauritshuis, Ekkelboom's decolonial approach opens up thinking about the afterlives of things in

Morphological and physiological adjustments of Brazilwood (Caesalpinia echinata Lam.) to direct solar radiation [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2012 This study aimed to characterize the alarm and resistance phases of stress of Caesalpinia echinata under intense irradiance in order to better define its position on forest succession. The alarm phase was identified by rapid reduction in the maximum quantum yield of PSII primary photochemical reactions (ΦP0 = FV/FM) and Performance Index (PIABS ...

Occurrence of Platypus mutatus Chapuis (Coleoptera: Platypodidae) in a brazilwood experimental plantation in Southeastern Brazil [PDF]
Neotropical Entomology, 2006 The hardwood of Caesalpinia echinata Lam. (brazilwood, Pernambuco, ibirapitanga) is currently the most profitable material used for violin bow due to the unique vibrational properties and dimensional stability. Although this species is resistant to the wood decay caused by termites and rot fungi, an experimental plantation in Southeastern Brazil has ...

Vegetative responses to temperature and photoperiod in saplings of brazilwood (Caesalpinia echinata Lam., Leguminosae) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2006 Caesalpinia echinata Lam. (brazilwood) is an endangered tree species occurring along the eastern coast of Brazil from latitudes 5°56´S to 22°56´S. With such a range of distribution it is expected that temperature and daylength may affect plant development, which was examined in this study.

Role of inflammasomes and neuroinflammation in epilepsy. [PDF]
Immunol RevSummary Epilepsy is a brain disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, which are brief episodes of abnormal electrical activity in the brain and involuntary movement that can lead to physical injury and loss of consciousness. Seizures are canonically accompanied by increased inflammatory cytokine production that promotes neuroinflammation, brain ...

Enhanced effect of combining bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) to promote recovery after spinal cord injury in mice. [PDF]
MedComm (2020), 2022 The combination of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) improved the functional recovery in SCI mice by decreasing glial scar area, promoting the expression levels of nutritional factors, enhancing neuron preservation and axonal regeneration, which may be achieved by modulating Wnt/β‐catenin signaling ...
