Chemical and microbiological properties of an eutrophic Oxisol under riparian forest buffer reforestation and pasture. Propriedades químicas e microbiológicas de um Latossolo Vermelho eutrófico sob reflorestamento de mata ciliar e pastagem. [PDF]

Revista do Instituto Florestal, 2013
Regardless of their ecological importance, riparian forest strips are frequently suppressed to allow greater expansion of arable and urban areas. Agroforestry might be an effective alternative to recompose riparian forests.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Evaluation of Chlorella vulgaris biosorption capacity for phosphate and nitrate removal from wastewater

Scientific Reports
High wastewater production rates during the past few decades are mostly attributable to anthropogenic activities. The main components leading to the nutrient enrichment of natural water bodies are such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and other minerals.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Time for Science-Based National Targets for Environmental Sustainability: An Assessment of Existing Metrics and the ESGAP Framework

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Despite the overwhelming scientific evidence on the ongoing degradation of the environment, there is a clear gap between the urgency of the environmental crisis and the policy measures put in place to tackle it.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Integrated air quality index for Colombian cities

Revista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2013
In this work an integrated index is proposed using fuzzy logic which incorporates information on the two criteria pollutants of highest incidence on human health in Colombian cities, ozone (O3 ) and particulate matter with diameter less than 10 µm (PM10)

GEO-ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS IN STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum. Formatio Circumiectus, 2017
Obowiązkiem państw członkowskich Unii Europejskiej jest przeprowadzenie Strategicznej oceny oddziaływania na środowisko (SOOŚ) w celu wdrożenia zasad ochrony i kształtowania środowiska w ramach dokumentów strategicznych i polityk rozwojowych. Jak pokazuje praktyka, SOOŚ są często wykonywane w sposób opisowy i subiektywny, co utrudnia przeprowadzenie ...
