Consequently, understanding love and romantic jealousy points in the same adaptive functional domain of protecting a romantic pair bond.

By using a simple Sequential Injection Analysis (SIA) manifold and in base to the kinetic reaction of the molybdenum with As(V) and P(V) was possible to determine As(III), As(V) and P(V) in simple, binary and ternary samples. The activation energies for the reaction between molybdenum and As(V) and P(V) were of 70.90 kJ mol(-1) and of 19.
