Trends in Fouling Resistant Membranes Containing Metals or Metallic Nanoparticles for the Separation of Oil-in-Water Emulsions.

Oil production entails the generation of large volumes of complex effluents that contain emulsified oil in water. Difficult to manage, the use of membrane separation processes (MSP) is an interesting option for the treatment of oily effluents, separating oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions with high efficiency. Modifying the surface of membranes with metals minimizes fouling, which is the main drawback of MSP.

Camera trap surveys of Atlantic Forest mammals: A data set for analyses considering imperfect detection (2004-2020).

Camera traps became the main observational method of a myriad of species over large areas. Data sets from camera traps can be used to describe the patterns and monitor the occupancy, abundance, and richness of wildlife, essential information for conservation in times of rapid climate and land-cover changes. Habitat loss and poaching are responsible for historical population losses of mammals in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity hotspot, especially for medium to large-sized species.

NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES: A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the Neotropics.

The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large-scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern limits in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. We compiled 185,787 distribution records, with unique georeferenced coordinates, for the 4225 species, represented by occurrence and abundance data.

Fouling mitigation in produced water treatment by conjugation of advanced oxidation process and microfiltration.

This work explored the use of ozonation and photoperoxidation before the microfiltration process to reduce fouling. Produced water was synthesized with salt, viscosifier, and surfactant. The additives influence on membrane fouling was evaluated.

Omega-3 multiple effects increasing glucocorticoid-induced muscle atrophy: autophagic, AMPK and UPS mechanisms.

Muscle atrophy occurs in many conditions, including use of glucocorticoids. N-3 (omega-3) is widely consumed due its healthy properties; however, concomitant use with glucocorticoids can increase its side effects. We evaluated the influences of N-3 on glucocorticoid atrophy considering IGF-1, Myostatin, MEK/ERK, AMPK pathways besides the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and autophagic/lysosomal systems.
