Improvement in the oxidative stability of microencapsulated linseed oil using carob protein hydrolysates and multilayer emulsions.

The microencapsulation of linseed oil in multilayer emulsions stabilized by carob protein hydrolysates was evaluated in this study. Linseed oil was emulsified in both multilayer and single layer interfacial emulsions using either carob protein concentrate or carob protein hydrolysate. The protein hydrolysate was able to increase the encapsulation efficiency by up to 12 % compared to non-hydrolyzed concentrated protein.

Endometrioid adenocarcinoma with sacral metastasis.

Most bone tumors are metastatic. Breasts, lungs, kidneys, and thyroid are the primary sites most commonly involved in bone metastasis-type outcomes. This case study describes the involvement of a patient with a bone tumor located in the axial skeleton, initially in the sacral region.

Addressing context dependence in studies of plant diversity to improve the understanding of natural enemy conservation.

Increasing plant diversity has become a major aspect of habitat management and natural enemy conservation. Nonetheless, the results of plant diversity studies have varied significantly within and across agroecosystems. This variation has often been ascribed to a condition known as context dependence.

The survival and flight capacity of commercial honeybees and endangered stingless bees are impaired by common agrochemicals.

The impact of agrochemicals on native Brazilian bees may be underestimated, since studies of non-target effects on bees have, by and large, concerned mostly the Apis mellifera L. Furthermore, bees may be exposed in the field to multiple agrochemicals through different routes, thus suggesting the necessity for more comprehensive toxicological experiments. Here, we assessed the lethal and sublethal toxicity of multiple agrochemicals (herbicide [glyphosate - Roundup], fungicide [mancozeb], insecticide [thiamethoxam]) through distinct routes of exposure (contact or ingestion) to an endangered native Brazilian bee Melipona (Michmelia) capixaba Moure & Camargo, 1994 and to A.
