Investigating the Detachment of Glazed Ceramic Tiles Used in Buildings: A Brazilian Case Study.

Ceramic detachments in cladding systems are indicative of adhesion loss between the ceramic tiles and the substrate or its adhesive mortar due to inadequate quality workmanship, the quality of the adhesive mortar or that of the ceramic material, whether acting simultaneously or not. The shear stresses resulting from the ceramic tiles' expansion due to humidity accelerate this process. There is a shortage of studies on the quality of ceramic tiles and adhesive mortars.

Metabolic signatures by LC-HRMS/MS of jabuticaba (Plinia cauliflora) juice, liqueur, and wines reveal the wealthiest sources of bioactive metabolites.

This study aimed to determine the total phenolic content, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and metabolomic profiling of Jabuticaba beverages. The metabolomic profiling showed a greater abundance of flavonoids in liqueur samples, while sweet wine predominantly contained phenolic acids. On the other hand, dry wine was characterized by a higher abundance of terpenes.

Bacillus subtilis inoculated in organic compost could improve the root architecture and physiology of soybean under water deficit.

Bacillus subtilis is known to promote root growth and improve plant physiology, while organic compost enhances soil water retention. This study explored the combined effect of inoculating B. subtilis in organic compost on soybean growth under water deficit.

Mixture of auxinic herbicides for the control of spp. and its phytotoxic effects on soybean sown in sequence.

The combination of auxin-mimicking herbicides from different chemical groups offers an alternative for controlling fleabane ( spp.) in soybean pre-sowing, but care is needed to avoid phytotoxicity. This study evaluated the effectiveness of auxinic herbicide mixtures in controlling spp.

Surgical-related Morphological Characteristics of Sphenoid Sinuses: A Comprehensive CT-Based Analysis.

Background: This study aims to assess the relationships between sphenoid sinus (SS) types, septation, lobulation, symmetry, septal deviation, and the variations in SS pneumatization regarding the surrounding neurovascular structures using Computed tomography (CT) images. Sexes and age groups were investigated.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated head CT-scans of 320 patients (age range 18-49 years); mean of 43.
