Green Synthesis of Gold and Silver Nanoparticles from Plant Extracts and Their Possible Applications as Antimicrobial Agents in the Agricultural Area
(MDPI AG, 2020-09-07)
Currently, metal nanoparticles have varied uses for different medical, pharmaceutical, and
agricultural applications. Nanobiotechnology, combined with green chemistry, has great potential
for the development of novel and ...
Enhancing the tolerance of Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum to ligno‐ cellulosic-biomass-derived inhibitors for efficient biobutanol production by overexpressing efflux pumps genes from Pseudomonas putida
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Furan aldehydes and phenolic compounds generated during biomass pretreatment can
inhibit fermentation for biofuel production. Efflux pumps actively transport small molecules out
of cells, thus sustaining normal microbial ...
Groundwater and surface water connectivity within the recharge area of Guarani aquifer system during El Niño 2014–2016
(Wiley & Sons, 2018)
Recharge areas of the Guarani Aquifer System (GAS) are particularly sensitive and vulnerable
to climate variability; therefore, the understanding of infiltration mechanisms for aquifer recharge and surface run‐off generation ...
Insight into the stable isotopic composition of glacial lakes in a tropical alpine ecosystem: Chirripó, Costa Rica
(Wiley & Sons, 2018)
Tropical high‐elevation lakes are considered sentinels of global climate change. This work characterizes the hydrological conditions of tropical alpine glacial lakes located in the highlands of Chirripó, Costa Rica, using ...
Preface to Stable isotopes in hydrological studies in the tropics: ecohydrological perspectives in a changing climate
(Wiley & Sons, 2019)
Tropical regions (comprised between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, 23.5°N to 23.5°S) cover approximately 36% of the Earth's landmass. They are home to 40% of the world's population, which is
projected to increase ...
Modelling non-stationary water ages in a tropical rainforest: A preliminary spatially distributed assessment
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2020)
Pristine tropical forests play a critical role in regional and global climate systems. For a
better understanding of the eco-hydrology of tropical “evergreen” vegetation, it is
essential to know the partitioning of water ...
On the comparison between diafiltration and isothermal titration calorimetry: Determination of the amount of analytes bound to watersoluble polymers
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
Aqueous systems composed of low molecular-weight species (LMWS) and water-soluble polymers (WSP) present
important technological applications. Therefore, continuous advances on characterization techniques are crucial
to ...
Moisture transport and seasonal variations in the stable isotopic composition of rainfall in Central American and Andean Páramo during El Niño conditions (2015–2016)
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2019)
High‐elevation tropical grassland systems, called Páramo, provide essential ecosystem services such as water storage and supply for surrounding and lowland areas.
Páramo systems are threatened by climate and land use ...
Potent CYP3A4 Inhibitors Derived from Dillapiol and Sesamol
(American Chemical Society 4, 6, 10915–10920 2019, 2019)
Synthesis of 50 analogues of the natural insecticide synergists, dillapiol and sesamol, is reported. These were
evaluated as potential insecticide synergists based on their inhibition of human CYP3A4. The most potent ...
Drug Solubility Enhancement through the Preparation of Multicomponent Organic Materials: Eutectics of Lovastatin with Carboxylic Acids
(MDPI AG, 2019-03)
Lovastatin (LOV) is a drug used to treat hypercholesterolemia. Recent studies have
identified its antioxidant effects and potential use in the treatment of some types of cancer. However,
the low bioavailability related ...
