Inflammation is considered the most important cause of tissue injury in organs subjected to nephrotoxicity induced by drugs. The mechanism that triggers inflammation and organ injury remains to be elucidated, although different causes have been postulated.
The study of different types of synthesis of hydrotalcites were studied. In the current research, hydrotalciteslike Zn-Al-CO3 and Ni-Al-CO3 were synthesized using the grinding method. The reaction conditions were optimized and the best results and yields were obtained at room temperature keeping the pH constant in 30 minutes. The effect of different molar ratios of hydrotalcites were also investigated and were further characterized using XRD, FTIR, and TGA.
Kanneliya Forest Reserve is a low land tropical rain forest located in the Galle District, Sri Lanka. The plant diversity of Kanneliya is considered richer, even compared to the Sinharaja World Heritage Rainforest. The Ceylon Plywood Corporation had been involved in the logging of the complex from 1968 until the logging was suspended in 1988. A research was conducted to measure the diversity of plants at the Kanneliya Forest Reserve as well as to determine the recovery of the forest after logging was suspended.
This study concerns the design of a light shelf applying concepts of Design for Sustainability and Life Cycle Thinking by using Life Cycle Assessment method as a tool to decision-making for the material choice. Light shelves are building devices installed in window with the goal to provide greater use of natural light. This study intends to consider the urgent need to promote the use of recycled aluminum in order to improve the use of scrap in applications that add value to this as an important raw material.
The study record three species of Schizaeaceae (Schizaea elegans (Vahl) Sw., Schizaeae stricta Lellinger and Actinostachys Pennula (Sw.) Hook), distributed in two genera (Actinostachys and Schizaea). Schizaea elegans is considered a new record for Maranhão and Schizaeae stricta a new record for the Brazilian Cerrado. It presents a taxonomic key for the species, photographs based on collected material, life-form data, occurrence environments, geographic distribution and additional comments on ecology and delimitation of species.
The Environmental Education as a possibility to unify knowledge in the school context contributes to the formation of citizens who are critical and active in the preservation of the Environment.
Energy is essential to the society’s progress, and its efficient use is necessary in an environment with finite resources. The Brazilian industrial sector demanded a third of all energy consumed in 2017, while in the United States this share was 22% of primary energy consumption. The American government invests significantly in research and development to promote energy efficiency in all sectors of the economy since the oil crisis in 1973.
