1. Gas permeability and compressive strength evaluation of porous Al2O3 supported membrane
Abstract The aim was to investigate the feasibility of using a device to characterize permeability in porous substrates with low gas flux. Al2O3 supports were prepared by dry pressing using 1 to 3 wt% of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a pore-forming agent. The green body was partially sintered at 1300 ºC. CO2 gas was used to measure both the pressure loss and

3. MODELLING ION TRANSPORT IN AN AMINE SOLUTION THROUGH A NANOFILTRATION MEMBRANE
Abstract The performance of a flat sheet polyamide nanofiltration membrane in rejection of a binary mixture of heat stable salts (acetate and sulfate) from methyl-diethanolamine (MDEA) solution was investigated. The effects of pressure and concentration of MDEA solution on rejection of acetate and sulfate ions were studied. At MDEA concentration of 20% wt. a

4. Mecanismos de queda do fluxo em membranas de microfiltração de poliéterimida aplicadas à clarificação de água produzida sintética
RESUMO Membranas de microfiltração de poliéterimida foram preparadas pelo método de inversão de fases para controlar a espessura, porosidade e tamanho de poros dos filmes. 1-metil-2-pirrolidona foi utilizada como solvente e água como não solvente. As propriedades das membranas foram avaliadas por meio de microscopia eletrônica de varredura, microfilt

5. Compatibility of GROMOS-Derived Atomic Parameters for Lipopolysaccharide Membranes with the SPC/E Water Model and Alternative Long-Range Electrostatic Treatments Using Single Nonbonded Cutoff and Atom-Based Charge Schemes
Recent developments of GROMACS v.2016 ceased to support methodological approaches used in the development and validation of the GROMOS force field. We investigated the performance of a previously developed extension of the GROMOS force field for lipopolysaccharides to reproduce the structural dynamics of bacterial outer membrane (OM) using a single cutoff fo

6. AVALIAÇÃO DO PERFIL DE LIBERAÇÃO DO FÁRMACO IBUPROFENO EM MEMBRANAS SIMÉTRICAS E ASSIMÉTRICAS DE ACETATO DE CELULOSE: EFEITO DA MORFOLOGIA
Cellulose derivatives still receive special attention in today biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, ability to form resistant membranes and compatibility with various bioactive agents. In this work, cellulose acetate (CA) was used to prepare membranes with different morphologies aiming to evaluate the release profile of the drug ibuprofen (

7. Hemolytic, anticancer and antigiardial activity of Palythoa caribaeorum venom
Abstract Background Cnidarian venoms and extracts have shown a broad variety of biological activities including cytotoxic, antibacterial and antitumoral effects. Most of these studied extracts were obtained from sea anemones or jellyfish. The present study aimed to determine the toxic activity and assess the antitumor and antiparasitic potential of Palythoa

8. Sensitivity of diagnostic methods for Mansonella ozzardi microfilariae detection in the Brazilian Amazon Region
BACKGROUND The human filarial worm Mansonella ozzardi is highly endemic in the large tributaries of the Amazon River. This infection is still highly neglected and can be falsely negative when microfilariae levels are low. OBJECTIVES This study investigated the frequency of individuals with M. ozzardi in riverine communities in Coari municipality, Brazilian

9. Anti-angiogenic effects of ethanolic extract of Artemisia sieberi compared to its active substance, artemisinin
Abstract Angiogenesis plays a key role in tumor growth, invasion and metastasis of cancer diseases and therefore, the inhibition of angiogenesis can provide an important therapeutic approach in cancer diseases. This study was designed to compare the anti-angiogenic activities of the ethanolic extract of Artemisia sieberi Besser, Asteraceae, and its active su

10. INFLUENCE OF RESIDENCE-TIME DISTRIBUTION ON A SURFACE-RENEWAL MODEL OF CONSTANT-PRESSURE CROSS-FLOW MICROFILTRATION
Abstract This work examines the influence of the residence-time distribution (RTD) of surface elements on a model of cross-flow microfiltration that has been proposed recently (Hasan et al., 2013). Along with the RTD from the previous work (Case 1), two other RTD functions (Cases 2 and 3) are used to develop theoretical expressions for the permeate-flux decl

11. Interaction of antimicrobial peptide Plantaricin149a and four analogs with lipid bilayers and bacterial membranes
The amidated analog of Plantaricin149, an antimicrobial peptide from Lactobacillus plantarum NRIC 149, directly interacts with negatively charged liposomes and bacterial membranes, leading to their lysis. In this study, four Pln149-analogs were synthesized with different hydrophobic groups at their N-terminus with the goal of evaluating the effect of the mod

12. Evaluation of anti-allergic and anti-anaphylactic activity of ethanolic extract of Zizyphus jujuba fruits in rodents
The present study reports the anti-allergic activity of ethanolic extract of Zizyphus jujubaMill., Rhamnaceae, and its possible mode of action. The effect of extract of Z. jujuba at different doses (250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg, orally) was simulated on studied animal models of asthma and allergy: a) milk induced eosinophilia and leukocytosis; b) compound 48/80 i
