The species Oryza sativa (rice) and Musa cavendishii (banana) are sources of cellulose-rich waste biomass in the Amazon region, Tocantins State. This research investigates the nanoscale production of cellulose through the interactions between three choline amino acid ionic liquids Ch[AA]IL and the respective fibers by pretreatment. To this end, the synthesis of three ILs was carried out: choline arginate Ch[Arg], choline glycinate Ch[Gly] and choline lysinate Ch[Lys], characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The samples resulting from the pretreatment were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It was possible to infer from the SEM micrographs that Ch[Arg] caused greater fiber breakage than the other ILs. The TEM analyses identified fibers up to 16 nm in diameter. Positive effects were observed in the diffractograms, although no crystallinity was obtained in the pretreated samples. Thermogravimetry curves showed that the fibers treated with Ch[Arg] showed higher thermal stability. rice (rice banana (banana celluloserich rich region State ChAAIL Ch AA IL end out ChArg, ChArg Arg , ChGly Gly Ch[Gly ChLys, ChLys Lys Ch[Lys] FTIR.

The composites of poly (butylene adipate co-terephthalate) / poly (lactic acid) (PBAT/PLA) blend and montmorillonites functionalized using imidazole-derived ionic liquids with different carbon chain sizes (butyl, octyl, and dodecyl) proved to be a promising alternative for improving the thermal and mechanical properties of the polymer blend. Functionalization of montmorillonites by ionic liquids was confirmed by increasing the basal spacing, and spectroscopical and thermal analysis evidence. The composite synthesis was carried out by casting technique generating homogeneous polymeric films. X-ray diffraction analyses suggested that montmorillonite functionalization with the ionic liquid of the butyl carbon chain fostered exfoliation and incorporation of the clay into the polymer. Furthermore, an increase in the thermal stability and mechanical properties of the material was observed. The other composites formed between the PBAT/PLA blend and the montmorillonite functionalized by ionic liquids of higher carbonic chain showed micro composites formation. Thus, their thermal and mechanical properties had no significant improvements. butylene coterephthalate co terephthalate co-terephthalate lactic acid PBATPLA PBAT PLA (PBAT/PLA imidazolederived imidazole derived butyl, (butyl octyl dodecyl spacing evidence films Xray X ray Furthermore observed formation Thus improvements

Abstract Introduction: Spills of flammable liquids can lead to serious accidents, mainly in industrial plants and on roads. To prevent the spread of spills, various forms of collection are used, such as absorption with porous solids. Agroindustrial waste can be used as sorbent materials for flammable liquids. Objective: To determine the sorption capacity of the residual empty-fruit bunch of oil-palm (Elaeis guineensis) and the macaw palm (Acrocomia sp.) nutshell for four organic flammable liquids. Methods: The residual biomasses of E. guineensis and Acrocomia sp. were assessed as sorbents for spilled fuels (diesel, jet fuel, commercial kerosene, and gasoline). Volumetric measurement of liquid-fuel absorption at 24 ºC was taken during a week. Desorption was measured at 50 ºC as the drying kinetics, by using moisture scales. Results: The sorption capacity of the Acrocomia sp. material was not satisfactory, compared to the E. guineensis residual material, due to differences in the residual architecture of the organic material. This last can absorb 2.4 ± 0.2 cm3 g-1 at 24 ºC, during a one-week period. Diatomite absorbs greater quantities of the organic liquids but, the fluids diffusion at 50 ºC is 0.26 ± 0.09 times more slowly in the mineral matrix, because of the greater pore tortuosity in this mineral matrix. Conclusions: The oil-palm empty fruit bunch of E. guineensis, showed lesser but adequate performance than the sorbing behavior for fire hazard mitigation of diatomite. The nutshell of macaw palm (Acrocomia sp.) did not prove to be useful for this recovery operation.

Resumen Introducción: Los vertidos de líquidos inflamables pueden producir accidentes graves, principalmente en plantas industriales y en carretera. Para prevenir la dispersión de derrames, se utilizan diversas formas de recolecta, como la absorción con sólidos porosos. Residuos agroindustriales pueden ser aprovechados como materiales sorbentes de líquidos inflamables. Objetivo: Determinar la capacidad de absorción de las biomasas residuales del pedúnculo de la palma aceitera (Elaeis guineensis) y del endocarpio del fruto de coyol (Acrocomia sp.) para cuatro líquidos orgánicos inflamables. Métodos: Las biomasas residuales de E. guineensis y de Acrocomia sp. se evaluaron como sorbentes para combustibles derramados (diésel, queroseno de aviación, queroseno comercial y gasolina). Se midió la cantidad de líquido absorbida por las biomasas a 24 ºC durante una semana, y su cinética de desorción a 50 ºC, usando balanzas de secado. Resultados: La propiedad sorbente del material de Acrocomia sp. no fue satisfactoria, comparada con el pedúnculo de E. guineensis, debido a diferencias en arquitectura residual del material orgánico. Esta última biomasa muestra una capacidad de absorción para los combustibles de 2.4 ± 0.2 cm3 g-1 a 24 ºC. La diatomita absorbe mayor cantidad de los combustibles estudiados, pero la difusión de estos fluidos a 50 ºC por la matriz mineral es solo 0.26 ± 0.09 veces lo observado para el material de E. guineensis, como resultado del mayor grado de tortuosidad de los poros de la diatomita. Conclusiones: El pedúnculo de palma aceitera (E. guineensis) mostró un adecuado potencial desempeño para la aplicación pasiva en la mitigación de los riesgos de incendio, con respecto a la diatomita. El endocarpio del fruto de Acrocomia sp. no resultó útil para esta operación de recuperación.

ABSTRACT Asphaltene deposition is a problem that occurs in oil operations, affecting most types of crude oil. Inhibitor/dispersant products are used to address this issue. A systematic review of scientific literature was conducted to analyze alternative products evaluated between 2014 and 2023, as well as the characteristics of the published research. Google Scholar was used along with inclusion and exclusion criteria according to the PRISMA statement, resulting in a total of 24 articles. Venezuela stands out with the highest production of research. Synthetic products were more commonly used (ionic liquids, resins, and metallic nanoparticles), and among natural products, vegetable oils were prominent. The main testing methods were optical microscopy and absorbance. The analyses were primarily based on description/comparison, and four vegetable oils and five synthetic products were found to have efficiencies greater than 75%. The need for research with natural products is highlighted, as they are more easily obtainable, less expensive, and environmentally friendly.

El modelo se ha obtenido a partir de una segunda evaluación desarrollada anteriormente por los autores sobre el flujo de fluidos en una sola fase en el interior de tubos rugosos. La correlación propuesta se ha verificado mediante comparación con un total de 1 666 datos experimentales disponibles de 34 fluidos diferentes, entre los que se incluyen aire, gases, agua y líquidos orgánicos. El modelo propuesto cubre un rango de validez para el número de Prandtl que va de 0,65 a 4,52 x 104, valores del número de Reynolds de 2,4 x103 a 8,32 x106, un rango de rugosidad relativa de 5 x10-2 a 2 x10-6 y una relación de viscosidad de 0,0048 a 181,5. El modelo propuesto proporciona una buena correlación para 104≤Re y Re<104, con un error medio del 18,3% para el 70,4% de los datos y del 16,6% para el 74,8% de los datos, respectivamente. El método presenta una concordancia satisfactoria con los datos experimentales en cada intervalo evaluado; por tanto, el modelo puede considerarse suficientemente preciso para su aplicación práctica. Actualmente, en la literatura técnica disponible se desconoce un método con características similares.

Abstract An improved method for heat transfer calculation inside rough tubes is provided. The model has been obtained from a second assessment developed early by the authors on fluid flow in single-phase inside rough tubes. The proposed correlation has been verified by comparison with a total of 1 666 experimental available data of 34 different fluids, including air, gases, water and organic liquids. The proposal model covers a validity range for Prandtl number ranging from 0.65 to 4.52x104, values of Reynolds number from 2.4x103 to 8.32x106, a range of relative roughness ranging from 5x10-2 to 2x10-6 and viscosity ratio from 0.0048 to 181.5. The proposed model provides a good correlation for 104≤Re and Re<104, with an average error of 18.3% for 70.4% of the data and 16.6% for 74.8% of the data, respectively. The method presents a satisfactory agreement with the experimental data in each interval evaluated; therefore, the model can be considerate accurate enough for practical application. At the present time, in the available technical literature, a method with similar characteristics is unknown.

RESUMEN Jules Lefort (1816-1889) fue un farmacéutico y químico francés que se dedicó a la toxicología y ensayos forenses, especialmente de la morfina y el fósforo. Reportó la coloración generada por diversos reactivos con la morfina, narcotina, brucine y estricnina, así como los efectos químicos y toxicológicos producidos por la morfina durante su pasaje por la economía animal. La morfina resistía sin alteración la putrefacción más activa y extensa del material animal. Las sales del sesquióxido de fierro eran el mejor reactivo para asegurar la presencia de morfina en polvo o en soluciones concentradas. El ácido yódico con amoníaco era capaz de detectar morfina en un líquido conteniendo 1/10.000 partes de alcaloide, y la morfina, consumida en forma continua y en dosis variable, aparecía en la orina y no en el sudor. Demostró que el HCl gaseoso era el mejor reactivo para detectar la presencia de digitalina en un líquido incoloro y que este compuesto podía ser separado en forma nítida por diálisis. Leroy reportó las diferencias entre la ipecacuanha proveniente de Brasil y la de Nueva Granada; esta última contenía 23% menos de emetina. También desarrolló un proceso muy eficiente para separar este principio. Leroy encontró que el olor desprendido por los cuerpos en putrefacción, así como su débil fosforescencia, se debían a un derivado sulfurado y a una combinación de fósforo e hidrógeno. También determinó la cantidad de atropina presente en las hojas y las raíces de la belladona y propuso un método eficiente para su extracción.

ABSTRACT Jules Lefort (1816-1889) was a French pharmacist and chemist who did extensive research on toxicology and forensic tests, particularly for morphine and phosphorus. He studied the coloration produced by different reagents with morphine, narcotine, brucine, and strychnine, and the chemical and toxicological effects produced by morphine during its passage through the animal economy. Morphine resisted without alteration the most active and extended putrefaction of animal matter. Salts of iron sesquioxide were the best reagent for assuring the presence of morphine in powder or concentrated solution; iodic acid with ammonia could detect morphine in a liquid containing 1/10,000 part of the alkaloid, and morphine ingested in a continuous manner and in variable doses, would appear in the urine but not in the sweat. He proved that HCl gaseous was the best reagent for detecting the presence of digitaline in colorless liquids and that this compound could be neatly separated by dialysis. Leroy reported the differences between the ipecacuanhas originating from Brasil and from New Granada; the latter contained 23% less emetine. He also developed a very efficient procedure for the separation of this principle. Leroy found that the odor released by putrefying bodies, as well as their slight emission of light, were caused by a sulfur derivative and a combination of hydrogen and phosphorus. He also determined the amount of atropine present in the leaves and roots of belladonna and proposed an efficient method for its extraction.

The industry's principal objective is to comprehend the optimal application of each metal alloy in terms of corrosion resistance. A key focus lies in exploring alternative approaches to address this corrosive process in a manner that is both sustainable and economically feasible. The major strategy to mitigate this contest involves the utilization of inhibitors. However, it is imperative to note that certain inhibitors pose environmental risks. This study explores the effect of the addition of protic ionic liquids (PILs) on the corrosion of carbon steel (A36) in a saline solution (3.5 wt% NaCl), considering variations in pH and temperature. It focuses on understanding the effects of pH and temperature on the PILs' ability to protect the steel surface. Notably, changes in pH do not affect the protective capacity of the inhibitors. Efficiency values exceeding 72% were achieved under both acidic conditions tested. The study reveals two scenarios: At 40 °C, the PILs effectively protect the steel, with an efficiency of approximately 74% at concentrations of 500 and 1000 ppm. However, at 60 °C, efficiency decreases notably, reaching a maximum of 51% at a concentration of 500 ppm. Afterward, to evaluate the protective effectiveness of these compounds, gravimetric and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) serve as the main methods, accompanied by optical and atomic force microscopy (AFM) for evaluating the surface. In electrochemical tests, PILs 1 and 2 exhibit superior efficiency, with film formation, while PILs 3 to 6 demonstrate comparatively lower values. industrys industry s resistance feasible However risks (PILs A36 (A36 3.5 35 5 (3. wt NaCl, NaCl , NaCl) surface Notably 72 tested scenarios 4 C °C 74 50 100 ppm notably 51 Afterward compounds EIS (EIS methods AFM (AFM tests formation A3 (A3 3.

In this work, electrochemical tests were performed to measure hydrogen permeation during free dissolution of carbon steel in the presence of the ionic liquids (ILs) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate [(EMIM)+(Ac)-], 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide [(EMIM)+(Br)-], and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [(BMIM)+(BF4)-] in 5.4 mol L-1 HCl aqueous solution. The permeation inhibition efficiencies (IEp (%)) of 5-hydroxy-2-nitromethylene-hexahydropyrimidine (HPY) and a commercial corrosion inhibitor (CCI) were also evaluated. Among the ILs, the (BMIM)+(BF4)- compound presented the highest corrosion and hydrogen permeation inhibition efficiencies, with values of 23% and 30%, respectively. The (EMIM)+(Br)- and (EMIM)+(Ac)- compounds were not effective against corrosion, but they presented IEp of 15.8% and 23%, respectively. The HPY compound demonstrated 61% effectiveness in preventing corrosion, while in silico evaluation indicated no toxicity. However, neither the HPY compound nor the CCI compound inhibited the entry of hydrogen into the carbon steel during the pickling process. work ILs (ILs 1ethyl3methylimidazolium ethylmethylimidazolium 1 ethyl 3 methylimidazolium EMIM+Ac, EMIMAc EMIM + Ac , [(EMIM)+(Ac)-] EMIM+Br, EMIMBr Br [(EMIM)+(Br)-] 1butyl3methylimidazolium butylmethylimidazolium butyl BMIM+BF4 BMIMBF4 BMIMBF BMIM BF4 BF [(BMIM)+(BF4)- 54 5 4 5.

Abstract Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) coatings used for moisture protection of surfaces have been used broadly. They have been considered environmentally friendly because their synthesis releases less or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the atmosphere. With the Covid-19 pandemic concerns, cleaning protocols of these surfaces have been applied and scientific knowledge about the effects of these liquids on WPU surfaces is necessary. In this work, diffusion experiments were performed using four liquids, in pure WPU and WPU filled with graphene oxide (GO). Detergent had the most severe effect on polyurethane films, causing severe cracks and weight loss. Diffusion parameters of HCl 5% and HCl 10% were greater in WPU/GO nanocomposites than in pure WPU. Mechanical tests under chemical aging showed that alcohol reduced most the tensile strength and Young modulus. Overall, GO protected the films for all liquid exposures, increasing their tensile strength and Young modulus.

Abstract Background: Although cerebral palsy is a risk factor for aspiration, there is insufficient research on residual gastric volume after preoperative fasting in children with cerebral palsy. We evaluated the incidence of a full stomach by ultrasound assessment of the gastric volume in children with cerebral palsy who underwent orthopedic surgery after preoperative fasting. Methods: The patients fasted for 8 h for solid foods and 2 h for clear liquids. We obtained the gastric antral cross-sectional area using ultrasound in the semi-recumbent and right lateral decubitus positions. A calculated stomach volume > 1.5 mL.kg−1 was considered as full, which poses a high aspiration risk. The primary outcome was the incidence of full stomach, and the secondary outcomes were the qualitative gastric volume, correlation of disease severity categorized according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System with the residual gastric volume, gastric volume per body weight, and qualitative gastric volume. Results: Thirty-seven pediatric patients with cerebral palsy, scheduled for elective orthopedic surgery, were included for analysis. Full-stomach status was observed in none, and the gastric volume per body weight was 0.5 (0.4–0.7) mL.kg−1. No significant differences were observed in the residual gastric volume (p = 0.114), gastric volume per body weight (p = 0.117), or qualitative grade of gastric volume (p = 0.642) in relation to disease severities. Conclusion: Children with cerebral palsy who fasted preoperatively had empty or nearly empty stomachs. Further studies are required to determine the optimal fasting duration for such children.

Abstract In A Céu Aberto, by João Gilberto Noll (1996), the operation of excess, as well as its close connection with homoeroticism, establishes a symbolic game that concentrates, within the erotic intimacy of the text, a character that fractures into several others, in order to break with the stillness of the body. In this way, we have a narrator who, in the constant excessiveness of sex, authorizes what is underneath, cast on the ground — the excrement, the viscous liquids that flow from the body, among others — to occupy a central place in the plot.

Resumo Em A céu aberto, de João Gilberto Noll (1996), a operação do excesso, bem como sua estreita ligação com o homoerotismo, estabelece um jogo simbólico que concentra, na intimidade erótica do texto, o protagonista que se fratura em vários outros, de modo a romper com a quietude do corpo.

RESUMO A fabricação e o envase de vacinas tornaram-se primordiais no cenário mundial em função do ressurgimento da pandemia da COVID-19 desde 2020. O processo de obtenção da vacina vai desde estudos laboratoriais até o seu armazenamento em tanques reservatórios de produto. Para tanto, a vacina passa por bombas de envase e mangueiras sanitárias, até o envase efetivo nos frascos e ampolas por meio de agulhas de envase. No entanto, as mesmas são desenvolvidas em aço inoxidável 316L, que quando exposto a líquidos estagnados ou em movimento podem corroer e contaminar o fármaco. Nesse contexto, esse trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar se existe contaminação química das agulhas fornecidas pela Empresa Teksul Soluções em Envase. Para tanto, 21 agulhas de envase foram imersas em excipientes, com propriedades físico-químicas que se equivalem à vacina, durante 0, 35, 63 e 94 dias. Os excipientes foram avaliados quanto ao pH e por absorção atômica, enquanto as agulhas foram avaliadas por análise de perda e ganho de massa, análises microscópicas obtidas ao MEV (Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura) e testes eletroquímicos de corrosão. Os resultados mostraram que o aumento do tempo de imersão das agulhas de envase favoreceu a formação de uma camada passiva com propriedades de resistência à corrosão. tornaramse tornaram COVID19 COVID 19 COVID-1 2020 produto tanto sanitárias entanto 316L L fármaco contexto Envase 2 físicoquímicas físico químicas 0 35 6 9 dias atômica massa Microscópio Varredura corrosão COVID1 1 COVID- 202 3 20

ABSTRACT The manufacturing and packaging of vaccines have become essential on the global stage due to the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic since 2020. The process of obtaining the vaccine ranges from laboratory studies to its storage in product reservoir tanks. To do so, the vaccine passes through filling pumps and sanitary hoses, until it is effectively filled into vials and ampoules using filling needles. However, they are developed in 316L stainless steel, which when exposed to stagnant or moving liquids can corrode and contaminate the drug. In this context, this work aims to evaluate whether there is chemical contamination of the needles supplied by the company Teksul Soluções em Envase. To this end, 21 filling needles were immersed in excipients, with physicochemical properties that are equivalent to the vaccine, for 0, 35, 63 and 94 days. The excipients were evaluated for pH and atomic absorption, while the needles were evaluated by mass loss and gain analysis, microscopic analyzes obtained using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and electrochemical corrosion tests. The results showed that increasing the immersion time of the filling needles favored the formation of a passive layer with corrosion resistance properties.

Surface tension (SFT) can shape the behavior of liquids in industrial chemical processes, influencing variables such as flow rate and separation efficiency. This property is commonly measured with experimental approaches such as Du Noüy ring and Wilhelmy plate methods. Here, we present machine learning (ML) methodologies that can predict the SFT of hydrocarbons. A comparative analysis encompassing k-nearest neighbors, random forest, and XGBoost (extreme gradient boosting) methods was done. Results from our study reveal that XGBoost is the most accurate in predicting hydrocarbon SFT, with a mean squared error (MSE) of 4.65 mN2 m-2 and a coefficient of determination (R2) score of 0.89. The feature importance was evaluated with the permutation feature importance method and Shapley analysis. Enthalpy of vaporization, density, molecular weight and hydrogen content are key factors in accurately predicting SFT. The successful integration of these methodologies holds the potential to impact efficiency in different industry processes.

ABSTRACT Introduction: With a major impact on the population, burns require epidemiological analysis and constant planning for the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients. This work aims to compare, after a decade, the indicators of the Burn Treatment Center at Hospital João XXIII, in Belo Horizonte, MG, covered in the article “Epidemiology of burns in the state of Minas Gerais”, published in the Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica with data from 2010, to validate current and future strategies. Method: Review of the medical records of patients suffering from burns, admitted to the aforementioned center in 2020. Results: 473 burn victims were hospitalized during the period, 87.5% were caused by an accident, 34.5% due to hot liquids, 23.7% by alcohol; 61.9% from the interior of the state of Minas Gerais; and 63.4% were male. The average age was 30 years, the average burned body surface area was 18.8% and the average length of stay was 25 days. 580 surgical debridement and 473 autologous skin grafts were performed. 7.4% of patients died, corresponding to 29.5% of those admitted to the adult ICU, with an average burned body surface area of 49.7%, and 10.5% of those admitted to the pediatric ICU. The biggest cause of death was sepsis, in 57.1% of cases. Mortality decreased from 16.3% to 7.4% in the period studied. Conclusion: The profile of patients hospitalized for burns remained largely the same after 10 years. There was an increase in the number of visits to burn victims in the interior of the state and burns caused by hot liquids became more frequent than those caused by alcohol. “The search for compliance with treatment based on world literature resulted in reduction in mortality.” Introduction population prevention compare decade XXIII Horizonte MG Epidemiology Gerais, Gerais , Gerais” 2010 strategies Method 2020 Results 47 875 87 5 87.5 accident 345 34 34.5 237 23 7 23.7 alcohol 619 61 9 61.9 634 63 4 63.4 male 3 years 188 18 8 18.8 2 days 58 performed 74 7.4 died 295 29 29.5 ICU 497 49 49.7% 105 10.5 sepsis 571 57 1 57.1 cases 163 16 16.3 studied Conclusion mortality. mortality 201 202 87. 34. 23. 6 61. 63. 18. 7. 29. 49.7 10. 57. 16. 20 49.

BACKGROUND: Oral feeding practices of young patients on high-flow oxygen (HFO2) have been controversial. Limited literature exists on this topic, but new studies suggest introducing oral feeds OBJECTIVE: This study aims to describe the changes in swallowing and feeding of a group of young children on HFO2 METHOD: Twelve participants (mean age 34.17 months [s.d. = 3.97]) on HFO2 were assessed clinically at the bedside using the Schedule of Oral Motor Assessment. Assessments were conducted twice to determine the change in characteristics: upon approval from the managing doctor when respiratory stability on HFO2 was achieved and for a second time on the last day of receiving HFO2 (mean 2.6 days apart). Patients received standard in-patient care and speech therapy intervention RESULTS: Most participants displayed typical oral motor function at initial and final assessments for liquid, puree and semi-solid consistencies. Purees and soft solid consistencies were introduced to most participants (n = 11, 91.7%). Solids and chewables were challenging for all participants during both assessments. Half of the participants displayed gagging and a wet vocal quality with thin liquids at the initial assessment only CONCLUSION: This small-scale study found that HFO2 should not preclude oral diets, but in this sample, small amounts of oral feeding could be introduced with caution, in an individualised manner, and with a collaborative multidisciplinary approach. Further research is essential CONTRIBUTION: Partial oral feeding of specific consistencies was possible during the assessment of young paediatric in-patients on HFO2. Monitoring of individual patient characteristics and risk factors by a specialist feeding team is essential
