Resumo: Microrganismos podem acarretar doenças respiratórias de significativa importância e impacto na saúde da população. Considerada a dinâmica da vida cotidiana nas grandes cidades e o crescente aumento do uso de ar-condicionado em ambientes internos para o conforto térmico das pessoas, a intensa movimentação de ar pode carregar partículas microbianas Leia mais…

Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the adhesive forces of calcium carbonate encrusted on the metallic surface of AISI 304 stainless steel through linear scratch tribological tests. The formation of mineral scale on metallic surfaces is a relevant phenomenon in several industrial sectors, such as the oil industry, heat exchanger Leia mais…

Abstract: This paper presents a thermodynamic and kinetic model for simulating calcium carbonate scaling in a tubularreactor under varying saline composition, temperature, and flow rate. Simulation results are compared withexperimental data obtained from a tubular reactor developed by the IPT and Petrobras. A mathematicalmodel based on thermodynamics and crystallization kinetics Leia mais…

Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global public health challenge, with the current BCG vaccine providing limited efficacy in adults, and available treatments being lengthy and debilitating. To overcome these challenges, we have previously developed a recombinant BCG strain expressing the detoxified E. coli Heat-Labile Toxin (LTAK63), providing increased protection in Leia mais…
