Study shows challenge of promoting citizen science to help prevent disasters caused by flooding
Publicado em 18 de outubro de 2022
An application developed in collaboration with vulnerable communities to transmit early warnings of the risk of floods and environmental disasters has become public policy in Brazil, and the methodology is being replicated for use elsewhere. With practical results obtained in 2022, part of the discussions involving proposals to improve flood risk governance began at least two years ago.
An article published in the journal Disaster Prevention and Management reflects one of [...]

Supplementing diet with amino acid taurine could be a viable nutritional strategy to combat aging
Publicado em 21 julho 2022When our cells process the oxygen we breathe and the food we eat every day in order to survive, they generate potentially toxic by-products popularly known as “free radicals”. Some of these molecules perform functions essential to the organism, but if there are too many of them the cells’ internal structures can be damaged, preventing the cells from functioning properly and potentially leading to chronic disease. This process is called oxidative stress. Our bodies contain a [...]ver notícia -
Up to 70% of Environment-Harming Nitrogen Removed by Novel Wastewater Treatment System
Publicado em 27 junho 2022A new type of biofilm reactor adapted to Brazilian conditions and using polyurethane foam to lower costs can reduce the amount of nitrogen compounds in wastewater by as much as 70%, according to an article in Environmental Technology. The researchers who conducted the study developed a mathematical model to analyze and predict the nitrogen removal mechanism. The biofilm comprised bacteria that converted nitrogen compounds into nitrogen gas, which is environmentally [...]ver notícia
