Sample preparation was a liquid extraction and chromatographic separation was performed in an Acquity C8 column. The mobile phases were 4 mM ammonium acetate in water (A) and acetonitrile (B) at 24:76 (v/v). The total analytical run time was 6 minutes, with retention time of 3.36 min for PEth and 4.13 min for phosphatidylpropanol. The method was linear from 10 to 3000 ng mL-1, specific, with, precise and accurate. The analyte was stable in DBS stored from -20 to 45 °C for 21 days. Matrix effect was compensated with the internal standard (-5.21% to + 6.09%). The method was applied in the evaluation of alcohol consumption in DBS from 25 chemical dependents. The PEth concentrations ranged from 14.5 to 2380.8 ng mL-1, with significant correlation with the self-report alcohol consumption AUDIT scores (r=0.41).","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68268723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To avoid this outbreak, new antimicrobial technologies are necessary. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are known for their antibacterial properties and several studies have focused on their synthesis, characterization, and biological assays. One possibility to synthesize AgNPs is through gamma radiation, known as radiolytic synthesis. This work focuses on the radiolytic synthesis of AgNPs capped into a mesoporous silica nanoparticle aiming at an antimicrobial application. The variants of the radiolytic synthesis, which may influence the AgNPs formation, were studied and statistically compared by Design of Experiments Factorial Design in Minitab Software. The Ag content is statically dependent on dose, volume, and pH, as well as on two parameters interaction: [Ag+]-pH and [Ag+]-volume-pH interaction. Transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption analyses indicated the presence of subnanometric AgNPS located inside the mesopores. Silver nanoagglomerates were also found by transmission electron microscopy, which could be formed by silver oxides, as shown in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. AgNPs reduce the specific surface area of the silica nanoparticle, while the matrix morphology remains. The nanocomposites presented preliminary biocompatibility observed in in vitro biological assay using fibroblasts, which support their application in biological systems as antimicrobial substitutes.","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68268798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An explanation for this disappearance can be found in the description of ignis fatuus as a cool flame of methane. Unlike a conventional flame, which generates large amounts of heat, ignis fatuus is a flame that glows without heat through a chemiluminescence process. Its characteristic bluish color is due to the emission of excited formaldehyde, which is formed in the slow combustion of methane. It is generally accepted that the phenomenon is a spontaneous combustion of swamp gas in contact with the oxygen in air, but an analysis of the energies involved in the cool flame process indicates that the phenomenon is not spontaneous in nature. Experiments carried out in the 19th century show torches being used to ignite ignis fatuus. The abandonment of fire in favor of night lighting may hold the secret to this mystery of ignis fatuus’s extinction.","PeriodicalId":49641,"journal":{"name":"Quimica Nova","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68269057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Phosphorus is a non-renewable element essential for the existence of life and also for food security.

On the other hand, when this element is present in high concentrations in aquatic environments, it can start a phenomenon called eutrophication, which causes a series of changes in biological succession processes and strongly negative impacts on species’ biodiversity and wealth. In this context, this work aimed, from an extensive bibliographical review, to gather strategic and essential information related to phosphorus sustainability, provoking a reflection regarding scenarios that involve this indispensable nutrient, focusing on the current situation of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, an important case study, both for the Brazilian and international scenario, by a gathering of data on the current situation of two of the main watersheds in the corresponding region. Relevant technologies used for phosphorus removal in eutrophicated environments are also addressed.

Thus, it is important to discuss this topic in the school environment, because when they are introduced from childhood to high school, the probability of this orientation being effective is much greater. In this context, educational games have attracted attention as a teaching tool, combining a fun atmosphere with the improvement of learning. This work aimed the production and application of a game in board format representing a dye-sensitized solar cell (CSSC) as a didactic resource in approaching the content of energy conversion. The game allowed an easy visualization of how the energy conversion process is performed by a CSSC. It was presented during the scientific dissemination event “Café com Ciência”, promoted by the Federal University of São João del-Rei, with good results both in gameplay aspects and in helping to understand the theme.
