Thermal and photo-stability of the antioxidant potential of Spirulina platensis powder

Braz. j. biol; 77 (2), 2017
Abstract This work aimed to evaluate the thermal and photo stability of the antioxidant potential (AP) of the Spirulina platensis biomass. Thermal stability was established at 25ºC, 40ºC and 50ºC for 60 days, in the dark, protected from light. Photo stability was evaluated using UV (15 W, λ = 265...

Partitioning of the diffuse attenuation coefficient for photosynthetically available irradiance in a deep dendritic tropical lake

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (1,supl), 2017
ABSTRACT We studied the effects of particulate and dissolved optically active components on the attenuation of photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) in a tropical lake. The temporal and spatial distribution of tripton, Chl-a and aCDOM(440) and their relative contribution to the diffuse PAR attenuation co...

Accuracy of a smartphone to test laryngoscope's light and an audit to our laryngoscopes using an ISO standard

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 67 (2), 2017
Abstract Background and objectives: Laryngoscope is a key tool in anesthetic practice. Direct laryngoscopy is a crucial moment and inadequate laryngoscope's light can lead to catastrophic consequences. From our experience laryngoscope's light is assessed in a subjective manner and we believe a more prec...
