The presence of fluids in the pore space of rocks causes wave attenuation and dispersion by the mechanism broadly known as wave-induced fluid flow (WIFF). WIFF occurs as a seismic wave creates pressure gradients within t...

The inherent vulnerability of elasmobranchs (i.e., sharks, skates, rays) to extinction stems from their conservative life history traits, particularly those related to reproduction. Traditional studies on elasmobranch re...

In this chapter the capsaicin derivative grafting onto cellulose ispresented as an alternative to obtain bioactive papers. First, grafting of nonivamide (capsaicin derivative) onto cellulose fibers using polycarboxylicac...

Many seed gums extracted from Prosopis spp. were investigated during recent years: P.africana from Senegal, P. affinis from Uruguay, P. glandulosa from México have shownpromising physicochemical properties and high simi...

Protein therapeutic agents frequently have short half-life in circulation due to their filtration by kidney, the action of proteolytic enzymes, the recognition by the immune system or the generation of neutralizing antib...

The present chapter explores how the distinctive characteristics of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), particularly when at different interfaces, account for many novel potential applications in the oil industry. According t...

The path to mammalness is well documented in the fossil record of Therapsida. Cynodontia is a group that includes living mammals and a series of stem fossil taxa that are individualized under the paraphyletic name of non...

This chapter introduces the most relevant concepts about wine field, including terroir, manufacturing process and the Wine Protected Designation as a way ofauthentication. Contents of molecular organic acids, volatile sp...

This chapter focuses on the recent advances in theoretical and experimental procedures on third-order/four-way and fourth-order/five-way analytical methods. For higher-order data generation, most of the published works r...

In this chapter, the potentiality of using a natural polymer (casein) and acarbohydrate (monosaccharides) as raw material to produce waterbornelatexes for coating applications will be presented. Indeed, casein is a subpr...
