Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a gradual and progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by extensive neuronal losses and deposits of neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques. Mild neurocognitive impairment (MCI) is characterized by cognitive decline, but with preservation of functionality, being an intermediate stage between normal AD cognition, but that can be reversed. ADAM10 is…
Multi-user equipment approved in grant 2021/01863-9: Real time PCR system QuantStudio qPCR, AP.EMU
Abstract
In this project, the formation of an Advanced Second Generation (A2G) Biofuels lab based at the University of Campinas is proposed. The mission of the A2G lab is to develop and enable deployment of disruptive 2G technology for sustainable production of bioethanol from sugar cane and energy cane at much lower cost than today's technology. The central focus of the A2G lab is a new paradig…

Abstract
The quality of food products throughout their shelf life changes as they are perishable by nature. Moreover, consumers increasingly demand for more convenient products with a lower degree of processing and presenting fresh features with high quality. Intelligent packaging is a new concept that can be used as a tool to monitor and report a quality attribute of a product from its distributi…
Development of low density polymer films for smart packaging, AP.EMU
Abstract
The X-ray diffraction technique commonly available in research laboratories, which we call conventional, is based on the Bragg-Brentano configuration. This enables us to analyze samples previously powdered and to obtain information on the crystal structure and/or relative phase amorphous/crystalline phase in glass ceramic samples. These are information, in general, of an average of what h…
EMU granted in process 2013 / 07793-6: x-ray diffraction equipment with small area accessory, AP.EMU
Abstract
In order to obtain more information about the crystallization processes in vitreous samples, we requested to FAPESP, by means of the associated project CEPID (CeRTEV Proc. 2013 / 07793-6), the acquisition of the equipment: "X-ray spectrometer fluorescent model ZSX MODEL ZSX PRIMUS II ". The acquisition of the wavelength dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometer equipment (WDXRF) has, as …
