Abstract
In recent years, Fusarium spp. gained importance in human health due to the increasing incidence of fungal infections related to immunosuppressed patients. Fusariosis is the second most common filamentous fungal infection in patients with hematologic neoplasms. Despite advances in therapy and early diagnosis, invasive fusariosis remains associated with high morbidity and up to 70% mortali…

Abstract
Plants are sessile organism that in order to be able to colonize extreme environments they have developed morphological, physiological and metabolic traits that confer them the ability to withstand extreme habitat being able to grow and reproduce under these conditions. They are called extremophile plants. A trade-off (Inverse relationship) between plant productivity and stress tolerance …

Abstract
This proposal deals with practical algorithms for continuous optimization problems in a very general context known as nonlinear conic programming. This framework encompasses some well-established research fields in continuous optimization, such as nonlinear programming, nonlinear second-order cone programming, and nonlinear semidefinite programming. Each of these fields carry countless ap…

Abstract
Primary immunodeficiencies are a group of more than 200 different diseases associated with genetic disorders that affect the development and/or function of the immune system. Many of them can cause death during the first year of life if not treated in time, however, a timely therapy allows patients to survive to adulthood. For this to occur, early diagnosis of immunodeficiency based on a …

Abstract
There is a strong global tendency to find alternative ways to produce pharmaceutical active principies from biotechnology processo In this scenario, Brazil shows a small expression in both research and production. Worsening the situation, international suppliers of biopharmaceuticals to Brazil are losing interest in the market and discontinuing production, especially those related to onco…

Abstract
SMARTHEAL TH will provide the Brazilian and Chilean efficient use of natural resources that add-value and minimize waste. Considering the Brazilian and Chile biodiversity, their potential use and the necessity of a model of sustainable economic development, research involving products truly national take significant importance. This is very important because the native fruits are mostly r…
