- SAFE: e-LSA - Electrification of a National Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) for Pilot Training and Education., AP.PIPE
Abstract
According to the National Inventory of Civil Aviation Atmospheric Emissions of 2019, the aviation sector was responsible for about 3% of carbon dioxide emissions within the national territory in 2018. Beyond the challenge of reducing carbon emissions and increasing energy efficiency, the aviation sector also faces another challenge, which is the shortage of professionals due to the high c…
- RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TO OBTAIN HOP EXTRACT (Humulus lupulus) WITH LOW BITTERNESS AND VALIDATION OF METABOLIC AND COGNITIVE EFFECTS, AP.PIPE
Abstract
Hops (Humulus Lupulus) are extensively used in industry to add aroma and flavor in the production of beers, and can also be used as a natural preservative. Currently, companies are concerned about the destination and amount of food waste generated during the production process, representing an environmental problem. In this way, the treatment and processing of this residue can help in the…
- Development of Variants of a Commercial Reverse Transcriptase with Enhanced Thermal Stability, AP.PIPE
Abstract
Reverse transcriptases (RTs) are enzymes that synthesizes a complementary DNA strand from an RNA molecule as a template. Routinely used in Molecular Biology laboratories, RTs are largely used in the fields of health, agriculture, veterinary and industry. However, a recurring challenge to RTs is the manipulation of long RNAs and/or those with complex secondary structures that affect the sy…
