We will engage in a new collaborative endeavor between key chemical pollution experts in the UK and Brazil to tackle public health problems linked with urbanization and deteriorating environment via water fingerprinting. This will be achieved via large-scale environment fingerprinting program in Campinas. We will focus on public exposure and environmental impacts from consumer, lifestyl...
This proposal sets out a research plan to investigate two classes of complex fluids. The first are viscoelastic liquids, composed of long chained molecules that impart a memory aspect to the fluid. The second are nematic liquid crystals that are composed of rod like molecules that give the liquid a directional preference (anisotropy). Both classes share properties of both liquids and so...
A previous A. nidulans genome-wide transcriptomic study showed that three fungal GPCRs, namely gprH, gprI and gprM, were induced during carbon starvation. Consequently, we hypothesize that these three receptors represent a nutrient sensing mechanism that is activated during carbon starvation. (AU)

Among the neglected diseases, leishmaniasis ranks second in mortality. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported 300,000 cases of visceral leishmaniasis and over 20,000 deaths annually. Among those affected by visceral leishmaniasis, most of the patients are children under 10 years old. The nanostructured systems have the potential to deliver the drug in a specific target as well as ...
This project willlook at developing new statistical models for survival analysis that exploit the analytical and numerical properties of an overlooked key function: the cumulative hazard function. These analytical properties are very powerful and well understood from the convex analysis point of view but, perhaps surprisingly, they have not been so far exploited for statistical modellin...
The dynamics of fluid droplets can be extremely complex. In particular, in a set of experiments it was found that droplets may bounce on a vibrating fluid bath of the same fluid and under some circumstances become mobile, driven by their own wave-field. In this case, the droplet and its "pilot wave" form a single object close to what de Broglie envisioned as a model for particle-wave du...
