Abstract
Bemisia tabaci is a significant global agricultural pest, primarily due to its role as a vector for plant viruses. Among these, tomato severe rugose virus (ToSRV) is one of the most prevalent begomoviruses affecting tomato crops in Brazil. In conditions of high inoculum and vector pressure, ToSRV can cause damage, with yield losses reaching up to 100%. Current control strategies predomina…

Abstract
Local droplet etching (LDE) has been established as a powerful method to produce solid state semiconductor single photon and entangled photons pairs inherently compatible with established semiconductor technology. In this proposal we aim to develop a single photon source emitting at telecom C-band, extending the LDE fabrication approach from the (In)GaAs/AlGaAs system to the III-Sb materi…

Abstract
Microalgae and cyanobacteria exhibit economic and biotechnological relevance, being widely commercialized as functional food and nutritional supplement for humans and animals. This proposal implies on investigation of this biotechnological potential considering a strain of green microalgae - Chlorolobion lunulatum, and a strain of cyanobacteria - Rhabdoderma lineare. We justified the choi…

Abstract
Fungi of the genus Candida are part of the human microbiota, but they are also responsible for invasive infections, which can affect the central nervous system (CNS). The fungal cell or derivatives, such as extracellular vesicles, can interact with resident cells and still activate immune responses, affecting homeostasis and inflammatory processes in the CNS. We hypothesized that after in…
