The Amapá state has extensive forests and savannas, which are important carbon stocks being negatively affected due to agricultural, forestry and industrial activities. Thus the project aims to develop a methodology applicable to the entire State of Amapá, aiming to reach all types of existing vegetation, being the basis for estimates of forest biomass and the quantification of carbon stocks, in addition to enabling the monitoring of changes caused on biomass due to the economic activities de ...Status: Completed Start date: Thu Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2016 |
| Since Brazil has a strong prospect of becoming a major exporter of dairy products, the production chain of milk needs to prepare to overcome obstacles such as non-tariff barriers related to food safety and quality assurance. Thus, this project aimed to gather information and develop methodologies for addressing such a challenge. One of the goals was the physicochemical and microbiological characterization of four dairy products (Minas Standard cheese, curd cheese, condensed milk, and whey powder Status: Completed Start date: Tue Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |

| Spectroscopy, which is always associated with chemometrics, is a versatile technique that is applied in several areas of science. It is fast, non-destructive, low-cost and, in addition, “clean”, requiring few or no reagents. The latter factor aligns the tool with green chemistry.

Waste recycling is common in agriculture nowadays on different scales, depending on chain organization, available technologies, and environmental and health regulations. Just to mention two figures, in 2009 the sugarcane-ethanol chain produced 604 billion liters of vinasse and 201 million tons of bagasse and filter cake. Although the bagasse is burnt to generate energy and the vinasse is a fertilizer, many challenges remain. The objective of this project is to assess the potential to transfor ...Status: Completed Start date: Wed May 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| Computation used as a tool by scientific research has revolutionized the biological sciences, as it has done with many other fields of science, and considering the exponentially increasing amount and complexity of the scientific data being generated and needing to be efficiently handled, translated, processed and communicated, new computational resources are needed for the effective treatment of all this volume of data that makes it possible to transform it into knowledge and subsequently, as th Status: Completed Start date: Fri Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
