| Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive degenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that mainly affects people over 65 years of age, resulting in loss of memory and cognitive functions such as language, attention, orientation and reasoning. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 24.3 million people worldwide suffered from AD and other types of dementia in 2007, with a doubling of this number every 20 years. That Organization also stresses that the impact of AD in develo Status: Completed Start date: Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |

This project also aims to implement Technical Reference Units (TRU) for the reproductive management of piraruc ... Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
| This proposal seeks to facilitate technological solutions for competitive cattle farming, making rational use of the environment and regional resources while preserving the flora and fauna of the Cerrado, the Amazon and the Pantanal. The cattle industry plays a significant social and economic role, generating over 6 million jobs and contributing over $ 3 billion to the country's exports. The Cerrado is currently the leading region for livestock and at this moment there is an opportunity to estab Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| The effects of climate change can negatively affect productivity in agricultural and forest crops,and lead to a loss of biological diversity in tropical forests. On the other hand, forests areknown to be important in removing and storing carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in the soil and biomass,consume methane (CH 4 ), and have low emissions of nitrous oxide (N 2 O). Forests help regulatethe climate, provide ecosystem services, and are also related to the commitments contained inthe Paris Agreement, an int Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
| Pepper (Capsicum spp.) is a high-yield commodity in Togo(Maatman, and the Al., 2011). The local pepper varieties are preferred and widely consumed, but there are no commercial seeds available in the market, or a Capsicum breeding program in Togo. Farmers themselves perpetuate the local varieties by collecting seeds of commercial fruits for the next sowing. Through a participatory research approach, this project aims at: 1) Selecting two local red pepper varieties and two bell pepper varieties th Status: Completed Start date: Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| Despite the importance of soils, in Brazil few maps and respective reports are published at ascale of 1:100.000 or with even greater precision. Technicians and rural producersconsequently do not have access to specific data about soil characteristics, and especiallyabout the changes that can be seen in these landscapes. Because of this lack of data, manyrural areas are often seen to be used incorrectly, leading to losses of important ecologicalfunctions.

| Ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass corresponds to the second generation of biofuels, and is a promising technology under development. The cost of the enzymes for the enzymatic hydrolysis is one of the major constraints for obtaining second generation ethanol. Therefore, the search for new technologies for increasing ethanol production should be focused on organisms capable of synthesizing enzymes involved in the degradation of plant fiber, i.e. the degradation of cellulose, hemicell Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| The growing demand for a sustainable energy matrix and the need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels make the energy obtained from biomass a prominent option. The major uses of biomass as energetic input are the production of thermal energy (direct combustion, charcoal and residues), production of mechanic energy (alcohol and bio-oils), production of electricity (through combustion, gasification or gas burning), and production of other components of the so called green chemistry (bioproducts and Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| Brazil has the second-largest area of total forest cover in the world, but is in ninth place interms of planted forests. Still, these are responsible for 91% of the total amount of woodproduced for industrial purposes in the country. Brazil's area of eucalyptus plantationsincreased 75% between 2004 and 2015, and the greatest mean annual increases in plantedarea were seen in the central region of the country (over 90,000 ha/yr); this was the second-largest in terms of area currently planted, quad Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
