Diesel engines are one of the most popular reciprocating on market today owing to their great thermal efficiency and dependability in energy conversion. Growing concerns about depletion fossil resources, fluctuating prices market, environmental issues have prompted search for renewable fuels with higher efficiencies compared conventional fuels.

In Brazil, sector has become main market for absorbing around 712 thousand tons in 2018, equivalent to 38% fat produced. order reach this level, research and development were carried out supported by Brazilian government thro...

Trans-fatty acids, commonly referred to as trans fats, were discovered in the early 20th century with development of hydrogenation – a chemical process that converts liquid vegetable oil into solid fats. Initially perceived healthier alternative saturated fats due their stability during cooking and longer shelf life, more recent research has linked number adverse health outcomes.1There are two ...

In 1955 Fearnley and Lackner (2) demonstrated the presence in human plasma of "spontaneous fibrinolysis. ''1 They reported that this activity was thermolabile, that dilution of the plasma increased its degree, and that either exogenous epinephrine or mild exercise resulted in increased activity (1, 2). A previous study from this laboratory reported significant inhibition of such fibrinolysis af...
