Anthropogenic pollution of groundwater and surface water has become a very serious environmental problem around the world. A wide range of toxic pollutants is recalcitrant to the conventional treatment methods, thus there is much interest in the development of more efficient remediation processes. Degradation of organic pollutants by zero-valent iron is one of the most promising approaches for water treatment, mainly because it is of low cost, easy to obtain and effective. After a general introduction to water pollution and current treatments, this work highlights the advances, applications and future trends of water remediation by zero-valent iron. Special attention is given to degradation of organochloride and nitroaromatic compounds, which are commonly found in textile and paper mill effluents.

This paper presents the discovery of the oldest Roman camp on the Iberian Peninsula, a camp from the Second Punic War situated in La Palma (Tarragona, Spain), by the mouth of the River Ebro. Although no structural remains have been found, the site's strategic in- terest along with many coins, arms and fragments of amphoras and other objects indicate that a military camp was established here between 218 and 209 BC. Written sources, mainly Polybius and Livy, suggest that La Palma was where the legions of Publius Cornelius Scipio gathered before the attack on Carthago Nova in 209 BC. The paper ends by suggesting that La Palma may be the Roman camp of Nova Classis mentioned by Livy during the events of the war in 217 BC.

The discussions sponsored by the Brazilian Chemical Society, over the past five years, intending to produce a chemistry agenda with perspectives and needs for the next decade for the country, have involved the national chemistry community and several related sectors of Brazilian society. Chemistry education has been the theme throughout these discussions. It is known that the low level of basic and secondary education and the recent increase in high school courses and institutions adversely affect the quality of undergraduate teaching. The recent national "Curriculum Guidelines" for Chemistry Courses, through their flexible approach, encourage the integral, interdisciplinary (non compartmentalized) and critical-reflexive training of professionals as citizens and as entrepreneurs. However, deficiencies are still recognized. The system of undergraduate course evaluation has identified the most fragile modalities of the courses and other indicators. Also, it has been verified that the Brazilian chemistry industry absorbs only minimally the highly qualified professionals, which is attributed to the fact that the Federal Council of Chemistry is vertically organized and does not recognize the graduate degrees as professional qualifications. In conclusion, the importance of the effective implantation of the national curriculum guidelines is apparent, among other aspects, highlighting courses whose didactical and pedagogical projects may offer a solid formation in Chemistry. However, at the same time the guidelines are comprehensive and general enough to enable the chemistry professionals to develop varied skills.

alpha-Bromoacetophenones are important in organic synthesis. They have been widely used as precursors of several natural products. Several methods of bromination aiming at their synthesis have been described, however they furnish a mixture of starting material 10, mono 8 and dibromide 11 products. We developed a novel, simple and efficient synthesis of these compounds with applications in the synthesis of benzoylbenzofurans 9, compounds with important pharmacological properties, such as the ability of dilating the coronary artery and analgesic action. Such compounds have also been used as key intermediates to obtain quinone systems.

Quan el 1602 els diputats ordenen una nova visura de les obres d'ampliació del Palau de la Generalitat, s'està de fet qüestionant la primitiva traça de Pere Blai. Hom posa en joc tot un seguit de categories, d'acord amb un nou estil visual d'arrel renaixentista que prima la mirada. En són requeriments: els costos econòmics, la visualització de l'edifici –valor de la imatge d'acord amb una intencionada representació del poder civil– i la seva individualització en el teixit urbà –d'aquí, el propòsit d'alliberar l'espai d'una plaça. El Memorial de 1603 s'insereix en una llarga i intricada seqüència. El document, d'interès pel cabal intrínsec d'informació projectual i constructiva, ho és també per a l'exegesi del model clàssic, del seu grau de comprensió i utilització al llindar del segle XVII en l'àmbit del Principat

Els RNA (o ARN, àcids ribonucleics) són biomolècules lineals de cadena senzilla, com un fil, formades per la unió seqüencial d'altres molècules més senzilles, els nucleòtids. Abans de la descoberta del fenòmen de RNAi es creia que el RNA era només un intermediari silenciós de la maquinària genètica, que transportava cegament les instruccions dels gens, en descodificava el missatge i el convertia en proteïnes, procés que es coneix amb el nom de flux d'informació genètica (del gen, que emmagatzema la informació i és format per ADN, a les proteïnes, que fan la feina especificada pel gen) [...].

Least-squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) were used as an alternative multivariate calibration method for the simultaneous quantification of some common adulterants found in powdered milk samples, using near-infrared spectroscopy. Excellent models were built using LS-SVM for determining R², RMSECV and RMSEP values. LS-SVMs show superior performance for quantifying starch, whey and sucrose in powdered milk samples in relation to PLSR. This study shows that it is possible to determine precisely the amount of one and two common adulterants simultaneously in powdered milk samples using LS-SVM and NIR spectra.

Quimica Nova and the Journal of the Brazilian Chemical Society are two examples of successful initiatives taken by the Brazilian Chemical Society (SBQ - Sociedade Brasileira de Química), and may serve as models for the scientific societies of developing countries. Pillars of the SBQ, these two periodicals are undeniable demonstrations that idealism, utopia and dignity are the essential ingredients for transforming dreams into reality. Few believed that the Brazilian chemical community would one day have, as it does today, two scientific research periodicals indexed in the principal international data banks.

Els avenços tecnològics de les àrees de la informació i la comunicació estan propiciant un canvi cultural important que repercuteix directament en el món de l'aprenentatge i de l¿ensenyament. L'aprenentatge instrumental d'aquestes tecnologies de la informació i la comunicació (TIC) a priori i l'aprenentatge a través d'aquestes tecnologies amb la finalitat d'accedir a un major coneixement ha provocat que el procés d'ensenyament i aprenentatge s'estengui al llarg de la vida («Life long learning») de qualsevol persona que, per la seva professió, necessiti actualitzar els seus coneixements. Per això, com es podrà apreciar en el present article, les noves línies d'investigació s¿orienten envers dos tipus d'estudi: optimitzar el disseny dels sistemes d'e-learning i analitzar els aspectes diferencials dels e-learners. A més, en l¿article, se¿ns dóna a conèixer com s'està desenvolupant el camp de l'aprenentatge virtual en aquest moment, en particular en l'àmbit de les universitats europees.

This work presents the VALIDATION SPREADSHEET, a public domain tool that can be used to evaluate the figures of merit for univariate analytical methods. A real example of BTEX determination in environmental samples is included to illustrate its use. The spreadsheet has been developed for Excel® and Open Office®, and is available on the internet at http//lqta.iqm.unicamp.br.

This work is a literature review of PBTAs, the phenylbenzotriazoles generated from the reduction and chlorination of azo dyes. The PBTAs and the non- chlorinated PBTAs were isolated for the first time from river blue rayon organic extracts that showed high mutagenic activity in the Salmonella/microsome genotoxicity assay. To date, 8 PBTAs have been identified and beside their mutagenic activity in bacteria they cause genotoxic effects in fish and mammalian cell cultures. Due to the large number of textile dyeing facilities in Brazil, studies to determine them in the aquatic environment seem to be relevant.
