Analysis of photographs of building facades can help map high-risk urban areas for dengue

The methodology was developed by Brazilian and British researchers, who tested it in Campinas, a large city in São Paulo state. Its aim is to optimize monitoring and combating the mosquito Aedes aegypti.

The nickel phosphide electrode proved effective and efficient as a catalyst in processes designed to produce H2 via water molecule breakdown.


A research project led by the State University of Campinas investigated how manipulation of native species in this Brazilian savanna-like biome can prevent reinvasion of restored areas by exotic grasses. The results emphasize the importance of fostering species diversity.

Hans Jürgen Herrmann, professor emeritus at ETH Zurich’s Institute of Building Materials in Switzerland, spoke about “The Life of Dunes” in the first event of the series FAPESP Lectures 2024.

A study of the São Paulo city center in Brazil proposed guidelines and specified stakeholder roles for reducing the number of tree failures, which average 2,000 per year there.
