Waste electrical and electronic equipment (e-waste) is a current global challenge due to its exponential growth, toxic potential and precious/rare materials in its composition lost when landfilled. These challenges make ...

In this work, the feldspar used as a flux in typical porcelain was replaced by waste glass, and the resulting batch composition contained 50% kaolin, 25% quartz and 25% waste glass. The properties of this porcelain with ...

A velocidade crescente com que aumentam o numero de computadores interconectados entre locais distantes torna evidente a necessidade de uma gerencia neste ambiente. Particularmente para redes com algumas centenas de maquinas ...

Brazil is characterized by highly diverse biomes, hydrologic regimes and water uses. The relevance of irrigated agriculture in the county's economy, combined with the significant contribution of hydropower to the electricity ...

The presence of drugs and their metabolites in surface waters and municipal effluents has been reported in several studies, but its impacts on aquatic organisms are not yet well understood. This study investigated the ...

Water scarcity is one of the most significant challenges of our time, and scenarios predicted by leading scientists in this area indicate that it will worsen in the next decades. New technologies based on seawater desalination ...

We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the diffusion of water inside deformed carbon nanotubes with different degrees of deformation at 300 K. We found that the number of hydrogen bonds that water forms depends on ...

Regular tools used to characterize the phytoplankton community structure are taxonomic composition, diversity of species and the classification of organisms according to their size. The main objective of this study was to ...

Given its potentialities and characteristics, energy generation, food production, and water availability have a strong interdependency and correlation. Water is needed to produce energy and food, while energy is required ...
