1. Development and implementation of a COVID-19 convalescent plasma program in a middle-income economy
Abstract Introduction Convalescent Plasma therapy is one of the therapeutic strategies that has been used for patients with the Covid-19 disease. Implementing a program with national extension to supply hospitals with this blood component is a great challenge mainly in a middle-income economy. Objectives Our objective was to develop and implement a Covid-1

3. Obtainment of a new metal matrix composite from the recycling of UNS S31803 duplex stainless steel by powder metallurgy
Abstract The purpose of circular economy is to maximize resources efficiency. With the increase in consumption of raw materials, energy and waste generation, recycling is necessary for environmental and industrial reasons. Thus, the powder metallurgy, together with mechanical milling, stands as a new method for scraps recycling. This study aimed to produce U

4. Water footprint of Arabica coffee from “Matas de Minas” under shade management
ABSTRACT Studies related to climate change and agricultural value chains have in common the growing concern on conserving water resources. Thus, the concept of the water footprint stands out, which measures the amount of water (in volume) necessary to produce a unit (in mass) of a given product. Among Brazilian agricultural activities, coffee farming emerges

5. Phytonematode population dynamics in common bean cultivation under crop rotation and no-tillage conditions
ABSTRACT Strategies for conserving natural resources and reducing agricultural inputs are the great challenge for agriculture, such as sustainable alternatives to control agricultural pests of high economic impact, e.g. plant-parasitic nematodes. This work aimed to evaluate phytonematode’s population dynamics in common bean cultivation grown under crop rot

6. The role of the surgeon in treating patients with lung cancer. An updating article
ABSTRACT Lung cancer is a type of neoplasia with one of the highest incidences worldwide and is the largest cause of mortality due to cancer in the world today. It is classified according to its histological and biological characteristics, which will determine its treatment and prognosis. Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for 85% of the cases, and these ar

7. TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF USING A VARIABLE-FREQUENCY DRIVE IN MICRO-IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
ABSTRACT Irrigation is essential for the development of crops in regions with scarcity or irregular rainfall distribution, enabling high productivity. However, the use of water resources and electrical energy leads to a concern with irrigation efficiency. Pressure demand varies during the operations of irrigation systems and the appropriate pressure can be r

8. Analysis of carbonation and hydration of BOF steel slag for application as railway ballast
Abstract The reutilization of waste is a valuable alternative for the preservation of natural resources and the environment. In this sense, Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) steel slag is one of the most residues generated in steel the industry. It is estimated that for each ton of steel produced, about 150 kg of steel slag is generated in the BOF process. Generall

9. Saliva is a reliable, non-invasive specimen for SARS-CoV-2 detection
Abstract Background Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although Real Time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) of respiratory specimens is the gold standard test for detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection, collecting nasopharyngeal swabs causes discomfort to patie

10. SIMULATING THE EFFECT OF PERMANENT PRESERVATION AREAS ON SOIL EROSION RATES
ABSTRACT Water erosion is one of the main problems faced by the Furnas Lake Surrounding Watershed, located in southeast Brazil. The erosive process is intensified by inadequate land occupation of the lake margins where should be riparian forests, or permanent preservation areas (APP), in order to protect water resources. In this context, our work aimed to es

11. Growth and yield of soybean cultivated in agroforestry systems
ABSTRACT Agriculture has caused numerous concerns regarding the preservation of natural resources. In this context, agroforestry systems are emerging as a more sustainable alternative. The present study aimed to evaluate growth characteristics, radiation use efficiency, biomass partition, and yield of soybean grown in two agroforestry systems and full sun. A

12. Two-dimensional beams in rectangular coordinates using the radial point interpolation method
Abstract The three-dimensional Theory of Elasticity equations lead to a complex solution for most problems in engineering. Therefore, the solutions are typically developed for reduced systems, usually symmetrical or two-dimensional. In this context, computational resources allow the reduction of these simplifications. The most recognized methods of algebraic
