1. Technological properties of a self-bloating clay and expanded-clay aggregate for the production of lightweight concrete
Abstract The global interest in an increasingly sustainable economy, with a reduction in the consumption of raw materials and energy, can be supported by the growth in the use of lightweight concrete (LC) produced with expanded-clay aggregates (EA). The main qualities of natural self-bloating clay for the production of EA were studied, analyzing the paramete

3. Chemometric Evaluation of Poly(3-hexylthiophene) Electrochemical Aging Path as a Function of Electrochemical Synthesis Variables
Conductive polymers are versatile materials that can be applied in many different technology fields, especially green energy. They have several advantages, such as easy synthesis, low density, and cost. However, its electric conduction property is also related to material aging with great loss of their characteristics, limiting their applicability. The in-de

5. Gold Nanorods Capped with Different Ammonium Bromide Salts on the Catalytic Chemical Reduction of p-Nitrophenol
It is known that the reactivity of the nanocatalytic systems is related to the particle size and shape and also to the features of the capping agents on the nanostructures. In this study, gold nanorods (AuNRs) were synthesized by the seed-mediated method using different tetra-alkylammonium bromide salts as capping agents, that are, cetyltrimethylammonium (CT

6. Unified comprehension of the kinetics of isothermal ceramic processes under field-free and resonant wave-field conditions
Abstract This paper proposes a unified comprehension of the isothermal ceramic process kinetics stemming from mesoscopic irreversible thermodynamics. Accordingly, a unified process kinetic equation (UPKE) is derived, which predicts that the global isothermal process rate of any ceramic process is, in general, nonlinearly related both to its activation energy

7. A single session of low-volume high-intensity interval and moderate-intensity continuous exercise elicits a transient reduction in ghrelin levels, but not in post-exercise energy intake in obese men
ABSTRACT Objective: This study investigated the acute effects of high-intensity interval (HIIE) and moderate-intensity continuous (MICE) exercise on ghrelin levels in obese men. Subjects and methods: A total of 10 obese men (age 27.6 ± 1.8 years, body mass index 35.4 ± 4.5 kg/m², body fat 39.9 ± 2.1%) performed two exercise sessions in a randomized ord

8. Technological innovation in Córrego do Sítio Mineração - A study of technical and economic aspects by using sensor-based sorting for refractory gold ore
Abstract The mining sector has a fundamental financial and economical role in the country where it practices these activities. In addition to employment creation and social-cultural development, the mining sector brings economic growth to the country. However, the sector is facing challenges due to COVID-19, incidents involving tailings dam facilities, risin

9. Strategies used to control the costs of underground ventilation in some Brazilian mines
Abstract In an underground mine, the ventilation is responsible for 25% to 50% of its electrical energy consumption. In countries such as South Africa, United States and Canada researchers have started to achieve a significant reduction in energy consumption without neglecting aspects of the quantity and quality of air required for the best performance of th

10. THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF TAMARIND SEEDS (Tamarindus indica L.)
ABSTRACT Tamarind is used in the food and pharmaceutical industry, and its seed is the main means for the reproduction of this species, thus justifying studies that ensure its post-harvest viability. This research aimed to study the thermodynamic properties of tamarind seeds as a function of the equilibrium moisture content. The experimental data of the wate

11. Multi-Step-Ahead Spectrum Prediction for Cognitive Radio in Fading Scenarios
Abstract This paper analyzes multi-step-ahead spectrum prediction for Cognitive Radio (CR) systems using several future states. A slot-based scenario is used, and prediction is based on the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. The aim is to determine whether multi-step-ahead spectrum prediction has gains in terms of reduced channel-switching and increased

12. Effects of yacon flour associated with an energy restricted diet on intestinal permeability, fecal short chain fatty acids, oxidative stress and inflammation markers levels in adults with obesity or overweight: a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial
ABSTRACT Objectives Yacon flour is rich in bioactive compounds (phenolic compounds and fructooligosaccharides (FOS)), and may therefore reduce the risk of diseases associated with excess body weight. However, its effect on fecal short chain fatty acids (SCFA), intestinal permeability, oxidative stress and inflammation markers has not been studied in adult
