6. Alumina applied in bone regeneration: Porous α-alumina and transition alumina
Abstract Alumina is a polymorphic bioceramic that has been extensively investigated for application in bone regeneration. Dense α-alumina has been considered a suitable biomaterial for dental and orthopedic implants due to its superior mechanical properties. However, its use is limited due to its high inertia in a biological environment. Recent investigatio

11. Job precariousness: supply chain management in a waste pickers association
Resumo Waste pickers are key players within municipal solid waste management and an important link in the recycling chain. Waste pickers perform their activities in precarious conditions: they work in bad weather; run the risk of traffic accidents; come in contact with insects that transmit disease and suffer from weight overload. These conditions are aggrav

12. Radially Periodic Metasurface Lenses for Magnetic Field Collimation in Resonant Wireless Power Transfer Applications
Abstract In this paper, a new procedure and topology of magnetic metasurface lens are proposed for improving the performance of Resonant Wireless Power Transfer systems. Firstly, three subwave-length unit cells are optimized in order to get negative magnetic permeability in the same frequency, each one with a different refractive index, and they are experime
