1. Effects of plaster to water ratio on physical and mechanical properties of ceramic pieces produced by the slip casting process
Abstract In the slip casting process, the relationship between the amount of plaster and water used in the production of molds influences the production of ceramic materials, because the higher the water content in the mixture, the lower the mechanical strength of the mold and higher the water absorption rate. In order to evaluate the influence of the variat

2. Extraction and Characterization of Pequi Seed Oil for Biodiesel Production: A Green Management of Waste to Biofuel Using Ethanol and Heterogeneous Catalysis
This work reports the characterization of a vegetable oil extracted from pequi seeds, an agroindustrial residue, and its biodiesel production using ethanol and heterogeneous catalysis. The pequi seeds showed 40.73 wt.% of extractive content, which represents a large amount of the biomass composition. The crude oil extracted from the pequi seeds with ethanol

3. Agronomic biofortification with iodine in lettuce plants cultivated in floating hydroponic system
ABSTRACT Iodine is essential to human metabolism, being fundamental in the production of the thyroid hormones. The consumption of biofortified foods can contribute to the increase of its intake. The objective of this study was to increase the iodine concentration in lettuce, also evaluating its effects on plant growth and production. The experiment was condu

4. Fruit quality and genetic diversity of Spondias dulcis accessions
ABSTRACT Among the less exploited Brazilian native fruit trees, the Spondias dulcis (cajá-manga) has many uses, being their fruits appreciated in fresh consumption and its pulp used in popsicles, ice-creams, and jellies production. However, there is a lack of research on this species, being necessary more studies. This work aimed to characterize the physica

5. Water uptake of soybean pods and seeds with different lignin contents
ABSTRACT The identification of pod- and seed-related traits of soybean genotypes and their interaction with water uptake can be applied in breeding programs with a view to establishing cultivars developed for the production and maintenance of high-quality seeds. The objective was to evaluate the water uptake of pods and seeds of soybean cultivars with differ

6. Biochar and swine wastewater: Effects on soil fertility of different textures and corn nutrition
ABSTRACT The use of organic waste in agriculture has stimulated the search for technologies that reduce environmental pollution. Among the residues are the biochar and swine wastewater (SW), which incorrectly disposed cause negative impacts, however, when combined, they can enhance agricultural production, due to the synergism between both. In this sense, th

7. Severity of target spot and gas-exchange in tomato cultivated under colored films
ABSTRACT The tomato target spot caused by Corynespora cassiicola may have an important economic impact on tomato production in tropical regions. The objective of this work was to study the effect of different colored plastic films on tomato target spot severity, gas-exchange, and fruit yield. Disease severity, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, trans

8. Steel desulfurization on RH degasser: physical and mathematical modeling
Abstract Due to the high-quality steel demand, especially for ultra-low Sulfur steel, RH desulfurization has been practiced. Based on this, mathematical and physical modeling have been applied to study steel desulfurization by reagent addition in the RH degasser vacuum chamber. The main result of cold modeling, using water and oil emulating steel and slag, r

9. Development of innovation routes for iron ore using high intensity magnetic separators
Abstract The mineral processing of low-grade iron ores commonly generates large volumes of slime, which are disposed as tailings. Modern mining requires strives to eliminate the use of tailings dams in a maximum effort to increase metallurgical recovery, the security and reduction of the operational cost. This research aims for the recovery of iron contained

10. Morphophysiological adjustments to shade of jaboticaba tree saplings
ABSTRACT We aimed to verify the morphophysiological changes in jaboticaba tree (Plinia peruviana (Poir.) Govaerts) saplings under shade gradient to improve knowledge on the appropriate light environmental conditions for the saplings production and field homogeneous or intercropping cultivation of this species. The saplings were grown under full sun and artif

11. Iron Cobaltite (FeCo2O4) Nanocatalysts for Water-Oxidation: Effects of Annealing Temperature on Catalytic Properties
The development of efficient, stable, and non-precious metal water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) is a matter of importance for sustainable energy research. In this work, iron cobaltite (FeCo2O4) nanoparticles were prepared by the coprecipitation method, and we present the effect of heat treatment (250, 350, 450, 650 and 900 °C) on the catalytic properties.

12. Physical-chemical characterization, bioactive compounds, and antioxidant activity of pulp and peel of the Jamelão
ABSTRACT The high production of jamelão (Syzygium cumini) during harvest and the lack of information about it emphasize the development of new processing technologies for this fruit since it has been proven that its different parts have functional properties. The objectives of this work were to evaluate the physical-chemical characteristics and to determine
