4. Compact, Broadband, and Omnidirectional Antenna Array for Millimeter-Wave Communication Systems
Abstract In this paper, a millimeter-wave printed quadrupole antenna is proposed. It consists of two symmetric printed dipoles that make the quadrupole radiating power omnidirectionally. Such an arrangement eliminates the influence of the ground as reflector. Simulation results show that the quadrupole antenna exhibits a broad impedance bandwidth and an enha

7. COST OF AERIAL AND GROUND SPRAYINGS AND TECHNOLOGICAL REPLACEMENT POINT: A CASE STUDY IN THE REGION OF MINEIROS, GO, BRAZIL
ABSTRACT One of the main costs in agriculture is related to mechanized operations, which, in turn, are associated with the capital invested in machinery and equipment, the scale of production, and the operating efficiency. Thus, the choice of technology to carry out these operations must take these factors into account to minimize the production cost. In thi

11. APLICAÇÃO DE NANOPARTÍCULAS DE FERRO ZERO-VALENTE (nFeZ) NA REMEDIAÇÃO DE SOLOS E ÁGUAS SUBTERRÂNEAS CONTAMINADAS: UMA REVISÃO
The remediation of contaminated soil and water is a relevant topic, being the focus of intense research. The use of nanoparticles to degrade contaminants has been consolidated as a sustainable remediation technology, with promising results worldwide. In this scenario, the zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) which, due to their properties, prove to be an im

12. Increased power efficiency in mining by using high-fidelity haul truck simulation
Abstract The current economic and political scenario in Brazil has allowed small, medium and large companies to adopt cost cutdown and productivity increase strategies. Diesel fuel consumption by off-highway haul trucks stands for one of the largest costs at the Sossego Mine operational management department. Based on this fact, as well as on the 8% increase
