1. Operating Model and Estimation of the Insurance Premium for an Energy Futures Clearing House in Brazil
Abstract Purpose We propose and analyze a new operating model for an energy futures exchange that could be implemented in Brazil, where there is low liquidity for these contracts. The clearing house temporarily assumes the position of customers who fail to answer the margin call, instead of closing the position, as would normally be done under normal condit

2. Comparison of minimal-flow sevoflurane versus desflurane anesthesia: randomized clinical trial
Abstract Background and objectives: Minimal-flow anesthesia provides various advantages, such as reduced environmental pollution, proper humidification and warming of anesthetic gases, and reduced costs. The aim of this study was to compare the cost-effectiveness of minimal-flow sevoflurane and desflurane anesthesia and their effects on hemodynamics, postop

3. Multi-stage dumping sequence - a feasible waste management alternative for open pit mining
Abstract Waste management and environmental aspects are progressively gathering attention in the mining industry. Mine planners must deal with increasingly complex tasks to balance between ore block schedules, waste disposal, operational cost and environmental reclamation. The mine incomes are generally related to mining and processing of the ore, thus most

4. FAST DETERMINATION OF THE SULFUR SPECIES IN SOLID PHASE SYSTEMS BY A TPO-IR METHOD
Qualitative and quantitative assessment of total sulfur and sulfur species in solid phase is necessarily important for development of effective desulfurization methods, reduction of environmental pollution, and prevention of catalyst poisoned. In this work, TPO-IR (Temperature Programmed Oxidation- Infrared) method was used for rapid determination of sulfur

5. Preoperative Arterial and Venous Cannulation in Redo Cardiac Surgery: From the Safety and Cost-effectiveness Points of View
Abstract Objective: To investigate the safety and cost-effectiveness of preoperative cannulation and conventional approach techniques. Methods: Sixty-one patients who underwent redo open cardiac procedures between September 2015 and November 2018 were divided into two groups - Group A (n: 30), patients who underwent conventional cannulation after sternotom

6. RAPID DETECTION OF VITAMIN C CONTENT IN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES USING A DIGITAL CAMERA AND COLOR REACTION
In this study, we propose a novel method to determine the vitamin C content in fruits and vegetables. The proposed method exploits the image and data processing abilities of computers by coupling a digital camera and a color reaction. An image acquisition device was developed to collect the image information of the solution to be measured after the color rea

7. Development of a low-cost alternative for the monitoring of the ore hauling production indicators in small-scale mining
Abstract Small and medium-sized mining represent an important part of a country's min eral economy. These companies, although substantial and numerous, have low invest ment potential in their development through new technologies. One of the problems small and medium mining companies face is the ore hauling production monitoring. This operation alone can cons

8. CONSTRUÇÃO DE UM SUPORTE AJUSTÁVEL LAB-MADE IMPRESSO EM 3D PARA MEDIÇÃO DE ÂNGULO DE CONTATO
Advances in the use of 3D printing technology have led to the development of new low-cost devices. This technology features high versatility, considering the easy modulation of the materials depending on its objectives and applications. In this sense, we have developed a laboratory-built contact angle measuring device (lab-made). The device was composed by t

9. Should ethanol be considered a treatment for COVID-19?
Abstract This paper describes the analysis of the effects of a frequency selective surface (FSS) on the characteristics of a microstrip line fed antenna with a bow-tie slot in the ground plane for operation in the frequency range 1 to 10 GHz. The use of the FSS is proposed to miniaturize the antenna structure and increase the number of resonance frequencies

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
