1. Study of soils used with subgrade and sub-ballast in Brazilian railways
Abstract Brazil has an extremely limited railroad network compared to other developed and developing countries. There are projects to expand this mesh. Knowing that the cost of implementing a railroad is high, research for solutions that allow cost reduction is of great importance. But the parameters of the materials used in the subgrade and sub-ballast laye

3. 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

4. Evaluation of the influence of sodium and magnesium lignosulfonates on the hydration kinetics of cementitious paste
Abstract Motivated by their low cost, lignosulfonate-based water reducers are the most used type of admixture in the concrete industry worldwide. Due to the plurality of types of lignosulfonates (LSs) and the recent update to the Brazilian standard for admixtures for concrete, the objective of this work was to investigate the impact of sodium (Na-LS) and mag

5. 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

7. ERRATA
Abstract After natural fermentation and solar drying, sour cassava starch acquires expansion property. Traditionally, solar drying occurs without protection, and consequently physical contamination can arise. Thus, the aim of this study was to produce sour cassava starch using a low-cost solar dryer to prevent contamination, whilst retaining the expansion pr
