13. In silico Evaluation of Cucurbit[6]uril as a Potential Detector for Cocaine and Its Adulterants Lidocaine, Caffeine, and Procaine
Illicit drugs and their trafficking require worldwide efforts in investigation, detection, and control. Colorimetric tests are often applied to identify drugs. Cocaine has some well-known adulterants that can provide a false positive response. Cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) has been suggested as a potential detector for cocaine and other illicit drugs. This work us

14. IEEE 802.11b/g Practical Assessment Using a Low-Cost Quasi-Yagi Rectenna for Indoor RF Energy Harvesting
Abstract This article presents an experimental analysis of the use of signals transmitted by Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11b/g standards for Radio Frequency Energy Harvesting (RFEH) applications in indoor environments employing a Quasi-Yagi Rectenna (QYR) topology. This analysis is a crucial point to distinguish the use of the I

15. Evaluation of the Direct Interaction between Amino Acids and Glutathione-Coated CdTe Quantum Dots and Application in Urinalysis for Histidine Determination
The present work aimed to direct amino acid (AA) sensing by quantum dots (QD) and development of an analytical method for potential fast clinical tests. Notably, AA with a positive charge or neutral polar chains, namely L-histidine (His) and L-threonine (Thr), responded to glutathione-coated CdTe (GSH-CdTe) (ΔF ≤ 90%, variation of fluorescence intensity).

16. TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF USING A VARIABLE-FREQUENCY DRIVE IN MICRO-IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
ABSTRACT Irrigation is essential for the development of crops in regions with scarcity or irregular rainfall distribution, enabling high productivity. However, the use of water resources and electrical energy leads to a concern with irrigation efficiency. Pressure demand varies during the operations of irrigation systems and the appropriate pressure can be r

17. INTRODUÇÃO ÀS REDES NEURAIS PARA REGRESSÕES NÃO-LINEARES: AJUSTE DE SUPERFÍCIES DE ENERGIA POTENCIAL
The present work demonstrates how neural networks are used to do non-linear regressions. The technique is presented in a simple and didactic manner and applied to fit potential energy surfaces for the FeC molecule and for the reaction H + H2. It shows how to do the fitting for single- and multi-variable system providing examples and code that can be easily e

18. Er3+/Yb3+-Doped GdVO4 Obtained by the Non-Hydrolytic Sol-Gel Route and Potential Application as Up-Conversion Thermometer
The properties of lanthanides allow them to be used as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, thereby helping to differentiate between tissues, organs, and pathologies more efficiently. Lanthanides contain thermosensitive energy levels that aid identification of cancer and healthy cells. This work investigates the GdVO4 matrix obtained by the non-hy

19. Aqueous Extract of Cumaru (Dipteryx odorata) Seeds as Corrosion Inhibitor for Mild Steel in Hydrochloric Acid Solution
The corrosion inhibition of mild steel by aqueous extract of cumaru (Dipteryx odorata) seeds and its high molecular weight fraction (HMWF) was investigated in 1 mol L-1 HCl solution. The study was carried out through gravimetric essays, open circuit potential measurements, anodic and cathodic polarization curves and electrochemical impedance analyses, as wel

20. CARACTERIZAÇÃO FÍSICA E QUÍMICA DA BIOMASSA USADA COMO COMBUSTÍVEL SÓLIDO EM UMA CALDEIRA
Biomass is a renewable energy source most used in the world, however, depending on the chemical properties and origin of the material used as biofuel, the amount of ash generated during combustion can be high, harming the energetic harnessing. The objective of this study was to characterize chemically and physically biomass: bark, sawdust, and urban pruning;

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Chagas disease (CD), whose etiological agent is the Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) parasite, affects about eight million people, mainly in Latin America. The cruzain enzyme is highlighted among the main biological targets, since it is the most abundant of the cysteine protease class from T. cruzi and is involve

23. Preparation of Fluorescent Carbon-Based Dots from Waste Tire Pyrolysis
The pyrolysis of waste tire has been proposed as an alternative route to its recycling producing residual oils that can be used as fuels. In this work, a physicochemical process to obtain carbon-based dots (CBD) from carbon black (CBL) derivatives of tires is described. For this, the CBL was treated with different acids to produce CBL1 and CBL2 particles sus

24. Pre-harvest desiccation in biomass sorghum with herbicides
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of different herbicide treatments on moisture removal and calorific power of biomass sorghum for co-generation of electric energy through burning. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with four replicates per treatment and a 6x4 factorial scheme (six herbicide treatments
