1. Technological properties of a self-bloating clay and expanded-clay aggregate for the production of lightweight concrete
Abstract The global interest in an increasingly sustainable economy, with a reduction in the consumption of raw materials and energy, can be supported by the growth in the use of lightweight concrete (LC) produced with expanded-clay aggregates (EA). The main qualities of natural self-bloating clay for the production of EA were studied, analyzing the paramete

2. China and the change of the energy matrix in Latin America: a global political economy approach
RESUMO A China lidera a mudança global da matriz energética e o faz principalmente na América Latina. Essa mudança questiona a posição e a liderança dos Estados Unidos em geral e, particularmente, na América Latina. As evidências mostram que os Estados Unidos estão atrasados na mudança energética em termos técnicos e institucionais e estão fort

3. Characteristics of patients receiving nutrition care and its associations with prognosis in a tertiary hospital
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to describe the medical nutritional therapy (MNT) of adult non-critically ill hospitalization patients. METHODS: In a retrospective study, adults hospitalized for more than 48 h in non-intensive care unit medical and surgical areas that were classified as being at nutritional risk were included. Malnutrition was

4. DFT, Molecular Docking, and ADME/Tox Screening Investigations of Market-Available Drugs against SARS-CoV-2
A series of drugs was investigated to determine structural, electronic and pharmacological properties, as well as the molecular affinity for the main protease of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The drugs were submitted to density functional theory calculations to optimize structures and predict binding preferences. The optimized

5. Evaluation of the combined addition of aluminum lactate and calcium carbonate to alumina-based castables
Abstract Calcium aluminate cement (CAC) can induce the development of high green mechanical strength to refractory castables in a short period of time (24 h). However, the production of this hydraulic binder is energy-intensive and releases a large content of carbon dioxide (CO2), which adds to global warming. Thus, aiming to develop an alternative binding s

6. Unified comprehension of the kinetics of isothermal ceramic processes under field-free and resonant wave-field conditions
Abstract This paper proposes a unified comprehension of the isothermal ceramic process kinetics stemming from mesoscopic irreversible thermodynamics. Accordingly, a unified process kinetic equation (UPKE) is derived, which predicts that the global isothermal process rate of any ceramic process is, in general, nonlinearly related both to its activation energy

7. Thermoelectric properties of barium doped calcium cobaltite obtained by simplified chemical route
Abstract Calcium cobaltite (CCO) thermoelectric ceramics in Ca3Co4O9 and Ca2.95Ba0.05Co4O9 compositions were produced by a simplified chemical route developed in this study. Undoped ceramics sintered at 1193 K for 12 h presented a bulk density equivalent to 77% of the theoretical density, one of the highest values ever found for conventionally sintered undop

8. Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization, DFT Calculations and Preliminary Antifungal Activity of New Piperine Derivatives
Four new piperine derivatives, PC1-PC4, were synthesized, and their structures were fully characterized by infrared (IR) and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies. Quantum chemical calculations were performed using density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP-D3/6-31G(d,p) and 6-311+G(2d,p) basis sets. Electronic properties, such as th

9. Desenvolvimento de Atividades Convectivas Sobre a Região Nordeste do Brasil, Organizada Pela Extremidade Frontal
Resumo Nas extremidades de zonas frontais que atingem o Nordeste brasileiro (NEB), em alguns eventos, desenvolve-se convecção, e em outras frentes isso não ocorre. Os eventos em que ocorre convecção profunda sobre o NEB, estão associados a eventos de precipitação intensa e possíveis transtornos associados. Por isso, o objetivo geral é analisar as d

10. Laparoscopic and robotic urology surgery during global Pandemic COVID-19
ABSTRACT Known laparoscopic and robotic assisted approaches and techniques for the surgical management of urological malignant and benign diseases are commonly used around the World. During the global pandemic COVID-19, urology surgeons had to reorganize their daily surgical practice. A concern with the use of minimally invasive techniques arose due to a pro

11. Kinetics of Lumefantrine Thermal Decomposition Employing Isoconversional Models and Artificial Neural Network
Thermal analysis can be used to determine shelf-life and kinetic parameters in pharmaceutical systems. This work investigates the kinetic of lumefantrine thermal decomposition, an antimalarial, using non-isothermal and isothermal experimental data. The non-isothermal conditions are analyzed applying Vyazovkin method, while isothermal conditions employ models

12. An Overview of the Photocatalytic H2 Evolution by Semiconductor-Based Materials for Nonspecialists
The solar-to-chemical energy conversion is promising to tackle sustainability challenges toward a global future. The production of H2 from sunlight represents an attractive alternative to the use of carboniferous fossil fuels to meet our energy demands. In this context, the water splitting reaction photocatalyzed by semiconductors that can be excited under v
