An approach to the uav path planning problem in the internet of drones considering uncertainties

In recent years, the use of drones has become more common for different practical applications, such as goods delivery, area monitoring, image capture and traffic management. For these applications to be possible, it is necessary that the drones use the same airspace, constituting the Internet of Drones (IoD). Considering that IoD is a complex network, different challenges and problems involving this architecture still need to be studied.

Universities as agents for innovation, living values, sustainable community development and progressive society building

In this paper, we revisit Higher Education 4.0 and examine the power of universities as agents of new knowledge and innovations, for sustainable community development and progressive society building. With the benefit of retrospective economic analysis, we may posit that universities will continue to be central to socio-economic development. We can envision that in the face of a changing economic landscape, universities have the potential to serve as powerful agents of change toward a more equitable, just, and sustainable world.

Caracterização sóciodemográfica e clínico-epidemiológica de pacientes sépticos

Refere-se a sepse como uma síndrome potencialmente fatal causada pela resposta orgânica desregulada do hospedeiro a uma infecção. O choque séptico, corresponde ao agravamento desta resposta, com alto risco de morte. Além do impacto socioeconômico, da mortalidade e prevalência relacionados, torna-se indispensável conhecer o perfil clinico-epidemiológico desta síndrome por conceber oportunidades para sua prevenção e otimização das estratégias de tratamento.

Evaluation of the action and properties of thermoplastic starch / titanium dioxide / graphene nanocomposites obtained through spray drying for fruit covering

In this study, nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and graphene were incorporated into a matrix of thermoplastic starch (TPS) obtained from cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) with the objective of producing a material for covering fruit, aiming to last the shelf life of food. The polymeric nanocomposites (NCPs) were obtained by the solvent dispersion method and, subsequently, the spray drying technique was used to obtain the material in powder form.

Queijo artesanal de baixo valor calórico enriquecido com óleo fitogênico do fruto de buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.).

O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver queijos artesanais, enriquecidos com diferentes concentrações de óleo de buriti (Mauritia flexuosa L.). Foram produzidas 5 formulações, um padrão sem óleo e quatro enriquecidas com 1%, 2%, 3%, e 4% de óleo de buriti. Realizaram-se análises de umidade, lipídios, proteínas, cinzas, carboidratos, acidez total titulável, pH e foi calculado o valor calórico dos queijos. Também foram realizadas análises microbiológicas de coliformes totais, salmonelas e bolores e leveduras. Os queijos foram classificados pela legislação como sendo de muita alta umidade.

Consequence of vigna unguiculata vegetables on production, productivity and soil health management

Cow pea (Vigna unguiculata) is an annual herbaceous legume vegetable crop comes under family Fabaceae which is liberal to sandy to silt soil, low rain fall and an important crop of African and Asian countries. Due to its ability to grow by using less agricultural input, able to fix atmospheric nitrogen in root nodule and acts as a valuable crop for poor and marginal farming communities its cultivation is increasing Day by Day. Cow pea is also suitable as a best inter crop in fruit orchard, with other vegetables, flowers and plantation crops.
