Self-healing in cement-based materials occurs in order to plug microcracks that can cause harmful agents to enter the material. In this context, the objective of this work is to study the microorganism Lysinibacillus sphaericus and submit it to tests that prove its application in concrete structures to act as a healing agent. For this, it was exposed to growth in a culture medium with different pH alkalis. Then, the concentration of microorganisms in the culture medium was verified by the Petri dish counting method.

Fires can cause immeasurable consequences both for material goods and for living beings. So, it is essential to seek ways to prevent their occurrence and impact. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to invest in the development of preventive and protective measures. In the event of a claim, active protection systems are of significant importance for damage reduction. Therefore, this article aims at describing the main firefighting systems in structures, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages, and the trends of technological development through the analysis of patents.

O agronegócio abrange fluxos do produtor ao consumidor. Neste contexto, a pesquisa faz uma abordagem sobre a biomassa do café, que é uma fonte de bioenergia de grande relevância econômica para o país, maior produtor de grãos beneficiados do mundo.

O município com 900 metros de altitude, clima tropical de altitude com temperatura média de 20º, características adequadas para produção do Coffea arábica de qualidade.

Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) is a biopolymer produced mainly by microorganisms of Alcaligenes, Azobacter, Bacillus and Pseudomonas genera. Due to its properties such as high degree of crystallinity, crystalline melting temperature and barrier properties this polymer has the potential to replace polyolefins, with the advantage of being biodegradable, biocompatible, and from a renewable source. In this this work were prepared a nanocomposites with two kinds of silicon dioxide (hydrophilic or hydrophobic) employing solution casting method.

Utilizou-se o descritor: “idoso”; e as palavras-chaves: “funcionalidade”, “instrumentos” e “multidimensional”.

Comparisons between the growth rates of countries have been controversial due to the existence of the convergence effect. Convergence theory propounds that less developed countries are able to catch-up to their developed counter-parts when catered to the catch-up effect. Previous research has focused on convergence rather than comparative analysis focusing more on developed nations.
