The adsorption isotherms of ciprofloxacin (CIP) by the spent coffee grounds (SCGs) was investigated. The adsorption isotherms were well described by the Langmuir model. This suggested that the strong interaction of CIP with the SCGs. Therefore, SCGs, as a green, environmental-friendly adsorbent, can be applied to the adsorption of contaminants in environment.

The developments achieved by electric machines in recent decades were more significant in terms of their resizing and in the ways in which they are activated than in the field of materials used for their manufacture. The electric machine project proposes the improvement of the technology of a three-phase synchronous machine through changes in the material and in the manufacturing process of the rotor and stator cores.

The COVID-19 disease was detected in Wuhan-China in December 2019; in March 2020, it was declared a pandemic. Due to the high transmissibility, there was a need to adapt protocols for the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to provide health care, substantially increasing its use. However, increased demand and production shortages culminated in rising costs. The aim of this study was to analyze the economic impact on the cost of acquiring PPE in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. An integrative literature review was performed in PubMed, LILACS and CINAHL databases.
