The purpose of Knowledge Transfer (KT) is the practical use of the results of scientific research and the monitoring of the health benefits it brings to the population. In health care, the government and society expect that investments made in research will yield results that go beyond the production and publication of knowledge and lead to practical outcomes such as public policies, systems, products, and technologies to benefit the health of the population. However, there is still a ne...
Fires can cause immeasurable losses for both living beings and material goods, they can affect structures, forests, undergrowth, vehicles, and other environments, with structures being the place with the highest incidence of fire. In this way, it is essential to resolve its occurrence, or in the event of an accident, act effectively to suppress it immediately. Therefore, it is necessary to invest in prevention and protection measures. The design of effective firefighting solutions permea...
With the emergence of e-procurement, public purchases are mostly conducted through the Electronic Auction – the federal government's procurement system where bids for the acquisition of common goods and services are processed via the web. Employing the literature applied to Public Procurement, based on the efficiency and effectiveness of hiring. This research, which is in the “Three Paper Thesis” format, examined with a deductive approach the terms and efficiency of technical units throu...
Oil pipelines are susceptible to leaks. Particularly, pipelines from onshore oil production fields have characteristics that accentuate leak problems, as they are spread over large areas and have systems interconnected by pipelines laid on the surface. Furthermore, they are mostly old systems that operate without continuously present human assistance. As a result, they are more prone to failure. This work proposes a proof of concept of a monitoring system based on the internet of things ...
The world’s energy matrix still focuses on the exploitation of fossil fuels. Thus, most producing companies are dedicated to maximizing the oil recovery factor, especially from mature fields. Production is declining and lack new technologies, such as advanced oil recovery (EOR), to maintain oil production in the reservoir. In this perspective, one of the most promising EOR techniques is the injection of surface-active agents or surfactants. The major benefit of using these compounds is t...
The efficient management of water resources is a crucial challenge for global sustainable development. Therefore, sustainable water governance requires an interdisciplinary approach that integrates knowledge about environmental, social, and technological processes and inclusive strategies involving scientists, managers, politicians, and public and private initiatives to produce collaborative solutions and contribute to water security. The WRF-Hydro system represents the state of the art in...
Since ancient times, man has explored the surface of the planet's waters commercial exchanges, exchanging values and customs, and permeating prosperity. By expanding its borders overseas, man experienced global interconnection, where an invisible mesh of complex interrelationships connects people from all over the world. A Despite the intimacy created with ocean navigation, little is still known about the bottom of the sea. Difficulties imposed by mother nature to enter the waters comb...
Low salinity waterflooding (LSW) is an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique that highlights from conventional EOR methods due to some advantages such as low implementation cost, low environmental impact, and versatility of application for both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. Since the potential of LSW was discovered, numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the mechanism responsible for the effects of LSW on enhanced oil recovery, however, due to the complexity of the phy...
In an attempt to reduce global warming, there is strong growth in renewable energy sources on a global and national scale. Wind and solar generation play a prominent role in this scenario due to cost-benefit, sustainability and availability around the world. In some regions there is a complementarity of renewable sources, which helps to minimize a major problem, intermittency. This leads to a new trend of integrating generation plants from multiple primary sources. To better explore the ...
Professional education in Brazil is responsible for developing the technical and socio-emotional skills essential for the world of work. The National Industrial Apprenticeship Service – SENAI performs this role of manpower training for the labor market with a focus on serving the industry, for which it has its own internationally consolidated methodology, the Metodologia SENAI de Educação Profissional - MSEP. With the purpose of raising the management of professional and technological ed...
