Contradicciones de la Amazonía en el Brasil: Una nueva perspectiva by Creucí Maria Caetano, Diego Geraldo Caetano Nunes

“…Tal presión, puede ser caracterizada como sigue: i) la deforestación creciente, con la tala ilegal de árboles nativas y las quemas, con consecuentes cambios en el uso del suelo tropical; por lo general, indebidamente manejado con implementación de monocultivos y técnicas inadecuadas para estos tipos de suelos; ii) la invasión a tierras indígenas y áreas de unidades de conservación, poniendo en riesgo el patrimonio sociocultural y la sociobiodiversidad; además, compromete también el patrimonio genético, del cual, un número expresivo de especies no son todavía conocidos y que podrían contrarrestar adversidades relacionadas con el cambio climático. …”

Dispersion modelling of potentially toxic elements and particulate matter concentrations from the stack of Shahid Rajaei power plant using the AERMOD method by Ali Godarzvand chegini, Naser Ebadati, Behnoush Khoshmanesh Zadeh

“…Results showed that the concentration of potentially toxic elements in the soil around the power plant has a direct relationship with the particles coming out of the power plant chimney and their deposition in the soil, and the trend of soil pollution up to a distance of 8 to 10 km from the power plant shows the highest concentration of the studied elements, and with increasing distance from the power plant, Pollution levels are reduced. In the affected areas, the concentrations of vanadium, nickel, zinc, and copper exceeded the standard with values ​​of 237, 88,210 and 112 ppm, respectively, and the four elements cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, and lead with values 21, 115, 4.7 and 42 ppm showed lower levels of pollution. which are also related to the type of fuel consumed by the power plant. …”

Optimizing children's hand orthosis design: A study on contact pressure distribution using FSR sensors by Dhaval Patel, Ivaylo Mitev, Thomas Rockenbauer, Thomas Antretter, Sandra Schloegl, Margit Lang

“…This research primarily aims to measure the contact force between the hand and orthoses in children under 10 years old and use this data as a loading condition for topology optimization to reduce high-pressure areas, thereby enhancing wear comfort. Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) sensors were employed to record the contact force at 16 specific points on the orthoses using a voltage divider circuit with two different setups: the Teensy 3.5 chip board for 12-bit precision and the Elegoo Mega 2560 chip board for 10-bit precision. …”
