“…The correlation coefficient between the peak current and the square root of the scan rate indicated that CPF oxidation at the poly(C2)/GCE was primarily controlled by diffusion mass transport. With a detection limit of 3.4 × 10−9 M, the voltammetric current response of CPF at the poly(C2)/GCE under optimal circumstances showed a linear trend with concentrations ranging from 5.0 × 10−8 to 2.0 × 10−4 M. …”

Internet das coisas (IoT) e novas dinâmicas da produção agrícola no campo brasileiro by Mait Bertollo, Ricardo Abid Castillo, Matheus Dezidério Busca

“…The analysis of the agents involved in the development, diffusion and connection of these systems and the assessment of their impacts on agricultural production allow us to visualize two complementary and contradictory processes in the Brazilian countryside: 1) the deepening of inequalities, arising from the socially and spatially selective diffusion of digital technologies; 2) the potential mitigation of the deleterious effects of the first trend, that is, of the disparities between agents of the upper and lower circuit of agrarian economies, through the diffusion and trivialization of the use of information technologies and internet infrastructures in the context of family farming, valuing the diverse knowledge of small and medium producers and cooperatives.…”
