Abstract Influxes of sargassos are responsible for economic and environmental disasters in areas where they bloom, especially in regions whose main income relies on tourism and with limited capacity for sanitation and public health response.A promising way of valorization would be to convert this incredible biomass into tools to fight the deadly ve
Introduction: Body contouring surgery is among the most requested surgical procedures in cosmetic surgery.Mentz was the first to perform superficial liposuction to define the abdominal muscles in male patients.However, Scuderi first popularized the use of continuous ultrasound to produce fat fragmentation in lipoplasty.Ultrasound, when applied inte
To ensure the mission implementation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), faults occurring on actuators should be detected and located promptly; therefore, reliable control strategies and inputs can be effectively provided.In this paper, faults occurring on the propulsion and attitude control systems read more of a torpedo-shaped AUV are analy
Currently, the Direct-Current (DC) microgrid has been gaining popularity because most electronics devices require a DC power input.A DC microgrid can significantly reduce the AC to DC energy conversion loss.However, a power grid may experience a line fault situation that may damage important household devices and cause a blackout in the power syste
Over the last 20 years, a new group of systemic insecticides-the neonicotinoids-has gained prominence in arable systems, and their application globally has risen year on year.Previous modelling studies using long-term data have suggested that neonicotinoid application has had a detrimental impact on bird populations, but these studies were either l
