1. Operating Model and Estimation of the Insurance Premium for an Energy Futures Clearing House in Brazil
Abstract Purpose We propose and analyze a new operating model for an energy futures exchange that could be implemented in Brazil, where there is low liquidity for these contracts. The clearing house temporarily assumes the position of customers who fail to answer the margin call, instead of closing the position, as would normally be done under normal condit

2. Carbon Dots from Pilosocereus gounellei for Fluorimetric Determination of Tannin in Tea Using a Flow-Batch System
In this study, xiquexique (Pilosocereus gounellei) native endemic cactus from the Brazilian semiarid was used for the first time as a natural carbon source (“green precursor”) for the synthesis of highly fluorescent carbon dots (CDs). These CDs were successfully used to develop a fast, low-cost, eco-friendly fluorescence method for the determination of t

4. A Low-Cost Smart Surveillance System Applied to Vehicle License Plate Tracking
Abstract The growth of urban centers has a major impact on our lives and on our society, one of which is the increase in the vehicle fleet, which in turns is a major offender in increasing road congestion, pollution, accidents, theft of vehicles, among others. With a focus on minimizing problems with theft of vehicles in an urban environment this paper propo

5. Bandpass Filter Using SIW Technology in Inductive Window Topology with Low-Cost Substrate FR-4
Abstract This paper features a step-by-step procedure for designing, simulate, and manufacture a bandpass filter using an inductive window topology within the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology. We have chosen an operating frequency in the microwave range compatible with IoT circuits, employing a dielectric material, the FR-4, which is low cost

6. Development of a ceramic membrane for emulsion water-diesel treatment
Abstract The purpose of this study was the development of a low-cost ceramic tubular membrane, using inexpensive materials, namely natural clay, and graphite as a porogenic agent. Such a low-cost membrane can be used as filters or porous supports for the preparation of multilayer ceramic membranes. Extrusion was used as a shape-forming method for this purpos

7. Prospects for Developing Low-Cost Optical Fiber Sensors for Liquid-Liquid Interface Detection
Abstract This work examines the prospects of a low-cost retroreflection optical sensor system for detection of the interface between two immiscible liquids, for applications in oil separation tanks. The sensor in its simplest configuration comprises a bare fiber optic tip, cleaved at an angle of 90º relative to the longitudinal fiber axis. The device tested

8. Low-cost Colonoscopic Simulator and Colonoscope to Train Basic Skills in Colonoscopy during Undergraduate Studies
Abstract Objective To develop a low-cost simulator model and a colonoscope with materials that are easily accessible to offer training on colonoscopy skills during undergraduate studies. Since this is the procedure of choice for colorectal cancer screening, the general practitioner must be able to recognize its main indications, preparation, and complicatio

9. Integrated Antennas on MnM Interposer for the 60 GHz Band
Abstract In this article, antennas for the 60 GHz ISM band designed to be integrated to a new high-frequency, low-cost interposer technology called Membrane-nanowire-Membrane (MnM) are discussed, manufactured, and measured. Also, an antenna characterization system under development at the Microelectronic Laboratory (LME-USP) is introduced, showing promising

10. A Simple, Rapid, and Reliable Titrimetric Method for the Determination of Glycerol at Low Concentration
Glycerol can be determined in several products by various analytical techniques. Titrimetric ones have stood out for their low cost, being recommended as standards. However, reliable, simple, fast, and green methods with low quantification limits are still needed. Titration of glycerol is based on its oxidation by periodate (Malaprade reaction) producing for

11. Fast, cheap and feasible: Implementation of pediatric telemedicine in a public hospital during the Covid-19 pandemic
Abstract Objective: In Brazil, telemedicine was allowed as an exception during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Despite its recognized value and availability, telemedicine is not universally used, suggesting that some barriers prevent its adoption and acceptance within the community. This study aims to describe the implementation of a low-cost t
