This work presents the application of the theoretical model to design the strain hardening cement-based composite reinforcement with natural curauá fiber. The work investigates the properties of curauá fiber and the influence of hot water washing cycles and alkaline treatments o...

Ellipsoid bounds for strictly convex quadratic integer programs have been proposed in [1, 2]. The idea is to underestimate the strictly convex quadratic objective function q of the problem by another convex quadratic function with the same continuous minimizer as q and for which&#x...

The robustness and versatility of the flexible pipeline technology for the offshore oil industry were decisive for the achievement of consecutive records regarding the water depth. In some applications, this technology is the only available and suitable, but on the other ha...

This thesis addresses the problems associated with conversions on graphs and editing by removing a matching. We study the f-reversible processes, which are those associated with a threshold value for each vertex, and whose dynamics depends on the number of neighbors with different ...

Network monitoring is essential to determine the quality of broadband services offered by ISPs. Establishing which metrics are relevant for this type of evaluation still remains an object of study. One of the main metrics of interest is the measurement of throughput between two...

The objective of this work was to analyze the economic gains, in terms of Net Present Value (NPV), of the successive adjustments in the development plan (DP) of an oil field as new information was made available by drilling and production of the wells. The closed-loop...
