The emergence of the Industry 4.0 concept and the profound digital transformation of the industry plays a crucial role in improving organisations' supply chain (SC) performance, consequently achieving a competitive advantage. The order fulfilment process (OFP) consists of one of the key business processes for the organization SC and represents a core process for the operational logistics flow. The dispatch work...

Nestlé; Braskem; FIESP; Apresentação de Paulo Pedrosa, da ABRACE - Associação Brasileira dos Grandes Consumidores de Energia e Consumidores Livres, no seminário "O papel da indústria no crescimento do Brasil". O evento foi realizado pela Revista Conjuntura Econômica, através do Instituto Brasileiro de Economia (IBRE), da Fundação Getulio Vargas, com apoio da Fiesp, no dia 27 de setembro, em São Paulo. O seminár...
Inclined, zigzag and spiral Ti1-xCux films were co-sputtered by the Glancing Angle Deposition technique. Two distinct titanium (Ti) and copper (Cu) targets were used and the films were grown with a particle flow incidence angle α of 80°. The thin films had Cu contents ranging from 36 to 76 ± 5 at. %. The effect of increasing Cu incorporation on the electrical anisotropy, as well as the effect of columnar archit...
In this work, magnetron sputtered CrNx thin films with nitrogen concentrations ranging from 17 to 30 at.% were deposited on plasma activated ABS. Two sets of thin films were obtained by varying the N2 flow inside the vacuum chamber (series #1) and the deposition time (series #2). The polymer samples were also subjected to plasma treatment in Ar prior to the CrNx thin films' deposition, in order to enhance the a...
Several plasma treatments using argon, oxygen, and nitrogen are studied in order to increase the interfacial adhesion of the polyurethane/Ag:TiN system to be used as biopotential electrodes. The optimized plasma treatments conditions (100 W, 15 min, regardless of the gas) promote a steep decrease of the water contact angle values. The observed chemical and topographic alterations translate into excellent polyur...
Flexible polyurethane substrates were coated with Ag:TiN thin films (N/Ti atomic ratio = 0.7; 10 at.% Ag), with different column inclinations (α = 0°, 40° and 80°) and architectures (columnar, zigzag with 2 and 4 periods), using the Glancing Angle Deposition (GLAD) technique. The coatings were characterized in order to assess the best thin film architecture to suit the bio-potential electrode applications. An a...
Esta revisão aborda a aplicação das concentrações e proporções de nutrientes (nitrogênio e fósforo) no diagnóstico da eutrofização em águas naturais. Foi realizado um breve histórico sobre a eutrofização e considerações sobre os elementos eutrofizantes. O uso das razões no diagnóstico da eutrofização apresenta limitações, uma vez que existem outros parâmetros que impedem a proliferação do fitoplâncton mesmo em ...
