Este livro apresenta uma pesquisa sobre privacidade em redes elétricas inteligentes, Smart Grids, conduzida entre 2014 e 2019, culminando na tese de doutorado defendida na Universidade de Brasília em 2019. O estudo abordou duas frentes principais: tecnologias de transmissão de dados e contribuições em criptografia para proteger a privacidade dos consumidores, especialmente os prosumers, que consomem e produzem energia. O trabalho também discutiu avanços e limitações do hardware dos medidores inteligentes (SMs), destacando que, apesar de melhorias significativas na capacidade de processamento dos SMs, eles ainda representam pontos vulneráveis que podem comprometer a privacidade do usuário. Propomos o uso de técnicas de subamostragem e um framework criptográfico para aprimorar a proteção de dados. O livro ressalta a relevância contínua da discussão sobre a segurança dos dados em Smart Grids e a necessidade de revisitar as soluções propostas para enfrentar novos desafios tecnológicos.
Este livro analisa uma pesquisa realizada entre 2012 e 2014 sobre previsão de carga elétrica com três fontes de energia inovadoras: reciclagem de luz interna, enguias elétricas e energia de irradiação EM de antenas RF. Originada da dissertação de mestrado da Universidade de Brasília, intitulada “Previsão Espaço-Temporal dos Sistemas de Energia Elétrica Incluindo Fontes de Energia Renováveis Emergentes”, a obra rediscute esses vetores energéticos alternativos e explora ferramentas de previsão para carga elétrica. Destaca-se a análise de séries temporais e espaciais, empregando métodos matemáticos e algoritmos, incluindo modelos autoregressivos e redes neurais artificiais. O foco especial é dado à seção sobre colheita de energia RF, identificada como a mais promissora entre as fontes estudadas. O livro, intitulado “Previsão de Carga em Redes Inteligentes com Fontes de Energia Baseadas em Radiofrequência e Outras”, apresenta essas tecnologias emergentes como alternativas viáveis na geração de energia.
The use of plastic materials has seen a massive increase in recent years, and generation of plastic wastes has grown proportionately. Recycling of these wastes to reduce landfill disposal is problematic due to the wide variation in properties and chemical composition among the different types of plastics. Feedstock recycling is one of the alternatives available for consideration, and Feedstock Recycling of Plastic Wastes looks at the conversion of plastic wastes into valuable chemicals useful as fuels or raw materials. Looking at both scientific and technical aspects of the recycling developments, this book describes the alternatives available. Areas include chemical depolymerization, thermal processes, oxidation and hydrogenation. Besides conventional treatments, new technological approaches for the degradation of plastics, such as conversion under supercritical conditions and coprocessing with coal are discussed. This book is essential reading for those involved in plastic recycling, whether from an academic or industrial perspective. Consultants and government agencies will also find it immensely useful.
This book discusses some of the state-of-the-art techniques of recycling post-consumer plastic materials and focuses on mechanical recycling, chemical recycling and energy recovery. The book is intended for all those who are interested in recycling of post consumer plastic waste. Although, this book discusses technical aspects of recycling, the authors have endeavoured to make this book easily understandable to anyone interested in the subject enabling the reader to gain a thorough grounding in all the subjects discussed.

Recent years have seen a vast development in various methodologies for object detection and feature extraction and recognition, both in theory and in practice. When processing images, videos, or other types of multimedia, one needs efficient solutions to perform fast and reliable processing. Computational intelligence is used for medical screening where the detection of disease symptoms is carried out, in prevention monitoring to detect suspicious behavior, in agriculture systems to help with growing plants and animal breeding, in transportation systems for the control of incoming and outgoing transportation, for unmanned vehicles to detect obstacles and avoid collisions, in optics and mater...
An understanding of gonorynchiform morphology and systematic inter- and intra-relationships has proven vital to a better understanding of the evolution of lower teleosts in general, and more specifically of groups such as the clupeiforms (e.g., herrings and anchovies), and ostariophysans (e.g., carps, minnows and catfishes). This book examines the
The aim of this Printed Edition of Special Issue entitled "Recent Advancements in Radar Imaging and Sensing Technology” was to gather the latest research results in the area of modern radar technology using active and/or radar imaging sensing techniques in different applications, including both military use and a broad spectrum of civilian applications. As a result, the 19 papers that have been published highlighted a variety of topics related to modern radar imaging and microwave sensing technology. The sequence of articles included in the Printed Edition of Special Issue dealt with wide aspects of different applications of radar imaging and sensing technology in the area of topics including high-resolution radar imaging, novel Synthetic Apertura Radar (SAR) and Inverse SAR (ISAR) imaging techniques, passive radar imaging technology, modern civilian applications of using radar technology for sensing, multiply-input multiply-output (MIMO) SAR imaging, tomography imaging, among others.
