Operational Research (OR) is an eminent science to business competitiveness and the capacity of algorithms and spreadsheets that exist today allows people to apply them for a lower cost and with less complexity. However, spreadsheets linked to OR techniques, when directed to real problems, are still little explored in their full potential. In order to use them better, this article utilizes the Microsoft Office Excel to solve an optimization practical problem and decision-making of machining subcontracting. In general, although considered a frequent problem, is not of easy solution, optimize the mix of production versus outsourcing, because of the restrictions and resources available, it requests investments in specific software. In this way, this research aims to develop software to be called SOSU (Optimization Software for Machining Subcontracting). SOSU should introduce the best mix of internal and subcontracted machining for n types of parts that, over a certain period of time t, maximize capacity and meet all the demand at the lowest cost possible. The methodology adopted follows the bibliographic reference and it is assumed that the necessary data to prove from mathematical modeling of production areas and from a system of costs already structured. The nature of the problem justifies the application of Linear Programming (LP), Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is used for computational implementation and interface with the user and the supplement Solver to find the solution. The analysis of the experiments show that the SOSU optimizes resources and improves the decision-making process, besides an easy operation, it can be implemented or quickly adapted and without the need of large investments.

Baseado em um controlador digital de sinais, o sistema de monitoramento e detecção da queima em tempo real proposto neste estudo realiza a aquisição das sinais RMS de emissão acústica e da potência ativa do motor de acionamento do rebolo. Essas ações são necessárias para realizar o cálculo de estatísticas que foram utilizadas em trabalhos científicos e mostraram-se eficientes na detecção da queima em processos de retiticação. Dessa forma, é possível atuar sobre a retificadora, interrompendo seu funcionamento ou realizando correções nas variáveis do processo.

This work aimed to develop an optimization methodology for reservoir sizing in rainwater harvesting systems in order to increase the economic viability of projects in this area. For this, concepts of Operations Research were used so as to develop mathematical programming problems related to minimizing the life cycle cost and maximizing efficiency. The results obtained for different sizing methods were presented based on a case study, emphasizing the importance of tools that are able to provide a more accurate analysis and tend to significantly increase the economic viability of rainwater harvesting systems.

Pesquisas na robótica móvel tem sido impulsionadas pelos avanços tecnológicos. Existem frentes de pesquisas que abordam diferentes aspectos e desafios da robótica móvel, dentre os quais é possível citar tópicos como locomoção, navegação e arquitetura de controle. Esse crescimento em pesquisas acarreta uma maior necessidade por plataformas de robôs que possam ser destinadas à pesquisa e também para fins educacionais. Este trabalho propõe uma alternativa de plataforma de robô móvel de baixo custo, de arquitetura de hardware, software e controle aberta, destinada a atividades de propósitos gerais. A plataforma almeja a facilitação e flexibilização do processo de desenvolvimento de estudos e aplicações robóticas por meio de uma interface de comunicação simplificada e pela abstração da heterogeneidade dos dispositivos periféricos de hardware, sendo assim, capaz de oferecer maior liberdade em relação às linguagens de programação, paradigmas de controle e tecnologias de controle.

O processo de retificação é considerado um dos últimos na cadeia de produção de peças de precisão. Assim, é essencial ter um sistema de monitoramento confiável para este processo. Neste trabalho é proposto um sistema de medição de vibração, rápido e versátil, baseado na plataforma de prototipagem eletrônica de hardware livre Arduino, com objetivo de monitorar em tempo real o processo de retificação plana, especialmente no que diz respeito à condição da peça retificada. Para este trabalho ensaios experimentais foram realizados numa máquina retificadora plana, empregando um rebolo de óxido de alumínio e uma peça de aço ABNT 1020. Por meio de um sensor piezelétrico de PZT (Pb-Lead Zirconate Titanate) de baixo custo, instalado junto à peça e conectado a uma das portas analógicas do hardware, foi possível medir o sinal de vibração durante o processo de retificação. Verificou-se que, a medida com que o rebolo perdia sua capacidade de corte, em função das consecutivas passadas sobre a peça, ocorria também uma significativa diminuição dos valores médios do sinal de vibração. Tal diminuição do sinal de vibração pode indicar o momento que o rebolo deve ser dressado, permitindo monitorar a qualidade superficial da peça durante o processo de retificação, evitando danos como é o caso da queima superficial. O princípio de operação e as principais características dessa técnica foram investigados, bem como algumas de suas limitações práticas.

In this study, we compared the production cost of summer corn growing in soils treated with industrial fertilizer with those grown treated with sewage sludge. Corn was cultivated on reduced tillage treatment during 2002/2003 in an Oxisol area of 0.0625 hec. The field trial with industrial fertilizer was conducted following related guidelines for the state of Sao Paulo. The application of sewage sludge to the soil was at the rate of 10 t.ha-1. Calculations were based on market prices for the abovementioned years. In addition to lower environmental impact, results indicate economic cost advantages associated with the use of sewage sludge.

The study evaluated the energy balance of the yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) production system in the region of Marilia-SP. There were analyzed the "inputs" of energy originated from biological, fossil, and industrial sources, and the "output" of energy in the form of fruits produced per unit area, as well as five energy indicators. The phytotechnical indices considered were: planting in February (seedling in tubes), production cycle: 18 months, and yield: 20 t/ha. The input energy totaled 173,707.86 MJ/ha. The most representative items corresponded to industrial indirect energy (38%) and to biological (34%). Chemical fertilizers and pesticides accounted for 65% and 31% of indirect energy industry, respectively. The activity generated 391,800.00 MJ per cycle/ha, and the culture productivity, 0.12 MJ/kg. The efficiency of the culture was 2.26. The net cultural energy totaled 218,092.15 MJ/ha. The energy balance was positive (126,050.23 MJ/ha). Energy efficiency was favorable, with a value of 3.64. The direct power consumption of fossil origin is significant in the system evaluated, but it still allows the production of the yellow passion fruit in an environmentally sustainable way.

The use of Information and Communication Technology has grown in most agricultural activities. As a consequence, it has changed the way of thinking and acting of the farmer who wants to establish a more and more competitive market. However, the high costs of acquisition and maintenance of those technologies may be a factor which can inhibit its spread and acceptance, mainly to a large number of small grain Brazilian farmers. In this context, there is a need for innovative solutions that are proper for this universe of farmers. Starting from this premise, this paper presents the development of a low cost prototype to the monitoring process of temperature and humidity values of grains stored in silos, using communication based on wireless technology by radio frequency. Therefore, the economic implications of cost/benefit ratio of innovative application of wireless transmission in the process of thermometry of grains were analysed. The prototype was made of two electronic units, one of acquisition and another one of data reception, as well as computational software, which offered the farmer more precise information for the control of aeration. By means of stability, integrity and reliability tests of data transmission via radio, using low cost electronic components, the development system can be considered as potentially viable. It presented the difference regarding the wireless communication via radio in the process of grains thermometry, providing mobility, reducing cabling costs and maintenance, and also offering an easy system expansion; it was also appropriate to temperature and humidity monitoring in grain silos; and revealed operational viability, besides the low cost development when compared to similar products available in the Brazilian market.
