Leer artículo

 

 

The diagnosis of failures in Internal Combustion Engines (ICM)-generation engines, has been considering one of the principal thematic axes of academic and industrial Research, Development and Innovation (R & D & I) based on the analysis of the specialized engineering literature within the Distributed Generation (DG) paradigm. With the aim of presenting the characteristics of the work related to failures in ICM and recognizing the global research focuses, a scientometric methodological approach of a systematic review of the publications indexed in Web of Science (WoS) has been carrying out from the perspective of bibliometric analysis for the period from 2007 to 2017. The H-index has been incorporating into this analysis to assess the visibility and impact of journals, authors, countries, and institutions with the highest levels of production and recognition in the field under study. The systematic review also made it possible to analyze the interaction between knowledge groups and networks with the authors and institutions identified in the ranking. The results show a significant increase in the number of publications, especially between 2012 and 2016, which allow the main dimensions of R & D & I related to the study of failures in ICM to be characterized and illustrated at a holistic level and provide added value to researchers interested in establishing cooperation and publication processes with journals, authors, institutions and potential actors in the study of ICM failures.

An evaluation of the industrial symbiosis systems modeling

Leer artículo

 

 

Industrial symbiosis, a concept derived from industrial ecology, emphasizes the collaborative and synergic production among industries. The particular focus is on cyclical flows of resources (material, energy, water, and/or by-products), in order to minimize impacts on the environment. In this way, an industry could reuse the discarded resources of another industry as an input to production. Essentially, the characteristics of the interaction between components of the system define industrial symbiosis as complex and dynamic. Uncertainty, unpredictability, emergency, and adaptability are determining features of this interaction. The development of such an innovative system requires great effort. An important step is to create a representative model of this new reality to support system change. Hence, the present article develops an evaluation of the industrial symbiosis systems modeling. For this purpose, the research adopted a bibliometric and systemic analysis. The results presented in this paper are: (i) an analysis of scientific knowledge about the theme, (ii) the main points discussed and opportunities extracted in the literature, and (iii) the paradigms of industrial symbiosis modeling and simulating. In addition, this work will cooperate as a research base for the development of a new model, which intends to support decision-making processes, during the creation of symbiosis links.

Residues in cement-based composites: Occurrence mapping in Brazil

Leer artículo

 

 

Scientific articles related to the incorporation of residues in civil construction materials are growing worldwide, although their practical application is still incipient. In this scenario, this paper produced an occurrence map of the most studied residues in Brazil when incorporated in cement-based composites. Initially, the most relevant residues were identified through a bibliometric analysis on the Scopus database, using the software VOSviewer. This analysis included scientific papers from Brazilian institutions published from 2001 to 2022 regarding the development of cement-based composites using residues, wastes, or tailings. Subsequently, to map the occurrence of these materials in each Brazilian state, we used public and private data on the country’s industrial production and waste disposal. From 1272 articles analyzed, we identified 49 residues with at least 2 citations. Among the most cited residues in Brazilian publications are construction and demolition waste, rice husk, glass waste, sugarcane bagasse, and tire rubber residue. The authors noticed the heterogeneity of the occurrence of the residues across the large Brazilian territory and found gaps on research trends involving them. These and other observations facilitate the decision-making process regarding logistics and investments related to the reuse and recycling of these materials.

Background and purpose: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and radiation therapy (RT) is crucial in its multimodality management. Since bibliometrics is a powerful tool to reveal the scientific literature, we decided to perform a bibliometric analysis of the literature on breast cancer radiotherapy. We explored emerging trends and common patterns in research, tracking collaboration and networks, and foreseeing future directions in this clinical setting. Material and methods: The electronic Scopus database was searched using the keywords “breast cancer” and “radiotherapy” to include manuscripts published in English, between 2000 and 2021. Data analysis was performed using R-Studio 0.98.1091 software with a machine-learning bibliometric method, based on the bibliometrix R package. The most relevant authors were quantified per number and fractionalized number of authored documents. Author productivity was analysed through Lotka’s law. Bradford’s law was applied to identify the nucleus of journals focused on the addressed topic. Mainstream themes area included isolated topics (niche themes), new topics (emerging themes), hot topics (motor themes) and essential topics (basic themes). Results: A total of 27 184 documents was found, mainly original articles (76 %). The annual growth rate was 6.98 %, with an increase in scientific production from 485 to 2000 documents between 2000 and 2021. Overall, 2 544 journals published ≥ 1 documents. The most relevant authors were affiliated in the United States. Surgical procedures, cancer type and treatment strategies represented basic themes, while primary systemic therapy and sentinel lymph node biopsy were emerging themes. Health-related quality of life was a niche theme, while RT techniques had high centrality. Conclusion: The primary interests of breast cancer radiation oncologists have evolved over time, adding safety, health related quality of life, sustainability of treatments and combination to systemic therapies to radiotherapy efficacy and effectiveness and treatment outcomes

Pathways for the Valorization of Animal and Human Waste to Biofuels, Sustainable Materials, and Value-Added Chemicals

Leer artículo

 

 

Human and animal waste, including waste products originating from human or animal digestive systems, such as urine, feces, and animal manure, have constituted a nuisance to the environment. Inappropriate disposal and poor sanitation of human and animal waste often cause negative impacts on human health through contamination of the terrestrial environment, soil, and water bodies. Therefore, it is necessary to convert these wastes into useful resources to mitigate their adverse environmental effect. The present study provides an overview and research progress of different thermochemical and biological conversion pathways for the transformation of human- and animal-derived waste into valuable resources. The physicochemical properties of human and animal waste are meticulously discussed, as well as nutrient recovery strategies. In addition, a bibliometric analysis is provided to identify the trends in research and knowledge gaps. The results reveal that the USA, China, and England are the dominant countries in the research areas related to resource recovery from human or animal waste. In addition, researchers from the University of Illinois, the University of California Davis, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Zhejiang University are front runners in research related to these areas. Future research could be extended to the development of technologies for on-site recovery of resources, exploring integrated resource recovery pathways, and exploring different safe waste processing methods.
