Abstract: Background: Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)—leucine, isoleucine, and valine—play a fundamental role in muscle metabolism, acting as energy substrates and regulators of protein synthesis through mTOR pathway signaling. Beyond their well-established role in sports nutrition, BCAAs have been widely studied in clinical contexts such as cancer, liver cirrhosis, and cachexia due to their ability to preserve muscle mass and modulate metabolic responses in catabolic states.......

Abstract: Background: The search for sustainable materials in civil construction has driven research on mineral waste as alternatives to Portland cement. This study presents a comprehensive characterization of Crushed Granite Powder Residue (CGPR) from Tracuateua (PA, Brazil), evaluating its potential as a supplementary cementitious material. The research is part of the broader context of seeking sustainable solutions in civil construction, motivated by the environmental impacts associated with cement production, particularly CO₂ emissions. Tracuateua, in northeastern Pará, is a significant granite extraction hub, generating large quantities of mineral waste without proper disposal, highlighting the importance of valorizing such materials.......

Keywords: Crushed Granite Powder, supplementary cementitious material, pozzolanic activity, sustainability.

Abstract: The adoption of FASTag, a digital toll payment system introduced by the Government of India, has shown uneven uptake across regions, with Jammu and Kashmir reflecting slower adoption due to infrastructural and behavioral barriers. This study investigates the determinants of FASTag adoption intention using Rogers’ Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT). A structured questionnaire was administered to 401 vehicle users in J&K, and responses were analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) in SmartPLS 4.0. The findings reveal that.......

Abstract: This paper presents a novel algorithm, monitored by a terminal and based on traveling waves, developed to detect faults in transmission lines slightly longer than half a wavelength. The algorithm demonstrates the ability to identify all fault types while remaining resilient to power oscillations, including the unprecedented capacity to discern faults occurring during such oscillations. The system was modeled in ATP software and the methodology implemented in MATLAB, applying the Karrenbauer transform to decouple current signals and the Teager energy operator to extract incident.......

Abstract: Resumo: Introdução: A globalização tem promovido a homogeneização cultural, impactando diretamente as formas de organização social, econômica e ambiental. Pressões ameaçam a diversidade cultural e a sustentabilidade dos territórios. Nesse cenário, torna-se indispensável a busca por metodologias capazes de promover inclusão, inovação social e desenvolvimento sustentável. O Design Thinking, como abordagem centrada no ser humano e baseada em empatia, colaboração e experimentação, apresenta-se como alternativa relevante para enfrentar desafios complexos e alinhar-se aos princípios da Agenda 2030.
