Abstract:
Managing water resources around the world requires challenges imposed by natural and anthropogenic processes. Having knowledge about water resources, whether qualitative or quantitative, almost always depends on monitoring rainfall stations for their temporal and spatial understanding. Monitoring dry and wet seasons in a country or region is a difficult problem, especially when the network of meteorological stations is sparse or does not cover the entire area. The Integrated Multisatellite Retrieval of Global Precipitation Measurements (IMERG) produces and provides a source of high-resolution spatial and temporal precipitation estimates obtained by satellites and has been widely used since its launch in 2014, providing global precipitation data since 2000. In the present study, the performance of the GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) product (IMERG-final run) was evaluated in the MATOPIBA region, located in the northern and northeastern regions of Brazil, from October 2000 to September 2021. The monthly and annual IMERG estimates were compared against the rainfall data from 197 ground stations in the study region belonging to the Agência Nacional das Águas (ANA). The metrics used for this study’s analysis of IMERG’s performance in detecting rainfall were both quantitative and qualitative. The IMERG estimates overestimated those of the rain gauges by about 13%. However, the performance result was quite satisfactory for the estimation of rainfall events, both monthly and annually, that is, excellent correlation with their spatial and temporal distribution as well as their volume. It was concluded that this product is a satisfactory source of alternative rainfall data, especially in areas without a dense network of rain gauges, such as the study region.

Title:
A New Vehicle Routing Problem: When Duration Constraints and Strategic Support Deposit Coexist
Authors:

International Journal of Latest Engineering Research and Applications, pp 44 - 54, Vol 09 - No. 02, 2024
Abstract:
This article presents a new variant for the vehicle routing problem, called vehicle routing problem with duration constraints and support deposit (SD-DCVRP), identified from the route studies of a shipping company located in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte. This variant can be described as a VRP with two deposits, one with greater importance, from which all deliveries depart, but which has the characteristic of being peripheral, and a second deposit that has a centralized location in relation to other cities and that acts as support to the first. The goal of SD-DCVRP is to minimize total journey time and reduce the number of vehicles used. In this study, variations of existing mathematical models were proposed to solve the problem, considering that, for the situation studied, there are a small number of vertices. The data used for the tests were generated by a Monte Carlo simulation obtained from real data provided by the shipping company. The results obtained and the propositions conceived were considered to be relevant to both the scientific and the technical aspect.

Abstract:
Food is the most basic necessity of life. It contains the required vitamins, minerals and nutrients that are essential for the growth, repair and maintenance of the tissues present in the body. Most importantly, it provides the body with necessary energy to function properly. It is impossible to function without food. This is why production and consumption of food has been a major human activity for centuries now, but the use of modern methods and techniques to produce, process and pack food has increased the danger of being exposed to chemical compounds. Adapting advanced technologies in food production is leading to the mix up of chemicals with food which knowingly or unknowingly is causing a lot of health problems to the consumers or at times even death. Our ancestors had access to natural food products and kitchenware, which played a major role in maintaining their health, whereas in present times, it is very difficult to find chemical free food products. Chemicals are used in every step of the food production process. Pesticides and fertilisers are sprayed on crops to yield better, antibiotics and hormonal injections are given to poultry and cattle to breed and grow faster and now we also have chemically enhanced kitchen utensils which are all plausible reasons for the deterioration of health.
