Award Ceremony Will Be Between October 20 and 23 at ENEGEP 2020. In total, there were 23 competitors in four categories

Student Marina Weil Afonso, from the Professional Master’s in Logistics, from the Department of Industrial Engineering at Cátedra Técnico Científica da PUC-Rio (CTC/PUC-Rio), had her dissertation elected as the best Professional Master’s of 2020 by the Brazilian Association of Production Engineering (ABEPRO).

The study “Simulation Applied in the Logistics of Loading of Oil Derivative for Maritime Shipment” suggests simulations of possible scenarios to evaluate and propose improvements in the loading formation for maritime shipment of an oil derivative. “These analyses are important for decision-making in managing refinery stocks and the supply chain,” emphasizes Prof. Fernando Luiz Cyrino Oliveira, advisor of the dissertation.

The award ceremony will be during the 40th National Meeting of Production Engineering (ENEGEP Web 2020), between October 20 and 23, in a virtual format. The student will receive a digital certificate, a registration for ENEGEP in the editions of 2020 and 2021, and her work will be disclosed on the site of ABEPRO.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Hong Kong leads the ranking of the most expensive fuel in the world and is suffering from a global crisis.

A 183-million-year-old fossil shines like gold inside black rock in Germany, but a microscope revealed that the golden shine is not pyrite as everyone believed for decades: it is phosphate, and the difference changes everything.

Toyota is preparing the new 2028 Corolla Cross with 7 seats, an extended wheelbase of +15 cm, up to 4.65 m in length, hybrid with 100 km in electric mode, more efficient 1.5 and 2.0 turbo engines, and Safety Sensing 4.0 technology with AI and remote updates.

Giant refrigerator arrives in Ceará with a new factory to slaughter 1,000 cattle per day and promises to shake up the livestock industry in the state.

Only 25% believe in Brazil’s title at the 2026 World Cup, the lowest level of optimism in the historical series and a sign of a crisis in national confidence.

At 625 meters above the ground and with a span of 1,420 meters between mountains, China inaugurated the highest bridge in the world — and the 2-hour journey now takes 2 minutes.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.
