Abstract: The Amazon is one of the most complex and diverse biomes in the world and their level of environmental preservation has global scope of impact. However, apart from the environmental aspects, the complexity of the region involves other different views such as: social, economic and cultural. Indeed, such views are inextricably linked, so that, for example, cultural aspects can affect the relationship between the land use and land cover and, in the case of Amazon, depending on the scale of these changes, there may be consequences planetary. Depending on the criticality involving the region, various government actions, organizations and social movements and the international community, has been trying to rationalize the land use and land cover, in order to create a sustainable relationship of exploitation of natural resources. An important government program is based on the creation of settlements, with their support, with regard to certain infrastructure financing, machinery, seeds and se

Abstract: Plastics have been one of the fastest growing materials due to versatility, wide range of applications and relatively at low. As the duration of useful life of plastic products is relatively small, a vast plastics waste stream is creating a serious environmental problem. Disposal of post-consumer plastics is being a serious constraint, a considerable demand for alternatives to disposal or land filling. Among the alternatives, production of liquid fuel would be a better alternative as the calorific value of plastics is comparable to that of fuels, around 40 MJ/kg. Other properties of the oil derived from waste plastics were also similar to the petroleum-based diesel. In the present work, blends of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% Waste Plastic Oil (WPO) with diesel and 100% WPO are considered to investigate the performance, and emission characteristics in an existing diesel engine. For better understanding of the results, an injection time of 230 BTDC, 200 bar fuel injection pressure, and a 3 holes i
