Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future (SAEF) is an international, interdisciplinary research program funded by the Australian government that seeks to understand in depth the impact of climate change on the ecosystems of the White Continent.
As part of this initiative, researchers are deployed to Antarctica each year to study in the field the environmental changes occurring in the polar region and in particular to analyze how mosses are adapting to the new conditions caused by climate change, especially those related to the increase in temperatures and UV-B radiation.
The promising results obtained by the research team of the Metallurgical Engineering Department led them to apply for a patent for a “Method for extraction of copper in solution from concentrates, with retention of iron in solids.”

PowerPoint is one of the most widely used tools to design effective presentations that help communicate ideas and generate audience interest. However, these objectives are not always achieved.
Progress has been made in this technology at our University, thanks to iSlidesRC, a set of software components compiled as an add-in for PowerPoint, which allows the creation of interactive and editable slides during the projection of the presentation. The audience can also participate by editing the slides from their mobile devices.
