Authors: Gamboa Mariana , Guerra María Elena
Published: February 2021

El Odontopediatra como profesional de la salud puede detectar inicialmente signos y síntomas de maltrato físico por las lesiones buco-faciales que presente un niño. En ocasiones estas señales no pueden ser percibidas a causa de la falta de conocimiento sobre maltrato y abandono infantil. Dentro del maltrato infantil se describen manifestaciones bucales entre las cuales no se menciona la candidiasis bucal
El caso clínico motivo de estudio se refiere a un lactante que presentó inicialmente una candidiasis bucal generalizada, que por su complicación derivo en hospitalización, a pesar del tratamiento intrahospitalario progresó a un absceso y posteriomente a una celulitis facial de origen desconocido. Se sospechó que la candidiasis bucal era un signo temprano de una manifestación bucal del Virus de Inmunodeficiencia Humana (VIH), cuyo diagnóstico fue descartado mediante pruebas de biología molecular Reacción en Cadena a la Polimerasa (PCR) para VIH.

Authors: Travassos Gustavo , De Souza Pereira Danilo , Meschini Almeida Carlos Frederico , Leite Rosa Luiz Henrique , Kagan Nelson , De Souza Brito José Antônio
Published: February 2021

In power distribution systems, short-circuit events imply long service response time, affecting the quality of service. Although many research works propose fault location methodologies, which are based on meta-heuristics, artificial intelligence and travelling waves, most power utilities do not have the data requested by such approaches. Consequently, maintenance crews locate faults through field searches, considering the operation of protection devices and affected customers' phone calls, characterizing a procedure that may last some hours. This work proposes a practical fault location methodology, considering the current scenario of few metering data concerning the short-circuit events. Based on case studies results, the proposed methodology is considered effective. It may be executed in few seconds and leads to satisfactory results.

Authors: S. Melo Denise , W. Oliveira Leonardo , G. Oliveira Janaína
Published: February 2021

Velocidade de vento consiste em uma variável aleatória cuja previsão é importante para diversas áreas, como o planejamento da operação de sistemas elétricos de potência com penetração de energia fotovoltaica. Esta variável é função de outras variáveis aleatórias, como a própria velocidade de vento em momentos anteriores, radiação global e temperatura. Redes Neurais Artificiais (RNA) vêm sendo utilizadas com frequência na construção de modelos para solucionar problemas relacionados à previsão de séries temporais em diferentes áreas. Sendo assim, o presente trabalho apresenta a implementação de uma RNA, treinada com dados extraídos de uma estação meteorológica localizada na cidade de Juiz de Fora, cujo propósito é prever velocidade de vento futura a partir de valores passados das variáveis aleatórias correlacionadas.

Authors: Nascimento Gabriel , R. Saavedra Osvaldo , A. Feitosa Sandoval , S. da Silva Junior Gilson
Published: February 2021

The increasing penetration of renewable energy sources in Brazil’s north and northeast regions indicates economic development, employment generation and income, as well as several other environmental externalities. However, in terms of electric system operations, this situation raises concerns, mainly due to the entry of new wind farms and of the incipient but growing portion of photovoltaic solar generation. In this paper, we discuss the use of natural gas to provide greater flexibility and resilience to the electric system and thus mitigate the impact of the great variability of generation in the region where they preferentially occur. Gas turbines are characterized by rapid response ramps to generation-load changes, and can be used in the gas-to-power success model.
Controle de Frequência de Microrredes Considerando Elementos Armazenadores de Energia e Fontes Renováveis
Authors: Clamer Jaqueline , Simões Costa Antonio
Published: February 2021

Esse trabalho propõe estratégias de controle para uma microrrede de corrente alternada, que opera majoritariamente no modo ilhado e cuja geração é composta por fontes renováveis. Essas fontes, em geral, não possuem inércia suficiente para impedir grandes desvios de frequência quando há desbalanço entre carga e geração. Dessa forma, propõe-se o uso de sistemas armazenadores de energia em baterias (BESS, da sigla em Inglês), os quais possuem tempo de resposta baixo e podem injetar ou consumir potência da rede de forma quase instantânea. O objetivo desse trabalho é explorar as propriedades do BESS para reduzir a magnitude dos desvios de frequência da microrrede promovendo um melhor equilíbrio entre geração e carga. Estuda-se uma estratégia capaz de acionar os sistemas de armazenamento de energia para reduzir desvios de frequência sob condições normais de carregamento. Além disso, levando em conta também o fato de que sistemas de armazenamento tem potência limitada, é importante monitorar continuamente o estado de carga (SoC), a fim de preservar a vida útil da bateria. As estratégias de controle propostas são simuladas em um sistema-teste típico através da ferramenta Simulink, da plataforma computacional Matlab.

Authors: Garbelim Pascoalato Tainá Fernanda , Torrez Caballero Pablo , Kurokawa Sérgio
Published: February 2021

Um modelo de linhas de transmissão bifásicas é desenvolvido diretamente no domínio do tempo com base no método a parâmetros concentrados. Neste modelo, considera-se que uma linha de transmissão bifásica é representada por uma cascata de circuitos L acoplados. Como os parâmetros empregados nessa representação são constantes, é possível obter as correntes e tensões ao longo da linha diretamente no domínio do tempo. As tensões e correntes obtidas com o modelo proposto no domínio do tempo são comparadas com as tensões e correntes obtidas com a solução da linha de transmissão no domínio da frequência transformadas para o domínio do tempo. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que o modelo proposto é válido para linhas de transmissão bifásicas a parâmetros constantes sem a utilização de matrizes de decomposição modal.

Published: February 2021

Neste artigo é proposta uma nova técnica de modulação baseada na teoria de vetores espaciais para o conversor modular multinível. Essa técnica emprega um algoritmo de seleção com 4 pontos de referência para obter a sequência padrão de pulso das tensões trifásicas do braço superior e inferior em uma frequência de comutação reduzida. Essa técnica opera em uma frequência de comutação baixa e gera N +1 níveis na forma de onda de saída do inversor e tem uma baixa ondulação na tensão dos capacitores dos submódulos e também, ée adaptada para ser compatível com o algoritmo de classificação para equilibrar a tensão de cada capacitor do submódulo do braço do conversor. A técnica proposta possui quatro etapas principais que são apresentadas em detalhe.

Authors: De A. Coelho Rodrigo , S. D. Brito Núbia , M. Lima Érica
Published: February 2021

A disseminação de harmônicos no sistema elétrico de potência tem alavancado a área de qualidade da energia elétrica, na qual se destacam as pesquisas relacionadas à interpretação da potência elétrica em condições não-senoidais, visto que, para sinais distorcidos, o cálculo de potência tradicional é inadequado. Este fato tem motivado o desenvolvimento de diversas teorias de potência que contemplam a existência de sinais distorcidos em um circuito. Nesse contexto, este trabalho apresenta um estudo que teve como objetivo analisar os efeitos da distorção harmônica da tensão no cálculo de potência segundo duas teorias, a Teoria CPC e a Norma IEEE 1459. A partir de um circuito não-linear, analisou-se as potências definidas em cada teoria. Os resultados evidenciaram que a análise das potências deve ser efetuada em conjunto com a característica de operação do circuito, de modo a evitar interpretações equivocadas.

Published: February 2021

Monitoring construction activities is very much essential in order to make sure that the construction done is safe and is of good quality. Due to lack of proper supervision in construction activities may lead to faulty construction, which may be disastrous at times. Telemonitoring is the use of information technology to monitor something from a distant place. There are some important construction activities like shuttering, bar binding, concreting which can be monitored by a supervisor who is situated from a distant place using video call of smart phones. In this process,2 persons are required.1 person is required to be present at the construction site with a smart phone with a working camera and the other person (or the supervisor) in a distant location is required to possess a smart phone with the working drawings of the construction activities. In this paper, we will see how a supervisor from a distant place can check the shuttering and bar binding work done using smart phone. And how he also can monitor the concrete being prepared using smart phone, if it is done at site. The supervisor can also monitor whether the concreting, masonry work is being done properly or not using smart phone.

Published: February 2021

The large-scale study of proteins is referred to as proteomics and is often regarded as an emerging technology when compared to genomics or transcriptomics, that is, as not having reached the same level of maturity. While the successful implementation of proteomics workflows and technology still requires significant levels of expertise and specialization, great strides have been made to make the technology more powerful, streamlined and accessible. Many outstanding improvements in the large scale study of proteins and many other but related improvements in plant biotechnology techniques offer various new ways to encourage the usage by plant breeders for crop improvement. A combinatorial approach of accelerated gene discovery through genomics, proteomics, and other important branches of biotechnology, as an applied approach, is proving to be an effective way to speed up the crop improvement programs of the world. This review present and discuss the potentials of protomics as an effective biotechnological tool for crop improvement programs, especially how it helps in the investigation of both biotic and abiotic stress tolerance mechanisms in plants and this to a very large extent will lead to sustainable agriculture.

Authors: SOBAMIWA O.
Published: February 2021

Lowman Brown hens, 37 – week – old were used to study the effect of dietary inclusion of 10 and 20% cocoa husk meal (CHM) at the expense of maize on hen performance and egg quality. The trial was conducted for 10 weeks. Egg production (EP), egg weight (EW), egg mass (EM), feed consumption (FC), and feed efficiency (FC) were cost/kg egg, shell weight, percentage shell and yolk colour index. Inclusion of 10 and 20% CHM in laying hen diets had no significant effect (P <0.05) on EP, EM and FE. However, FC was high appeared to be compensated for by increased egg weight. Shell weight and percent shell were not affected by dietary treatment while the 20% CHM diet increased yolk colour index. Feed cost/kg egg was lowered by feeding the test diets. The present study has shown that laying hens can tolerate and produce eggs economically on diets incorporating up to 20% CHM.

Published: February 2021

The experiment reported herein considered the effect of using solvent extracted thevetia oil which was subjected to heat treatment at 110°C for 25 minutes. Four experimental diets consisting of a basal diet and three other diets in which 2.5, 5.0 and 10% of the control diet was replaced by the thevetia oil were formulated and fed to broilers during the finishing stage (4 - 8 weeks). Eighty broilers were individually weighed and randomly divided into four groups of 20 birds each and these were further divided into 4 replicates of 5 birds each. The four groups were then randomly allocated to the four dietary treatments. Feed Intake and Feed: Gain improved with increase in thevetia oil concentration (P<0.05). Flowever, there was a 10 significant effect of the dietary treatment on weight gain. increasing the concentration of thevetia oil improved the retention of both protein and fat (P<0.05). It was concluded that solvent extracted thevetia oil will serve as a valuable feed ingredient for finishing broiler if a mild heat treatment is employed since Some of the toxic compounds in it are probably thermolabile.

The study assessed the effect on performance and serum metabolites of ninety grower pigs fed extruded full-fat soyabean meal (ESBM) and cottonseed cake (CSC) as partial (-50%) and whole (100%) replacement  for groundnut cake (GNC) in practical-type  diets over 12 weeks feeding period. Ninety Large White X Landrace pigs average initial live weight of 30.50+1.4kg were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments and each treatment had three replicates The diets were iso-nitrogenous and iso-caloric. The ESBM in the diets showed an  improvement in average daily weight gain and eed conversion. Diet in which there was 50%replacement of GNC with ESBM gave the best  result (P<0.05). However, general trend showed a numerical increase with levels of ESBM and CSC in the diets. Serum albumin  and cholesterol levels were significantly (P<0.05) reduced by inclusion of extruded full-fat soyabean meal, and CSC while serum creatinine level was increased.

Genetic relationship among Nigeria's breeds of sheeps and crosses was studied using microsatellite DNA polymorphisms. DNA samples extracted from four Nigeria's breeds of sheeps (West African Dwarf,the balami, Uda and yankassa) and crosses were analysed using 30 microsatellite markers for diversity studies. Twenty of the makers were by the sheeps genome . Nineteen of the loci were polymorphic and were used to calculate genetic distances (Ds) between the based on allelefrequences of microsatellite. The phylogenetic relatioship between the breeds were similarly estimated. With the total number of loci studied, 285 alleles were generated and a high decree of heterozysity was recorded, (0.57 to 0.72), a relative high degree of relaibility could be placed on the tree topology with the relationship between breeds potraying a closer relationship between the yankassa and Uda (Ds 0.356). The genetic distance (Ds) was 0.432, 0.534 and 0.665 between the African Dwarf and the Yankassa, Uda and Balami respectively also indictating a closer relatioship between the Yankassa, and the WAD compared to the basically Northern breeds (Uda and Balami). This further confirms the evolutionary divergence of the breeds which makes them distint entitles. The data suggests that microsatellite DNA markers are useful tools for studying the genetic relationship among these sheeps breeds. The high polymorphic alleles could thus be exploited in breeds improvement and development.

The reaction of urine collected from 40 non-pregnant and 40 pregnant Yorkshire X Landrace crossed bred gilt/sows to 1% barium chloride sulotion was highly (P<0.01) depent on pregnant status of the pigs, the test being 100% and 81% effective in identifying non-pregnant and pregnant pigs respectively.The sensitivity  of the test in the gravid ppigs was significantlt (P<0.05) influenced by, and tended to increase with, the stage of gestation with 59% of pigs in thier first trimester of gestation being correctly diagnosed as pregnant, and 95% - 100% of pigs in thier later stages of gestation being so correctly diagnosed. Parity and time of day of performance of the test had no effect on the urine reaction. It was concluded that the rest was least 95% accurate when used as from about 39 days after breeding for pregnancy diagnosis in pigs.
EVALUATION OF THE PRODUCTIVE AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCIES OF COWPEA HULL AND MAIZE OFFAL INCLUSION IN LAYERS' RATION
Authors: OJEWOLA G. S. , LONGE O. G.
Published: February 2021

Two types of agricultural wastes (cowpea hul and maize offal) were used as substitutes for maize as energy sources in layers' ration. Their productive and economic values were evaluated in a completely randomised designed experiment, with a view to curtailing the escalating cost of poultry feed production in Nigeria. The layers' rations were made cheaper by the partial replacement of the expensive maize component of the diet with maize offal and cowpea hull up to 30% level of inclusion. Egg weights (g) per bird were significantly improved (P<0.05), while average egg production per bird and percent day production were also improved, though not significantly (P>0.05). Addition of a 5% level of palm oil to some of the rations to boost their energy content proved economically disadvantageous. Since the 30% level of inclusion of the test ingredients reduced the cost per dozen eggs (N) and showed relatively no adverse effects on the birds' performance indices, both cowpea hull and maize offal are, therefore, highly recommended as replacements for maize, as energy sources in layers' ration

Published: February 2021

A feeding trial was conducted for six weeks to assess the optimum replacement value of processed rock phosphate (PRP) for bone meal and as a source of inorganic phosphorus in maize-cotton seed meal based diets. A total of 144 day old Snack 80 strain broiler chicks were used. Triplicate groups of 12 birds were randomly placed on 4 diets containing 0. 1.8, 2.8 and 5.64% PRP which contributed 0,0.16, 0.25 and 0.5% inorganic phosphorus in the diets respectively, Results showed PRP levels in dicts had no significant (P>0.05) effect on weight gain, growth rate and feed intake at 0 - 4 weeks. When 2.8% PRP replaced 2% of bone meal, feed efficiency was not significantly different from those birds fed 3% bone meal in control diet. Inclusion of 5.64% PRP significantly (P<0.01) depressed feed efficiency more than other treatment groups during the period. Addition of 5.64% PRP supported higher growth rate than other treatment groups during 5 - 6 weeks, but this was not significantly different from birds fed on control and 2.8% PRP diets. Feed efficiency was significantly (P>0.01) lowest in the group fed on 1.8% PRP diet. Weight gain, growth rate and feed intake were not significantly (P<0.01) affected by treatments during 0-6 weeks. It was concluded that 5.6+% PRP which supplied 0.5% inorganic phosphorus supported optimum performance in broiler birds replacing 100% bone meal in a liu diet and caused growth that was equinob-ut to the group fed on 3% bone meal mentraal diet.

Published: February 2021

The effects of the population density of adult African, giant land snail, Archachatina marginata on the egg-laying capacity and the growth of the brooders and hatchlings were investigated for 9 months. Ten culture pens were stocked with snails at 20%, 40%, 50%, 80% and 100% capacity with each group in 2 replicates. Average weight gain of brooders was highest in pens stocked at 40% population density while the lowest was in pen stocked at 100%. Average number of eggs laid per snail and average number of eggs per pen followed the same trend in the study. The highest average number of eggs laid per pen was obtained in pens stocked at 60% population density (586) while the least was from pens at 20% population density. The result was the same for the average number of eggs laid per snail i.e. 7.5 eggs in pens stocked at 60% and 4.1 eggs in pens stocked at 20%. There was no significant difference in the weights of hatchlings in the different pens.

Published: February 2021

Estimates of genetic and phenotypic parameters for lactation records of 143 ewes and growth performance of 134 lambs were examined using the paternal half-sib mixed model analysis. Heritability (h2) estimates for the curve parameters were 1.4, 0.3, 0.2 and 0.5 for a (level of general production), b (pre-peak curvature), c (post-peak curva-ture) and total lactation (T). The estimates of phenotypic and genetic correlations between the various curve parameters were mostly positive and moderate in magnitude. For the growth parameters, h2 estimates of 0.3 and 0.7 were obtained for birth weight (BWT) and 90- day weaning weight (WWT) respectively. The genetic and phenotypic correlations between these traits were 0.7 and 0.3 respectively. In conclusion the moderate estimates of h2 obtained for curve parameters in this study indicate that improvement of milk production performance of the Yankasa sheep through selection is possible. Similarly, the magnitude of the estimate of correlations between BWT and WWT probably indicates that selection based on BWT will improve WWT. Furthermore, preliminary, culling based on BWT is also possible.

Published: February 2021

A lesser known vegetable fat, sheabutter fat (SBF) was compared with palm oil (PO) as a dietary ingredient during the rearing phase of pullets. Black Harco grower- pullets (12 weeks old) were assigned to diets in which PO and SBF each quantitatively replaces maize at 2.5 and 5.0% and a fifth diet containing 2.5% each of both PO and SBF. At the 20th week, they were fed a common layer diet until sexual maturity was attained on all treatments. Results at the growing phase did not reveal any significant effects (P>0.05) on feed intake, weight gain, feed/gain and feed cost/weight gain. Sexual maturity was attained by 148, 149, 151, 155 and 158 days for pullets fed 5% Palm Oil, 2.5% SBF, 2.5% PO, 5% SBF and 2.5% SBF/PO diets respectively. PO and SBF at the levels studied were equally tolerated and could replace maize with no adverse effects or growth response. However, a delay in time of lay occurred when both oils were mixed in the diet.

Published: February 2021

Amino acid analysis and 2 growth studies were carried out to determine the effect of period of boiling of full-fat soyabeans on their nutritive value for weanling and growing pigs. Soyabeans were boiled in water for 15, 20, 25 or 30 minutes in Experiment 1 and 25, 30, 35 or 40 minutes in Experiment 2. Forty cross-bred (Large White x Hampshire) pigs were used in each of the experiments. Period of boiling had no effect on amino acid analysis of full-fat soyabeans. Weanling pigs had the best growth performance when soyabeans were boiled for 30 minutes ad this was not significantly different (P>0.05) from the soyabean meal control diet. Period of boiling of full-fat soyabeans did not significantly (P>0.05) affect the performance of the heavier pigs, although improvfement was observed up to 30 minutes of boiling.

Published: February 2021

An experiment was conducted with 66 day-old Hyperco cockerels. Cassava (Manihot esculenta) peels of mized varieties were used for this study which lasted for 8 weeks. The peels were harvested at between 9 - 10 months of age from the cassava plantation of the Institute of Agriculture Research and Training (I.A.R. & T), Moor Plantation, Ibadan. The chicks were randomly allotted to the two dietary treatments A (dry mash) and B (wet, "moist" mash). Each treatmet consisted  of 3 replicates. The mean daily feed intake, water consumption, body weight gain and feed conversion efficiency values showed significant differences (P<0.05) between treatments. Considering the ease in producing wet ("moist") feeds, their use in cockerel nuitrition offers tremendous commercial benefits if suitable equipment are developed for mixing and delivering them to the birds.

The growth performance of seve calves from different Mutura dams served by same bull was studied in a mini cattle ranch. Body measurements were taken and observed for growth over a period of 12 months. The result indicates an apparaent difference among the calves in all parameters measured including body weight, body length, height at withers and heratgirth. Growth rate also showed increased differences among the experimental calves. The birth weights of the seven calves ranged from 9.8 to 13.0kg, with a mean value of 11.42+0.44 while the yearling weights were between 107.80 and 129.48kg with an overall mean of 120.57+2.44. The coefficients of variation for body weight at birth and at 12 monthys were 10.16 and 5.36% respectively. The results further revealed that body weight at yearling age correlated positively with all parameters and these include body length (r=0.81889, r2 = 67.09), height at withers (r=0.8837, r2=78.09). Similarly, body length had a positive correlation with height at withers (r=0.9667, r2=93.45) and heartgirth (r=0.8782, r2=77.13). White height at withers correlated positively with heartgirth (r=0.9291, r2=86.42). Similar trends were obtained in the regression of each of the body measurements on the other in which body weight changes depended more on those of body length (0.56) than on heartgirth (0.34). Judging from the observed variations existing among the individual calves resulting from the different cows at birth and at 12 months of age, maternal rather than paternal influences appeared to be more important in the traits studied.
