description: In this paper we propose a setup for the weak measurement of photon arrival time. It is found that the weak values of this arrival time can lie far away from the expectation value, and in principle also in regions forbidden by special relativity. We discuss in brief the implications of these results as well as their reconciliation with the principle of causality. Furthermore, an analysis of the weak arrival times of a pair of photons in a Bell state shows that these weak arrival times are correlated.

description: Transfer RNA fragments (tRFs) are an emerging class of small RNA molecules derived from mature or precursor tRNAs. They are found across a wide range of organisms and tissues, in small RNA fraction or loaded to Argonaute in numbers comparable to microRNAs. Their functions and mechanisms of action are largely unknown, and results obtained on individual tRFs are often hard to generalize. Here we predicted binding mechanisms and specific target interaction sites of 26 human Argonaute-loaded tRFs of different types using large-scale meta-analyses of available experimental data. Strikingly, our findings matched all interaction sites detected in a recent experimental screen, confirming the validity of our computational approach. Such sites are primarily located on the 5ʹ end of tRFs and often involve additional binding along the tRF length, similar to microRNAs. Indicative of multiple layers of regulation, diverse regulatory non-coding RNAs comprised a third of the tRF targets, with the rest being protein-coding transcripts. In the latter, coding sequence and 3ʹ UTRs were the likely primary target regions, although we observed interactions of tRFs with 5ʹ UTRs. Another novel phenomenon we report, a large number of putative interactions between tRFs and introns, is compatible with the roles of Argonaute in the nucleus. Further, observed tRF-intron binding modes suggest a mechanism of interaction of tRFs with Argonaute-dependent introns, and we predict here >20 candidate introns of this type. Taken together, these results present tRFs as regulatory molecules with a rich functional spectrum.
The extended empirical process test for non-Gaussianity in the CMB, with an application to non-Gaussian inflationary models

description: In (Hansen et al. 2002) we presented a new approach for measuring non-Gaussianity of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy pattern, based on the multivariate empirical distribution function of the spherical harmonics a_lm of a CMB map. The present paper builds upon the same ideas and proposes several improvements and extensions. More precisely, we exploit the additional information on the random phases of the a_lm to provide further tests based on the empirical distribution function. Also we take advantage of the effect of rotations in improving the power of our procedures. The suggested tests are implemented on physically motivated models of non-Gaussian fields; Monte-Carlo simulations suggest that this approach may be very promising in the analysis of non-Gaussianity generated by non-standard models of inflation. We address also some experimentally meaningful situations, such as the presence of instrumental noise and a galactic cut in the map.

description: Resistivity measurements have been made on Nb cavities, as well as on Pb and Cu, at 296, 77, and 4.2 K by means of a contactless induced-current method. For superconductors, a constant magnetic field drives the material normal below the transition temperature. These measurements provide a simple means for initial material evaluation as well as a direct means of monitoring the effects of material parameters (purity, heat treatment, gas incorporation, etc.) on the electron mean free path. Approximate determinations of Hc, Hc1, and Hc2 can also be derived from these measurements. Normal-state thermal conductivity and the Ginzburg-Landau parameter kappa are calculated from the resistivity measurements.

Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in Reducing Stress in Nursing Students: An Integrative Review and Toolkit
Creators: name: Petko, Donna J
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: Across the country, nursing students are experiencing alarming amounts of stress. While stress is a common phenomenon, it has been shown to negatively impact nursing student performance and general health. One solution to this issue is mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). Reported effects of MBSR include stress reduction; mindfulness; improvements in self-esteem; increase in general health; a decrease in anxiety; and an increase in empathy. Because MBSR is not widely included in nursing curricula, students are not learning stress reduction techniques needed to manage daily stress. Purpose: To address this gap, a DNP project was implemented at a university site. The project’s purpose was two-fold: To increase the knowledge of faculty and to provide educational resources for students. Methods: A toolkit was developed that included a Power Point presentation for faculty; a copy of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS); and handouts on stress and MBSR techniques for students. Thirty-four faculty in an online family nurse practitioner program were offered the toolkit at one university in California; five faculty participated and completed the surveys. Results: Valuable data was obtained on the effectiveness of the presentation on faculty knowledge, perception, acceptance, and willingness to use the resources provided. Conclusion: When provided with a toolkit on stress and MBSR techniques, faculty became more aware of the significance of stress and stated they were willing to utilize the resources provided in future online classes.

description: We present X-ray spectroscopic evidence for the evolution of valence-specific spin states and tetragonal distortions in single-layer cobaltates. Measurements of Co $L_3$-edge resonant inelastic X-ray scattering reveal the $t_{2g}$ electronic structure of Co for hole-doped La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CoO$_4$ ($x$ = 0.5, 0.7 and 0.8). As the Sr-doping $x$ increases, the tetragonal splitting of the $t_{2g}$ states of high-spin Co$^{2+}$ decreases, whereas that of low-spin Co$^{3+}$ increases and the fraction of high-spin Co$^{3+}$ increases. The results enable us to clarify the origin of the change of magnetic anisotropy and in-plane resistivity in a mixed-valence cobaltate caused by the interplay of spin-orbit coupling and tetragonal distortion.

description: Coulomb corrections to perturbation theory for producing electron-positron pairs in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions are considered in a part-analytical, part-numerical approach. Production probabilities are reduced from perturbation theory with increasing charge of the colliding heavy ions, as has been previously argued in the literature. It is shown here that the reduction from perturbation theory comes from the appropriate physical spatial cutoff of the electromagnetic potentials arising from the colliding ultrarelativistic heavy ions.

Improving Pertussis Education for Postpartum Women and their Family Members
Creators: name: Unisa, Marlene
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Abstract
Background:The purpose of this DNP project was to synthesize evidenced based-research related to Tdap vaccination against pertussis for family members of pregnant and postpartum women in order to provide protection from pertussis for newborn infants through cocooning. Cocooning refers to the vaccination of family members and caregivers in close contact with the infant to protect the infant by lowering risk of acquiring pertussis from close contact through an infected family member.  
Methods: This project utilized the Health Belief Model to understand perceptions and predict behaviors related to the pertussis vaccination of family members who may come in contact with unvaccinated infants.  A toolkit was provided to the nursing staff at the University of California San Francisco Benioff Children’s Hospital, including an educational handout for nurses to use to educate family members of newly postpartum women.  The goal was to improve Tdap vaccination rates among family members to protect newborn infants from acquiring pertussis.
Results: Thirty-six nursing staff participated in the educational sessions (five in clinic, 36 from the birth center).  The majority of the respondents were Registered Nurses (n = 32) and some were Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN) (n = 4). Five areas were addressed through pre and post intervention surveys that assessed the following: Knowledge of pertussis or whooping cough; Knowledge about the term “protection through cocooning”; Likelihood of using an educational tool/handout for patients and families; Likelihood that an educational tool will be useful to patients; and Likelihood for an educational tool to increase rates of pertussis vaccinations.  Overall, there was a statistically significant result in the likelihood that the nurses would use an educational tool or handout to educate their patient and their family members about pertussis (p < .001).  The mean score of nurses’ likelihood that an educational tool will be useful to patients after to receiving the educational session was 4.78 (SD = 0.42). This represented a statistically significant difference in the mean pre- and post-education scores for the likelihood that an educational tool will be useful to patients. 
Conclusions: Nurses are the forefront of patient care and nursing education in an acute setting.  They are trusted and reliable sources for healthcare information and education.  Through this study we have examined the likelihood to use a tool or handout after an educational session.  Nurses on this unit have expressed that after an educational session, they were more knowledgeable of the subject matter and the information would be useful to patients to improve pertussis education for pregnant women and their family members.

description: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo a análise de vídeos que usuários encontram ao pesquisar sobre Física Quântica no YouTube. Considerando o quanto essa plataforma tem sido usada como fonte de estudos e informação por adolescentes em idade escolar, essa análise permite compreender como a divulgação e o ensino-aprendizagem de conceitos se manifestam nesse ambiente digital. Identificamos que ao buscar pelo termo “física quântica” no YouTube, os usuários recebem quatro tipos de vídeos: aulas virtuais, vídeos informativos, vídeos com tradução de conceitos científicos e vídeos com alusão a conceitos científicos. Sem auxílio para assistir criticamente a esses vídeos, os usuários podem acabar favorecendo a disseminação de concepções alternativas e de metáforas conceituais imprudentes, reforçando conflitos e dissonâncias com conceitos acadêmicos hegemônicos.

This paper has as its objective the analysis of videos that users find when searching for Quantum Physics on YouTube. Considering the way this platform has been used as a source of study and information by school-age teenagers, this analysis allows us to understand how the dissemination and learning of concepts has been happening in this digital environment. We have identified that by searching for the term “quantum physics” on YouTube, users receive four types of video: virtual classes, informational videos, videos translating scientific concepts, and videos alluding to scientific concepts. With no aid for a way of critically watching such videos, users may end up indulging the dissemination of alternative conceptions and of reckless conceptual metaphors, reinforcing conflicts and dissonances with the hegemonic academic concepts.

description: We study the meromorphic open-string vertex algebras and their modules over the two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds that are complete, connected, orientable, and of constant sectional curvature $K\neq 0$. Using the parallel tensors, we explicitly determine a basis for the meromorphic open-string vertex algebra, its modules generated by eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator, and their irreducible quotients. We also study the modules generated by lowest weight subspace satisfying a geometrically interesting condition. It is showed that every irreducible module of this type is generated by some (local) eigenfunction on the manifold. A classification is given for modules of this type admitting a composition series of finite length. In particular and remarkably, if every composition factor is generated by eigenfunctions of eigenvalue $p(p-1)K$ for some $p\in \mathbb{Z}_+$, then the module is completely reducible.

description: Let $G$ be a rank $n$ additive subgroup of $\bC$ and $\Vir[G]$ the corresponding Virasoro algebra of rank $n$. In the present paper, irreducible weight modules with finite dimensional weight spaces over $\Vir[G]$ are completely determined. There are two different classes of them. One class consists of simple modules of intermediate series whose weight spaces are all 1-dimensional. The other is constructed by using intermediate series modules over a Virasoro subalgebra of rank $n-1$. The classification of such modules over the classical Virasoro algebra was obtained by O. Mathieu in 1992 using a completely different approach.

description: Bacteria can move by a variety of mechanisms, the best understood being flagella-mediated motility. Flagellar genes are organized in a three-tiered cascade allowing for temporally regulated expression that involves both transcriptional and post-transcriptional control. The class I operon encodes the master regulator FlhDC that drives class II gene transcription. Class II genes include fliA and flgM, which encode the Sigma factor σ28, required for class III transcription, and the anti-Sigma factor FlgM, which inhibits σ28 activity, respectively. The flhDC mRNA is regulated by several small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs). Two of these, the sequence-related OmrA and OmrB RNAs, inhibit FlhD synthesis. Here, we report on a second layer of sRNA-mediated control downstream of FhlDC in the flagella pathway. By mutational analysis, we confirm that a predicted interaction between the conserved 5ʹ seed sequences of OmrA/B and the early coding sequence in flgM mRNA reduces FlgM expression. Regulation is dependent on the global RNA-binding protein Hfq. In vitro experiments support a canonical mechanism: binding of OmrA/B prevents ribosome loading and decreases FlgM protein synthesis. Simultaneous inhibition of both FlhD and FlgM synthesis by OmrA/B complicated an assessment of how regulation of FlgM alone impacts class III gene transcription. Using a combinatorial mutation strategy, we were able to uncouple these two targets and demonstrate that OmrA/B-dependent inhibition of FlgM synthesis liberates σ28 to ultimately promote higher expression of the class III flagellin gene fliC.

description: We present extensive molecular dynamics simulations of the motion of a single linear rigid molecule in a two-dimensional random array of fixed obstacles. The diffusion constant for the center of mass translation, $D_{\rm CM}$, and for rotation, $D_{\rm R}$, are calculated for a wide range of the molecular length, $L$, and the density of obstacles, $ρ$. The obtained results follow a master curve $Dρ^μ \sim (L^{2}ρ)^{-ν}$ with an exponent $μ= -3/4$ and 1/4 for $D_{\rm R}$ and $D_{\rm CM}$ respectively, that can be deduced from simple scaling and kinematic arguments. The non-trivial positive exponent $ν$ shows an abrupt crossover at $L^{2}ρ= ζ_{1}$. For $D_{\rm CM}$ we find a second crossover at $L^{2}ρ= ζ_{2}$. The values of $ζ_{1}$ and $ζ_{2}$ correspond to the average minor and major axis of the elliptic holes that characterize the random configuration of the obstacles. A violation of the Stokes-Einstein-Debye relation is observed for $L^{2}ρ> ζ_{1}$, in analogy with the phenomenon of enhanced translational diffusion observed in supercooled liquids close to the glass transition temperature.

Decreasing Hyperglycemia and Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Adolescents on the Insulin Pump: A Quality Improvement Project
Creators: name: Macharia, Jane
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: The rate of hyperglycemia in adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who use insulin pump therapy is three times higher than in those using multi-dose insulin. Current literature suggests that the causes of the increased hyperglycemia rate are insufficient patient education, missed insulin boluses for meals/snacks, pump malfunction, psychological effects, pubertal physiological changes, and adolescents’ risky behavior.
Purpose: This quality improvement project aimed to reduce the rate of hyperglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis in adolescents age 12–18 with T1DM on insulin pump therapy through evidence-based interventions.
Methods: Participants were recruited from four western Massachusetts public schools. Innovative diabetes self-care education and peer group support were used. Educational sessions and peer group knowledge discussions occurred once a week from January 10, 2017 to March 14, 2017.
Results: Findings indicated that the evidence-based educational program was effective in improving self-care skills in adolescents with T1DM on the insulin pump. The outcome showed that when knowledge of self-care management improved, the complications of TIDM such as hyperglycemia and DKA decreased.
Conclusion: A multifactorial approach integrated with psychosocial support will promote self-care activities and reduce the short- and long-term complications of T1DM in adolescents.

description: Loop quantum cosmology leads to a difference equation for the wave function of a universe, which in general has solutions changing rapidly even when the volume changes only slightly. For a semiclassical regime such small-scale oscillations must be suppressed, by choosing the parameters of the solution appropriately. For anisotropic models this is not possible to do numerically by trial and error; instead, it is shown here for the Bianchi I LRS model how this can be done analytically, using generating function techniques. Those techniques can also be applied to more complicated models, and the results gained allow conclusions about initial value problems for other systems.

description: We study the effects of quenched extended impurities on nonequilibrium phase transitions in the directed percolation universality class. We show that these impurities have a dramatic effect: they completely destroy the sharp phase transition by smearing. This is caused by rare strongly coupled spatial regions which can undergo the phase transition independently from the bulk system. We use extremal statistics to determine the stationary state as well as the dynamics in the tail of the smeared transition, and we illustrate the results by computer simulations.

description: Transposable elements (TEs) are increasingly recognized as important contributors to mammalian regulatory systems. For instance, they have been shown to play a role in the human interferon response, but their involvement in other mechanisms of immune cell activation remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the profile of accessible chromatin enhanced in stimulated human macrophages using ATAC-Seq to assess the role of different TE subfamilies in regulating gene expression following an immune response. We found that both previously identified and new repeats belonging to the MER44, THE1, Tigger3 and MLT1 families provide 14 subfamilies that are enriched in differentially accessible chromatin and found near differentially expressed genes. These TEs also harbour binding motifs for several candidate transcription factors, including important immune regulators AP-1 and NF-kB, present in 96% of accessible MER44B and 83% of THE1C instances, respectively. To more directly assess their regulatory potential, we evaluated their presence in regions putatively affecting gene expression, as defined by quantitative trait locus analysis, and found that repeats are also contributing to accessible elements near QTLs. Together, these results suggest that a number of TE families have contributed to the regulation of gene expression in the context of the immune response to infection in humans.This article is part of the discussion meeting issue ‘Crossroads between transposons and gene regulation’.
Increased Emergency Department Boarding Times

Prolonged boarding times (increased wait times for admitted patients) in the emergency department result in an increase in morbidity and mortality in critically ill adult patients admitted to the ICU. Overcrowding in the emergency department (ED), medication errors, and a delay in transfer to the ICU are the leading reasons for an increase in morbidity and mortality. This project focuses on a comprehensive assessment of a Las Vegas emergency department. The assessment will determine if the issues cited in the literature of:  1) overcrowding, 2) medication errors, and 3) delay in transfer are a current problem in the Las Vegas emergency department and based on the assessment data and evidence-based plan will be developed.

Year: 2017

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common condition characterized by hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention. Over 50% of children diagnosed with ADHD experience these symptoms into adulthood. The symptoms of ADHD a child exhibits can be very challenging for parents to manage and their understanding of the child’s behavior is often limited. Parenting programs include psychosocial interventions that teach techniques that parents can use to manage their child’s challenging behavior. Parent-focused education on managing symptoms for a child with ADHD has been shown to improve quality of life for both parents and child.
Objective: To determine whether parent training programs are effective in reducing parental stress, improving parenting skills to manage their child’s behavioral problems, and reducing child’s behavioral issues in children ages 4-17 years old diagnosed with ADHD.
Selection Criteria: The type of studies included were randomized controlled trials, non-randomized controlled trials, prospective cohort studies, and analytical cross sectional studies.
Methods: A toolkit was developed and shared with a health care provider working with children and included decision-making resources for parent training. The toolkit was provided to a total of seven families.
Results: Analysis of data collected demonstrated out of the four parents who were unaware of the resources, none attended a program (0%), but all of them were willing to try it out in the future (100%).  The rest of the three parents were already aware of the resources with all (100%) attending one of the behavioral intervention programs that resulted in all (100%) displaying reduction of stress and child behavioral issues as well as improvements in skills to manage their child with ADHD.
Conclusion: The review of evidence and the evaluation of the parents who attended parenting programs demonstrated parent training reduced parental stress as well as children’s behavioral issues and improved parenting skills to better manage their children.

description: We analyze the hadronic and radiative decay modes of the recently observed $D_{sJ}(2317)$ meson, in the hypothesis that it can be identifield with the scalar $s_\ell^P={1\over 2}^+$ state of $c \bar s$ spectrum ($D_{s0}$). The method is based on heavy quark symmetries and Vector Meson Dominance ansatz. We find that the hadronic isospin violating mode $D_{s0} \to D_s π^0$ is enhanced with respect to the radiative mode $D_{s0} \to D_s^* γ$. The estimated width of the meson is $Γ(D_{s0})\simeq 7$ KeV.

description: Non-equilibrium and equilibrium thermodynamics of an interacting component in a relativistic multi-component system is discussed covariantly by exploiting an entropy identity. The special case of the corresponding free component is considered. Equilibrium conditions and especially the multi-component Killing relation of the 4-temperature are discussed. Two axioms characterize the mixture: additivity of the energy momentum tensors and additivity of the 4-entropies of the components generating those of the mixture. The resulting quantities of a single component and of the mixture as a whole, energy, energy flux, momentum flux, stress tensor, entropy, entropy flux, supply and production are derived. Finally, a general relativistic 2-component mixture is discussed with respect to their gravitation generating energy-momentum tensors.

description: The study area is focused on the Philippine Trench, a hadal trench located in the axe of the collision of the Philippine Sea Plate and Sunda Plate, west Pacific Ocean. The research is aimed at the analysis of the trench geomorphology by a correlation between changes in slope steepness and environmental variables. The methodology consists in modeling data by statistical libraries of Python and R programming languages. The results revealed that variations in the slope steepness correlate with the sediment thickness across the Philippine Trench. Variations in the landform are caused by a combination of various factors that include geology, tectonic slab dynamics, and increasing depths in bathymetry. Algorithms of the advanced machine learning and graph-based analysis applied for the marine geological data set demonstrated in this research enabled to gain insights into the seafloor geomorphology that can only be accessible by remote sensing methods and modeling. Application of the statistical methods of the data analysis by Python and R packages has broad applicability to similar research aimed at modeling landform variations in the submarine geomorphology of the hadal trenches.

Magnetic phase transitions of insulating spin-orbit coupled Bose atoms in one-dimensional optical lattices

description: We consider the insulating spin-orbit coupled Bose atoms confined within one-dimensional optical lattices and explore their ground-state magnetic phase transitions. Under strong interactions, the charge degrees of atoms are frozen and the system can be described by an anisotropic XXZ Heisenberg chain with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and transverse field. We apply the matrix product state method to obtain low-energy states and analyze the lowest energy gaps and the ground-state magnetization and correlations. We find when the transverse field is absent, the ground state is a gapped ferromagnetic phase with long-range correlation in the z direction if the interspin s-wave interacting strength is stronger than that of the intraspin one, otherwise it is a gapless Luttinger liquid (LL) phase with algebraic decaying correlation. When the transverse field is turned on, the gapless LL phase is broken, there emerges a long-range correlated phase with ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic or spiral order, which depends on the DM interaction strength. We believe our study provides a complete understanding of the interplay between SOC and quantum magnetism of spinor atoms in optical lattices.

Crypticerya brasiliensis

description: Crypticerya brasiliensis (Hempel) (Fig. 1A, B)
 Icerya brasiliensis Hempel 1900: 370.
 Icerya braziliensis Hempel 1912: 18. Misspelling of species epithet.
 Crypticerya brasiliensis Unruh and Gullan 2008a: 26. Change of combination.
 Unmounted material (adapted from Hempel 1900). Adult female elliptical, pink; antennae and legs dark brown; entirely covered with white secretion consisting of one long caudal tuft, one cephalic tuft, a marginal and a submarginal row of nine tufts on each side, and a central longitudinal mass of secretion; a tuft on each side of both caudal and cephalic tufts longer than other marginal tufts (Figure 1B, arrow). Anal tuft up to 20.5 mm long; caudal and cephalic tufts usually fluted with four longitudinal ribs. Ovisac large, white, sometimes showing a creamy tinge, distal end curved up, convex beneath and slightly striated longitudinally; dorsum and sides of ovisac longitudinally fluted, with 14 or 15 longitudinal furrows.
 Remarks. In life, the arrangement of waxy secretions in C. brasiliensis, C. multicicatrices and C. zeteki is superficially similar, namely the presence of a long caudal tuft and a shorter cephalic tuft. Crypticerya multicicatrices can be easily differentiated from the other two species by the shorter waxy tufts laterad to the long caudal tuft, which are no more than twice the length of other short marginal tufts. In C. brasiliensis, the waxy tufts laterad to the long caudal tuft are usually three or more times longer than other marginal tufts (Fig. 1B). Another iceryine species, C. zeteki (Fig. 1F) also recorded from Colombia has a similar arrangement of waxy secretions. According to the photograph of the type material provided by Kondo and Unruh (2009) and Figure 1F from specimens collected on D. lutescens (Arecaceae) in Tumaco, Nariño, Colombia, the waxy tufts laterad to the long caudal tuft in C. zeteki are about three times longer than the shorter marginal tufts, thus overlapping with C. brasiliensis. Crypticerya multicicatrices (Fig. 1E) appears to be recognizable to some extent by external morphology, however, the only way to identify these three species correctly is to slide-mount them and key out them according to their cuticular morphology.

description: A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar se a abertura direta do capital das cooperativas agropecuárias, pela emissão de títulos de dívida (debêntures), possui viabilidade econômica. Para tanto, faz uma revisão crítica da literatura, expondo os problemas de capitalização e financiamento das cooperativas agropecuárias e a emissão das debêntures como uma opção às restrições de crédito. Quanto à metodologia, a pesquisa utilizou a tipologia do estudo de caso, tendo como objeto de estudo, uma cooperativa agropecuária localizada no estado do Paraná. Pelos resultados apurados, verificou-se que a abertura direta do capital pela emissão das debêntures não pode ser realizada por toda e qualquer cooperativa. É necessário que estudos preliminares identifiquem seu equilíbrio econômico-financeiro, sua capacidade de pagamento e a transparência de sua gestão (governança corporativa cooperativa). Se os pré-requisitos forem atendidos, a cooperativa agropecuária poderá auferir as vantagens da emissão, dentre as quais se destacam: o planejamento sob medida para atender determinado projeto de investimento, o alongamento da dívida e custos menores de captação, a depender da taxa básica de juros da economia brasileira.
