title: Parametric analysis of natural lighting and sun protection in twisted buildings

description: Abstract This paper aims to analyse how parametric modelling (PM) and computer simulations can assist in the evaluation of the performance of natural lighting and the insolation of non-orthogonal buildings during the design process. In order to compare different percentages of transparency of the facade windows, as well as different types of sun protection to assess natural lighting inside a model building, and the incidence of solar radiation on the facade, 6 experiments were performed in the Rhinoceros program with the Grasshopper, Ladybug and Honeybee plug-ins. The present study focuses solely on the analysis of the relationship between the shape of the openings and the solar protections on the performance of natural lighting and the incidence of sunlight. The results showed that the building's torsion does not contribute to better levels of natural lighting inside, making certain areas of the facade more exposed to solar radiation, while other areas were more protected due to self-shading. The original contribution of this paper is the application of parametric modelling and simulation in the design process and as a means to evaluate the performance of twisted buildings.

title: Acoustic performance improvement for social interest dwelling internal wall using numerical simulation

description: Abstract New housing projects aim to meet at least the minimum levels established by the Brazilian standard for residential buildings performance, NBR 15575:2013. However, it is not uncommon to find buildings that fail to meet its criteria. This paper presents a case study consisting of the acoustic modelling of a dwelling in a social housing project, with the aim of finding a better solution for the building’s vertical internal walls. Measurements were performed inside the dwelling and a numerical model was generated using the ray tracing method. The model was calibrated by experimental D nT,w (weighted standardized level difference) and used to perform numerical simulations of various configurations. Finally, the results of the solution configurations are discussed with regards to their acoustic performance.

title: The influences of the type of information on the purchase intention and performance expectation of residential real estate properties

description: Abstract During the Purchase Decision Process (PDP), consumers use limited information to evaluate the value of an asset, considering that they do not have access to complete and adequate information, lack of knowledge and experience. Technical information about building performance can be used as differential attributes in the PDP. This research seeks to analyze the influence of technical information on the purchase intention and performance expectations of residential real estate consumers. Two studies were conducted, with different but complementary characteristics, the first one being exploratory and qualitative and the second one being experimental and quantitative. The results showed that information, regardless of its content and format, has a significant impact both on purchase intention and performance expectation when provided to the consumer during the purchasing process. However, the information content and format as used in the advertisements developed for this study’s experiment showed no significant differences in the variables analyzed. The main contribution of this work is to provide subsidies to improve the adaptation of real estate marketing advertisements and guarantee better and qualified information to consumers.

title: Spontaneous chromosomal instability in peripheral blood lymphocytes from two molecularly confirmed Italian patients with Hereditary Fibrosis Poikiloderma: insights into cancer predisposition

description: Abstract Two Italian patients with the initial clinical diagnosis of Rothmund-Thomson syndrome were negative for RECQL4 mutations but showed in peripheral blood cells a spontaneous chromosomal instability significantly higher than controls. Revisiting after time their clinical phenotype, the suggestive matching with the autosomal dominant syndrome Poikiloderma, Hereditary Fibrosing with Tendon Contracture, Myopathy and Pulmonary fibrosis (POIKTMP) was confirmed by identification of the c.1879A&gt;G (p.Arg627Gly) alteration in FAM111B. We compare the overall clinical signs of our patients with those of reported carriers of the same mutation and present the up-to-date mutational repertoire of FAM111B and the related phenotypic spectrum. Our snapshot highlights the age-dependent clinical expressivity of POIKTMP and the need to follow-up patients to monitor the multi-tissue impairment caused by FAM111B alterations. We link our chromosomal instability data to the role of FAM111B in cancer predisposition, pointed out by its implication in DNA-repair pathways and the outcome of pancreatic cancer in 2 out of 17 adult POIKTMP patients. The chromosomal instability herein highlighted well connects POIKTMP to cancer-predisposing syndromes, such as Rothmund-Thomson which represents the first hereditary poikiloderma entering in differential diagnosis with POIKTMP.

title: Transcriptional response of immune-related genes in Litopenaeus vannamei cultured in recirculating aquaculture systems with elevated CO2

description: ABSTRACT This short-term study evaluated the effect of non-lethal high CO2 concentration on the transcriptional response of immune-related genes of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) cultured in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). Two experimental groups were created: high CO2 (47.67±2.04 mg L−1) and low CO2 (2.0±1.93 mg L−1). Shrimp of 8.85±1.20 g were placed randomly at a density equivalent to 100 individuals m−3 and were monitored at 6, 12, 18, and 24 h. The transcriptional response of immune-related genes was analyzed by qPCR. Gene expression of hemocyanin, prophenoloxidase, and heat shock protein 60 was downregulated at 24 h, suggesting affectations on oxygen transportation, melanization, and protein functioning of L. vannamei under high CO2 concentrations. Also, gene up-regulation of lipopolysaccharide- and β-glucan-binding protein and cytosolic manganese superoxide dismutase can impair the bacterial recognition and antioxidant defense of shrimp exposed to high CO2 concentrations. These results suggest that concentration at about 47 mg L−1 of CO2 can significantly influence the transcriptional response modulation of immune-related genes.

title: Evaluation of rheological properties of mortar with TiO2 addition

description: Abstract Adding TiO2 tocoating mortars is carried out to promote self-cleaning through photocatalytic activity. However, this addition influences the workability of the mortar and, consequently, the application stage as the TiO2 used can present a large number of fine particles and a high surface area, increasing the demand for mixing water, requiring consistency adjustments before coating. In this work, three mortars (two with the addition of different types of TiO2 and one reference) were developed on a laboratory scale to maintain similar workability, using the flow table test. The amount of kneading water was changed to maintain a spread of 220 ± 10 mm and the content of air-entrained was kept constant, around 25%. The mortars were evaluated using the squeeze flow method. Then, a blind test was performed to assess the mason sensitivity during handling and application of the coating, and all mortars were considered similar. However, the yield of the compositions with TiO2 addition was lower compared to the reference composition, making it possible to explain the results based on the physical parameters of the formulations and with a more in-depth analysis of the rheological indices obtained by the squeeze flow test.

title: Operation and maintenance of grid-connected photovoltaic systems: thermographic inspection and cleaning of PV modules

description: Abstract Photovoltaic systems (PV) are expanding in Brazil, accompanied by the implementation of good practices for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of photovoltaic plants. There is, however, a gap of knowledge in the field. Procedures for the identification and prevention of failures have helped in the search for the better performance, safety and availability of these systems. This paper presents methods for thermographic inspection and cleaning of PV modules, in addition to calculating generation losses. The study was conducted in the PV plants of the Federal Institute of Minas Gerais (IFMG), on the Betim and Congonhas campuses. The generation values were obtained from data acquisition systems at the plants. A qualitative thermographic inspection revealed that 12.7% of the Betim plant modules had hot spots. Through the cleaning of this system, generation losses of up to 22.25%, caused by the soiling of the modules, were estimated. In Congonhas, these losses reached 56.86%, possibly caused by air pollution. These results highlight the importance of preventive maintenance and monitoring of the systems, with the aim of achieving greater durability and energy performance of PV plants.

title: Degradation of rendered facades in the buildings of Brasília, Brazil

description: Abstract The incidence of degradation agents on buildings engenders degradation mechanisms which lead to the development of anomalies that impair the performance of the building's systems. Hence, investigating the relationship between anomalies, agents and mechanisms is essential to provide valuable information for studies on service life and the development of more durable materials, components and elements.The aim of this study is to investigate the severity and extent of the degradation of rendered facades, identifying patterns that may affect their degradation. This study’s approach is based on the inspection of buildings in use, using the Degradation Measurement Method. The method is applied to analyse 90 facade samples from buildings aged between 20 and 60 years, in the Brazilian capital, Brasília. The analyses made were based on degradation indicators quantified from the investigated variables, especially solar orientation, and the facade zones of the samples. The results led to the identification of typical degradation patterns. Cracking is the anomaly that most degrades facades. The top area is the facade zone where the most severe degradation occurs. The highest incidence of degradation occurs in the continuous walls. The most degraded facades are the north and south facing ones.

title: Lower eyelid conjunctival amyloidosis: a case report

description: ABSTRACT Amyloidosis is characterized by extracellular deposition of protein amyloid fibrils in tissues, including conjunctiva, which are insoluble in proteolytic proteins. Conjunctival amyloidosis specifically in the palpebral conjunctiva is a rare finding in clinical practice. The authors described the case of a 71-year-old caucasian male patient, with bilateral lesions located in the lower eyelid conjunctiva, elevated, well-defined, yellowish, combined with destabilized eyelids. Surgical excision of the lesions was performed, and the histological examination confirmed conjunctival amyloidosis. There was no recurrence after the procedure. Conjunctival amyloidosis in both lower eyelids is a rare finding in the literature. The management of conjunctival amyloidosis depends on the extent of local involvement and patient’s general health status, varying from symptomatic, with use of ocular lubricants, to surgical, by removing the lesions.
