title: A comparison of the economic results obtained by Holstein steer calves with different feedlot arrival body weights

description: ABSTRACT: The study compared the economic results between five groups of Holstein steers with different arrival body weights (ABW) but similar ages in the feedlot. The average ABW were 105, 112, 117, 123 and 129 kg (30, 90, 87, 60, and 30 calves, respectively) with an age of 113 ± 1d. The calves were randomly distributed using an unbalanced design. The calves were weighed upon arrival at the feedlot and subsequently on days 112, 224, and 361 of the study. The calves were fed a steam- flaked corn-based diets. A receiving diet (2.21 Mcal of NEm/kg DM) was provided during the initial 112 days of feeding. From day 112 until harvest all steers received a finishing diet (2.27 Mcal of NEm/kg DM). Because two different diets were used, two partial (day 1 to day 112 and day 113 to day 361), and one full period (day1 to day 361) feeding periods were evaluated. Statistical differences between the final weights of all the groups were observed, which allowed a profit estimation, obtained by subtracting the purchase cost of calves plus the total feed cost from the revenue obtained from the sale of the steers. Overall weight gain and feed intake were higher with increased ABW, feeding efficiency was better for intermediate ABW groups (112 and 117 kg), with the calves with ABW of 112 kg being the most profitable (USD 15.8 more profit than the 117 Kg. group)

title: Flexible pavement with mining waste proposal - execution and analysis of an experimental section

description: Abstract The extraction of iron ore has a fundamental role in the Brazilian economy. However, such activity generates considerable volumes of waste whose disposal, even if regulated and licensed, has a significant environmental impact. The worldwide concern for sustainable practices along with the urgency for measures to mitigate environmental damage, justifies research on its use in other activities. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze the test results of laboratory versus field of mixtures composed of mining waste. The field studies were made on the execution of an experimental section on the BR 040 highway, in Minas Gerais - Brazil. According to the validation of the laboratory results, the mixtures composed of 35% Tailings + 15% Waste Rock + 50% Canga of Ore and 35% Tailings + 20% Gravel 1 + 45% Gravel 0 were used in the base and sub-base layers of the experimental section, respectively. The field technological control showed that the mixtures had an anomalous behavior from the one observed in the laboratory, mainly regarding strength and deformability.

title: Representations of Obesity and Thinness among People with Obesity

description: Abstract Obese people often do not feel fully accepted in society. This research aimed at understanding the Social Representations of obesity and thinness among obese people. In-depth interviews were conducted with questions about what they thought about obesity and thinness, and a questionnaire was applied with questions to characterize the participants. Sixteen adults of both genders between the ages of 20 and 58 years old, considered obese participated in the study. The interview data were analyzed by Descending Hierarchical Classification using the IRaMuTeQ software. Obesity was related to suffering, not acceptance and disease, and thinness represents well-being, happiness and the solution of all conflicts. This way of thinking can be related to the health care practices adopted by people.

title: Entomological surveillance of Chagas disease in the East of Minas Gerais region, Brazil.

description: ABSTRACT Background: After decentralizing the actions of the Chagas Disease Control Program (CDCP) in Brazil, municipalities were now responsible for control measures against this endemic, supervised by the Regional Health Superintendencies (RHS). We aimed to evaluate the recent entomological surveillance of Chagas disease in the Regional Health Superintendence of Governador Valadares (RHS/GV) from 2014 to 2019. Methods: Triatomines captured by residents during entomological surveillance were sent to the reference laboratory, where the species and evolutionary stages were identified, place of capture, and presence of Trypanosoma cruzi. A database was created, and the following were calculated: the rate of infection by T. cruzi (overall rate and rate by species), monthly seasonality, spatial distribution of species, number of captures, and infected triatomines/health microregions. Results: We identified 1,708 insects; 1,506 (88.2%) were triatomines, most were adult instars (n=1,469), and few were nymphs (n=37). The identified species were Triatoma vitticeps, Panstrongylus megistus, Panstrongylus diasi, Rhodnius neglectus, and Panstrongylus geniculatus. The first three were most frequently captured and distributed throughout the study area. Most bugs were captured intradomicile (72.5%), mainly in the second semester, between September and November, with an average infection rate of 41.5% (predominantly T. vitticeps, 49.2%). All municipalities sent triatomines, especially in the microregions of Governador Valadares. Conclusions: These data reinforce the need and importance of improving Chagas disease control measures in the region to establish active and participatory entomological surveillance.

title: Role of the reducing agent in tungsten extraction by chlorination with chlorine from an ore enriched by physical means

description: Abstract The effect of three reducing agents (sulphur dioxide, pyrite and carbon) on tungsten extraction from a scheelite-wolframite concentrate with chlorine gas was assessed. A low-grade ore (0.9% w/w WO3) was collected in the San Martín department, San Luis Province, Argentina, and subsequently enriched by physical means (65.73% w/w WO3). The minerals identified and their reactivities with chlorine were: scheelite (reactive), wolframite (reactive), pyrite (reactive), quartz (inert) and feldspars (inert). The metal recovered as WO2Cl2, with the different reagent combinations, was in increasing order: Cl2 + N2 &lt; Cl2 + SO2 &lt; pyrite + Cl2 + N2 &lt; pyrite +Cl2 + SO2 &lt; carbon + Cl2 + N2. It was proved that, according to its content, the pyrite initially present in the ore improves chlorination performance. At the same time, the non-volatile reaction products formed - CaCl2 and/or CaSO4 - and the manner of removing the nascent (desorbed) oxygen change depending on the reducing agent tested.

title: Joint Recommendations From The Latin American Association of Cardiac and Endovascular Surgery (LACES) and The Cardiovascular Anesthesia Committee of The Latin American Confederation of Anesthesia Societies (CLASA) on the Timing for Cardiac Surgery After COVID-19 Infection

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: Since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, cardiac surgeries in patients with previous infection by COVID-19 were suspended or postponed, which led to surgeries performed in patients with an advanced stage of their disease and an increase in the waiting list. There is a heterogeneous attitude in Latin America on the optimal timing to cardiac surgery in patients with previous COVID-19 infection due to scarce data on its outcome. Two Latin American associations joined to establish common suggestions on the optimal timing of surgery in patients with previous COVID-19 infection. Methods: Data collection was performed using a pre-established form, which included year of publication, objective, type of study (prospective/retrospective, descriptive/analytical), number of patients, year of study, waiting time between infection and surgery, type of surgery, morbidity, mortality, and conclusions regarding the association between mortality and morbidity. Final recommendations were approved by the board of directors of Latin American Association of Cardiac and Endovascular Surgery (LACES) and Latin American Confederation of Anesthesia Societies (CLASA). Results: Of the initial 1,016 articles, 11 comprised the final selection. Only six of them included patients who underwent cardiac surgery. According to the analyzed literature, optimal timing for cardiac surgery needs to consider the following aspects: deferable surgery, symptomatic COVID-19 infection, completeness of COVID-19 vaccination. Conclusion: These recommendations derive from the analysis of the scarce literature published at present on outcomes after cardiac surgery in patients with previous COVID-19 infection. These are to be taken as a dynamic recommendation in which Latin American reality was taken into consideration.

title: Wind Waves RAD1_L3A : Direction Finding Data (Unpolarized Source Assumption)

description: This data set contains Wind Waves RAD1 direction-finding data. Direction-finding inversion method has been applied on RAD1_L2 high resolution data to derive characteristics of radio emissions. The method is based on the work by Manning and Fainberg, Space Science Instrumentation, 1980. It returns the absolute flux density (in W/m^2/Hz) of the radio source, as well as the azimuth, and the elevation angles (in degrees) in a RTN reference frame centered on the Wind spacecraft. The method is only valid under the following criteria: * Radio source is unpolarized * Radio source has an uniform brightness * Radio source signal remains constant at a given frequency over a spacecraft rotation (~3sec) * Short antenna dipole assumption is valid * Z axial antenna is not tilted Absolute flux density is calibrated using radio galaxy method (see Zaslavsky et al., 2011. DOI 10.1029/2010RS004464). Caveat: Level 3 df data are computed with the following assumptions : (i) incoming wave properties do not change during a spacecraft rotation (~3 seconds)parameter set, (ii) radio sources are unpolarized (U=V=Q=0), (iii) galaxy radio emission is not subtracted, (iv) radio sources have an uniform brightness distribution, (v) Z antennas are not tilted

title: Parkes observations for project PX500 semester 2022APRS_36

description: This proposal relates to time purchased by the Chinese Academy of Sciences for Parkes follow-up confirmation and timing of FAST discoveries. As the observing time has been purchased this proposal (and the related PX501) does not require TAC grading. The primary reason for submitting a proposal is to ensure an outreach statement and that the proposal is entered into OPAL for the data archive to access. The Chinese team have two time requests. The time scheduled for the first, relating to this proposal, will be allocated in blocks of 24 hours and the data will become available in the data archive with an 18 month embargo period. The second type of time will be scheduled in shorter blocks and the data archived with a 10 year embargo.

title: TrueFace: a Dataset for the Detection of Synthetic Face Images from Social Networks

description: TrueFace is a first dataset of social media processed real and synthetic faces, obtained by the successful StyleGAN generative models, and shared on Facebook, Twitter and Telegram. Images have historically been a universal and cross-cultural communication medium, capable of reaching people of any social background, status or education. Unsurprisingly though, their social impact has often been exploited for malicious purposes, like spreading misinformation and manipulating public opinion. With today's technologies, the possibility to generate highly realistic fakes is within everyone's reach. A major threat derives in particular from the use of synthetically generated faces, which are able to deceive even the most experienced observer. To contrast this fake news phenomenon, researchers have employed artificial intelligence to detect synthetic images by analysing patterns and artifacts introduced by the generative models. However, most online images are subject to repeated sharing operations by social media platforms. Said platforms process uploaded images by applying operations (like compression) that progressively degrade those useful forensic traces, compromising the effectiveness of the developed detectors. To solve the synthetic-vs-real problem "in the wild", more realistic image databases, like TrueFace, are needed to train specialised detectors.
