title: Constructability of complex architectural shapes: a systematic literature review

description: Abstract The use of parametric computational models led to a revolution in building shapes. However, the formal freedom brought about by parametric models has also posed new challenges, especially concerning the construction process and the use of materials in architecture using complex shapes. Therefore, for the development of an efficient and effective architecture, it is essential to understand constructability or how manufacturing and assembly processes and materials influence the generation of shapes. Hence, this article aims to identify and analyse the state of the art regarding the manufacturing and assembly processes of complex architectural forms through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). After searching five databases, 142 papers were found, of which 61 were selected for analysis. These works offered a broad view of the application of materials and digital manufacturing techniques in the construction of complex shapes, as well as different constructability criteria used for shape analysis, mentioned in 17 papers. This study’s conclusion is that the development of complex architectural forms requires the integration between the shape design, the construction materials that will be used, and the manufacturing and assembly processes.

title: EVALUATION OF SCAPULAR DYSKINESIA IN PATIENTS THAT UNDERWENT A LATARJET PROCEDURE

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To quantitatively assess the scapular movement of patients who underwent Latarjet surgery and to identify if they present scapular dyskinesia (SD), as well as correlate with the clinic state and the elevation degree of the shoulder. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at the Movement Analysis Laboratory (LAM), at the Institute of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences, that quantitatively evaluated, using spherical retroreflective markers, the scapular movements of the control group (10 volunteers) and 22 patients (23 operated shoulders) that had been submitted to Latarjet surgery, between 2011 and 2016, with at least one year postoperative. The results of the control group were used as a parameter of normality and compared to those of the operated group. Posterior inclination, superior rotation, and medial rotation of the scapula were evaluated at angles of 60°, 90°, and 120° of elevation, both in ascending and descending phases. The statistical analysis used was the multivariate variance (MANOVA), comparing the right and left sides of the control group and, subsequently, the control group with the postoperative group (p = 0.05 in all tests). Results: When comparing the mean of the results of the quantitative evaluation of the control group with the operated group, no statistically significant differences were found between the two groups and between the dominant and non-dominant sides of the control group. Conclusion: Latarjet surgery does not cause SD, although there are alterations in some plane of the scapular movements in the ascending and/or descending phase. Level of Evidence III, Retrospective Comparative Study.

title: Symphysis morphology and mandibular alveolar bone thickness in patients with β-thalassemia major and different growth patterns

description: ABSTRACT Objective: The present study aimed to assess the morphology of symphysis and alveolar bone thickness (ABT) surrounding mandibular incisors in thalassemic patients, as compared to unaffected individuals. Methods: This case-control study was conducted on lateral cephalograms of 60 thalassemic and 60 unaffected patients with Class II malocclusion seeking orthodontic treatment at Dental School, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The sample was divided into three subgroups including hyperdivergent, normodivergent, and hypodivergent, according to the Jarabak index. Symphysis dimensions and alveolar bone thickness surrounding mandibular incisors were measured using AutoCad software. Finally, the correlation between alveolar bone thickness and symphysis morphology was assessed. Results: In general, chin dimensions and bone thickness at different levels of mandibular incisor roots (cervical, middle, apical) were smaller in thalassemic adolescents than controls. Concerning the total sample as well as the normodivergent subgroup, significantly lower values were observed in thalassemic patients for symphysis width, total ABT at the cervical, and lingual ABT at the apical root area compared to controls (p &lt; 0.05). The hypodivergent growth pattern was not associated with any statistical differences between the groups (p&gt; 0.05). In both thalassemic and control subjects, symphysis width showed a weak to moderate positive correlation with ABT of lower incisors (p&lt; 0.05), whereas symphysis height showed a moderate positive correlation with cervical ABT in only ß‐thalassemia patients (p&lt; 0.05). Conclusions: Compared to controls, ß-thalassemia patients showed thinner alveolar bone at different levels of lower incisor roots and smaller symphysis dimensions. There were significant correlations between symphysis dimensions and alveolar bone thickness of mandibular incisors in the sample.

title: Mineral potential re-evaluation of the Seis Lagos Carbonatite Complex, Amazon, Brazil

description: Abstract The Seis Lagos Carbonatite Complex hosts a lateritic deposit developed over a siderite carbonatite. In the 1980’s, it was estimated to contain 2.89 Bt @ 2.81 wt% Nb2O5. Recent studies have produced new data allowing re-evaluation of the area’s mineral potential. In this work, a geological model has been constructed and new estimates of grades and tonnages are presented. The volume of cavities that occur in the lateritic crust is still unknown, and it was then segmented in possible scenarios ranging from 0 to 63%, impacting estimates of tonnage. The estimations were divided into two domains that vary according to the available data. In Domain 1, it has been estimated between 10.5-28.3 Mt @ 2.97 wt% Nb2O5 and 0.71 wt% REE2O3, and in Domain 2, between 1.40-3.78 Bt @ 1.17 wt% Nb2O5 and 0.46 wt% REE2O3. High grades of Ti, Sn and W were also detected for the lateritic crust. It is estimated that sediments in the Esperança Basin contain 11.8 Mt @ 1.76 wt% REE2O3 and 2.36 wt% P2O5, whereas the siderite carbonatite shows high grades of Nb, REE, Sc and Zn, further increasing the area’s mineral potential. Soil grids on neighboring hills do not show similarly high Nb grades, but do present high grades of REE and P.

title: Polystyrene-b-poly (acrylic acid) nanovesicles coated by modified chitosans for encapsulation of minoxidil

description: Abstract In this work, polystyrene-b-poly (acrylic acid) (PS-b-PAA) nanovesicles were coated by modified chitosans aiming at studying its physicochemical parameters. The chitosan (CS) was chemically modified to add hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic groups, obtaining three modified chitosans. The PS-b-PAA nanovesicles were obtained by organic (1,4-dioxane) cosolvent method in water, resulting in nanovesicles with less than 150 nm of diameter (polydispersibility index - PDI at 90° = 0.106), measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and negative zeta potential (-37.5 ± 3.2 mV), allowing the coating of its surface with oppositely charged polysaccharides, such as the CS and the modified chitosans. The coating process was made by mixing the colloidal suspensions with the CS and the modified chitosans at specific ENT#091;CS-xENT#093;/ENT#091;PS-b-PAAENT#093; ratios (0.001 to 1.0 wt %) and measuring the change in size and surface charge by DLS and zeta potential. Upon reaching maximum adsorption, the zeta potential parameter was positively stabilized (+26.7 ± 4.1 mV) with a hydrodynamic diameter slightly longer (&lt; 200 nm of diameter). The encapsulation efficiency (EE) of minoxidil, quantified by capillary electrophoresis, was 50.7%, confirming their potential as drug delivery carriers and the coating process showed the possibility of controlling the surface charge nature of these nanovesicles.

title: Bottom-up modelling of electricity end-use consumption of the residential sector in Brazil

description: Abstract Electricity consumption in the residential sector in Brazil has been increasing annually despite efforts to promote the energy efficiency of household appliances. One of the main goals for achieving more energy efficiency in dwellings is understanding its energy end uses. In this context, this paper presents a bottom-up model developed to analyse regional and national electricity end uses in the residential sector in Brazil based on a recent survey on Ownership of Appliances and Consumption Habits. The percentages of total electricity consumption associated with nine appliances (light bulbs, refrigerators, freezers, televisions, showers, microwaves, washing machines, fans, and air conditioners) were estimated. The values were obtained using the software EnergyPlus for air conditioners and electricity consumption equations for the other eight appliances. Results show that the proposed model gives reasonable estimates of electricity consumption, which were close to the values expected for most appliances. Regionally, the appliances for which ownership and pattern of use are influenced by the climate (electric showers, fans, and air conditioners) obtained the most significant variation in the percentage of electricity consumption.

title: Small cell lung cancer: an overview of the targets

description: Abstract Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for approximately 15% of all lung cancer cases. Despite a frequently good response to first-line treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, early relapse occurs in the majority of patients and 5-year survival is only about 5%. This histological subtype of lung cancer is strongly associated with tobacco smoking. The behavior of SCLC is unique within solid tumors. Initially, it positively responds to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. However, at relapse, which occurs early in the majority of cases, the tumor is resistant to available therapy and eventually will cause the death of the patient. These results in an overall 5-year survival of approximately 5% for the entire population of patients diagnosed with SCLC. This dismal prognosis has not significantly changed in past years. There is an urgent need for discovery targets to select patients more prone to having a proper response to the treatment, avoiding to reduce their resistance and resulting the increase of overall and progression-free survivals.

title: Applicability of analytical models to design non-rectangular rooms at the low-frequency range

description: Abstract For the exact calculation and acoustic design of rooms in the low-frequency range, it is necessary to use numerical simulation tools, whose cost and difficulty of use are obstacles faced in the daily routine of acoustic engineers/designers. In order to analyse the applicability of analytical models (simpler and cost-effective), this research study compares, in reduced-scale models (1:8), possible acoustic room formats (rectangular and non-rectangular) using two low-frequency analysis methods. Comparisons are made between the acoustic parameters T 20 , EDT, C 80 , D 50 and T s , extracted by computational models using the Finite Element Method (FEM) and obtained by an analytical model. Through Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r), this study also evaluated the similarities between the analytical and computational models for the Energy Decay Curves EDC, the Frequency Response Function (FRF) H(f), and the impulse responses h(t). The results show that for non-rectangular rooms, the project requires highly accurate FRF analysis and impulse response, the use of numerical analysis methods becomes essential.

title: Building Information Modeling (BIM) for managing job security in low-income housing projects

description: Abstract Civil construction has peculiar characteristics such as low communication between the designers and the site managers, in addition to a high turnover of construction workers, which creates difficulties to implement an effective safety culture. The emergence of technologies has contributed to the improvement of communication and security, an example is Building Information Modeling (BIM) that allows the computational modeling of the work, which provides detailed data of its progress even in the design phase. This research aims to model a vertical work of social interest. The modeling was based on the standards defined by NR 18. After the modeling was completed, the results were compared with the real scenario of the construction, aiming to assess incompatibilities with what is required by NR. For modeling, the software Revit, MS Project, and Naviswork were used. It was concluded that the work did not meet some aspects required by NR, in addition to a lack of projects, design errors, and execution problems. As for the site managers, it was evaluated that the use of BIM in their construction sites could bring benefits to their work and facilitate decision making.
