title: Modelagem da transferência de calor da laje de piso no programa de simulação EnergyPlus

description: Abstract The heat flow through the floor and the ground of a single-story slab-on-grade building is one of the most influential aspects in its thermal and energy performance. However, there are still many uncertainties and only few studies on the subject. This study compares different modeling alternatives of the parameters related to the heat transfer between the floor and the ground, and their influence in the thermal performance of a naturally ventilated single-story house located in São Carlos, Brazil, using the programs EnergyPlus (8.5.0) and Slab (.75). The comparison between the modeling alternatives indicated wide variation in the results. When compared with Slab, the KusudaAchenbach method of the object Ground Domain presented the largest variation, with a difference of 55.2 % in the number of degree-hours of discomfort. It was observed that even the way of using Slab - for example, with or without the convergence procedure - could cause significant differences in the results. The thermal conductivity of the soil was a parameter of great impact, resulting in differences of up to 57.5 % in discomfort. Such results provide indications of the variability and impact of the different modeling options for this type of heat transfer in EnergyPlus.

title: Effect of increasing valine level in the diet on performance, egg quality and serum components in laying quails

description: One of the branched-chain amino acids, valine, is regarded as fifty limiting amino acid for birds fed with based on corn-soybean meal. It also plays a crucial role in performance, protein and lipid metabolism, energy stability, cell function and immunity. Increasing valine level decreased egg weight and egg mass. At the same time, the albumen index and the Haugh unit decreased. Serum glucose and triglyceride levels reduced with increasing valine level. Additionally, it decreased erythrocyte and haematocrit, but increased white blood cell, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts.

title: A framework to select innovations in patents to improve temporary edge protection systems in buildings

description: Abstract This article presents a selection method of existing innovations in patents that propose improvements in Temporary Edge Protection Systems (TEPS). The method was divided into three stages. In stage 1, records were collected related to TEPS from the patent filing databases of the Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial (National Institute of Industrial Property, Brazil), the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the European Patent Office. In stage 2, patents were selected based on the TEPS evaluation protocol created by Peñaloza, Formoso and Saurin (2017), which examines safety, efficiency and flexibility criteria. In stage 3, four patents were selected among the 20 patents found related to guard rails and three related to protection nets. Based on the results, one invention stands out that uses hollow posts in protection barriers, which allows for modular movement with safety and flexibility. The framework proposed in this research is a useful resource for disseminating techniques included in TEPS patent databases.

title: TauRunner: A public Python program to propagate neutral and charged leptons

description: In the past decade IceCube's observations have revealed a flux of astrophysical neutrinos extending to 10^7 GeV. The forthcoming generation of neutrino observatories promises to grant further insight into the high-energy neutrino sky, with sensitivity reaching energies up to 10^12 GeV. At such high energies, a new set of effects becomes relevant, which was not accounted for in the last generation of neutrino propagation software. Thus, it is important to develop new simulations which efficiently and accurately model lepton behavior at this scale. We present TauRunner, a Python-based package that propagates neutral and charged leptons. TauRunner supports propagation between 10 GeV and 10^12 GeV. The package accounts for all relevant secondary neutrinos produced in charged-current tau neutrino interactions. Additionally, tau energy losses of taus produced in neutrino interactions are taken into account, and treated stochastically. Finally, TauRunner is broadly adaptable to divers experimental setups, allowing for user-specified trajectories and propagation media, neutrino cross sections, and initial spectra.

title: Influence of the mixing processes in concrete with aggregates coarse recycled concrete

description: Abstract The reuse of construction waste is a strategy employed to achieve sustainability, however, only a small number of construction initiatives use it. The variability of concrete residue is an inherent condition of this product and it must be considered. The control of the production process of concrete produced with concrete waste can improve the quality of the final composite. This paper aims to evaluate the effect of the mixing process and the mixer type on the fragility of recycled coarse aggregate concrete and to investigate their influence on compressive strength. This study also evaluates the effect of the mixer on concrete performance. Recycled coarse aggregate concrete was used as a total replacement for natural coarse aggregate. The results showed no significant differences between concrete produced from different types of mixtures, however, both yielded satisfactory compressive strength results at 28 days. However, the mixtures made in the vertical shaft mixer were more efficient than the mixtures produced in the inclined axis mixer, as the concrete produced by the former presented a lower variation coefficient. The study concluded that the equipment's characteristics contributed to better uniformity, leading to less variability in the resulting concrete.

title: Social housing in the rural areas of the metropolitan region of Maringá, PR: post-occupancy evaluation

description: Abstract This article presents a study of the architectural design of the housing units of the Rural Village Program, implemented in the state of Paraná from 1995 to 2002. The method used was post-occupancy evaluation through the following tools: walkthrough, interviews, questionnaire and physical measurements. Thus, it was possible to obtain information concerning the actual appropriation the rural residents made of their units over time, which the study revealed to be significant. Most residents altered their houses to such an extent that it became almost impossible to recognise the units' original design. The results show which rooms were altered, how the floor plans evolved and the construction techniques employed to undertake the alterations. The square footage per resident greatly increased. Hence, it is clear that neither the original architectural design nor the housing program met the real needs of users, since they failed to consider their way of life and the specificities of rural housing.

title: Comparative study between theoretical values and experimental results of concrete elasticity modulus produced with different types of coarse aggregate

description: Abstract The elastic modulus is an important property for professionals in the construction industry, since its value is crucial for deformation control. This study evaluates the elastic modulus of three different classes of concrete (C20, C30 and C40), produced with two lithologic types of rocks, basalt and dolomite, from the Triângulo Mineiro region, Brazil. In the experimental study, 324 cylindrical test specimens were cast. The experimental results of the elastic modulus were compared to six formulations proposed in four concrete norms and codes: ABNT NBR 6118, version 2007 and 2014, ACI 318, EUROCODE 2, FIB Model Code and IBRACON (2003). The elastic modulus values obtained with the formulation proposed by FIB Model Code (2010) and ABNT NBR 6118 (2014) were closest to the experimental results of this study.

title: Manufacturing of concrete blocks using recycled materials from their own manufacturing process

description: Abstract This paper reports on a case study conducted in a concrete block factory that uses the waste generated in the manufacturing process of these blocks as recycled aggregates to obtain new blocks, herein named concrete recycled blocks (CRB). The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the blocks recycled aggregates (BRAG) on the compression strength of the blocks. The blocks were designed to be used in the construction of social housing, seeking not only to comply with environmental regulations but also to meet sustainability requirements. The factory was set up on the construction site of a low-income housing project. The waste used derived exclusively from the residue of the concrete blocks, produced at different stages of the manufacturing process of the blocks. The BRAG were obtained through sieving. After its characterisation, the AGRB was included in the manufacturing process of new blocks. The same dosage criteria used for dry concrete with natural aggregates was applied in the concrete with recycled aggregates. The BRAG were used to replace the natural aggregates (powder-stone and / or natural sand). The block property evaluated was compressive strength. The best performance of he CRB was obtained with total replacement of stone powder and natural sand (CAGRB).

title: Experimental study of the metal-plate-connected in the prestresses losses in wood bridge deck

description: Abstract This paper presents an experimental study on the influence of metal plate connected on loss in prestress in wood bridge decks. As the connectors reduce the direct contact of the wood, the losses in prestress present values different from those obtained in conventional laminated prestressed plates. This paper presents an experimental study where the losses in prestress were assessed by continuous instrumentation in a room with controlled temperature and humidity. That allowed the identification of the stress levels on the elements after 60 days, which corresponds to the initial stage of bridge service, with the aim of providing preliminary data to establish prestressing plans. The experimental values were adjusted to the theoretical and empirical models by the least squares method. Through mean value analysis, the results demonstrated that no significant differences occurred between the metal-plate-connected system and the system without connectors, however, it more tests are needed in order to obtain a more representative sample.
