title: The Exponentiated Power Generalized Weibull: Properties and Applications

description: Abstract We propose a new lifetime model called the exponentiated power generalized Weibull (EPGW) distribution, which is obtained from the exponentiated family applied to the power generalized Weibull (PGW) distribution. It can also be derived from a power transform on an exponentiated Nadarajah-Haghighi random variable. Since several structural properties of the PGW distribution have not been studied, they can be obtained from those of the EPGW distribution. The model is very flexible for modeling all common types of hazard rate functions. It is a very competitive model to the well-known Weibull, exponentiated exponential and exponentiated Weibull distributions, among others. We also give a physical motivation for the new distribution if the power parameter is an integer. Some of its mathematical properties are investigated. We discuss estimation of the model parameters by maximum likelihood and provide two applications to real data. A simulation study is performed in order to examine the accuracy of the maximum likelihood estimators of the model parameters.

title: Subsequent Effect of Dietary Lysine Regimens Fed in the Starter Phase on the Growth Performance, Carcass Traits and Meat Chemical Composition of Aseel Chicken in the Grower Phase

description: ABSTRACT This study was designed to examine carryover effect of dietary lysine (Lys) levels fed during the starter phase on the growth performance of three varieties of Aseel chickens. A total of 378 birds (126 from each variety) derived from a previous experiment, in which birds were distributed according a randomized block design in a 3×3 factorial arrangement, were evaluated from 7-18 weeks of age. Treatments consisted of three varieties of Aseel chicken [(Mianwali (MW), Peshawari (PW) and Lakha (LK)] fed three dietary Lys regimes (high, medium and low) during the starter phase (0-6 weeks). In the present experiment, the performance parameters, carcass traits, and meat chemical composition six replicates of seven birds per treatment were evaluated. The MW variety exhibited higher weight gain and better feed to gain ratio (p&lt;0.05). Previous medium dietary Lys regimen improved weight gain, feed to gain ratio, final weight gain (p≤0.05). Birds previously fed medium dietary Lys showed higher thigh dry matter content (p&lt;0.05), and those previously fed low Lys significantly higher thigh crude protein (CP) content (p&lt;0.05). The highest breast muscle CP % were observed birds previously fed the high Lys regime (p&lt;0.05), those of the MW variety (p&lt;0.05). Higher slaughter weight and carcass weight and yield were obtained in the birds previously fed to medium dietary Lys level (p&lt;0.05), and the MW variety showed overall better carcass traits (p&lt;0.05). It is concluded that medium Lys levels in the starter feed promote subsequent better growth performance and that the MW variety has better carcass traits, it may be used as for rural chicken meat production.

title: Odor evaluation scales for odor in neoplastic wounds: an integrative review

description: ABSTRACT Objective: Checking for the existence of assessment instruments for odor in neoplastic wounds. Method: Integrative review performed in the databases Lilacs, SCiELO, Ibecs and MedLine, including national and international publications. Results: 15 articles were analyzed, in its majority performed by nurses and being of the revision type. Nine scales were found, of which the majority assesses only the odor intensity. The scale most used to evaluate products and/or bandage covers for neoplastic injuries was the Odor Evaluation Guideline, of qualitative-quantitative nature, that establishes the symptom within four levels; only one of which being validated (Teler scale). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that, currently, there is only one scale that is validated for assessing odor in neoplastic wounds, pointing towards the need to develop new instruments that incorporate validated and reliable instruments in clinical practice.

title: Impact of resilience on the improvement of depressive symptoms after cognitive therapies for depression in a sample of young adults

description: Abstract Introduction Few studies have evaluated positive measures for therapeutic response. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the effects of resilience on severity of depressive and anxious symptoms after brief cognitive psychotherapy for depression. Methods This was a clinical follow-up study nested in a randomized clinical trial of cognitive therapies. The Resilience Scale was applied at baseline. The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) were used at baseline, post-intervention, and at six-month follow-up. Results Sixty-one patients were assessed at baseline, post-intervention and at six-month follow-up. Resilience scores were significantly different between baseline and post-intervention assessments (p&lt;0.001), as well as at baseline and at six-month follow-up (p&lt;0.001). We observed a weak negative correlation between baseline resilience scores and HDRS scores at post-intervention (r=-0.295, p=0.015) and at six-month follow-up (r=-0.354, p=0.005). Furthermore, we observed a weak negative correlation between resilience scores and HARS scores at post-intervention (r=-0.292, p=0.016). Conclusion Subjects with higher resilience scores at baseline showed a lower severity of symptoms at post-intervention and at six-month follow-up.

title: PREDICTING THE PENETRATION AND NAVIGATING THE MOTION OF A LIQUID DROP IN A LAYERED POROUS MEDIUM: VISCOUS FINGERING VS. CAPILLARY FINGERING

description: Abstract In this paper, penetration of a liquid drop in a layered porous medium as well as its motion navigation was investigated using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The porous medium was generated by locating square obstacles randomly in the each layer which would cause the layered porosity in the domain. Two regimes of penetration; (a) capillary fingering regime and (b) viscous fingering regime were used for this study. The relationship between the porosity and the penetration rate was studied. The effect of porous surface type (i.e., hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity) on the penetration rate and penetration pattern was also investigated. A new parameter, called “Percent of hydrophobicity”, was defined such that each layer of the porous medium could have multiple properties. This means that in each layer some solid elements might be randomly hydrophobic or hydrophilic. Using this hydrophobicity coefficient, one could navigate the motion of the liquid in such porous media.

title: Effect of carboxymethylcellulose on colloidal properties of calcite suspensions in drilling fluids

description: Abstract Drilling fluids are multicomponent systems used to aid the removal of cuttings from a borehole, and subject to a number of requirements to ensure a safe drilling operation. One of the most important is to form a low permeability cake on the walls of the hole penetrated by the bit, to avoid excessive filtrate loss. To that end, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) associated with calcite (CaCO3) can be used. In this paper, the effect of carboxymethylcellulose on the colloidal properties of calcite suspensions in brine was systematically evaluated by rheological properties, filtrate volume and zeta potential. Higher viscosity fluids, lower filtrate loss and less negative zeta potential were obtained using small calcite particles with wide size distribution and CMC with high average molecular weight (Mw) and low average degree of substitution (DS), highlighting the importance of effective interactions between CMC and calcite to improve drilling fluid properties.

title: Water loss in table grapes: model development and validation under dynamic storage conditions

description: Abstract Water loss is a critical problem affecting the quality of table grapes. Temperature and relative humidity (RH) are essential in this process. Although mathematical modelling can be applied to measure constant temperature and RH impacts, it is proved that variations in storage conditions are normally encountered in the cold chain. This study proposed a methodology to develop a weight loss model for table grapes and validate its predictions in non-constant conditions of a domestic refrigerator. Grapes were maintained under controlled conditions and the weight loss was measured to calibrate the model. The model described the water loss process adequately and the validation tests confirmed its predictive ability. Delayed cooling tests showed that estimated transpiration rates in subsequent continuous temperature treatment was not significantly influenced by prior exposure conditions, suggesting that this model may be useful to estimate the weight loss consequences of interruptions in the cold chain.

title: The relationship between serum retinol concentrations and subclinical infection in rural Brazilian children

description: ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the relationship between serum retinol concentrations and subclinical infection in children from rural settlements. Methods A cross-sectional population-based study was carried out in nine rural settlements in the northeastern region of Brazil, involving 118 children aged 6 to 59 months. The relationship between serum retinol and C-Reactive Protein levels, an important marker of infectious and inflammatory processes, was investigated by multiple linear regression, controlling for demographic, socioeconomic and nutritional variables. Serum retinol and C-Reactive Protein were measured, respectively, by High Performance Liquid Chromatography and immunoturbidimetric assay in automated equipment. Results Vitamin A deficiency (retinol &lt;0.70μmol/L) was identified in 9.3% of the children. C-Reactive Protein was the only predictor of retinol concentrations in the final regression model, causing a 0.728μmol/L reduction in retinol concentrations in the studied children (p=0.008). Conclusion Vitamin A deficiency is a problem of mild/moderate severity and measures to control infectious diseases in this population are fundamental to prevent and/or combat this problem.
