title: Spatial variability of soil physical attributes in integrated production systems in the Amazon region

description: Abstract: The objective of this work was to analyze the spatial variability of soil physical attributes in integrated production systems and its relationship with the growth and yield of a corn (Zea mays) crop intercropped with palisade grass (Urochloa brizantha). The experiment was carried out in an integrated crop-livestock (ICL) system and in an integrated crop-livestock-forestry (ICLF) system, in a Plinthic Hapludox. The ICLF system was managed in alleys between eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.) rows, spaced at 18, 30, and 42 m. Corn grain and forage yields were positively correlated with soil clay and moisture contents, whereas grain yield was negatively correlated with soil penetration resistance. The lowest corn plant heights and grain yields were observed near eucalyptus rows. The average values for soil penetration resistance were below 2.0 MPa. Spatial variability was verified for: corn plant height, grain yield, and agronomic efficiency; forage intercropping; and soil moisture and silt contents, as well as penetration resistance. Greater grain and biomass yields were obtained at a 42-m distance between tree rows. The obtained results are indicative that corn traits and soil physical attributes were only slightly associated. The spatial distribution of the eucalyptus rows influences the agronomic efficiency of the intercrop and soil moisture contents.

title: Preparation and characterization of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) films deposited by dip-coating on LSM-YSZ substrate with different proportions

description: ABSTRACT In this work, sol-gel/dip-coating process for obtaining yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ, ZrO2–8% Y2O3) films deposited onto LSM-YSZ (lanthanum strontium manganite (LSM, La0.7Sr0.3MnO3) mixed with YSZ) with different proportions (20/80, 50/50, 80/20) was investigated. The films were deposited on substrate varying the number of layers deposited. LSM powders were obtained by the combustion method using metal nitrates and urea and YSZ was commercial. LSM-YSZ composite powders were obtained by the solid state method, through ball-milling of a mixture of LSM-YSZ (mass ratio) powder for 4 h with 500 rpm using ZrO2 balls as milling media. For LSM-YSZ substrate a study of sintering temperature was performed, where the optimum sintering temperature for each LSM-YSZ studied proportion was obtained. According to our results, it was found that 1100 ºC is the optimum sintering temperature for 20/80, 950 ºC is the optimum sintering temperature for 50/50 and 900 ºC is the optimum sintering temperature for 80/20 because of the good phase formation. The films were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The films showed LSM, YSZ, SrZrO3 and La2O3 phases. Crack-free, homogeneous and well adhered films were obtained with a thickness between 3 and 38 µm. In this work, YSZ films with appropriate thickness were obtained for application as SOFC electrolyte.

title: The role of gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography in the evaluation of postoperative bile duct injury: pictorial essay

description: Abstract Iatrogenic lesion of the bile ducts is a relatively common occurrence during liver surgery, increasing morbidity and mortality rates. T2-weighted magnetic resonance cholangiography and gadoxetic acid-enhanced functional magnetic resonance cholangiography (fMRC) with administration of hepatobiliary-specific contrast medium (gadoxetic acid) are fundamental to the diagnostic imaging approach in patients with such lesions. Here, we present a review of the literature and suggest an imaging approach to biliary tract injury, focusing on clinical cases in which fMRC had an impact on the decision-making process for the management of the affected patients.

title: Academic Experiences of University Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders: an Interpretative Analysis of Report

description: ABSTRACT: Given the growing rate of adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) entering university, this study sought to describe the academic experience of six students with this diagnosis, regularly enrolled in a public university in the state of São Paulo. Individual interviews were conducted to identify topics related to undergraduate entry, permanence, accessibility, relationships and suggestions for improvements in the university context. Based on the precepts of the Historical-Cultural Psychology, we used the qualitative analysis of the reports, especially the core of meaning, which constituted the initial establishment of pre-indicators, followed by the agglutination of this content into indicators, and the construction of the Core of Meaning. As a result, poor interactional experiences were verified during Basic Education. At the university, the controversies between interest in undergraduate studies and lack of preparation in the university context appeared as factors that generate anguish and anxiety associated with barriers to permanence and the need to complete the course within the regulatory period. It was identified the need for adjustments both in the singular and in the academic social context, with emphasis on the participation of students with ASD, which is still little debated and recognized, and the adaptations to the environment, which fall mainly to the subject, against the precepts of educational inclusion.

title: Strength and Stiffness of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) panels produced with Pinus and Eucalyptus: experimental and analytical comparisons

description: ABSTRACT The CLT is a building material that comes mainly used in Europe where it was developed. Lightweight, sturdy and eco-friendly, this material has become one of the most important constructive methods in the world. CLT are panels formed by layers of wood glued to each other orthogonally, always in odd numbers, symmetrical with respect to the central layer. The dimensions can vary from 50 to 500 mm in thickness, and depend on the application, which can be a slab or wall element, the width and length are adjustable, being able to produce up to 20 meters in length. This work presents tests and results obtained in two types of CLT panels produced in a laboratory. One panel made with Pinus taeda and MUF (melamine urea formaldehyde) adhesive and other one made Eucalyptus urograndis with PU (polyurethane) adhesive. The objective was to evaluate the stiffness and to through the analytical method using the Analytical Design Method (γ-method), and through experimental tests in the laboratory, comparing the values obtained in each method. In the experimental test, the Eucalyptus panel obtained better strength and stiffness than Pinus panel, and in analytical calculation using the Analytical Design Method (γ-method), obtained Elastic Modulus (MOE) values slightly above experimental values, and stiffness values (EI) considerably below experimental values. Concluded that the Cross Laminated Timber produced with Pinus and Eucalyptus planted in Brazil obtained resistance and stiffness considered suitable for structural use and showed that it could be a new alternative of constructive material to be used in the country.

title: Multivariate analysis applied for study of the sampling frequency and the number of sampling stations in water quality monitoring

description: ABSTRACT The core of this work consisted of applying multivariate exploratory analysis tools to evaluate the number of water quality monitoring stations and the sampling frequency. In such way, the database provided by the Minas Gerais Institute of Water Management (IGAM) on the river basin of Rio das Velhas, in the most populous central region of Minas Gerais state, was used. The Principal Components Analysis and the Kohonen neural network techniques were applied, resulting in a significant reduction in sampling frequency, in some cases from monthly to annual or semi-annual, and in the reduction of the number of monitoring stations from 36 to 33. The results open the possibility of using these methods as watershed water resources management tools aimed at optimization of water quality monitoring programs.

title: Experimental study on the humidity in aerial lime mortar

description: ABSTRACT A significant part of the historical heritage around the world consists of masonry structures, with joints filled with mortar. In these structural systems, mortar usually represents a small/moderate portion of the total volume of the structure. However, the mortar is recognized as the main source of deformations/displacement in the structure, this fact justifies the necessity of an appropriated knowledge of its behavior. In ancient mortars, aerial lime is one of the earliest and recurring binders around the world. In these mortars, the hardening of the material is gradual from the surface, in correspondence with the carbonation and drying processes. For these mortars, these two cited processes affect various properties of the material. For aerial lime mortars, the study of carbonation is widespread in the literature, diverse authors already study the topic. However, for the moisture diffusion processes, the number of studies is still quite reduced. During the mortar preparation, some of the water applied during the mixing is evaporated by the exothermic reaction of hydration. However, an elevated moisture content remains. In this work, studies are carried out to investigate the internal humidity fluxes in aerial lime mortars. The experimental program begins with the characterization of the materials, as well as the definition of the mortar composition. Experimental work was carried out on specimens stored in a controlled environment, with geometries simulating uniaxial and axisymmetric flows. The monitoring of internal moisture of specimens at various depths was carried out. The results indicated an accelerated diffusion, with a rapid decrease of humidity when compared with usual values observed in cement-based materials

title: Behavior evaluation of watertight of mortars and water repellents - Part II

description: ABSTRACT Beyond the aesthetic function, the facade coatings protect buildings from water penetration and, consequently, diminishes the propensity for pathological manifestations that lead to their degradation of the surface. This work presents the tests to evaluate the watertight behavior of mortar, industrialized and mixed in construction, and water repellent coatings, film formers, destined the facades degraded by the action of humidity. For this, water vapor permeability, water absorption by capillarity, evaporation, flexural tensile strength and tensile strength in flexion and compression, were performed. At the end of the experimental program, it was found that water repellent coatings are better suited to protect from the action of water, since they presented better results to the watertightness test than the mortar coatings, considering the evaluated properties.

title: Genetic assessment of seed yield-related traits in superior hybrids of Paspalum plicatulum × Paspalum guenoarum

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to estimate the genetic parameters, genetic correlations, genetic dissimilarity, and predicted gains with the selection of interspecific apomictic Paspalum plicatulum × Paspalum guenoarum hybrids in relation to seed yield traits. Nineteen genotypes that showed increased forage yield in previous studies were planted in a randomized complete block design with ten blocks. Traits evaluated in this study were: number of tillers/plant, number of reproductive tillers/plant, number of racemes/inflorescence, number of seeds/inflorescence, weight of a thousand seeds, and seed yield. Data were analyzed using a mixed model approach. The genotypes evaluated in our study showed improvement potential in relation to high heritability (H a 2 &gt; 0.50 ), high precision (Acgen&gt; 90%), and genetic dissimilarity (forming three groups) for seed yield traits. Seed yield showed high correlation to reproductive tillers that can be used as indirect selection tools for genetic improvement of seed yield.

title: Access to treatment of women with breast cancer

description: ABSTRACT This study was aimed at characterizing the access to treatment of women diagnosed with breast cancer in the state of Piauí, Brazil. A cross-sectional analytical study was developed in two referral hospital institutions from January/2018 to June/2018. The population comprised women diagnosed with breast cancer who underwent treatment in the period from 2016 to 2017. The sample amounted to 155 participants. Sampling was proportionally stratified. The data was processed in IBM® SPSS®, and uni and bivariate statistics were calculated. It was noted that the average time for treatment was of 112.7 (± 93.6) days, varying from 12 to 550 days (≡18.3 months or 1.5 years), with 71.6 % of the women starting treatment within a period higher than 60 days following breast cancer diagnosis. Statistically significant associations were verified between the delay to start treatment and the state territory of residence (p = 0.041) and the disease stage (p = 0.037). The conclusion is that women are not having access to breast cancer treatment as recommended. Therefore, it is worth noting the need for greater organization in the network of health services, taking into account the needs of the population through timely health care.

title: Case study of performance evaluation of watertight of mortars and water repellents - Part I

description: ABSTRACT One of the agents that trigger pathological manifestations in buildings is the entrance of fluids and salts into facades degraded by the absence of maintenance throughout their useful life. The present study evaluates the watertight performance of eight mortar coatings, two of which are dosed in construction and seven in-dustrial-ized, and four film-forming water repellent coatings used for the recovery of humidity degraded fa-cades. In situ tests were carried out on a facade degraded by humidity in the city of Santa Maria/RS, perme-ability to liquid water, empirical absorption and evaporation of water, infrared thermography, and tensile adhesion strength. It was concluded that water repellent coatings presented greater efficiency of watertight compared to mortar coatings, when used for the recovery of humidity degraded facades.
