Análise de Desempenho: um olhar sobre os métodos empregados em categorias de base de clubes de futebol da cidade de Porto Alegre-RS (2021)

Introduction and Objective: In the last decades football has been studied and interpreted in its minute details, obtaining more qualified information about the game. Performance analysis seeks to improve the performance of the team and/or the athlete. The present study aimed to investigate the application of performance analysis methods in the process of training young footballers in three professional clubs in the city of Porto Alegre-RS. Materials and Methods: The methodology of this study is characterized as applied, exploratory and descriptive, with a qualitative approach. Through semi-structured interviews, performance analysts from the grassroots categories of three clubs were interviewed. As a data analysis procedure, the triangulation method was used. Results and Discussion: The clubs structured in this area of ​​activity, despite systematizing the methods used differently, are based on principles based on theory. Performance analysts mention using quantitative and qualitative analyzes of game data, as well as making individual and collective observations. However, in some cases, there was a greater concern in the analysis of collective data, overlapping individual analyzes, being able to distance themselves from the development and training of athletes, the role of the basic categories. Conclusion: Performance analysis can assist in the training and development of young football athletes, and it is up to professionals in the field to find the best methods for its application. The resources used by the analysts, especially the game footage, provide a more technical look at the events that occurred in the matches.
WISDOM — A wireless debugging and power measurement system for field tests and device observation in WSN (2017)

Energy consumption is a major concern in battery powered wireless sensor networks (WSN). For that reason there is a strong demand for the evaluation of power consumption of nodes in a wireless sensor network during its development phase. This evaluation can be done in early design stages by using simulations and models, but there is also the need for an evaluation in a real setup. This paper presents the WISDOM platform, which is a sensor node by itself, equipped with a 24-bit ADC converter that is used to measure power consumption of sensor nodes in a WSN. Monitored measurements can be transmitted wireless to a sink. In that way a power consumption profile can be created for a large scale WSN under realistic load conditions. The WISDOM platform provides a very high dynamic range for power metering, which is important for monitoring sensor nodes that operate in deep sleep modes as well as in high power transmission modes.
Principles in design and microfabrication of variable-capacitance side-drive motors (1990)

This paper presents a detailed discussion of the critical issues it the design and fabrication of polysilicon, rotary, variable-capacitance, side-drive, electric micromotors. Three different side-drive motor architectures with stator pole number to rotor pole number ratios of 3:1; 3:2, and 2:1 are considered. For each architecture, output torque characteristics of typical microfabricated motors are simulated using two-dimensional finite-element solutions in the plane of the substrate. The 3:2 design is shown to provide superior torque coverage with higher minimum torque values as compared to the other two designs. An examination of the contribution of the axial fringing fields shows that, for typical micromotors, the rotor–stator capacitance is more directly a function of the rotor–stator thickness and not of the vertical rotor–stator pole-face overlap. Furthermore, since the rotor–stator capacitance is not very sensitive to a vertical offset between the rotor and the stator, electric forces tending to vertically align the rotor to the stator are significantly smaller than would be predicted from a simple parallel-plate capacitance calculation. A standard and a localized oxidation of silicon (LOCOS)-based side-drive micromotor fabrication process are described. The standard process is used as a case study to provide a detailed discussion of practical issues that need to be considered in the development of a polysilicon surface-micromachined motor fabrication process. Specific motor design examples are described and a brief history of our experimental findings is presented. Typical 3:2 micromotors have been operated with bipolar excitations as low as 37 V across 1.5 μm gaps and at speeds as high as 15 000 rpm.
Microarray Analysis of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (2004)

Oligonucleotide DNA microarray analysis of renal biopsy specimens identified a gene expression fingerprint in samples from a heterogeneous population of patients with FSGS. The genes and genetic pathways identified in this study can be compared to results of similar studies of other diseases to examine specificity and used to study the pathogenesis of FSGS.
Immunocytochemical and biochemical localization of insulin-like growth factor I in the kidney of rats before and after uninephrectomy (1988)

The localization of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I, somatomedin C) was investigated in the kidney of adult rats during normal conditions and after nephrectomy, using immunocytochemical and biochemical methods. In the normal kidney, IGF-I immunoreactivity could be demonstrated mainly in cells in the medullary collecting ducts and in those parts of the thin limb of Henle's loop located in the outer medulla. During compensatory growth all parts of the collecting ducts, including those in the cortex, showed IGF-I immunoreactivity, as did cells in the entire thin limb of Henle's loop. No IGF-I immunoreactivity could be demonstrated in the proximal or distal tubules, either in the control kidney or during compensatory growth. Biochemical measurements showed a significantly higher content of IGF-I in the inner medulla than in the cortex in the normal kidney. Uninephrectomy resulted in significantly increased IGF-I content in the cortex. It is suggested that IGF-I is produced mainly in the collecting ducts and in the thin limb of Henle's loop and exerts its effect on other parts of the nephron by paracrine mechanisms.

Dual-color super-resolution imaging of quantum dot clusters (2020)

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in small clusters can exchange excited state energy via various transfer mechanisms such as F¨orster resonant energy transfer (FRET). Such energy transfer enables excitons to move from larger bandgap donors to smaller bandgap acceptors. Clusters of mixed donor/acceptor QD species consequently have a spectral signature that is dependent on which QDs in the clusters are responsible for the emission. Using a dual-color super-resolution imaging approach, we report on the spectral characteristics of interacting QDs in clusters with nanometer spatial resolution. Higher emission intensities from clusters are shown to emanate from sub-regions of the clusters and have spectral signatures that indicate the emission is dominated by the acceptor region of the spectrum. Thus, energy transferring interactions among QDs in clusters funnel excitons primarily to acceptor particles. Acceptor particles are responsible for the majority of the emission from the clusters with an emission spectra corresponding to the spectral profiles of the acceptor species.
Power-aware distributed target detection in wireless sensor networks with UWB-radar nodes (2010)

Distributed detection of targets is one of the major applications of wireless sensor networks. Many existing results on distributed detection are either derived from analytical models or are based on simulations. In this paper, the performance of a distributed target detection system is evaluated by real measurement data obtained by UWB-radar-based sensor nodes. After local processing of the radar signal, the sensor nodes transmit their local decisions about the absence or presence of the target to a fusion center. For this purpose, a power-aware algorithm for resource allocation, which is tailored for UWB communication links is discussed. The feasibility and the effectiveness of this algorithm is evaluated by a hybrid approach based on the measurement data and simulations.
Aminosteroids. Part 5. Synthesis of the four isomeric 3,11-diamino-5α-pregnanes (1979)

Preparation of the four isomeric 3,11-diamino-5α-pregnanes is reported. Three (3β,11α-, 3α,11α-, and 3α,11β-) were prepared from 5α-pregnane-11,20-dione obtained from 20-oxo-5α-pregnane-3β,11α-diyl diacetate. The fourth (3β,11β-) was prepared from 11-oxo-5α-pregnan-3β-yl acetate which is also available from 5α-pregnane-11,20-dione, though for convenience another source was used.The equatorial amino-groups (3β- and 11α-) were formed by alkali-metal reduction of the oximes; the axial 3α-amino-group by reduction of the 3α-azide; and the axial 11β-amino-group by catalytic hydrogenation of the oxime.

Sport as education vs Sport as business (2023)

The notion that sport builds good character has been the main justification for community and school-based sport for almost two centuries with the traditional approach to sport for children and young people underpinned by the idea of it as moral, ethical, social, and personal education. Despite more recent belief in the ability of sport to redress lifestyle diseases and develop wellbeing, it is still commonly assumed that sport builds character but, with the increasing commodification of sport there are growing tensions between the values of the fields of business and sport as business, and sport as moral education that this chapter explores.

Implementation of an Artificial Immune System to Mitigate Cybersecurity Threats in Unmanned Aerial Systems (2019)

This project aims to use an artificial immune system to detect cyber-attacks on the dynamics of a minidrone. Using linear transfer functions, a zero-dynamics attack was designed to be injected into the system. To further explore how zero-dynamics translates from linear to non-linear systems, a similar attack was made using a random value rather than an unstable zero of the system. These attacks were then injected via the ground station computer. An offline artificial immune system was created and used to test the effectiveness of detecting the attacks. The immune system uses a discrete, binary, non-self recognition algorithm to create detectors and find disturbances in the data.
CRITICAL OXYGEN REQUIREMENT OF THE CORNEAL EPITHELIUM AS INDICATED BY SUCCINIC DEHYDROGENASE REACTIVITY (1974)

The oxygen-dependent enzyme, succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) was studied in the corneal epithelium of rabbits exposed to selected oxygen environments for specific periods of time. Oxygen atmospheres of 3% or less for a period of five hours caused greater than normal SDH reactivity, as did oxygen deprivation for five hours. Decreased SDH reactivity could be provoked as well by selected conditions. The histochemical procedure used here has application in studying new contact lens materials and the toxic effects of drugs and irritants on the corneal epithelium as well.
Controller interpolation methods for transition and control of nonlinear systems (2016)

This paper presents interpolation method that play a vital role in transition and control of non linear system presented in [4]. Since many problems may be caused by a not-carefully selected interpolation strategy. Some strategies may for example result in control signal discontinuities or transients during scheduling region transition. For these reason we present other interpolation methods for this task, which is finally validated on the continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) system.

Beta-Blockers Versus Diuretics in Hypertensive Men: Main Results from the HAPPHY Trial (1987)

Men aged 40-64 years with mild to moderate hypertension [diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 100-130 mmHg] were randomized to treatment with a diuretic (n = 3272) or a beta-blocker (n = 3297), with additional drugs if necessary, to determine whether a beta-blocker based treatment differs from thiazide diuretic based treatment with regard to the prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD) events and death. Patients with previous CHD, stroke or other serious diseases, or with contraindications to diuretics or beta-blockers were excluded. If normotension (DBP less than 95 mmHg) was not achieved by monotherapy, other antihypertensive drugs were added, but the two basic drugs were not crossed over. Patients were assessed at 6-monthly intervals. The mean follow-up for end-points was 45.1 months. Blood pressure (BP) side effects and end-points were recorded in a standardized manner. Entry characteristics and the BP reduction achieved were very similar in both treatment groups. All analyses were made on an intention-to-treat basis. The incidence of CHD did not differ between the two treatment groups. The incidence of fatal stroke tended to be lower in the beta-blocker treated group than in the diuretic treated group. Total mortality and the total number of end-points were similar in both groups. The percentage of patients withdrawn due to side effects was similar, whereas the number of reported symptoms, according to a questionnaire, was higher for patients on beta-blockers. The incidence of diabetes did not differ between the two groups. Subgroup analyses did not detect a difference in the effect of beta-blockers compared with diuretics in smokers as opposed to non-smokers, and beta-blockers also had the same effects as diuretics in the quartile with the highest predicted risk for CHD. Beta-blockers and thiazide diuretics were approximately equally well tolerated. The two drugs had a similar BP reducing effect although additional drugs had to be given more often in the diuretic group. Antihypertensive treatment based on a beta-blocker or on a thiazide diuretic could not be shown to affect the prevention of hypertensive complications, including CHD, to a different extent.
Hepatitis B virus and hepatocellular carcinoma (2001)

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major global cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Individuals who are chronic carriers have a greater than 100-fold increased relative risk of developing the tumour. Several mechanisms of HBV-induced HCC have been proposed. Integration of HBV DNA into the genome of hepatocytes occurs commonly, although integration at cellular sites that are important for regulation of hepatocyte proliferation appears to be a rare event. Functions of the HBx protein are also potentially oncogenic. These include transcriptional activation of cellular growth regulatory genes, modulation of apoptosis and inhibition of nucleotide excision repair of damaged cellular DNA. The effects of HBx are mediated by interaction with cellular proteins and activation of cell signalling pathways. Variations in HBV genome sequences may be important in hepatocarcinogenesis, although their significance has not yet been completely elucidated. Necroinflammatory hepatic disease, which often accompanies chronic HBV infection, may contribute indirectly to hepatocyte transformation in a number of ways, including by facilitating HBV DNA integration, predisposing to the acquisition of cellular mutations and generating mutagenic oxygen reactive species. Although HCC is a malignancy with a poor prognosis, the availability of an effective vaccine against HBV infection, and its inclusion in the Expanded Programme of Immunization of many countries, augurs well for the eventual elimination of HBV-associated HCC.
CLINICAL AND GENETIC RISK FACTORS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIVER DISEASE IN CYSTIC FIBROSIS. (1997)

Liver disease is a known complication of CF with a prevalence of up to 20%. The Israeli CF patient population has a high percentage of identified mutations in several different ethnic groups. To define the prevalence of liver disease and its association with genetic and clinical risk factors, we analyzed our entire patient population for the presence of biochemical and sonographic abnormalities suggestive of liver disease. Of the 288 patients screened (mean age 13.1±8.7 yrs, range 0.5-50yrs, 59% males), 80 (28%, age 14.2±8.7 yrs, 66% males) had liver involvement; 52 had isolated elevated liver enzymes and 28 (10%) had cirrhosis. Liver disease was more common among patients aged 10-25 years with a peak of 41% among patients aged 15-20. The incidence of liver disease was similar among Arab and Jews, and among patients from different ethnic Jewish origins. There was no clear association of liver disease with particular genotype. However, when CFTR mutations were grouped according to “severe” (homozygous or compound heterozygous for known severe mutations), “mild” (3849+10kbC→T) or “variable” (G85E, 5T allele) phenotypes, 32% of patients carrying the severe genotype and 47% of those carrying the variable phenotype, had liver disease compared to none of the mild phenotype (p=0.007). None of the patients with pancreatic sufficiency (PS) had liver involvement compared to 32% of the patients with pancreatic insufficiency (PI) (p=0.0003). No correlation was found between liver involvement and nutritional status, history of meconium ileus or DIOS, or severity of lung disease. In conclusion, this is the first comprehensive genotype/phenotype study on CF-related liver disease in a defined population with a wide range of genetic backgrounds. CF patients who carry severe or variable genotype and have PI are at increased risk to develop liver disease especially between 10-25 years of age. These patients should be considered for prophylactic treatment trials.
Branched-chain amino acid supplementation during 30-km competitive run: mood and cognitive performance. (1995)

It has been suggested that an elevated concentration of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) in specific areas of the brain may contribute to the development of central/mental fatigue during and after sustained exercise. Supplementation with branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) should prevent the exercise-induced increase in the plasma concentration ratio of free tryptophan to other large neutral amino acids (including BCAAs) and thereby prevent an elevation in the level of 5-HT in the brain. In this study, subjects were given either a mixture of BCAAs in a carbohydrate solution or a placebo drink that contained only carbohydrates during a 30-km cross-country race. Several tasks to measure cognitive performance were performed before and after the race. When subjects were supplied with BCAAs, their performance in the different parts of the color-word test (words, colors and color words) was improved by an average of 3-7% (p < 0.05) after exercise, whereas there was no difference in performance before and after exercise in the subjects who were given the placebo. Furthermore, the experimental group, supplied with BCAAs, maintained their performance in the shape-rotation and figure-identification tasks, whereas an impairment in performance in these tests by 25% (p < 0.05) and 15% (p < 0.05), respectively, was found in the subjects who received the placebo. Thus, BCAA supplementation seemed to have an effect on the more complex tasks, whereas no effect could be detected on the less demanding tasks. However, an intake of BCAAs during exercise modified only slightly the exercise-induced changes in mood.
