This work developed compression tests of 120 prisms in order to investigate the influence of joint thickness and compressive strength of job-site mixed and preblended mortars on strength and stiffness of masonry made of normal and high-strength concrete blocks. Experimental results distinguish the effects of joint thickness on the behavior of prisms made of units considerably weaker than mortars and vice versa. Comparisons between the effects of joint thickness on prisms made of job site mixed and ...

The global population is ageing at an unprecedented rate. With changes in life expectancy across the world, three major issues arise: an increasing proportion of senior citizens; cognitive and physical problems progressively affecting the elderly; and a growing number of single-person households. The available data proves the ever-increasing necessity for efficient elderly care solutions such as healthcare service and assistive robots. Additionally, such robotic solutions provide safe healthcare ...

This study evaluated the mobility and persistence of atrazine and ametryn in red–yellow latosols using polyvinyl chloride columns with a diameter of 100 mm and a height of 15 cm. The assays simulated 60-mm rainfall events at 10-day intervals for 70 days. The persistence and leaching were evaluated for these two herbicides. The analytes obtained from the samples were quantified by gas chromatography using flame ionization detection. Compared with ametryn, atrazine showed a greater potential to reach ...

A novel method based on solid-liquid extraction with low temperature partition combined with gas chromatography with electron capture detection was established for the determination and quantification of fungicides (azoxystrobin, chlorothalonil and difenoconazole) in bell pepper (Capsicum annum L.). The performance of the method was assessed by studying selectivity, limits of detection and quantification, linearity, accuracy, and precision. Linearity (r > 0.99) was achieved for all compounds when calibration ...

Proteases are commonly involved in bacterial pathogenesis and their inhibition has represented a successful therapeutic approach to treat infectious diseases. However, there is little information on the role of proteases in the pathogenesis of Mycobacteria. Five of these genes, three coding for putative secreted proteases, were selected in the present study to investigate their expression in Mycobacterium leprae isolated from skin biopsies of multibacillary leprosy patients. Via nested-PCR, it was ...

A descoberta do poder inseticida do DDT, primeiro inseticida orgânico sintético, além de render a Paul Mueller o prêmio Nobel de Fisiologia e Medicina, em 1948, deu início à era dos pesticidas organoclorados. A partir do DDT, foram surgindo números cada vez maiores de pesticidas. Apesar dos benefícios, o uso indiscriminado desta classe de substâncias gerou graves problemas ecológicos. Hoje, estima-se que a porcentagem de seres vivos, vegetais e animais, não contaminados, seja relativamente baixa. ...

We collected samples from 25 adult horses without clinical signs of any disease. From each animal, we collected whole blood samples from the jugular vein and a splenic puncture blood sample. All samples were submited to blood cell counts and detection of Theileria or Babesia. ...

Noncompaction of ventricular myocardium (NVM) is a rare cardiomyopathy, most probably caused by disturbances in embryonic morphogenesis of the myocytes, resulting in prominent trabeculations in the ventricular myocardium . Several diagnostic criteria have been proposed by echocardiography, and its association with other heart diseases is common. Its mortality is closely related to ventricular dysfunction, cardiac arrhythmias, and cardioembolic events . We report here a case of occurrence of atrioventricular ...

Abstract Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are two-dimensional structures with a rich variety of electronic properties that derive from their semiconducting band gaps. In these materials, charge transport can occur via a hopping process mediated by carriers formed by self-interacting states between the excess charge and local lattice deformations. Here, we use a two-dimensional tight-binding approach to reveal the formation of bipolarons in GNRs. Our results show that the formed bipolarons are dynamically ...

New monolayer 2D carbon structures, namely qHPC60 and qTPC60, were recently synthesized by covalently bonding C60 polymers. Here, we carried out Reactive (ReaxFF) molecular dynamics simulations to study the thermodynamic stability and fracture patterns of qHPC60 and qTPC60. Our results showed that these structures present similar thermal stability, with sublimation points of 3898K and 3965K, respectively. qHPC60 and qTPC60 undergo an abrupt structural transition becoming totally fractured after a ...
