Three important mechanisms that contribute to the compression of municipal solid waste are instantaneous compression in response to applied load, secondary mechanical creep, and time-dependent biological decomposition. A composite compressibility model that explicitly takes these mechanisms into account was developed and implemented in a computer program to calculate landfill settlements. The model performance was assessed using data from the Bandeirantes Landfill, which is a well-documented landfill ...

This paper presents open and closed-loop analyses of a counter flow wet cooling tower. The closed-loop system analysis was based on a comparative evaluation of three control strategies. The first and second comprised a split-range control of the cooling water temperature and an index of thermal performance (efficiency), respectively, and the third strategy comprised a combination of override and split-range control in order to control two performance indexes (efficiency and effectiveness). In this ...

ABSTRACT Kinetic modeling is a powerful tool for combustion investigations and has been widely used. The validation of the model is a very important element of the work, to achieve realistic results, and it normally uses concentration profiles of some participant species. In this work, a kinetic model was validated using the chemiluminescent emissions of excited radicals produced in ethanol vapor combustion in a closed chamber, where a fixed mass of premixed reagents was ignited. A reaction mechanism ...

Subcutaneous implantation of synthetic materials and biomedical devices often induces abnormal tissue healing – the foreign body reaction – which impairs their function. Here we investigated the role of the chemokine receptor CCR2 in this reaction to subcutaneous implants in mice. We measured angiogenesis, inflammation and fibrogenesis induced by implantation, for 1, 4, 7 and 14 days, of polyether–polyurethane sponges in mice with genetic deletion of CCR2 (KO) and WT mice. Blood flow was determined by ...

The detection of causal interactions between variables from time series data is an important problem in many research areas. Granger causality is a well-known approach that uses prediction error to infer causality. However, the autoregressive models fitted to data usually do not pass model validation tests based on residual analysis, resulting in low causality values that can be inconclusive. The method proposed here fits models for paired combination of all variables and inferences about causality ...

ABSTRACT Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is a global health emergency that causes significant neurodegeneration. Neurodegenerative processes may be exacerbated by N -methyl- d -aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-dependent neuronal excitoxicity. Here, we have exploited the hypothesis that ZIKV-induced neurodegeneration can be rescued by blocking NMDA overstimulation with memantine. Our results show that ZIKV actively replicates in primary neurons and that virus replication is directly associated with massive neuronal ...

Detection of undesirable events in oil and gas wells can help prevent production losses, environmental accidents, and human casualties and reduce maintenance costs. The scarcity of measurements in such processes is a drawback due to the low reliability of instrumentation in such hostile environments. Another issue is the absence of adequately structured data related to events that should be detected. To contribute to providing a priori knowledge about undesirable events for diagnostic algorithms ...

Abstract – External root resorption processes are usually associated with dental trauma, mainly avulsion and intrusion. In such cases endodontic therapy aims to prevent this process by using medications that can inhibit osteoclastic activity, such as bisphosphonates. However, these drugs must be biocompatible to the periapical tissues. The aim of this study was to analyze the cytotoxicity of a bisphosphonate (sodium alendronate) on human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDL cells). Cells were plated ...
