O ângulo de atrito solo-muro e um parâmetro fundamental para o dimensionamento de um muro de arrimo. A pratica em projetos considera o valor do ângulo de atrito solo-muro igual a uma parcela do ângulo de atrito interno do solo. Valores experimentais para solos brasileiros nao estao disponiveis na literatura. O presente artigo apresenta resultados de ensaios de cisalhamento direto, realizados em corpos de prova de solo, em contato com outro material representativo de muros de arrimo (concreto convencional, ...

Neuroimaging research has shown that patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) may present brain structural and functional alterations, but the results across imaging modalities and task paradigms are difficult to reconcile. Are the same brain systems that are structurally different in OCD patients also involved in executive function and emotional processing? To answer this, we conducted separate meta-analyses of voxel-based morphometry studies, executive function functional magnetic resonance ...

Calcined clays have been used in pozzolanic portland cement manufacturing in Brazil for many years. However, their color imposes commercial limitation when cements show reddish or pinkish hues. This work presents two case studies consisting of reducing process calcination of two clays by reducing process in: electric static furnace to obtain maximum temperature (700–1000 °C) and burning time (5–20 min) conditions, as a function of color and pozzolanic reactivity, and; rotary kiln for both laboratorial ...

Cryptococcus spp. are human pathogens that cause 181,000 deaths per year. In this work, we systematically investigated the virulence attributes of Cryptococcus spp. clinical isolates and correlated them with patient data to better understand cryptococcosis. We collected 66 C. neoformans and 19 C. gattii clinical isolates and analyzed multiple virulence phenotypes and host-pathogen interaction outcomes. C. neoformans isolates tended to melanize faster and more intensely and produce thinner capsules ...

INTRODUÇÃO: A compartimentação atrial intra-operatória foi realizada em 27 pacientes, utilizando ultra-som (US). Esta forma de energia parece ser mais efetiva na criação de linhas de lesão nos átrios, mais profundas e mais uniformes, sem causar carbonização. CASUÍSTICA E MÉTODOS: Foram operados, de março de 1999 e junho de 2000, 27 pacientes, com média de idade de 36 anos. Destes, 19 eram mulheres, 23 eram portadores de doença reumática na valva mitral (5 eram casos de reoperação), 2 apresentavam ...

One of the main problems faced by humanity is pollution caused by residues resulting from the production and use of goods, e.g, sewage sludge. Among the various alternatives for its disposal, the agricultural use seems promising. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hydraulic conductivity and interaction of soil with sandy-silty texture, classified as Spodosols, from the Experimental Station Itapirema - IPA, in Goiana, state of Pernambuco, in mixtures with sewage sludge from the Mangueira ...

Abstract Background Malaria remains a major public health problem in South America, mostly in the Amazon region. Among newly proposed ways of controlling malaria transmission to humans, paratransgenesis is a promising alternative. Paratransgenesis aims to inhibit the development of parasites within the vector through the action of genetically modified bacteria. The first step towards successful paratransgenesis in the Amazon is the identification of Anopheles darlingi symbiotic bacteria, which are ...

This work analyzes the use of sewage sludge, generated in wastewater treatment plants, as an alternative for small aggregate to be used in concrete. Concrete cylindrical specimens with height h = 20 cm and diameter D = 10 cm were prepared using different amounts of sludge in the substitution of fine aggregates. Portland cement (CP II Z 32 RS cement) was used in all concrete mixtures, and two water-cement ratios and four cement-sludge mixtures were investigated. Compressive strength, sclerometer index, ...

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that salinity can affect indirectly the nitrate acquisition by a negative modulation triggered by glutamine accumulation. Cowpea plants were exposed to a mild NaCl concentration (50 mM) in order to restrict growth and N-demand. After 21 d, pretreated plants and control plants were supplied with 0, 5 and 10 mM of Ca(NO3)2 for 3 d in absence of NaCl. Salt pretreated plants showed a great limitation in acquisition of NO3 -, indicated by decline in the nitrate ...

The lack of synthesized information regarding biodiversity is a major problem among researchers, leading to a pervasive cycle where ecologists make field campaigns to collect information that already exists and yet has not been made available for a broader audience. This problem leads to long-lasting effects in public policies such as spending money multiple times to conduct similar studies in the same area. We aim to identify this knowledge gap by synthesizing information available regarding two ...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been investigated as promising candidates for use in new cell-based therapeutic strategies such as mesenchyme-derived tissue repair. MSCs are easily isolated from adult tissues and are not ethically restricted. MSC-related literature, however, is conflicting in relation to MSC differentiation potential and molecular markers. Here we compared MSCs isolated from bone marrow (BM), umbilical cord blood (UCB), and adipose tissue (AT). The isolation efficiency for both BM ...

Oxalate is a metabolic end-product whose systemic concentrations are highly variable among individuals. Genetic (primary hyperoxaluria) and non-genetic (e.g., diet, microbiota, renal and metabolic disease) reasons underlie elevated plasma concentrations and tissue accumulation of oxalate, which is toxic to the body. A classic example is the triad of primary hyperoxaluria, nephrolithiasis, and kidney injury. Lessons learned from this example suggest further investigation of other putative factors associated ...
