BACKGROUND: Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), as measured by ultrasound, has been used in large studies as a non-invasive marker for subclinical atherosclerosis. The Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) is a cohort of 15,105 civil servants in six Brazilian cities that included CIMT evaluation in its baseline assessment. The aim of the present narrative review was to provide an overview of ELSA-Brasil CIMT articles published up to July 31, 2017. DESIGN AND SETTING: Narrative ...

This paper presents a complete approach for switched reluctance generator (SRG) in variable wind energy conversion systems. Two forms of direct power control (DPC) and a commutative system that allows SRG performance at a wide range of speed variations are proposed. Thus, more mechanical energy can be captured in wind generation. In the proposed structure, the SRG operates in a self-excited mode using a common dc bus system of a voltage source inverter connected to an electrical grid. DPCs are proposed ...

Coastal regions in Southwest Europe have experienced major interventions and transformations of the territory with unprecedented urban development, primarily related to growing tourism activity. The coast is the place where marine and terrestrial processes converge, making it highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. However, the lack of information on the frequency of these extreme weather events and their impacts on the coast hampers an accurate analysis of the consequences of global ...

Abstract Aerial parts of Pittosporum undulatum were collected fortnightly for 1 year at the Parque de Saúde de Lisboa. Collective samples of two populations were investigated, i.e. from pruned and non‐pruned trees, and in addition samples from one pruned and one non‐pruned individual. An SEM study of the aerial parts showed the presence of non‐glandular T‐shaped trichomes, and capitate trichomes with an elongated stalk and two to four round‐shaped cells on the top. Numerous canals were seen at the ...

The most common causes of congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are CHRNE mutations, and some pathogenic allelic variants in this gene are especially frequent in certain ethnic groups. In the southern region of Brazil, a study found the c.130dupG CHRNE mutation in up to 33% of families with CMS. Here, we aimed to verify the frequency of this mutation among individuals with CMS in a larger cohort of CMS patients from different areas of Brazil and to characterize clinical features of these patients. ...

Spatial distribution and temporal patterns of slope instability can be related with a complex set of natural and human factors responsible for generating damages.

This work proposed a municipal landslide risk index (LRI) considering three risk dimensions: hazard, ...

Glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are being increasingly used to reinforce concrete members as an alternative to steel, particularly in harsh environments, owing to their main advantages that include high strength, low self-weight, electromagnetic transparency and non-corrodibility. However, besides being relatively expensive, GFRP bars have low elasticity modulus and exhibit linear elastic behaviour until failure, thereby providing no contribution to structural members’ ductility. This ...

The authors describe how service engineers can capitalize on Web services' interactions — namely, collaboration, substitution, and competition — to build social networks for service discovery. Through these networks, Web services identify those peers with which they'd like to work, those that can replace them in case of failure, and those that compete against them for selection.

Recharge is a key component of the hydrological balance in groundwater systems. Particularly in arid and semiarid settings recharge often takes place during isolated rainfall episodes. As a result pumping might cause groundwater levels to fall continuously for long periods of time, even if yearly abstractions remain below the average replenishment rate. Recharge is naturally difficult to quantify, as it depends on a complex variety of factors. Indirect techniques based on mathematical models have ...

This paper presents an interfaced wind energy conversion system (WECS) using the switched reluctance generator (SRG). A bidirectional DC-DC converter is adopted as an interface stage to achieve optimal excitation voltage at the SRG side, while a voltage source converter regulates the DC-bus voltage. The SRG works with superior performance, which is characterized by a compromise between efficiency and torque ripple, using the optimal excitation parameters. In addition, the interface stage adds a filtering ...
