In this work, the viability of using dimension stone (limestone) waste by mixing them with polyester resin to produce a new type of ecological brick, in the model of soil-cement bricks, was tested. First, limestone waste were characterized by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry analysis (TG/DTG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Second, the polyester resin was analyzed by FTIR and TG/DTG. Then ...

Abstract 3D printing plays an important role in Industry 4.0 and has versatility to use different materials, including thermoplastic polymers. Polylactic acid (PLA), a bio‐based biodegradable polymer, is used as a potential replacement for petroleum‐based polymers in several applications, and is one of the most popular polymers used in 3D printing. Inorganic/organic nanoparticles can be incorporated in polymers to improve various properties such as thermal, mechanical, and tribological. This work ...

Abstract Background Photobiomodulation (PBMT) is a therapy that uses non-ionising forms of light, including low-level lasers and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that may be capable of modulating cellular activity. Some biological processes may also interact with static magnetic fields (sMF), leading to modulatory effects on cells. Previous studies have verified that the combination of PBMT and sMF (PBMT/sMF) enhances the performance of individuals during aerobic training programs. The detraining period ...

Pain is the most common reason for physician consultations and the number one reason for missed work or school days is musculoskeletal pain. Pain management is utilized for easing the suffering and improving the Quality of Life of those living with chronic pain. Over the past several decades, physicians have become increasingly willing to prescribe opioids to manage pain. However, the opioid use can cause side effects as poor coordination, sedation, mood swings, depression, and anxiety combined ...

The commercial use of glyphosate-resistant (also known as Roundup Ready®, GR or RR) soybean was initiated in 1996 in the United States. This genetically engineered crop now occupies 75.4 million ha worldwide, 20.6 million of which are in Brazil where it occupies 86% of the total area cropped with the legume. Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is critical for economic sustainability of soybean in Brazil; therefore, to investigate the effects of the RR gene—using pairs of nearly isogenic cultivars—and ...

Abstract Amazonian rivers are usually suggested as dispersal barriers, limiting biogeographic units. This is evident in a widely accepted Areas of Endemism (AoEs) hypothesis proposed for Amazonian birds. We empirically test this hypothesis based on quantitative analyses of species distribution. We compiled a database of bird species and subspecies distribution records, and used this dataset to identify AoEs through three different methods. Our results show that the currently accepted Amazonian AoEs ...

Background: This study evaluates the effects of probiotic therapy (PT) in rats with ligature‐induced periodontitis associated with restraint stress. Methods: Sixty‐four rats were divided into control, stress (STR), probiotic (PROB), periodontal disease (PD), STR‐PROB, STR‐PD, STR‐PROB‐PD, and PROB‐PD groups. The probiotic was added to the drinking water for 44 days. PD was induced by a ligature. In STR groups, the animals were subjected to restraint stress for 2.5 hours per day for 30 days. Results: ...

This paper presents a formal definition for HMBS (Hypermedia Model Based on Statecharts). HMBS uses the structure and execution semantics of statecharts to specify both the structural organization and the browsing semantics of hypermedia applications. Statecharts are an extension of finite-state machines and the model is thus a generalization of hypergraph-based hypertext models. Some of the most important features of HMBS are its ability to model hierarchy and synchronization of information; provision ...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world, and its main manifestation is pulmonary nodules. Detection and classification of pulmonary nodules are challenging tasks that must be done by qualified specialists, but image interpretation errors make those tasks difficult. In order to aid radiologists on those hard tasks, it is important to integrate the computer-based tools with the lesion detection, pathology diagnosis, and image interpretation processes. However, computer- ...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world, and one of its manifestations occurs with the appearance of pulmonary nodules. The classification of pulmonary nodules may be a complex task to specialists due to temporal, subjective, and qualitative aspects. Therefore, it is important to integrate computational tools to the early pulmonary nodule classification process, since they have the potential to characterize objectively and quantitatively the lesions. In this context, ...

Abstract Among all cancer‐related deaths, lung cancer leads all indicators, accounting for approximately 20% of all types. Patients diagnosed in the early stages have a 1‐year survival rate of 81% to 85%, while in an advanced stage have 15% to 19% chances of survival. The primary manifestation of this cancer is through pulmonary nodule on computed tomography images. In the early stages, it is a complex task even for experienced specialists and presents some challenges to classify these nodules in ...

Lung cancer is the most lethal malignant neoplasm worldwide, with an annual estimated rate of 1.8 million deaths. Computed tomography has been widely used to diagnose and detect lung cancer, but its diagnosis remains an intricate and challenging work, even for experienced radiologists. Computer-aided diagnosis tools and radiomics tools have provided support to the radiologist's decision, acting as a second opinion. The main focus of these tools has been to analyze the intranodular zone; nevertheless, ...

The perception of crowding, understood as an individual's response to crowds, can be observed in retail environments and influences positive and negative emotions. In this research we test the mediating effect of coping – rational strategies adopted to deal with negative emotions – in the relationship between negative emotions (resulting from crowding perception) and consumer behavior (measured by impulse purchase and satisfaction). The findings related to coping explain to what extent there is a positive ...

The vulnerability of epigenetic marks of brain cells to environmental stimuli and its implication for health have been recently debated. Thus, we used the rat model of acute restraint stress (ARS) to evaluate the impact of stress on the global DNA methylation and on the expression of the Dnmt1 and Bdnf genes of hippocampus, cortex, hypothalamus and periaqueductal gray (PAG). Furthermore, we verified the potential of physical exercise to modulate epigenetic responses evoked by ARS. Sedentary male Wistar ...
