A transformer tap estimation technique is presented that overcomes earlier limitations because of a direct algorithmic approach. The procedure provides for turn ratio and phase angle measurements, and treats each transformer tap setting as an independent state variable. The problem of discrete tap positions is addressed, and an appropriate integer variable technique is presented. The method is general and is compatible with state estimation techniques which are based on network measurements and ...

In this paper the initial draft design of a payment for ecosystem services (PES) scheme in a municipality within the sugarcane belt of São Paulo state, Brazil (PES-RC), is compared with prevailing characteristics of successful PES cases in Latin America (PES-LA). This systematic comparison is performed by analyzing four major characteristics of PES: identity of traded ecosystem service (ES); spatial scale; type of transaction involved between ES providers and beneficiaries; and the involved actors. ...

The influence of steel slag expansion level on the early stage performance of hot mix asphalt (HMA) is evaluated. Initially, samples of Linz-Donawitz type steel slag with different levels of expansion (6.71%, 3.16%, 1.33%) were submitted to physical, mechanical, and morphological characterization to assess the effects of expansion on individual material properties. Steel slag was then used as aggregate in HMA to verify the effects of its expansion characteristics on the volumetric and mechanical performance ...

Almost all physiological processes within the organism, including immune parameters and hormones, follow a circadian rhythm. These daily fluctuations are often observed in free-living organisms; however, little is known regarding hormonal and immune daily variations in anurans, particularly under laboratory conditions. This study aimed to investigate the hormonal and immune daily variation in captive-bred Bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) under constant conditions (21 °C and 12:12 LD cycle). Our ...

Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) is an infusion traditionally drunk in many countries of South America. Along its industrial manufacture, a fine yerba mate powder represents a considerable proportion of the total production, consisting of an industrial by-product not safe for human consumption, rich in minerals, that could be useful as organic compost. In line with current bioeconomic trends, here we present the recycling of yerba mate industrial by-products into urea, potassium and phosphate-containing ...

The concept of Ecological Potential was explored using the macrobenthic communities of the Mondego estuary (Portugal). Different scenarios (loss of a primary producer and intertidal habitat, and habitat modification due to hydromorphological changes and continued press perturbation) were tested to predict changes in the biology if hydromorphological pressures could be reversed, assuming that differences with and without the pressure could indicate the potential. Results showed noticeable changes in ...

In this context, the development of new service design methods and models for creating new service futures is an important stream of service design research. Such developments can benefit from a systematized research methodology that builds on existing knowledge and robustly evaluates the suitability of research contributions. To address this challenge, the purpose of ...

This is evident in healthcare services, where well-being can be achieved only through the joint efforts of professional healthcare networks and patient networks. Addressing the challenge of creating network-level services, the service design for value networks (SD4VN) method designs services as enablers of many-to-many value cocreating interactions among ...

Accurate and reliable benthic quality indicators are in great demand following the recent developments and the strict time schedule for implementing the European Water Framework Directive. The Mondego estuary has experienced a progressive deterioration during the 1990s, followed by a partial ecological recovery due to restoration measures in 1997/1998. We have used the estuary as a model system to test the performance and robustness of a set of ecological indicators in highlighting the changes in ...

Macroalgae communities constitute one of the ecological quality elements for the evaluation of the ecological quality status (EQS) of coastal and transitional waters, required to implement the WFD. While these algae are natural components of estuarine systems and play important roles in several estuarine processes, macroalgal blooms are of ecological concern because they can reduce the habitat quality. Several works are being carried out to set standard methods for monitoring macroalgae blooms, in ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of the electrochemically assisted photocatalytic process in the degradation of C. I. Reactive Blue 19 on a Ti/Ru0,3Ti0,7O2 electrode. By using the quartz device and the Ti-supported noble metal oxide coating, decolorizations ratios higher than 95% and TOC reduction of about 52% were observed during a period of 120 min. Comparing this value with the sum of the decolorization ratios obtained by a single application of electrochemical and photochemical ...

The remarkable success of deep learning has prompted interest in its application to medical imaging diagnosis. Even though state-of-the-art deep learning models have achieved human-level accuracy on the classification of different types of medical data, these models are hardly adopted in clinical workflows, mainly due to their lack of interpretability. The black-box nature of deep learning models has raised the need for devising strategies to explain the decision process of these models, leading ...

Designers aspire to create engaging and desirable experiences. To that end they study users, aiming to better understand their preferences, ways of thinking and desired outcomes. In the service sector this task is more intricate as experiences encompass the whole customer journey, or the sequence of moments of interaction between customer and company. In services, one poorly designed interaction can severely compromise the overall experience. Despite experience holistic nature, current methods address ...

Treatment of effluent from the cellulose and textile industries by applying a heterogeneous photocatalytic procedure using UV-light and free and supported catalysts is reported. When Kraft and textile effluents are submitted to UV-irradiation in the presence of free TiO2 and ZnO or silica gel supported ZnO, the colour fades progressively to reach substantial decolorization ratios. This decolorization process is accompanied by a considerable reduction of total phenol concentrations in the black liquor ...
