This work presents particle swarm optimization (PSO) as an alternative method for solving an optimization problem that arises during nuclear reactor core design. The method is introduced and applied to a simplified core optimization problem found in literature. When compared with other evolutionary computation–based methods, PSO performs better. Moreover, PSO presents easier modeling and demands less computational effort in the optimization process. The obtained results are shown and discussed.

The main goal of this contribution was to analyze the distribution of types of foliar damage in the different genera of leaves forming the "Glossopteris Flora". We studied material collected in five localities in the southern Paraná Basin, dated as Early Permian (Sakmarian–Artinskian), was studied. Fourteen types of damage caused by insects were identified in leaves of Glossopteris sp., Gangamopteris sp., and Cordaites sp. A MANOVA with permutation tests was used to evaluate the effects of the factors " ...

Pharmaceutical compounds are designed to elicit a biological reaction in specific organisms. However, they may also elicit a biological response in non-specific organisms when exposed to ambient quantities. Therefore, the potential human health hazards and environmental effects associated with pharmaceutically active compounds presented in aquatic environments are being studied by researchers all over the world. Owing to their broad-spectrum occurrence in various environmental matrices, direct or ...

Kaolin waste from an industry in the Amazon region was selected as an economic source of Si and Al to optimize the synthesis of SAPO-34 molecular sieve. A sequential BBD, RSM and global desirability function (D) was used. The factors studied for optimization were the SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio, the concentration of the structure-directing agent (SDA; morpholine) and the crystallization time. The responses evaluated in the synthesized SAPO-34 were the relative crystallinity (%), the enthalpy of formation of ...

ABSTRACT Seeds are plant organs commonly found worldwide in late Paleozoic deposits. In Gondwana, the seeds are found in deposits from Southern Africa, Antarctica, Oceania, and South America, and are widely reported in the well-known “Glossopteris Flora”. Even with a significant record of these plant organs, little is known about plant-insect interactions with seeds during the Pennsylvanian and Permian periods. In the present paper, we recorded the first formal record of seed consumption by arthropods ...

Arthropods and land plants are the major macroscopic sources of biodiversity on the planet. Knowledge of the organization and specialization of plant-herbivore interactions, such as their roles in food webs is important for understanding the processes for maintaining biodiversity. A limited number of studies have examined herbivory through geological time. The most have analyzed localities from one restricted interval within a geological period, or a time transition such as the Paleocene-Eocene ...

Coastal areas may be impacted by human and industrial activities, including contamination by wastewater, heavy metals and hydrocarbons. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of hydrocarbons (TPH) and metals on the microbiota composition and abundance in two estuarine systems in the coast of São Paulo: the Santos (SE) and Itanhaém (IE) estuaries. The SE was found to be chronically contaminated by heavy metals and highly contaminated by hydrocarbons. This finding was correlated with the increased density ...

Natural single-crystal specimens of the montebrasite/amblygonite series from Brazil, with general formula LiAlPO4(F,OH), were investigated by electron microprobe, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and infrared absorption. Since little is known about impurities and their local symmetries, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was applied. Six different paramagnetic impurities and radiation defects were detected by EPR. Three of them, all substituting for Al3+ ions, namely, iron (Fe3+), vanadium ( ...

The tridentate ligands HL1, [(2-hydroxybenzyl)(2-(imidazol-2-yl)ethyl)]amine, and HL2, [(2-hydroxybenzyl)(2-(pyridil-2-yl)ethyl]amine, were used to synthesize binuclear CuII complexes, [Cu2(L1)2]Cl2•2H2O, complex 1, and [Cu2(L2)2](ClO4)2•1.5H2O, complex 2, in order to obtain catalysts for oxidative processes. Both complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis and EPR spectroscopies. In addition, they were studied by cyclic voltammetry and potentiometric titration in order to investigate ...

Four bis-piperidine alkaloids, madangamine F (1), haliclonacyclamine F (2). and arenosclerins D (3) and E (4), have been isolated from the marine sponge Pachychalina alcaloidifera and have been identified by analysis of spectroscopic data. The alkaloids displayed cytotoxic activity against different cancer cell lines. These results support the hypothesis of a common biogenetic origin for the Haplosclerida bis-piperidine and bis-pyridine alkaloids.

Cervical dentine hypersensitivity is the most frequent complaint among reported odontalgias. Thus, this study evaluated the effectiveness of two types of lasers (660 nm wavelength red, and 830 nm wavelength infrared) as dentine desensitizers, as well as both the immediate and late therapeutic effects in individuals 25 to 45 years of age. A total of 40 teeth with cervical exposure were treated in 4 sessions. They were divided into 2 groups according to treatment. A 660 nm wavelength red diode laser ...

The electro-oxidation of CO on platinum is a reaction of fundamental interest in electrocatalysis and also in technological electrochemistry, because of its relation with fuel cells and gas sensors. In this work, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to study the electro-oxidation of CO on a polycrystalline platinum rotating-disk electrode in perchloric acid solution. The results were interpreted in terms of a mechanism where the formation of oxygenated species on platinum is the limiting ...

Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) is a native freshwater fish that is of great importance for Brazilian aquaculture. Because of this importance, several techniques have been developed to improve the reproduction of this species in captivity. One of these techniques is the cryopreservation of sperm. In an effort to increase the efficiency of cryopreservation protocols, researchers have tried to determine suitable diluting solutions and freezing methods, which will provide a better post-thaw sperm quality. ...

Abstract This paper proposes a predictor–corrector primal–dual modified log-barrier interior–exterior point method with global convergence and cubic fitting strategies for solving the Reactive Optimal Power Flow (ROPF) problem. The interior–exterior approach is a variant of the primal–dual nonlinear rescaling method, recently proposed. The application of the global convergence strategy produces only descent directions, even if the optimization problem is non-linear and non-convex. The application ...

High chromium white cast iron (HCWCI) is considered a hard machinable material because of its high carbide content, which when associated with a matrix, forms a rigid and very hard microstructure. This work evaluates the effect of the addition of 0.5% niobium (Nb) on the machinability of a HCWCI alloy with 25.6% chromium and 3.2% carbon. The alloys were cast, heat-treated and characterised. The characterisation was performed by X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, hardness and carbide ...
