We have built a short Foucault pendulum of 1-m length. The aim of this work was to increase the sensitivity to elliptical trajectories from other longer pendula. The design was a semi-rigid pendulum that rolls over a sma...

This work studies the performance of two open-source CFD codes, OpenFOAM and MFiX, to address bubbling fluidized bed system at different temperature and heat transfer conditions. Both codes are used to predict two parame...

In this work, a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model for daily routing of trucks in forest industry is presented. The aim is to generate truck routes at minimum cost, while logs supply is guaranteed. Models usua...

Despite the effect of water content on radar backscattering is well known, isolating the contributions from soil, vegetation, and vegetation superficial water content (wetness) is still challenging. This work aim to char...

1. Desertification is of critical concern because it may affect 40% of the global land area inhabited by more than 1 billion people. During the process of desertification, defined as land degradation in arid, semi-arid a...

The ferromagnetic amorphous phase in rapidly solidified Nd60Fe30Al10 glass forming alloys is investigated in melt spun ribbons (100 µm thick) and in chill cast cylinders (2 mm diameter). The amorphous resulting for thes...

Background and aim Membranes for guided bone regeneration should have a mechanical structure and a chemical composition suitable for mimicking biological structures. In this work, we pursue the development of periosteum-...

Nowadays consumers demand fresh-cut fruits free from additives and with appealing appearance. High pressure processing (HPP) could be a suitable alternative to preserve fresh-cut fruit, since it is less aggressive than t...

In this article, we report the first finding and description of an unborn specimen of Cingulata Glyptodontidae. This specimen was found inside a well-preserved dorsal carapace assignable to Glyptodon cf. G. elongatus, pa...

Comparative analysis of predicted parameters B0, B1 and D1 by IRI-2001model (International Reference Ionosphere) and those obtained from the Monthly Averaged Representative Profiles (MARP) at mid-latitude station shows s...

In this review, we highlight the evolution of our knowledge about the way Mg2+ participates in the activation of heterotrimeric G proteins, beginning with its requirement in hormonal stimulation of fat cell adenylyl cycl...

Background: Risk stratification is a cornerstone of cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and a main strategy proposed to achieve global goals of reducing premature CVD deaths. There are no cardiovascular risk scores b...

IntroductionWeather classification plays a crucial role in applications such as environmental monitoring, disaster management, and smart city infrastructure. Accurate and efficient classification of weather conditions fr...

BackgroundInnovation in long-term care for older adults is essential to manage challenges such as a growing demand and workforce shortages. Organizations with higher innovation readiness are more likely to adopt and sust...
