A multiphysic model that simultaneously describe different transport phenomena in porous media is presented. The porous matrix is regarded as a bundle of periodically constricted tubes, whose pore radius distribution is ...

Abstract Background Equitable access to healthcare depends not only on the overall availability of medical professionals but also on their fair geographic distribution. Physicians are central to patient care and health s...

Abstract Hydroformed parts are widely used in industrial automotive parts because of their higher stiffness and fatigue strength and reduced weight relative to their corresponding cast and welded parts. This paper report...

Innovation is a central driver of competitiveness at both institutional and national levels and serves as one of the key stimuli for production. It plays a vital role for countries aiming to enhance their economic growth...

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi o de estudar a variabilidade espacial de chuvas convectivas na Amazônia, durante o experimento LBA/TRMM em 1999. Um conjunto de dados consistindo de 37 pluviômetros (divididos em 4 subconj...

Aiming at improving the inversion quality of anomalies near the electrodes in boreholes, which has been a large issue interfering in the three-dimensional (3D) cross-hole electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), an inver...

Abstract Automatic liver tumor segmentation using Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography (SPECT/CT) provides detailed insights that facilitate accurate tumor targeting and effective treatment plan...

"This paper presents a statistical signal processing method for the characterization of EEG of patients suffering from epilepsy. A statistical model is proposed for the signals and the Kullback-Leibler divergence is used...

Współczynnik beta jest jednym z najpopularniejszych wskaźników stosowanych przez inwestorów, jednak niewielu z nich zadaje sobie trud by dokładnie przeanalizować jego charakterystykę zadawalając się danymi dost...

Rich in multiple strategic rare metals, deep-sea manganese nodules constitute an essential mineral resource for balancing terrestrial resource supply and demand and facilitating the global energy transition. Accurate pre...

Abstract Introduction Tobacco is one of the biggest public health problems and a major risk factor for various non-communicable diseases (NCDs). An important aspect of tobacco control strategy could include modifications...

Introduction and aims: Skeletal Class II malocclusion is heterogeneous, and conventional two-dimensional cephalometry may not fully capture relevant three-dimensional (3D) craniofacial variation. This study aimed to iden...

This paper studies recent inequality patterns and the distributional effects of schooling and job informality on wage inequality in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico during the 2002?2014 period. By means of a quanti...

Abstract Nanofluids have emerged as promising heat transfer media due to their superior thermal performance associated to conventional fluids, yet their behavior under mutual impacts of radiation, heat source/sink, and m...

ABSTRACT The formation of stray grains (SGs) remains a critical and pervasive challenge hindering the additive manufacturing (AM) of single crystals for high‐temperature aerospace applications. Here, we elucidate the m...

In blasting design, blasting parameters poorly match the actual blast area, while manual adjustments result in low efficiency and suboptimal borehole layout. This study therefore proposes a borehole layout optimization a...

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) remains a significant public health concern in Chile despite the implementation of comprehensive smoke-free policies. This study aimed to identify sociodemographic, behavioral, and bioch...

We used temperature‐sensitive poly(N‐ isopropylacrylamide) hydrogels as drug delivery systems, so changes in body temperature induced by pathogens could act like external stimuli to activate controlled release of the...

Abstract The water-lubricated bearings are usually the state of turbulent cavitating flow under high-speed conditions. And the distribution of cavitation bubbles and the interface effect between the two phases have not b...

This study addresses the issue of nanoparticle agglomeration and the resulting inhomogeneous structure and performance degradation in Cu–Al₂O₃ composite coatings prepared by jet electrodeposition. To improve partic...

Casting processes show some weaknesses. A particular problem is presented when the workpiece needs to be subjected to heat treatments to achieve a desired microstructure. This problem arises from the microsegregation phe...

O objetivo principal neste estudo foi analisar a influência de variáveis técnicas e econômicas sobre os índices de eficiência técnica de produtores de leite de Minas Gerais ao longo de pontos distintos da distribu...

Background: Long COVID is associated with elevated inflammatory and antibody levels. Elevated plasma proteins can increase blood viscosity and decrease blood flow. Our aim is to evaluate if blood viscosity is associated ...

Considering the spatial variability of soil properties, a probabilistic evaluation method is proposed for the safety of buildings above tunnels based on the random field theory and the numerical analysis method. The elas...
