This multilevel cross-sectional study aimed to identify the contextual factors associated with dental cariesamong adults in Brazil. Data from adults who participated in the National Oral Health Research- SBBrazil 2010 project were included. The dependent variables were “caries occurrence” (measured using the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index) and “untreated caries” (decay component of the DMFT index). To adjust the models, individual independent and independent contextual variables were considered.

O refinamento global do registro de nuvens de pontos 3D é um problema constante para sensores que necessitam registrar múltiplos pares de nuvens de pontos 3D, uma vez que erros de deriva são gerados resultando em desalinhamentos angulares entre a posição real e a calculada pelo sensor. No tratamento destes erros, lugares revisitados são utilizados para correções globais na trajetória. Todavia, os modelos de correção disponíveis são iterativos e dependentes de parâmetros de transformação iniciais.

Na região Nordeste, os produtores rurais enfrentam problemas com os altos custos dos adubos e substratos comerciais em virtude da produção se concentrar nas regiões Sul e Sudeste do país.
