Forecasts for pm10 in macuco, Brazil

Pollutant parameter measurements are constantly carried out at monitoring stations. The object of this work is the time series of the content of particulate matter with a diameter smaller than 10 micrometers in the municipality of Macuco/RJ. The time series has no normality, stationarity, or seasonality. The database was separated into two periods: between January 2015 and December 2019 for training and between January and December 2020 for testing. The ARIMA(1,0,0), ETS(A,N,N) and AR-NN(1,1) models were adjusted.

Modulation of the microbiota in the therapeutic approach to autism spectrum disorder: a systematic review

Most children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have gastrointestinal manifestations. The use of probiotics and prebiotics has gained significant scientific community visibility as possible beneficial interventions in the therapeutic arsenal of ASD. Thus, the objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review to assess the effects of microbiota on ASD. MEDLINE-PubMed and EMBASE were used to perform the search and PRISMA guidelines were followed. Seven studies were selected and demonstrated significant improvement in gastrointestinal symptoms using prebiotics.

Simultaneous improvement of the electric conductive and mechanical properties of nanostructured aluminum alloy

Aluminum nanocomposites demonstrate improvements in mechanical properties, as well as in thermal and electric conductivity. The incorporation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in the aluminum matrix, using conventional melting methods, is a long-standing issue. In this paper, Aluminum nanocomposites were fabricated via conventional casting method, using a nanostructured stainless-steel (SS) powder. Carbon nanotubes were treatedwith hydrogen peroxide, which led toan attachment tothe metal matrix particles.

Trata-se do relato de experiência de uma ação de educação permanente desenvolvida em uma instituição hospitalar localizada na Região Norte do Estado do Ceará, em abril de 2021.

Obtaining biofuel from rice bran oil as energy alternative: Thermal and oxidative stability

The biofuel is a fuel alternative that burns cleans, produced from resources recuperative home. The biodiesel does not contain petroleum, but can be by adding it forming a composite, can be used well into on the pump as aignation the compression diesel without need to modification. This chore it had as a objective synthesis the biodiesel derived from the rice bran oil and access the thermal and oxidativestability from the oil and from the biodiesel derived from the rice bran, using the Thermogravimetry (TG) and the one Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC).

Mortality in oncologic patients with sars-cov-2 infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Introduction: The infection with the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, is responsible for the disease COVID-19, which is associated with more serious outcomes in oncologic patients, as they are more vulnerable to get the viral infection and also to develop severe cases of the disease, as they have an immune system compromised not only by the treatment but also by the tumor itself. Objectives: Analyze the risk factors linked to increased mortality in cancer patients with COVID-19, in addition to evaluating the mortality rate in these patients.
