Estudo numérico comparativo da potência disponível entre ondas regulares e irregulares: estudo de caso de um dispositivo de coluna de água oscilante na costa de rio grande – rs

A energia das ondas é um recurso pouco aproveitado, devido ao custo atual elevado de produção. Simulações realísticas do estado de mar são necessárias para avaliar a viabilidade e eficiência da instalação de dispositivos conversores da energia das ondas do mar em energia elétrica. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho apresenta uma comparação da potência disponível em um conversor do tipo Coluna de Água Oscilante (CAO) quando submetido a ondas irregulares ou ondas regulares.

Microbiological and physico-chemical quality of moist and natural pet foods sold in Brazil

This study evaluated the microbiological and physico-chemical quality of moist and natural foods for dogs and cats sold in Brazil. Three lots of 12 samples were collected, 4 correspond to diets categorized as economic, 2 for each species, 6 as premium, 2 feline and 4 canine, and 2 diets as natural, 1 for each species. The most pet foods analyzed are in accordance with the physico-chemical parameters, except the results of neutral and acid detergent fibre and fat values. All categories of pet foods evaluated comply with the maximum limit defined for coliforms at 45ºC.

Additive manufacturing and injection molding process for mass-production of face shields during Covid-19 Pandemic: a comparative study

Face shield is an equipment required for healthcare professionals to decrease the risk of contamination during the COVID-19 pandemic. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is the most applied process of additive manufacturing due to its usability and low-cost, the injection molding (IM) is the fastest process for mass industrial production. In this study a qualitative comparison of these processes was performed for mass-production and distribution of face shields.
