An algorithm for the enhancement of thermodilution signals

This study aimed to develop and evaluate an algorithm for enriching the thermodilution signal. The method proposed presents an improvement of previous works in the literature in terms of precision, convergence and computational effort. The algorithm proposed is a deconvolution method that works without the need for precise knowledge of the transfer function of the temperature sensor in the Swan-Ganz catheter.

Quality management tools in the food industry

To become more competitive, meet the demands and requirements of the market, reducing waste and rework, increasingly, companies and their managers are looking for systems management. With the main objective to investigate general elements, involving the implementation and performance of the tools of quality management, applied in food industries, a literature search was performed providing understand aspects of the management of production and quality management, relevant research and on the top seven quality tools.

Study of reducing the environmental impact OF CO2 emissions of flexible pavement materials: A critical review

The main objective of study is to present a summary to the best practical applications and recent investigation results on how to reduce environmental effect of carbon dioxide emissions CO2 in flexibly pavement materials, including extraction of virgin materials, heating material, hauling of materials from quarry to the asphalt plant and then to paving place, mix design. Another production techniques for the manufacturing of modified mixes such as warm mix asphalt (WMA), cold mix asphalt (CMA) and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mixes are included in this summary.

Solid waste collectors: health and local development in a neighborhood of campo grande / ms, Brazil

This manuscript briefly discusses some aspects related to the categories of solid waste collectors, as well as the health and local development where they reside. The aim of this manuscript is to find out how these three categories are articulated in a given social space. For this purpose the Dom Antônio Barbosa neighborhood was chosen, located in the city of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. A bibliographical research, field work and interviews were carried out to reach the proposed objectives.

Analysis of economic feasibility of voip telephony in a construction company in lages-sc

This article aims to evaluate theVoip Telephonyfocused on the evaluation of it’s economic feasibilityapplied in the evaluation of aConstruction Company in Lages city. Inaddition it will be analyzed a conventional carrier. The study had about of one-year duration, using the comparative descriptive methods.The results in a satisfactory manner, reducing to 40% of the current cost by integrating VOIP solutions as a low-cost differential and satisfactory quality using all the benefits of an Asterisk server.

Analysis of tubular structure in high rise buildings

In the construction of high rise buildings, the tubular structure is more effective way of stable and economic construction. The tube system resists lateral loads i.e. wind load, earthquake load, impact loads, etc. The tube system is formed by outer perimeter tube made of closely spaced columns which acts like a dense and strong structural wall and inner core connected by spandrel beams and floor slabs with moment connections. The building behaves like a hollow cylinder cantilevered perpendicular to the ground.

Characterization of cell wall polysaccharides and cellulosic ethanol potential in genotypes of sorghum biomass

In this study, the physicochemical characterization of the cell wall polysaccharides of different genotypes of sorghum bicolor, (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) were obtained using the raw biomass and after the chemical pretreatments, with the objective of this culture being a potential source for the production of cellulosic ethanol. Among the evaluated materials two hybrids brown midrib (bmr) sorghum biomass were tested compared to three conventional sorghum biomass hybrids.

Comparative analysis of leaf chlorophyll and moisture content on primary and secondary food plant of tasar silkworm antheraea mylitta drury

Cocoon crop performance through seasonal rearing of Antheraea mylitta Drury depend on the food plant variety and its nutritional status which helps the time bound agricultural works for economic advantage however the leaf production, chlorophyll and moisture content, quantity and season of the plant needs consideration in comparison with primary and secondary host plants for the commercial feasibility.
