The trajectory of a robot end effector is described by a ruled surface and a spin angleabout the ruling of the ruled surface. In this paper, we analyzed the problem of describing trajectory of a robot end-effector by a spacelike ruled surface with spacelike ruling. We obtained the developed frame by rotating the generator frame at an Darboux angle in the plane, which is on the striction curve of the spacelike ruled surface.

The morphometric of hepatic ducts angle has been measured and related to some pathologies for the importance of overcoming some further invasive techniques and deducing valuable diagnostic findings. Measurement carried out of contrasted MRI for hepatic ducts angle, gallbladder volume, tumor diameter, stone diameter using ImageJ\ImageJ.exe software program; by drawing two lines running within the origins of both Right and Left hepatic ducts and crossing at biliary confluence angle on coronal oblique images in addition to gender, age, common diagnosis of liver.

In the Our first imagination about existence of the membrane redoxy potential three state dependent 9 stepped full cycle of proton conductance as very important precondition of normal existence of human body was connected with these regularly repeated processes as the transfer of electron to KoQ with the transfer of protons across a membrane to intermembrane space with participation of complex I-NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase, during which two electrons are removed from NADH and ultimately transferred to ubiquinone (UQ) - complex I also translocates four protons (H+) across the membrane an

Objective: To characterize the care during labor and childbirth in the perspective of primiparous mothers and health professionals. Method: Quantitative, cross-sectional study, conducted from April to September 2014 with 26 professionals in the obstetric center and 165 puerperal women at the Hospital de Clínicas de Pernambuco.

Results: Prevalent puerperal women’s age range 18-24 years (70.3%), deliveries performed by physicians (53.3%), assisted by nurses (7.3%).

Introduction: The number of congenital cardiac diseases patients increase day by day. With the rapid improvements in the diagnosis and treatments of these patients, a higher number of equipped pediatric cardiovascular surgery clinics are required today. Material and Method: The aim in our study was to retrospectively evaluate the first 60 cases in our new-established pediatric cardiovascular surgery clinic between June 20, 2017 and April 17, 2018. Among these patients, with a wide spectrum from neonatal to 53 year-olds, 33 were male and 27 were female. The median age was 5 (0-53).

The objective of this study was to induce metabolic disorders in rats with changes in diet and environmental factors. The animals were divided in groups (n=10): control with standard diet; standard dietwith environmental change (change Light-dark cycle – 14h/10h); cafeteria diet 1 (richer in fat); and cafeteria diet 2 (richer in sugar). Animal weight and food intake were monitored weekly. A glucose tolerance test was performed monthly. After twelve weeks of treatment, the animals were euthanized.
