1. ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF A CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION SYSTEM
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the energy efficiency of a center pivot irrigation system operating in a terrain of variable topography. Values of Pumping Energy Efficiency (PEE), Supply Energy Efficiency (SEE), Global Energy Efficiency (GEE) and Specific Energy (Es in kWh m-3) computed at 18 different angular positions of the lateral line were used as

2. Intercostal and forearm muscle deoxygenation during respiratory fatigue in patients with heart failure: potential role of a respiratory muscle metaboreflex
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of respiratory muscle fatigue on intercostal and forearm muscle perfusion and oxygenation in patients with heart failure. Five clinically stable heart failure patients with respiratory muscle weakness (age, 66±12 years; left ventricle ejection fraction, 34±3%) and nine matched healthy controls underwent

3. Assessment of the mechanics of a tissue-engineered rat trachea in an image-processing environment
OBJECTIVES:Despite the recent success regarding the transplantation of tissue-engineered airways, the mechanical properties of these grafts are not well understood. Mechanical assessment of a tissue-engineered airway graft before implantation may be used in the future as a predictor of function. The aim of this preliminary work was to develop a noninvasive i

5. Application of adaptive control in a refrigeration system to improve performance
This paper reports an experimental investigation using adaptive control in a refrigeration system. This system is composed basically of a semi-hermetic compressor, concentric tubes heat exchangers, the condenser and evaporator, and thermostatic expansion valve (TXV). The refrigerant used in the refrigeration system was the HCFC-22 and also an AC frequency in

6. Mepiquat chloride application on cotton at variable rate.
Mepiquat chloride (1.1 - dimethylpiperidinium chloride) are used to control excessive vegetative growth in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) broadcast sprayed by ground or air. As proven by previous researches the variability of the cotton plants height in the field is large enough to justify the application of Mepiquat at variable rate. The major advantages of

7. Experimental investigation of the liquid volumetric mass transfer coefficient for upward gas-liquid two-phase flow in rectangular microchannels
The gas-liquid two-phase mass transfer process in microchannels is complicated due to the special dynamical characteristics. In this work, a novel method was explored to measure the liquid side volumetric mass transfer coefficient kLa. Pressure transducers were utilized to measure the pressure variation of upward gas-liquid two-phase flow in three vertical r

8. Otimização topológica de transdutores piezelétricos com gadação funcional de material: projeto, simulação, análise e fabricação. / Topology optimization of piezoelectric transducers considering functionally graded material: design, simulation, analysis and fabrication.
Piezoelectric materials generate displacements when they are excited by electrical potential and electrical potential when they are excited by force or pressure. These materials are widely applied in Precision Mechanics, Mechatronics, and Ultrasonic imaging areas. On the other hand, Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) are advanced materials, whose properties

9. Calibration and management of porous cap soil solution samplers and pressure transducers for monitoring fertigation ions / Calibração e manejo de extratores providos de cápsulas porosas e transdutores de pressão para monitoramento de íons na fertirrigação
The fertigation management with ion concentration control in the soil solution its an alternative technique and feasible economic, however its necessary to calibrate it to be effectively recommended. This work had the aim to determine calibrated equations to monitor the electrical conductivity (EC) and the solution ion concentration in soils of two different

10. Avaliação do efeito relaxante do BAY 41-2272 em detrusor isolado de coelhos / Evaluation of relaxant effect of BAY 41-2272 in rabbit isolated detrusor
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a highly prevalent condition that affects millions of people worldwide with a profound effect on quality of life. The bladder overactivity is related to spontaneous contractions of the detrusor smooth muscle causing an increase in the intravesical pressure and consequently stimulation of the micturirion reflex. Evidences suggest t

11. Atualização de sistema duplicador de pulsos para teste de proteses de valvulas cardiacas / Upgrade of a pulse duplicator system for cardiac valve prostheses evaluation
It has become very frequent the use of mechanic or biological cardiac valve prostheses. These prostheses must be evaluated (in vitro and in vivo tests) in order to be used clinically. The hydrodynamic performance tests are carried out in vitro. The analyses of the test results are very important for the characterizations and classification of a given prosthe

12. Microeletronic pressure sensor based on the transversal piezoresistive effect in silicon / Sensor de pressão microeletronico baseado no efeito piezoresistivo transversal em silicio
This work describes a CMOS-Compatible multiterminal piezoresistive pressure sensor based on the transversal piezoresistive effect, which consists of a piezotransducer fabricated on a membrane. The layout of this piezoelement is designed in such a way that its sensitivity is improved by maximizing the effect of the mechanical stress over the equipotential lin
