OBJECTIVE to analyze the possibilities of help/support through the mapping and acknowledgement of the social network of women who denounce experiences of violence at a Police Precinct for Women. METHOD qualitative study based on the theoretical-methodological framework of Lia Sanicola's Social Network, through interviews with 19 women. RESULTS the analysis of the network maps evidenced that...

BACKGROUND For detection of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs) and antibodies to extractable nuclear antigens (ENAs), samples frequently are screened with indirect immunofluorescence (IIF); further determination of anti-ENA antibodies is performed only when the result is positive. However, because anti-ENA reactivities are found in samples with low fluorescence intensities, we determined anti-ENA a...

Preserving cultural heritage of industrial sites has become a political issue in Australia and elsewhere with the closure of many manufacturing and engineering based industries, the needed modernization of existing industrial sites and the spread of housing development into areas that have traditionally been preserved for industrial use. The size of these sites makes it difficult to preserve th...

The leaf inclination angle (LIA), defined as the or needle to horizontal plane, is vital in radiative transfer, precipitation interception, evapotranspiration, photosynthesis, and hydrological processes. This paper reviews field remote sensing methods determine LIA. In field, LIA determined using direct indirect methods. include contact, photographic, light detection ranging (LiDAR) methods, wh...

We present two tests that solve linear integer arithmetic constraints. These tests are sound and efficiently find solutions for a large number of problems. While many complete methods search along the problem surface for a solution, these tests use cubes to explore the interior of the problems. The tests are especially efficient for constraints with a large number of integer solutions, e.g., th...
