Longitudinality, which is concerned with Primary Health Care (APS) professionals accompanying patients over time, is considered a central feature of this level of health care. The fulfilment of this attribute is related to positive health results, which justify its use for assessing Primary Health Care. On the other hand, the term is not commonly used by Brazilian authors, and in international ...

This paper presents a novel and non-destructive approach to the appearance characterization and classification of commercial pork, turkey and chicken ham slices. Ham slice images were modelled using directional fractal (DF(0°;45°;90°;135°)) dimensions and a minimum distance classifier was adopted to perform the classification task. Also, the role of different colour spaces and the resolution le...

This study examines the impact of bacterial concrete on strength and self-healing. Bacterial has better compressive strength, permeability, corrosion resistance, chemical precursors, alkalinity mechanical stress. Bacillus subtilis calcium lactate spore powder effects are explored in this study, influence form self-healing capacity to crack repair. The concentration 105 cells/mL is used with 0.3...

Macro-scale revolute joints can be formed by first molding the hole and then molding the pin inside the hole. As the pin shrinks during the solidification process, it moves away from the hole and provides the clearance for the joint to function. The value of clearance in the macroscale joint can be controlled by carefully selecting the process parameters and the material for the pin. However, i...

Ion irradiation of thermoplastically molded Pt57.5Cu14.3Ni5.7P22.5 metallic glass nanowires is used to study the relationship between glass structure and tensile behavior across a wide range of structural states. Starting with the as-molded state of the glass, ion fluence and irradiated volume fraction are systematically varied to rejuvenate the glass, and the resulting plastic behavior of the ...
