This study evaluated the profile of implants subjected to torsion test. Four types of implants (Conexão®) were analyzed: Master Porous (MP - external hexagon, cylindrical, double-porous surface implants; 11.5 X 3.75 mm), Master Screw (MS - external hexagon, cylindrical, machined implants; 11.5 X 3.75 mm), Conect Conic (CC - external hexagon, cylindrical, machined implants; 11.5 X 3.5 mm) and Ma...

Three-dimensional simulations of the single-phase laminar flow and forced convective heat transfer of water in microchannels with small rectangular sections having specific hydraulic diameters and distinct geometric configurations were investigated numerically. The numerical results indicated that the laminar heat transfer was to be dependent upon the aspect ratio and the ratio of the hydraulic...

physical properties of fruits and vegetables are the subject of many researches because of its importance in designing of agricultural machinery. banana fruit is one of important fruit. in this study some physical properties of banana fruit (cavendish variety) were determined. properties which were measured included weight of whole fruit peel and pulp weight, dimensions, surface area and projec...

The main goal of this study was to improve the knowledge of ultrafine particle number distributions in large urban areas and also to call the attention to the importance of these particles on assessing health risks. Measurements of aerosol size distributions were performed during 2 weeks, with distinct pollutant concentrations (polluted and clean periods), on the rooftop of a building located i...

Cylindrical weirs are one of the most commonly employed hydraulic structures to measure flow, compare other types same width they pass larger discharge. This paper presents an experimental work together with a CFD simulation study effects geometric characteristics cylindrical weir and ramp placed upstream or downstream on discharge coefficient. Three different diameters three angles under disch...

We define a number of natural (from geometric and combinatorial points of view) deformation spaces of valuations on finite graphs, and study functions over these deformation spaces. These functions include both direct metric invariants (girth, diameter), and spectral invariants (the determinant of the Laplace operator, or complexity; bottom non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplace operator). We show ...

Geometric parameters in solar chimney power plants are numerically optimised for the purpose of better output figures. Several have been investigated pilot plant such as height and diameter, collector diameter slope, slenderness. However, ground slope has not studied to date despite its perspicuous impact on turbulent flow. In this study, impacts different angles ground, where radiation is abso...

Using the Max-Planck Millimeter Bolometer Array (MAMBO) at the IRAM 30m telescope we detected emission at 250 GHz from the Centaur Chariklo (1997 CU26). The observed continuum flux density implies a photometric diameter of 273 km. The resulting geometric albedo is 0.055, somewhat higher than expected from a comparison with most of the other few Centaurs and cometary nuclei for which such data a...
