The American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL) is caused by parasites belonging to the genus Leishmania (Trypanosomatidae) and is transmitted to humans through the bite of certain species of infected phlebotomine sand flies. In this study, we investigated the natural infection ratio of Lutzomyia longipalpis, the main vector species of AVL in Brazil, in Várzea Grande, Mato Grosso State. Between July ...

The hierarchy is often used to infer knowledge from groups of items and relations in varying granularities. Hierarchical clustering algorithms take an input of pairwise data-item similarities and output a hierarchy of the data-items. This paper presents Bidirectional agglomerative hierarchical clustering to create a hierarchy bottom-up, by iteratively merging the closest pair of data-items into...

The influence of Q wave acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction (MI) on the sensitivity of the voltage electrocardiographic criteria of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was assessed in this study. Patients with Q wave acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction but without echocardiographic (echo) LVH, showed augmentation of QS deflections in leads V1 and / or V2 , and of R waves in V6. Utiliza...

The aim of this study was to identify potential blood feeding sources of L. (L.) longipalpis specimens from populations in Northeastern Brazil, endemic areas of American Visceral Leishmaniasis (AVL) and its correlation with the transmission of L. (L.) i. chagasi. The ELISA technique was applied using bird, dog, goat, opossum, equine, feline, human, sheep, and rodent antisera to analyze 609 fema...

background: fire and explosion hazards are extremely important in processing units. this study was performed to identify the risk centers, the potential damage caused by fire and explosion, and the days of production cessation in the processing company. materials and methods: the present qualitative case study was conducted using dow’s index in 2015. the fire and explosion hazard index and leve...

The Airbus Visual Line (AVL) project, now deployed on the A380 assembly line, was propelled by the desire to foster collaboration and coordination among aeronautical Final Assembly Line teams while going beyond the simplistic – repressive concept of “andon boards” (Monden, 1993). We introduced an environment composed of large public displays and semi-public interfaces to support this collaborat...
