No beneficiamento da mandioca, são identificados desafios como instalações em péssimo estado de conservação e falta aplicação medidas higiênico-sanitárias. Este trabalho teve objetivo avaliar o processo produtivo farinha mandioca uma agroindústria localizada na zona rural Castanhal-PA, propor melhorias acordo com as Boas Práticas Fabricação (BPF). Para isso, foi realizado um checklist BPF, que ...

This paper provides a new method to implement substrate integrated defected ground structure (SIDGS)-based bandpass filter (BPF) with adjustable frequency and controllable bandwidth. Compared previous literature, this implements SIDGS-like resonator capable of tunable in the same plane as slotted line using varactor diode, increasing design flexibility. In addition, solves problem that BPF cons...

This article presented an additively manufactured bandpass filter (BPF) based on a second-order stub-loaded resonator consisting of multimetal layer components. The proposed BPF is fabricated by low-temperature (140°) electronics (AME) solution that can fabricate conductive and dielectric materials simultaneously with multimetal-layer flexible interlayer distance. By reducing the distance, cons...

Mobile communication systems require a narrow-band BPF having low passband loss, high selectivity, small size and flat group delay. Such a filter response can be realized using filter with cross coupling between nonadjacent resonators. Normally this kind of filters is realized using waveguide cavities or dielectric resonators. This paper describes a method for CAD of cross-coupled BPF using min...

Bacillopeptidase F is an extracellular serine protease that is expressed at the beginning of the stationary phase. To study its structure, regulation of expression, and physiological roles, we have cloned and characterized the structural gene (bpf) encoding this protease from Bacillus subtilis. DNA sequence analysis suggests this protease is synthesized as a preproenzyme (Mr = 92,000). Through ...

Few studies have addressed the importance of vascular remodeling in the lung during the development of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis (BPF). For fibroplasia and deposition of extracellular matrix to occur, there must be a geometric increase in neovascularization. We hypothesized that net angiogenesis during the pathogenesis of fibroplasia and deposition of extracellular matrix during BPF ...

Bandpass filters (BPF) may be constructed by cascading lowpass (LP) and highpass (HP) filters. This type of realization is suitable for devices with wide bandwidths but is not convenient for the realization of narrowband BPFs, that is, for bandwidths of less than about 10 percent [1]. This is related to the high degree (number of poles and zeros) needed for the filters to achieve good selectivi...

BACKGROUND The disease course in multiple sclerosis (MS) is influenced by many factors, including age, sex, and sex hormones. Little is known about sex-specific changes in disease course around age 50, which may represent a key biological transition period for reproductive aging. METHODS Male and female subjects with no prior chemotherapy exposure were selected from a prospective MS cohort to...

The occurrence of a bronchopleural fistula (BPF) continues to represent a challenging management problem, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Bronchoscopic closure of BPF with instillation of n-butyl-cyanoacrylate glue is an effective, economical, minimally invasive and safe technique for managing BPFs. We present a case that was successfully treated with this method. *Correspo...

The performance of a high pass filter (HPF) and a band pass filter (BPF) with and without defected ground structure (DGS) was analyzed in this specific work. The Defected ground structure includes rectangular and circular etched shapes in ground plane. Calculation and comparison of the response of both filters was done separately. Parameters of the proposed configuration were calculated at the ...
