2. Assessment of thermal comfort in workstations located near highly glazed façades: solar-adjustment models
Resumo Embora a exposição à radiação solar tenha forte impacto no conforto das pessoas, estações de trabalho são frequentemente posicionadas junto às janelas. Modelos de ajuste solar vêm sendo desenvolvidos para incluir o impacto da radiação solar no conforto térmico, o que não é abordado nos modelos de Fanger e Adaptativo. Entretanto, esses m

3. X-ray line profile analysis and magnetic and optical properties of FexZn0.95-xCr0.05O nanoparticles fabricated by sol-gel route
Abstract FexZn0.95-xCr0.05O nanoparticles have been obtained for the different concentrations of Fe ions by using the sol-gel method. The hexagonal wurtzite structure of all the samples was confirmed by Rietveld refined X-ray diffraction patterns. The addition of Fe ions decreased lattice constants a and c from 3.2487 to 3.2474 Å and 5.2043 to 5.2029 Å, re

4. A Nodal-iterative Technique for Criticality Calculations in Multigroup Neutron Diffusion Models
ABSTRACT In this work, a nodal and iterative technique to evaluate the effective multiplication factor as well as the neutron flux, in multigroup diffusion problems, is presented. An iterative scheme, similar to the source iteration method, is implemented to decouple the system of differential equations which is the fundamental mathematical model. Then, anal

5. Mathematical modeling of whey foam mat drying
ABSTRACT This study aimed to fit mathematical models to whey foam drying processes in different air temperature conditions, to determine the effective diffusion coefficient and to obtain the activation energy. For foam formation, 5.0% Emustab® was added to the serum in mass and subjected to stirring in a domestic shaker for 15 min. After, it was spread onto

6. MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR ESTIMATING METHANE PRODUCTION IN COVERED LAGOON BIODIGESTERS TREATING PIG MANURE
ABSTRACT Covered lagoon biodigesters (CLB) have been widespread in Brazil in the treatment of pig manure. However, the quantification of biogas production in CLB using mathematical models is still limited and scarce. This study aimed to evaluate and compare six mathematical models—Chen-Hashimoto (Chen, 1983), CETESB (2006), COD Conversion (Chernicharo, 201

7. Adsorption of Calcium(II), Cadmium(II) and Copper(II) Ions from Water by Prepared Silicon-Aluminum-Zirconium Oxide Using Sol-Gel Process
Ternary oxide silica-alumina-zirconia (SiO2/Al2O3/ZrO2) obtained by the sol-gel process was applied as novel adsorbent of ions in aqueous solution. Batch isotherms were performed using standard CuII, CdII and CaII solutions at variable pH and different concentrations. Adsorption capacity was best at weakly acidic pH. The maximum adsorption capacities were 2.

8. Performance evaluation of GSA, SOS, ABC and ANN algorithms on linear and quadratic modelling of eggplant drying kinetic
Abstract In this study, kinetics of eggplant drying was modeled in the laboratory-scaled Food Drying Oven (FDO) with resistance heater was designed and manufactured. The temperature, energy consumption and drying time of FDO were recorded by keeping the temperature of at different temperatures as 40, 50 and 60 °C. These saved values were chosen as the input

9. Hopfield Neural Network-Based Algorithm Applied to Differential Scanning Calorimetry Data for Kinetic Studies in Polymorphic Conversion
A general kinetic equation to simulate differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data was employed along this work. Random noises are used to generate a thousand data, which are considered to evaluate the performance of Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) and a Hopfield neural network (HNN) based algorithm in the fitting process. The HNN-based algorithm showed better res

10. Impact of physical activity during weekdays and weekends on fat mass among adults: 12-month cohort study
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) practices seem to differ between weekdays and weekends and these pattern changes can affect body fat differently. However, previous studies did not assess the mediation effect of weekday and weekend PA on maintenance of body fat using sophisticated statistical models. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the mediation effect

11. Efficiency of electricity distribution companies
Abstract Purpose After assessing papers on efficiency, most of the studies available are focused on the analysis of efficiency measures, without providing a deep discussion of the factors that determine efficiency. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of Brazilian electricity distribution companies based on a structural model that enables the identifi

12. THE ROLE OF CHAR FORMATION IN EQUILIBRIUM MODELING OF GASIFICATION PROCESSES
ABSTRACT This work aims to develop and validate a model based on chemical equilibrium to predict the composition of syngas produced by gasification of woody biomass (sawdust). The model uses Gibbs Energy minimization to evaluate the composition of the system in chemical equilibrium. The results are validated by comparison between experimental data from a gas
