Using titanium as the base metal of biomaterials has gained attention due to its excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion and wear. In this research, Ti6-Al7-Nb (wt%) alloy has been superficially modified by cationic cathode plasma nitration (CCN) in order to improve the pre-existing biocompatible characteristics in the alloy. Four treatment conditions and a standard sample, for comparative purposes, were chosen. Nitriding was implemented using a cathodic cage technique at a different time and temperature conditions, and at constant pressure.

In large number of engineering tasks, heat transfer takes place over time, i.e., physical bodies are in non-stationary (transient) conditions.We will use an implicit numerical method for calculating the temperatures at fixed time intervals for certain nodes of the studied body.

O objetivo dessa Temperature control in computers, mobile devices and other devices is important for their stability. The finite differences method is used to calculate the temperatures in fixed nodes of devices, in the absence of internal heat dissipation and certain boundary conditions of the inner walls.

Background: The femoral artery has been the standard access route for several decades. However, this access route has been associated with increased rates of vascular complications compared to the radial artery access route. The objectives of this study were to describe vascular complications at femoral access site after puncture without transfixation of the artery. Methods: This a was real-world registry (from January 2017 to August 2019) that enrolled 1000 patients (mean age 56±10years) with stable CAD and clinical indication of coronary angiography.

O objetivo da presente pesquisa é analisar a relação do Burnout no trabalho feminino no âmbito da pandemia no Brasil. A pandemia tem feito as pessoas trabalharem mais, seja presencial ou remotamente, e isso, somado ao medo do desemprego, da covid-19 e da cobrança por produtividade, pode levar à exaustão mental. Neste momento, em que as condições de trabalho especiais que a pandemia tem nos obrigando faz com que essas sensações, esses sintomas, esse Burnout aumente.

O Acolhimento com Classificação de Risco às gestantes necessita de uma atenção qualificada as particularidades destas e requer uma escuta qualificada e investigações minuciosas às queixas apresentadas, assim, o profissional mais indicado à função é o enfermeiro, uma vez que sua formação é extremamente interdisciplinar. Objetivo: compreender os conflitos éticos na tomada de decisão dos enfermeiros no acolhimento com classificação de risco às gestantes.

The development of simulation models, that realistically represent the regulatory/ commercial environment in which the company is inserted, is necessary for it to understand the behavior of some variables needed for decision making.

Brazil is the largest producer of passion fruit in the world. However, production in the state of Mato Grosso is one of the lowest in the country and this is due mainly to the lack of genetically enhanced cultivars suitable for growing in the region. This study aimed to compare the performance of five commercial cultivars of Passiflora edulis Sims grown under the specific environmental conditions of Cáceres, a leading fruit production hub in Mato Grosso. The experiment was of a randomized block design with a 3 x 3 m configuration and comprised five P.

This work presents a tool developed to assist decision making for maintenance and replacement of assets based on the determination of priority equipment in a renovation plan. Different data sources and multi-criteria evaluation were used in an integrated way, focusing on individual distribution substation equipment.

Many activities can cause significant environmental impacts on the environment. A large part of the thermoelectric plants uses fossil fuels to generate energy, but they can also release greenhouse gases into the environment. Given this scenario, it is essential to have an effective environmental management system for monitoring risks within a plant.
