This study aimed to develop a computer program which systematizes the structural shielding design calculation in diagnostic radiology facilities. For this purpose methodology of the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP 147[5]) was used. By comparative statistics studies, it was verified if reference parameters values suggested by the US publication correspond to the average national values. The World Wide Web was chosen because of its characteristics as a powerful mean of communication, especially in terms of the wide variety of useful resources and easy access. To compare the reference values of some parameters proposed by NCRP 147 to Brazilian average, studies about the normalized workload per patient, performance of X-ray tube and primary air kerma, unshielded, at one meter from the focal point of the X-ray tube were made. Through this research, relative differences were found. In workload values this differences reached up to 50% in mammography compared to those presented by the NCRP 147; in X-ray tube performance the percentage differences reached 69% in dental radiology, and air kerma results amounted 31% in fluoroscopy. This demonstrates the importance of validation of international protocols to local realities

Liquid-liquid extraction is utilized for purification of biomolecules by Aqueous Biphasic Systems (ABS), since this process does not damage the biotechnological potential of these compounds. In this work, using the free software Scilab®, the fractionated liquid-liquid extraction was studied aiming a lipase (target enzyme) partition in a water + PEG + DEX system. Lisozime was considered as contaminant. As computer simulations has been extensively used when a first estimation of technical feasibility of process is desired, this work demonstred that the system is viable for recovery the 80 % till 90 % the target enzyme, but should be noted that the trial aimed only the fractionation of the enzyme target of a contaminant, not its concentration, which should be done by another process.

The use of computational grid simulators is particularly important for studying the algorithms of task scheduling. Through the simulators it’s possible to assess and compare the performance of different algorithms in various scenarios. Despite the simulation tools provide basic features for simulation in distributed environments, they don’t offer internal policies of task scheduling, so that the implementation of the algorithms must be realized by the user himself. Therefore, this study aims to present the library of task scheduling LIBTS (LIBrary Tasks Scheduling) which is developed and adapted to the SimGrid simulator to provide the users with a tool to analyze the algorithms of task scheduling in the computational grid.

This paper considers a study of the anatomical features of the cardiac system and a three-dimensional model of the different tunics that comprise the heart wall, for processing and quality control of radiological images. The structures are built by the layer overlapping method, where a layer can be understood as a slice of the three-dimensional object. The pericardium, myocardium and endocardium were represented with three-dimensional cylinders and hexagons. The spatial arrangement of the cardiac system is determined by an background image of a real model, which values are defined according to the shape of the region and on the anatomical patients characteristics. The results are significant, considering the anatomical structures details, as well as the representation of the thicknesses of the regions of the heart wall. The validation of the anatomical model was accomplished through comparisons with dimensions obtained from a real model and allows verifying that the model is appropriate. The degree of representation will allow the verification of the influence of radiological parameters, morphometric peculiarities and stage of the diseases on the quality of the images, as well as on the performance of the Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD).

A utilização de pistas hápticas para a estabilização da postura através do toque vem sendo apontada como uma eficiente fonte de informação sensorial que conecta o indivíduo ao meio. Dessa forma, o paradigma do toque leve (i.e., tocar uma superfície com força inferior a 1 Newton) é uma das possibilidades de, através do contato com determinada superfície, atenuar as oscilações do indivíduo. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a eficiência do toque leve em tarefas de alta complexidade ao equilíbrio e, concomitantemente, analisar a relação entre percepção háptica e controle da postura. Para isso, 15 adultos jovens saudáveis participaram deste estudo, permanecendo em pé na posição tandem sobre uma plataforma de força e-nas condições pertinentes-sobre uma trave de equilíbrio. As condições deste estudo variaram entre a utilização ou não do toque, a utilização ou não da visão, e ainda, permanecer em pé sobre uma superfície de altura normal (0 cm) ou uma superfície com elevação (20 cm). Através da análise estatística avaliamos as variáveis amplitude média de oscilação (ântero-posterior e mediolateral), velocidade média (ântero-posterior e medio-lateral) e a trajetória total. Nossos resultados demonstraram, como já era esperado, um aumento significativo da oscilação corporal nas condições sem toque e sem a utilização da visão, e ainda maior quando houve elevação da superfície de apoio dos pés. Entretanto, quando o toque leve foi utilizado nessas mesmas condições houve uma redução significativa da oscilação postural dos indivíduos. Dessa forma, concluímos que mesmo em tarefas de alta instabilidade ao equilíbrio, o toque leve continua auxiliando no controle da postura
