An experimental study in dogs was accomplished to evaluate impedances at the acupuncture points and the relative false points. According to the physics concepts and the Ohm’ Law, an electrical circuit was set up to determine the impedance. This circuit was introduced into three experiments in anesthetized dogs with needles at selected points. In the first two experiments, was applied an alternating tension with 200Hz frequency in the circuit and, in the last experiment, the frequency was increased to 10kHz, the tensions and electrical currents were measured between every pair of points for the all experiments. The impedances were calculated with the values obtained by experiments. The analysis of impedance values indicated that there is a coherent relation between the results and the applied frequencies in circuit, so just at high frequency condition admits the correct measurement of total impedance, therefore the last experiment gave the result which agreed with the theory, that the impedances at acupuncture points are lower than the impedances at false points

O câncer é uma doença que tem início quando ocorre uma mutação genética no DNA da célula, onde o mecanismo de controle do crescimento normal do tecido celular é alterado. O tratamento do câncer por radioterapia tem como objetivo a eliminação das células cancerígenas ou alívio dos sintomas. Este trabalho visa estudar conceitos envolvidos no planejamento do tratamento de câncer por radioterapia, o modelo de programação linear, os métodos Primal-Dual-Afim-Escala e Primal-Dual-Clássico e apresentar uma aplicação dos métodos para problemas gerais de otimização

This study evaluated the fatigue limit (FL) by the staircase method and the effect of mechanical cycling on the flexural strength (FS) of Duceragold feldspathic porcelain. Specimens (25 x 5 x 2 mm) were made according to manufacturer’s directions and submitted to three-point flexural strength test (n = 10). To determine FL (n = 30; 10,000 cycles; 2 Hz), an initial loading of 60% of the FS and an incremental loading (step) of 3% of the FS were used. Data were analyzed by Anova and Tukey´s test (p < 0.05). Although the proposed cycles have not reduced FS significantly, fractography analysis showed striation, characteristic signs of mechanical fatigue.

Hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) is one of the main tools currently used to ensure safety, quality and integrity of foods. So, the aim of this study was to develop and implement the HACCP program in the processing of pasteurized grade A milk Checklists were used to assess on the level of the pre requisites programs and on the sanitary classification of the dairy industry and the results were used as references for the development of the HACCP system. A "decision tree" protocol was used for the identification of the critical control points (CCP). No physical or chemical CCP were identified, whereas pasteurization and packaging were considered biological CCP For these CCP, the limits for prevention, monitoring needs, corrective actions, critical limits and verification procedures were established. The pre requisites program was essential for the establishment of the system. The implementation of the HACCP for the processing of grade A pasteurized milk was efficient to control the biological hazards and enabled the product to comply with the legislation specifications and achieve safety.

We investigate in this work the behaviour of the decay to the fixed points, in particular along the bifurcations, for a family of one-dimensional logistic-like discrete mappings. We start with the logistic map focusing in the transcritical bifurcation. Next we investigate the convergence to the stationary state at the cubic map. At the end we generalise the procedure for a mapping of the logistic-like type. Near the fixed point, the dynamical variable varies slowly. This property allows us to approximate/rewrite the equation of differences, hence natural from discrete mappings, into an ordinary differential equation. We then solve such equation which furnishes the evolution towards the stationary state. Our numerical simulations confirm the theoretical results validating the above mentioned approximation

Este artigo traz os resultados obtidos através do estudo e da aplicação do Método Primal-Dual Previsor-Corretor de Pontos Interiores para Problema de Programação Quadr´atica convexa a um Problema de Despacho Econômico (PDE) e a um Problema Multiobjetivo de Despacho Econômico e Ambiental (DEA). O primeiro problema busca determinar a solução ótima aproximada, minimizando os custos dos combustíveis empregados na geração termoelétrica de energia e satisfazendo as restrições operacionais. Já o segundo é solucionado através do Método da Soma Ponderada, que apresenta um balanceamento entre o problema de otimização dos custos e o problema de emissão de poluentes. Ao final do artigo, um algoritmo para cada problema é proposto e implementado computacionalmente utilizando o software Borland C++ Builder 6.0. Os testes foram realizados utilizando um PDE de 13 geradores e um DEA de 06 geradores e os resultados obtidos demonstram a eficiˆencia dos m´etodos quando comparados a outros encontrados na literatura.
