O objetivo central deste trabalho é o estudo do desempenho do operador deconvolucional WHL na compressão do pulso-fonte sísmico, sob condições especiais de fase não-mínima e da densidade de eventos no traço, como casos advogados para dados reais e processamento em rotina. O método de ataque ao problema construído é centrado no conteúdo da informação da função autocorrelação submetida a diferentes condições: (a) de truncamento e tipo de janelas; (b) das características da fase do operador (se mínima ou não-mínima); (c) da medida de qualidade; (d) do nível de embranquecimento; (e) do ruído presente e da equalização; (f) do balanceamento do traço; (g) dos princípios físicos da propagação expressos e limitados pelo modelo convolutional. Os resultados obtidos são apenas na forma numérica, organizados na forma de álbuns com dificuldades crescentes, e demonstram como o uso de janelas na autocorrelação serve para diagnosticar e melhorar a performance dos operadores. Concluímos que muitas perguntas ainda surgem quando técnicas de deconvolução são aplicadas a seções sísmicas de bacias sedimentares, e que o modelo de Goupillaud é conveniente para simulações e análises devido a sua descrição matemática simples e completa.

Neste trabalho foi desenvolvido um método de solução ao problema inverso para modelos sísmicos compostos por camadas homogêneas e isotrópicas separadas por superfícies suaves, que determina as velocidades intervalares em profundidade e calcula a geometria das interfaces. O tempo de trânsito é expresso como uma função de parâmetros referidos a um sistema de coordenadas fixo no raio central, que é determinada numericamente na superfície superior do modelo. Essa função é posteriormente calculada na interface anterior que limita a camada não conhecida, através de um processo que determina a função característica em profundidade. A partir da função avaliada na interface anterior se calculam sua velocidade intervalar e a geometria da superfície posterior onde tem lugar a reflexão do raio. O procedimento se repete de uma forma recursiva nas camadas mais profundas obtendo assim a solução completa do modelo, não precisando em nenhum passo informação diferente à das camadas superiores. O método foi expresso num algoritmo e se desenvolveram programas de computador, os quais foram testados com dados sintéticos de modelos que representam feições estruturais comuns nas seções geológicas, fornecendo as velocidades em profundidade e permitindo a reconstrução das interfaces. Uma análise de sensibilidade sobre os programas mostrou que a determinação da função característica e a estimação das velocidades intervalares e geometria das interfaces são feitos por métodos considerados estáveis. O intervalo empírico de aplicabilidade das correções dinâmicas hiperbólicas foi tomado como uma estimativa da ordem de magnitude do intervalo válido para a aplicação do método.

The tire inflation pressure, among other factors, determines the efficiency in which a tractor can exert traction. It was studied the effect of using two tire inflation pressures, 110.4 kPa in the front and rear wheels, 124.2 kPa in the front wheel and 138 kPa in the rear wheels, the energetic efficiency of an agricultural tractor of 147 kW of engine power, in the displacement speed of 6.0 km.h-1, on track with firm surface, with the tractor engine speed of 2000 rpm. For each condition of the tire pressure, the tested tractor was subjected to constant forces in the drawbar of 45 kN and 50 kN, covering 30 meters. It was used a randomized complete block with a 2x2 factorial arrangement (tire pressure and drawbar power) with four replications, totaling 16 experimental units. Data were subjected to analysis of variance, using the Tukey test at 5% probability for comparison averages. The lowest hourly and specific fuel consumption, the lowest slippage of the wheelsets and the highest efficiency in the drawbar was obtained with the tire inflation pressure of 110.4 kPa in the front and rear tires of the tractor, highlighting that lower pressures improve energetic and operational performance of the tractor.

In a recent paper, the partition function (character) of ten-dimensional pure spinor worldsheet variables was calculated explicitly up to the fifth mass-level. In this letter, we propose a novel application of Padé approximants as a tool for computing the character of pure spinors. We get results up to the twelfth mass-level. This work is a first step towards an explicit construction of the complete pure spinor partition function.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) presents changes in posture and movement as a core characteristic, which requires therapeutic monitoring during the habilitation or rehabilitation of children. Besides clinical treatment, it is fundamental that professionals use systems of evaluation to quantify the difficulties presented to the individual and assist in the organization of a therapeutic program. The aim of this study was to quantitatively verify the performance of children with spastic di-paresia type CP. Methods: The Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFM) tests were used and classification made through the GMFCS in the assessment of 7 patients with CP, 4 females and 3 males, average age of 9 years old. Results: According to GMFCS scales, 17% (n=1) were level II and 83% (n=6) were level III. The PEDI test and 88 GMFM items were used in the area of mobility. We observed that there was high correlation between mobility and gross motor function with Pearson's correlation coefficient =0.929) showing the likely impact of these areas in the functional skills and the quality of life of these patients. Conclusion: We suggest the impact of the limitation of the areas in functional skills and quality of life of these patients.

Objective. To define inactive disease (ID) and clinical remission (CR) and to delineate variables that can be used to measure ID/CR in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE). Methods. Delphi questionnaires were sent to an international group of pediatric rheumatologists. Respondents provided information about variables to be used in future algorithms to measure ID/CR. The usefulness of these variables was assessed in 35 children with ID and 31 children with minimally active lupus (MAL). Results. While ID reflects cSLE status at a specific point in time, CR requires the presence of ID for >6 months and considers treatment. There was consensus that patients in ID/CR can have <2 mild nonlimiting symptoms (i.e., fatigue, arthralgia, headaches, or myalgia) but not Raynaud's phenomenon, chest pain, or objective physical signs of cSLE; antinuclear antibody positivity and erythrocyte sedimentation rate elevation can be present. Complete blood count, renal function testing, and complement C3 all must be within the normal range. Based on consensus, only damage-related laboratory or clinical findings of cSLE are permissible with ID. The above parameters were suitable to differentiate children with ID/CR from those with MAL (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve >0.85). Disease activity scores with or without the physician global assessment of disease activity and patient symptoms were well suited to differentiate children with ID from those with MAL. Conclusion. Consensus has been reached on common definitions of ID/CR with cSLE and relevant patient characteristics with ID/CR. Further studies must assess the usefulness of the data-driven candidate criteria for ID in cSLE.

Distances walked in walking tests are important functional markers, although they are not accepted as defining characteristics of Ineffective Peripheral Tissue Perfusion. The aims of this study were to verify the distances participants with and without this nursing diagnosis walked in the six-minute walk test and if these measures may be considered defining characteristics of this phenomenon. Participants with (group A; n=65) and without (group B; n=17) this nursing diagnosis were evaluated regarding physical examination, vascular function and functional capacity. Participants of group A seemed to have worse vascular function and functional capacity compared with those of group B. Pain-free travelled distance was predictive of the nursing diagnosis. These results are important for the refinement of this diagnosis. In conclusion, this study provides evidences that the distances walked in the six-minute walk test may be considered defining characteristics of Ineffective Peripheral Tissue Perfusion.
