Controle de velocidade e tração de rodas independentes para veículos elétricos

This work presents a proposal to replace thetraditional system of traction electric car that usesone electric motor and a mechanical differential, by two electric motors of lower power, controlled byelectronic control low cost. The proposed control isopen loop and uses the technique of Pulse WidthModulation (PWM), discrete and synchronizedaiming to reduce the generation of harmonics. The implementation of two smaller motor one on each wheel-drive distributes the weight of the vehicle, improving the heat exchange of the windings,beyond enable the power components supporting a current of 50% predicted for only one motor . The solution adopted for being open-loop, has a similar behavior to the mechanical differential, where theeffort imposed by the trajectory makes the velocity distribution between the wheels be appropriate tovehicle trajectory

Efeito da ativação física e química do gel clareador na velocidade de penetração do peróxido de hidrogênio: estudo in vitro

This study evaluated the effect of physical and chemical activation on the speed of penetration of hydrogen peroxide bleaching agents present in different concentrations through the enamel and dentin. One hundred and twenty bovine incisors were used, which were obtained enamel/dentin discs of the buccal surface, with 6 mm in diameter. The samples were divided into six groups: G1 - Hydrogen Peroxide Gel 20%, G2 - Hydrogen Peroxide Gel 20% with light activation, G3 - Hydrogen Peroxide Gel 20% with Manganese Gluconate; G4 - Hydrogen Peroxide Gel 35%; G5 - Hydrogen Peroxide Gel 35% with the light activation and G6 - Hydrogen Peroxide Gel 35% with Manganese Gluconate. The specimens were placed in a transparent support on which there was a substance sensitive to hydrogen peroxide immediately below and in contact with the specimen. After the procedures for applying the gel for each group, one video camera was positioned and operated to monitor the time of penetration of peroxide in each specimen. The recording ended after changing the color of the fluid revealed in all specimens and times were noted for comparison. ANOVA analysis showed that concentration and type of activation of bleaching gel significantly influenced the diffusion time of hydrogen peroxide (P 0.05). 35% hydrogen peroxide showed the lowest diffusion times compared to the groups with 20% hydrogen peroxide gel. The light activation of hydrogen peroxide decrease significantly the diffusion time compared to chemical activation. The highest diffusion time was obtained with 20% hydrogen peroxide chemically activated. The diffusion time of hydrogen peroxide was dependent on activation and concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide diffused through dental tissues more quickly

Modulação da velocidade do andar em indivíduos com doença de Parkinson em estágio leve e moderado

A doença de Parkinson (DP) é uma patologia crônica, degenerativa e progressiva acarretada pela perda de neurônios dopaminérgicos da substância negra (parte compacta), localizada nos núcleos da base. Os comprometimentos na marcha estão entre as principais consequências da DP. Entretanto, pouco se conhece sobre o efeito do estágio da doença na modulação da velocidade do andar. Assim, o objetivo do estudo foi verificar como pacientes em diferentes estágios da DP modulam os parâmetros do andar quando requeridos a andar em máxima velocidade. Os participantes do estudo foram indivíduos com DP idiopática em estágio unilateral (entre 1 e 1,5 na Escala de Hoehn & Yahr) e bilateral (entre 2 e 3 na Escala de Hoehn & Yahr). Inicialmente, os participantes foram submetidos a uma avaliação clínica, realizada por um médico neuropsiquiatra, para verificar o acometimento geral e o estágio da doença. Os dados da avaliação clínica foram utilizados para a distribuição dos participantes entre os dois grupos. Em seguida, os participantes foram convidados a andar sobre uma passarela de 10m de comprimento em duas condições experimentais: Velocidade preferida e velocidade máxima. Somente o grupo bilateral não foi capaz de modular o comprimento da passada na condição de velocidade máxima. Os resultados sugerem que a evolução da DP compromete a capacidade dos pacientes em modular a amplitude de movimentos (comprimento da passada) quando são requeridos a andar em velocidade máxima

O mar e as viagens: épico e romance antigo em Galáxias, de Haroldo de Campos

The aim of this paper is to discuss the presence of epic and ancient romance as construction’s mechanism of the poem Galáxias by Haroldo de Campos, whose work was, all of the time, dedicated to both: innovation in poetry forms and rescue of tradition. It is quite important to investigate how epic and ancient narrative elements contribute to the meaning construction of poem Galaxias, written by Campos during thirteen years. This investigation appears to be very challenging because seems to be an opportunity to think about post-modern and post-antique, at the same time, making both instances dialogue. Galáxias seems to be exemplary to show this dialogue between present and past: it is a sea voyage book and a book as sea voyage, not only because the epic and ancient narrative have strong presence in the poem, but also because the poem central theme is the sea voyages – and the book.

Estudo da velocidade de despassivação de aços em estruturas de concreto armado, em meio de cloreto

The aim of the present study was to investigate the corrosion resistance in chloride medium of two cylindrical steel samples from civil construction (CA-50 and CA-60). For this purpose, electrochemical measurements were performed in NaCl solution, 4.0 g/L, naturally aerated. According to electrochemical responses, it was observed an active dissolution process at open circuit potential for both steels. In this comparative study, the differences between CA-50 and CA60 were not significant, since the values of polarization resistance estimated by EIS were the same order of magnitude for both types of steel (oscillating between 200 and 500 Ohm). For all evaluated thicknesses of concrete reinforcement, these values ranged between 2 and 9 kOhm, and the lower value was associated with lower thickness, particularly at 7, 21 and 35 days. When these results were compared with those determined for the CA-60, it was found that the layer of concrete reinforcement provide a protection against corrosion in chloride medium at least ten times larger

Tratamiento de maloclusión classe II división 1 con el aparato de Herbst tipo férula, después del pico de crecimiento puberal

Malocclusion class II-1, is represented by a high prevalence in Brazil, being something common in orthodontic practice. One of the main characteristics of this malocclusion is jaw retrusion, by what many devices of jaw advance are presented in the literature. Being one of them Herbst's device, which is a functional and fixed device created by Emil Herbst (1905) and updated by Hans Pancherz in the decade of 80s.This device is characterized by keeping the jaw advance in a continuous way, while presenting a less active treatment, leading to an immediate aesthetic impact, and the patient cooperation is not required. To improve the anchoring and prevent the collapse of the apparatus was set up last amended version of it by Dr Raveli quoted as Herbst splint. Recent research indicates the use of this device after the peak pubertal growth, creating an appropriate response condylar. The aim of this work is to show the orthodontist a choice of how to use the splint Herbst in Class malocclusions II-1.

Tratamento da classe II divisão 2 com aparelho de Herbst após o pico de crescimento puberal

Patients with Class II division 2 malocclusion and mandibular retrusion have limited treatment options after the growth peak, such as surgical-orthodontic treatment or mandibular advancement devices. Among bite-jumping devices, the Herbst appliance allows greater increase of mandibular growth since it does not require patient compliance and allows continuous use. This case report presents the treatment of a Class II division 2 malocclusion in a patient after growth peak, performed in two stages. The first stage included the upper incisors proclination and overjet increase with multibracket appliance to benefit next stage. The second stage involved mandibular advancement using Herbst appliance aiming to correct the Class II molar relationship. The treatment resulted in a stable occlusion with periodontal health, normal functions and facial aesthetics improvement. Dental and skeletal changes arising from treatment could be assessed by cephalometric analysis and superimposition of pretreatment and post-treatment cephalometric tracings. Antero-posterior discrepancy was corrected by means of dental movement as well as by mandibular growth increment stimulated by the Herbst appliance.

Influência do método de avaliação no diagnóstico da dor muscular de início tardio após corrida em declive

Several methods are used towards delayed onset muscle soreness appraisal. This study's goal was to investigate, amongst three commonly adopted methods, which one would be the most effective (the one that shows higher values) in the quantification of this phenomenon. 10 male subjects, of age 22.8 ± 3.1 years old, weight 80 ± 12.4 kg, height 174 ± 0.07 cm, without recent experience with strength training (lower limbs) and/or running took place in this study. All subjects carried out a muscle damage induction protocol, which consisted of 30 minute downhill running (-16% or -9.09º) at 80% speed compared to their maximum oxygen consumption. Muscle damage determinants such as isometric peak torque, knee joint range of motion and circumference of the medial portion of the thight were measured before, during, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after downhill running. The subjective pain perception was measured simultaneously with the other determinants through three different tests: sitting on and getting up of a chair; climbing and descending from a 45cm step; and self thigh palpation. After going through all subjective pain perception tests, the subjects filled out a visual analog scale with their perception of pain. Muscle damage changes over time were compared through variance analysis (ANOVA) one way for repeated measures. Subjective pain perception values obtained in all three different tests were compared through two way ANOVAs for repeated numbers. The significance level adopted in this study was z ≤ 0.05. The results showed that the step test was the on which better evaluated the delayed onset muscle soreness. No significant differences were found through the ADM and CIR recovery markers. Downhil running determined reduced of PTI (~22.4%). Significant links between pain were obtained for both subjective pain perception tests starting at 24 and 48 hours, where the highest registered average happened in the step test after 48h, with high...
