Crack Sealing Utilizing a Heat Lance, HR-2058, 1997

Four Iowa DOT asphalt concrete pavement crack sealing projects were selected to evaluate the benefits of heat lance crack preparation. Two, one-half mile sections, both with and without heat lance preparation, were constructed in Story, Monroe, Clinton and Wayne Counties in 1991 and 1992. They were visually evaluated annually from 1992 through 1996. The heat lance preparation did not yield improved seal performance or extended longevity. There was no perceivable difference between crack sealing with and without heat lance preparation.

Evaluation of Deterioration on US 20 in Webster County, MLR-91-1, 1991

Ten miles of U.S. Highway 20 in Webster County began to show deterioration in 1990. Any deterioration was unexpected, since the road was just constructed in 1986 and 1987. The deterioration looked much like the staining and cracking of D-cracking. Cracking was found on 391 joints throughout the 10 mile four lane divided highway. Evaluation of cores from the project reveal low air contents at those locations where cracking is occurring. The cause of the low air contents can only be speculated on. A possible cause may be the vibration from the paver coupled with the additional vibration at the joints. Other projects constructed in 1986 and 1987 with the same equipment show no signs of distress.

Variations of Tine Texturing of PCC Pavement, MLR-93-4, 1996

Seven experimental texture sections were constructed on the Polk-Jasper RP-163-1(50)--16--77 project just east of Des Moines. The experimental sections included two groove depths for a longitudinal tine texture and 13 mm (1/2 in.), 19 mm (1 in.) and variable spaced transverse tine textures. An artificial turf textured section was also included. Friction values and a rating of objectionable noise were determined for all sections. All transverse tine textures generated a high level of objectionable noise. The longitudinal tine texture was rated very good in regard to objectionable noise. At this time, all tined textures are providing satisfactory friction values.

Teor de óleo e de proteína em genótipos de soja desenvolvidos após 1990

O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar se as cultivares de soja lançadas após 1990 para o Estado do Rio Grande do Sul continham, nos grãos, teores de proteína e de óleo diferentes dos contidos nos grãos das cultivares em uso anteriormente a esse ano. Na safra de 1996/97, foi realizado um estudo envolvendo genótipos produzidos em três locais do Rio Grande do Sul. O teor de óleo foi determinado pelo método de Soxlet, e o de proteína, pelo método de Kjeldahl. A maior parte das cultivares lançadas entre 1991 e 1996 apresentou menor teor de proteína e maior teor de óleo do que as mais antigas. A utilização das cultivares União e Industrial como genitores deve ter contribuído para o menor teor de proteína apresentado pelas cultivares. As linhagens experimentais apresentaram teor de proteína tão elevado quanto o das cultivares em cultivo desde antes de 1990, o que pode ter sido causado pela mudança de genitores. As correlações fenotípicas indicaram que existe uma associação negativa significativa somente entre os teores de óleo e de proteína.

Actualización en Odontopediatría 1996

En el presente trabajo se analizan las publicaciones relacionadas con la odontopediatría aparecidas durante el año 1996. Debido a la gran cantidad de artículos publicados, éstos se han distribuido en cinco distintos apartados: 1 . Manejo de la conducta, 2. Operatoria dental, 3. Pulpa, 4. Traumatismos, y S. Miscelánea.

¿Se puede planificar cuantos dentistas necesitamos? Analisis de las tendencias de los recursos humanos y la utilizacion de servicios dentales (Cataluña 1991-2008)

Fundamento: Este estudio evidencia las dificultades de planificar recursos humanos en odontología analizando las variables que actúan en la demanda-oferta de servicios en un escenario de: baja utilización de servicios, baja patología y provisión de servicios principalmente privada. Material y Método: Los datos de utilización de servicios (visitas;año) se obtuvieron a partir de la Encuesta de Salud de Cataluña (1994-2006) y la Encuesta Nacional de Salud (1987-2006). La demografía profesional se obtuvo de censos colegiales. Resultados: Cataluña aumentaba 76 colegiados/año en los ochenta, 123 colegiados/año en los noventa y 287 colegiados/año en el período 2005-2008 asociándose a la aperturade facultades de odontología y la inmigración de profesionales con diplomas extranjeros (34,5% dedentistas en 2004). La demanda de ingreso a odontología es elevada y la inserción laboral excelente. La epidemiología de caries muestra una disminución continua (CAOD 12 años=0,73 en 2006) aunque los niveles de visita al dentista se encuentran entre los más bajos de la UE. Según la Encuesta de Salud de Cataluña un 31,5% de los hombres y un 38,1% de las mujeres había visitado un dentista el último año. Conclusiones: Es necesario aplicar nuevas políticas de planificación de recursos humanos y estrategiaspara minimizar las barreras de acceso a los servicios odontológicos en una situación de desequilibrio oferta-demanda.
