Opis:
Purpose: Physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) reduction of the triceps surae (TS) muscles during aging suggests a proportional loss of torque among its components: soleus, medial and lateral gastrocnemii. However, direct measurements of muscle forces in vivo are not feasible. The purpose of this paper was to compare, between older and young women, isometric ankle joint torque sharing patterns among TS muscles and tibialis anterior (TA). Methods: An EMG-driven model was used for estimating individual muscle torque contributions to the total plantar flexor torque, during sustained contractions of 10% and 40% of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). Results: Relative individual muscle contributions to the total plantar flexion torque were similar between older and young women groups, for both intensities, increasing from LG, MG to SOL. Muscle strength (muscle torque/body mass) was significantly greater for all TS components in 40% MVC contractions. Increased TA activation was observed in 10% of MVC for older people. Conclusions: Despite the reduced maximum isometric torque and muscle strength, the results suggest small variations of ankle muscle synergies during the aging process.

Opis:
In this paper we present a MOSFET-only implementation of a balun LNA. This LNA is based on the combination of a common-gate and a common-source stage with cancellation of the noise of the common-gate stage. In this circuit, we replace resistors by transistors, to reduce area and cost, and to minimize the effect of process and supply variations and mismatches. In addition, we obtain a higher gain for the same voltage drop. Thus, the LNA gain is optimized and the noise figure (NF) is reduced. We derive equations for the gain, input matching and NF. The performance of this new topology is compared with that of a conventional LNA with resistors. Simulation results with a 130 nm CMOS technology show that we obtain a balun LNA with a peak gain of 20.2 dB (about 2 dB improvement), and a spot NF lower than 2.4 dB. The total power consumption is only 4.8 mW for a bandwidth higher than 6 GHz.

Opis:
A low-voltage RF CMOS receiver front-end and an energy harvesting power circuit for a piezoelectric source are presented as a co-designed solution for a Wireless Sensor Node. A MOSFET-only Wideband balun LNA with noise cancelling and a 0.6 V supply voltage is designed in conjunction with a passive mixer. The passive mixer operates in current mode, allowing a minimal introduction of voltage noise and a good linearity. The receiver front-end reaches a total voltage conversion gain of 31 dB, a 0.1-5.2 GHZ bandwidth, an IIP3 value of -1.35 dBm, and a noise figure inferior to 9 dB. The total power consumption is 1.95 mW. The energy harvesting power circuit consists of an active full bridge cross-coupled rectifier followed by a low-dropout (LDO) regulator, and it is able to guarantee a power output of 6 mW with a regulated output voltage of 0.6 V, for typical vibration patterns.

Opis:
This paper presents a simple circuit technique to reduce gain variability with PVT variations in cascode amplifiers using a body-biasing scheme, while enhancing the overall gain of the amplifier. Simulation results of a standard telescopic-cascode amplifier, in two different nanoscale CMOS technologies (130 nm and 65 nm) show that the proposed compensated circuit amplifier exhibits a (DC) gain variability smaller (below ± 0.5 dB) than the original (uncompensated) circuit, while reaching a gain enhancement of about 3 dB. The required auxiliary biasing circuit dissipates around 5% of the main amplifier circuit.

Opis:
In this paper a wideband MOS quadrature oscillator constituted by two multivibrators is presented. Two different forms of coupling, named here as soft and hard, are investigated. Simulations are performed in a 0.13 žm CMOS technology to obtain the tuning range, the synchronization transients, and the influence of mismatches in timing capacitors and charging currents on synchronization. It is found that hard coupling reduces the quadrature error (about 1°, with 5% mismatches in timing capacitors and charging currents) and results in a low phase-noise (about 2 dB improvement) with respect to soft coupling. Either a single multivibrator or coupled multivibrators can be locked to an external synchronizing harmonic frequency, and the locking range is investigated by simulations. The simulations are done for oscillators covering the WTMS frequency bands.

In this paper we present a MOSFET-only implementation of a wideband Gilbert Cell. The circuit uses a commongate topology for a wideband input match, capable to cover the Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) frequency bands of 600 MHz and 1.4 GHz. In this circuit the load resistors are replaced by transistors in triode region, to reduce area and cost, and minimize the effects of process and supply variations and mismatches. In addition, we obtain a higher gain for the same DC voltage drop, with a reduced impact on the noise figure (NF). The performance of this topology is compared with that of a conventional mixer with load resistors. Simulation results show that a peak gain of 20.6 dB (about 6 dB improvement) and a NF about of 11 dB for the 600 MHz band. The total power consumption is 3.6 mW from a 1.2 V supply.

We present a balun LNA with noise and distortion cancellation using double feedforward. A common-gate and a common-source stage are combined, and their resistive loads are replaced by transistors biased close to saturation to allows low supply voltage, without gain degradation. The proposed feedforward boosts the LNA gain and reduces the noise figure (NF). Simulation results with a 130 nm CMOS technology show that the gain is up to 24 dB and the NF is below 3.2 dB. The total power dissipation is 2.25 mW, leading to an FoM of 6.4 mW-1 with 0.6 V supply.

Opis:
This paper presents our research and development work on new circuits and topologies based on Magnetic RAM for use as configuration memory elements of reconfigurable arrays. MRAM provides non volatility with cell areas and with access speeds comparable to those of SRAM and with lower process complexity than FLASH memories. The new memory cells take advantage of the Thermal Assisted Switching (TAS) writing technique to solve the drawbacks of the more common Field Induced Magnetic Switching writing technique. The CMOS circuit structures to implement the main components for reading and writing the MTJ cells have been developed, characterized and evaluated. A scaled down prototype of a coarse grain reconfigurable array that employs the TAS-MRAM elements as configuration memory has been designed and electrically simulated pre- and post- layout. The results obtained for all the circuit elements, namely the storage cells and the current generators, indicate that the new configuration memory cells can provide a very promising technological solution for run-time reconfigurable hardware devices. The prototype has been manufactured using a standard process 0.35μm 4-Metal CMOS process technology and should be under test in the foreseeable future.

Opis:
Tanystropheidae is a clade of early archosauromorphs with a reported distribution ranging from the Early to the Late Triassic of Asia, Europe, and North America. Although some specimens with possible tanystropheid affinities from the Lower Triassic beds of Brazil have been previously attributed to “Protorosauria”, little is known about the tanystropheid record in Gondwana. Here, two new and one previously reported specimen from the Sanga do Cabral Formation (Induan–Olenekian) of Brazil are described and interpreted as ?Tanystropheidae. These records, together with other tetrapods previously reported for the Sanga do Cabral Formation, increase the knowledge of the biotic diversification during the beginning of the Triassic. This contribution reinforces that the archosauromorph diversification occurred shortly after the Permo-Triassic extinction, making the Sanga do Cabral Formation an important unit for the study of early Mesozoic faunas.

Opis:
Non-mammalian cynodonts provide insights on several points about mammalian evolution, such as the postural change and locomotory advances within the group. Unfortunately, complete skeletons of Triassic cynodonts are rather uncommon and where more complete specimens are found they can offer a global vision on some traits not available from partial specimens. This is the case of the cynodont Trucidocynodon riograndensis, from the Triassic of Brazil, that has preserved its forelimbs providing some insights into locomotory properties. The movements between interclavicle and clavicle must have been limited, as such as those occurring between the latter and the scapulocoracoid although the long acromion process of this should have permitted a greater degree of freedom. Some of the more significant movements were those on the shoulder joint, in which the maximum adduction should have been ca. 35º relative to the parasagittal plane and the greater abduction ca. 55º. The maximum adduction occurred when the humerus was in the more retracted position during stride and the variation in the adduction/abduction should have been significant to the limb posture during its recovery stroke. The long olecranon and the distal overlapping between radius and ulna suggest the predominance of simple flexion/extension on the forearm without significant pronation/supination. The poorly preserved hand suggests that Trucidocynodon could have evolved a slight semidigitigrad condition in its forelimbs. All these features give to this cynodont an important role in the evolution of the mammalian locomotory properties indicating that some features, such as the possibility of greater humeral adduction, evolved early in cynodont lineage.

Opis:
Staphylococcus is the genus most commonly isolated from bovine mastitis in many countries. It may express several virulence factors including biofilm formation, which may protect the bacterial community from antimicrobials’ action, preventing these compounds from reaching its interior, where they reach subinhibitory concentrations (subMIC). Most biofilm production assays are performed in static conditions, while studies regarding antimicrobial resistance usually do not resemble the udder environment because they are performed at high concentrations. In this study we evaluated the influence of dynamic conditions and media, including Mueller Hinton Broth (MHB) and UHT whole milk (WM), as well as the effect of subMIC concentrations of five different antimicrobial agents on biofilm formation by staphylococci isolated from subclinical mastitis. Results suggest that dynamic conditions and media may influence biofilm formation and revealed that milking simulation may significantly increase biofilm production. Sub- MIC concentrations decrease biofilm formation in MHB but increase in WM, suggesting a protective role of milk against antimicrobial compounds’ action. Therefore, in vitro conditions that simulate the udder environment and in vivo conditions should be included as one of the parameters in evaluation of biofilm producing strains, in order to provide more reliable results.

Opis:
The production of regular and bead-free electrospun polymeric fibres requires an adequate combination of different parameters applied in the experimental setup viz. voltage for electrodeposition, viscosity of the solution, density of the polymeric support, the distance between electrodes and the geometry of the spinneret. Determination of the physical balance of forces on the droplet during fibre production was explored and provides relevant theoretical information about the surface tension and radius of polymeric fibres. Based on these predictions, we prepared polymeric electropun fibres of poly (vinyl alcohol), poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) and Eudragit® L100 in order to analyse non-conventional physical properties of experimental systems such as droplet stiffness and their influence on the diameter of resulting fibres.
Produkcja za pomocą elektroprzędzenia regularnych włókien polimerowych, wolnych od zgrubień wymaga dobrania odpowiedniej kombinacji różnych parametrów stanowiska przędącego takich jak np. napięcie między elektrodami, lepkość roztworu przędzalniczego, gęstość, odległość pomiędzy elektrodami i geometria układu przędącego. Badano fizycznie określony balans sił działający na wypychaną kroplę roztworu podczas tworzenia włókna. Badania eksperymentalne dostarczyły odpowiednich teoretycznych informacji o naprężeniu powierzchniowym i średnicy tworzonych włókien polimerowych. W oparciu o uzyskane informacje przygotowano elektroprzędzenie włókien z alkoholu poliwinylowego, alkoholu poliwinylopirolidowego i preparatu Eudragit® L100. Następnie na podstawie wcześniejszych rozważań i uzyskanych wyników eksperymentalnych przeprowadzono analizę wpływu poszczególnych czynników na średnicę otrzymywanych włókien.

Opis:
Electrospinning represents a low cost technique applied in the production of micro- and nano-fibres. The use of poly(vinyl alcohol) as supporting matrix in aqueous solution for fibre deposition introduces important advantages related with drug release (based on the low toxicity of polymer). On the other side, imperfections of resulting fibres (bead formation) represents an impediment to be circumvented. The introduction of non ionic surfactant (triton X-100) circumvents bead formation and improves the homogeneity of fibre, as verified in the analysis of thermal, structural and morphological properties of PVA net. The results indicate that minimal dispersion of triton X-100 in solution (in the order of 1 wt%) affects the circularity of beads, while at 10 wt% a reduction in the defect concentration in the order of five times is verified with a reasonable reduction in the diameter of the remaining defects and improvement in the regularity of fibres.
Elektroprzędzenie jest techniką o niskich kosztach dla produkcji mikro i nano włókien. Zastosowanie PVA dla odkładania się włókien w wodnym roztworze posiada istotne zalety związane z uwalnianiem się leków i niską toksycznością polimeru. Niedoskonałości otrzymanych włókien w postaci zgrubień skłaniają do poszukiwania środków zaradczych. Badania wykazały, że małe ilości Triton X-100 zdyspergowanego w roztworze w ilości ok. 1% wpływają na zaokrąglenie zgrubień, podczas gdy przy 10% uzyskuje się pięciokrotną redukcję ilości defektów i ich zmniejszenie.

Opis:
We provide the first study on the diversity and community of parasites in Astronotus crassipinnis from the lower Amazon River, in Brazil. Of 35 hosts examined, 100% were infected with one or more species of parasites, such as Gussevia asota, Gussevia astronoti, Gussevia rogersi, Posthodiplostomum sp., Contracaecum sp., Gorytocephalus sp. and Dolops longicauda. Gussevia asota, G. astronoti and G. rogersi were dominant, and, in total, 9788 parasites were collected. The richness of parasite species (4.9±0.7), Brillouin diversity (0.46±0.28) and evenness (0.29±0.17) were low. Parasites had aggregated dispersion, parasitism did not affect the host condition factor, and host size did not influence abundance, species richness and parasite diversity. The parasitic fauna was characterized by the presence of few species of parasites with high prevalence and low abundance, specifically the endoparasites, besides dominance of ectoparasites. The presence of endoparasites indicates that the diet of A. crassipinnis consists mostly of mollusks and microcrustaceans. This fish species is an intermediate host for Posthodiplostomum sp., Contracaecum sp. and Gorytocephalus sp., parasites found in larval stage. Finally, the behavior and availability of infective stages, which are intermediate hosts for endoparasites, were factors structuring the communities of endoparasites.

Opis:
Physical scale models have a large range of application in studies of hydraulic works. In port engineering, they can be used to optimize the general layout of terminals, evaluation of protection structures, simulation of vessel maneuvers and investigation of mooring plans for vessels, among several subjects. Once physical modeling allows a high accuracy in the waves and currents representation as well as their interaction with the bottom and the vessels, the studies of mooring systems in coastal and estuarine ports based on physical modeling tests provide greater reliability in comparison with those grounded on distinct types of models. To highlight the importance of this kind of application, this article presents the case study of the Ponta da Madeira Port (PMP), located in the State of Maranhao, Brazil, developed with the support of the 1:170 scale reduced physical model conceived and calibrated for this area. This study analyzed several alternatives to improve the availability of the northern berth of the Pier III of PMP, including new mooring strategies and the construction of a new improvement structure. The results, which concerned on preliminary tests of the mooring lines tensions, evidenced structural intervention could substantially reduce the risk of mooring lines break, indicating that further investigations concerning different layouts for the improvement structure are promising in order to provide an increase of this berth availability.

Purpose. To verify the relationship between stress indicators and the age and years of service of military firefighters from the fire rescue corps of the metropolitan area of the state of Sao Paulo. Methods. Forty military firefighters with the mean age of 37.9 ± 5.4 years, from the 1st, 2nd and 8th fire brigades of the metropolitan area of Sao Paulo participated in this study. All underwent clinical, physical and psychological evaluations to verify the relationship between the age and years of service with the variables of levels of stress (tension, depression, anger, vigor, fatigue, confusion and total stress) on workdays and on days off. Results. On workdays, the mean scores for tension, depression, fatigue and stress were overall higher compared to those on days off. The older the firefighter, the higher the levels of stress, depression, anger and total stress. The more years of service, the greater the depression and anger. Conclusions. The levels of stress were high on workdays. Chronological age and years of service influenced the increase in the scores of stress.

Opis:
Magnesium tetraborate doped with dysprosium (MgB4O7:Dy) is known as a good thermoluminophor for personal dosimetry of gamma ray and X-ray radiation because of its high sensitivity and close tissue equivalence. This material can be produced by different routes. The sintered pastilles of magnesium tetraborate mixed with Tefl on (40%) used in this work were manufactured at the Federal University of Sergipe, Department of Physics by the solid-state synthesis. Magnesium tetraborate was already used for high-dose dosimetry, exhibiting linearity for a wide range of doses. In this work, the authors examined its main characteristics prior to potential use of detectors in everyday dosimetry, comparing this material to a widely used LiF:Mg,Ti phosphor. The following tests infl uencing dosimetric peaks of MgB4O7:Dy were presented: (1) the shape of the glow curves, (2) annealing conditions and post-irradiation annealing and its infl uence for background of the detectors, (3) the choice of the heating rates at the read-out and (4) the threshold dose, that is, the lowest possible dose to be measured. Simil ar tests were performed with LiF:Mg,Ti detectors, produced and widely used in Poland. The results were compared and discussed.

Opis:
Digitaria insularis (sourgrass) is a monocotyledon weed of difficult control and high in- vasive behavior. Atrazine is widely applied in the Americas to control weeds in maize cul- ture, but its efficiency against D. insularis is limited. The incorporation of atrazine into poly(epsilon-caprolactone) nanocapsules increased the herbicidal activity against suscep- tible weeds; however, the potential of this nanoformulation to control atrazine-tolerant weeds including D. insularis has not yet been tested. Here, we evaluated the post-emergent herbicidal activity of nanoatrazine against D. insularis plants during initial developmental stages. The study was carried out in a greenhouse, using pots filled with clay soil. Plants with two or four expanded leaves were treated with conventional or nanoencapsulated at- razine at 50 or 100% of the recommended dosage (1,000 or 2,000 g ∙ ha −1 ), followed by the evaluation of physiological, growth, and control parameters of the plants. Compared with conventional herbicide, both dosages of nanoatrazine induced greater and faster inhibition of D. insularis photosystem II activity at both developmental stages. Atrazine nanoencap- sulation also improved the control of D. insularis plants, especially in the stage with two expanded leaves. In addition, nanoatrazine led to higher decreases of dry weight of four- leaved plants than atrazine. The use of the half-dosage of nanoatrazine was equally or more efficient in affecting most of the evaluated parameters than the conventional formulation at full dosage. Overall, these results suggest that the nanoencapsulation of atrazine potenti- ated its post-emergent herbicidal activity against D. insularis plants at initial developmental stages, favoring the control of this atrazine-tolerant weed.

Opis:
The dental anatomy of Candelariodon barberenai from the Dino donto saurus Assemblage Zone (Pinheiros-Chiniquá Sequence, Santa Maria Supersequence, late Ladinian–early Carnian) of south Brazil, is redescribed. Candelariodon was originally classified as Eucynodontia incertae sedis and our analysis recovered this taxon deeply nested within Probainognathia, as the sister taxon of Potheriodon plus Prozostrodontia. The lower postcanine dentition of Candelariodon has several apomorphies shared with Prozostrodon, Santacruzgnathus, Brasilodon/Brasilitherium, and some basal mammaliaforms (Morganucodon, Megazostrodon), such as a lingual cingulum with discrete cusps e and g and two distinct morphologies in the tooth row. The reinterpretation of Candelariodon as a probainognatian cynodont more derived than Probainognathus and the rich Brazilian fossil record document an important adaptive radiation of non-mammaliaform prozostrodontians and closely related forms prior to the origin of the mammaliaform clade.

Opis:
Sedimentological analysis of the Missão Velha Formation (Araripe Basin, northeast Brazil) is the aim of this paper through detailed facies analysis, architectural elements, depositional systems and paleocurrent data. The main facies recognized were: (i) coarse-grained conglomeratic sandstones, locally pebbly conglomerates, with abundant silicified fossil trunks and several large-to-medium trough cross-stratifications and predominantly lenticular geometry; (ii) lenticular coarse-to-medium sandstones with some granules, abundant silicified fossil wood, and large-to-medium trough cross-stratifications, cut-and fill features and mud drapes on the foresets of cross-strata, (iii) poorly sorted medium-grained sandstones with sparse pebbles and with horizontal stratification, (iv) fine to very fine silty sandstones, laminated, interlayered with (v) decimetric muddy layers with horizontal lamination and climbing-ripple cross-lamination. Nine architectural elements were recognized: CH: Channels, GB: Gravel bars and bed forms, SB: Sand bars and bedforms, SB (p): sand bedform with planar cross-stratification, OF: Overbank flow, DA: Downstream-accretion macroforms, LS: Laminated sandsheet, LA: Lateral-accretion macroforms and FF: Floodplain fines. The lithofacies types and facies associations were interpreted as having been generated by alluvial systems characterized by (i) high energy perennial braided river systems and (ii) ephemeral river systems. Aeolian sand dunes and sand sheets generated by the reworking of braided alluvial deposits can also occur. The paleocurrent measurements show a main dispersion pattern to S, SE and SW, and another to NE/E. These features imply a paleodrainage flowing into the basins of the Recôncavo-Tucano-Jatobá.
