Prediction of Ionic Liquids Properties through Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Ionic liquids (ILs) are a new generation of molten salts possessing unique physical and chemical properties, which have gained attention from the academic and industries researchers. The design of new products and processes requires the knowledge of transport and thermophysical properties, yet, due to the large number of potential ILs, their characterization by experimental means alone is not feasible. Computer simulations are being used with success for the prediction of structures and properties of many different molecular systems. Among different computational approaches, molecular dynamics simulation (MD) has proved to be capable of providing a good understanding at the molecular level of how the structure and properties of ILs are related. - See more at: http://www.eurekaselect.com/118935/article#sthash.VDpluw1J.dpu

O exame colpocitológico sob a ótica da mulher que o vivencia El examen colpocitológico desde la óptica de la mujer que lo vivencia The smear test under the point of view of the woman who has experienced it in her life

Esta pesquisa é fruto de minha experiência com mulheres no Programa de Prevenção do Câncer Cérvico-uterino do Ambulatório de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia do Hospital das Clínicas da UFMG. Busquei compreender o que significa para as mulheres se submeterem ao exame colpocitológico. Para tal, utilizei-me da pesquisa qualitativa, numa abordagem fenomenológica. Para coletar os dados foi utilizada uma entrevista aberta. A análise dos discursos das onze mulheres entrevistadas possibilitou-me construir três categorias analíticas: A- Prevenindo o câncer cérvico-uterino: a mulher como ser-consciente-no-mundo; B- Enfrentando o exame colpocitológico: manifestações do existir; C- Interagindo com o profissional de saúde durante o exame: as interfaces da assistência.<br>Esta investigación es fruto de mi experiencia con mujeres en el Programa de Prevención de Cáncer Cérvico-uterino del Consultorio externo de Ginecología y Obstetricia del Hospital de Clinicas de la UFMG. Quería comprender lo que significa para las mujeres someterse al examen colpocitológico. Para tal fin, utilicé el método de investigación cualitativo con abordaje fenomenológico. Para la recolección de datos fue utilizada la entrevista con preguntas abiertas. El análisis de los discursos de once mujeres entrevistadas me permitió construir tres categorías analíticas: A- Previniendo el cáncer cérvico-uterino: la mujer como ser conciente del mundo; B- Enfrentando el examen colpocitológico: manifestaciones del existir; C- Interactuando con el profesional de salud durante el examen: las interfases de la asistencia.<br>This research is the result of my experience with women in cervical cancer prevention at the Gynecology and Obstetrics National Health Clinic of the Federal University of Minas Gerais. I tried to understand what it means to women who are submitted to a smear test. To achieve this, I have used a qualitative research, in a phenomenological approach. I gathered the data from interviews about the main subject. The analysis of those eleven interviews have helped me to build three analytical categories that are the located structure of the phenomenon, as follows: A- The preventive cervical cancer examination: a woman as a human being conscious of the world; B- Facing the smear test: manifestation of the existence; C- Working with the health professional during the examination: as interfaces of the attendance
