The 12 prophets dataset

The "Ajeijadinho 3D" project is an initiative supported by the University of S\~ao Paulo (Museum of Science and Dean of Culture and Extension), which involves the 3D digitization of art works of Brazilian sculptor Antonio Francisco Lisboa, better known as Aleijadinho. The project made use of advanced acquisition and processing of 3D meshes for preservation and dissemination of the cultural heritage. The dissemination occurs through a Web portal, so that the population has the opportunity to meet the art works in detail using 3D visualization and interaction. The portal address is http://www.aleijadinho3d.icmc.usp.br. The 3D acquisitions were conducted over a week at the end of July 2013 in the cities of Ouro Preto, MG, Brazil and Congonhas do Campo, MG, Brazil. The scanning was done with a special equipment supplied by company Leica Geosystems, which allowed the work to take place at distances between 10 and 30 meters, defining a non-invasive procedure, simplified logistics, and without the need for preparation or isolation of the sites. In Ouro Preto, we digitized the churches of Francisco of Assis, Our Lady of Carmo, and Our Lady of Mercy; in Congonhas do Campo we scanned the entire Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Matosinhos and his 12 prophets. Once scanned, the art works went through a long process of preparation, which required careful handling of meshes done by experts from the University of S\~ao Paulo in partnership with company Imprimate.Comment: Full dataset online at http://aleijadinho3d.icmc.usp.br/data.htm

Frequency independent patterns from double shell lenses fed by leaky wave feeders

This work aims at designing a wideband leaky lens antenna capable of providing frequency independent patterns over a wide frequency band of operation, about one octave, using connected array of leaky slots as lens feeder in presence of a double shell lens. In addition to on-axis feeding, offset feeding is also studied in order to increase the scanning performance of the antenna system within the proposed frequency band of operation. Improvement in terms of pattern stability and scan loss have been demonstrated in the paper.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Functional response of Telenomus remus Nixon (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) to Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) eggs: effect of female age.

Resposta funcional de Telenomus remus Nixon (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) sobre ovos de Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae): efeito da idade da fêmea. A resposta funcional de fêmeas de Telenomus remus com 24 h e 48 h de idade foi observada em ovos de Spodoptera frugiperda. O experimento foi conduzido em câmara climatizada regulada a 25 ± 1°C, 70 ± 10% UR e fotofase de 12h. As fêmeas de T. remus foram alimentadas com mel e mantidas individualmente por 24h em tubos de vidro que continham 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250 ou 300 ovos de S. frugiperda. Foi adotado o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado com 10 repetições. Os parâmetros avaliados para a construção da curva de resposta funcional foram o parasitismo médio diário, a taxa de busca e o tempo de oviposição. Foi observado que com o aumento da densidade de ovos também cresce o parasitismo em fêmeas com 24 h e 48 h de idade e que há uma tendência de estabilização do parasitismo na densidade de 150 ovos/fêmea. Os resultados mostraram uma curva de resposta funcional do tipo II para fêmeas de T. remus com 24 h e 48 h de idade

Parameter estimation of a pulp digester model with derivative-free optimization strategies

The work concerns the parameter estimation in the context of the mechanistic modelling of a pulp digester. The problem is cast as a box bounded nonlinear global optimization problem in order to minimize the mismatch between the model outputs with the experimental data observed at a real pulp and paper plant. MCSFilter and Simulated Annealing global optimization methods were used to solve the optimization problem. While the former took longer to converge to the global minimum, the latter terminated faster at a significantly higher value of the objective function and, thus, failed to find the global solution.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Desafios na Institucionalização de Controles Internos da Gestão em um Hospital Universitário Federal

O desafio do gestor de recursos públicos em estabelecer um ambiente favorável à implementação de controles internos na organização é o contexto central deste estudo que, utilizando-se de metodologias de análise qualitativa, buscou investigar como ocorreu a implantação de atividades de controles num hospital universitário federal, no Estado do Espirito Santo, e responder à pergunta de pesquisa: Quais as dificuldades da institucionalização de controles internos na área de saúde pública? . O estudo foi realizado no Hospital Universitário Cassiano Antonio Moraes (HUCAM),utilizando-se técnicas de pesquisa de campo, por meio de entrevistas com um grupo de administradores e profissionais do Hospital. A análise abrange um período de 5 (cinco) anos, de 2013 a 2018, correspondente ao momento de transição, após o estabelecimento do contrato de gestão entre a Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES) e a Empresa Brasileira de Serviços Hospitalares (Ebserh). O objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar os desafios na implementação de controles internos, sob a perspectiva das pessoas participantes desse processo. Tendo como fundamento as teorias institucionais, a pesquisa buscou compreender as dificuldades enfrentadas, assim como os elementos impulsionadores à adoção das práticas de controles no HUCAM, cujas ações são parte do Plano Diretor Estratégico (PDE), elaborado em 2014. Também fundamenta o estudo uma base conceitual sobre controles internos, representada pelo modelo COSO e normativos dos órgãos de controle. As interpretações e resultados indicam diferentes abordagens que podem ser requeridas dos participantes, a depender da etapa do processo de institucionalização. Obteve-se uma visão dos aspectos que podem contribuir para a institucionalização das práticas de controle, tratando-se dos elementos que os entrevistados consideraram impulsionadores do processo e os obstáculos que precisaram ser transpostos, onde se discutiu a adesão consciente versus a imposição por fatores coercitivos. Nas situações analisadas foi possível identificar que o processo caminha entre uma fase de objetivação, na qual os resultados positivos favorecem a aceitação pelos indivíduos, e a fase de sedimentação, que se quer alcançar. Os resultados levam à reflexão sobre a institucionalização como um processo contínuo, que promova um ambiente em que os indivíduos tenham a capacidade de reavaliar as estruturas de controle interno, sempre que necessário, e manter as atividades ajustadas à estratégia da organização e aos principais riscos, considerando ainda as especificidades dos diversos campos profissionais que atuam como agentes institucionais em um hospital de ensino. O resultado obtido oferece um subsídio aos gestores ao planejamento de futuras ações, no sentido de fomentar a adoção de boas práticas de controles internos da gestão.

An effective interface tracking method for simulating the extrudate swell phenomenon

The extrudate swell, i.e., the geometrical modifications that take place when the flowing material leaves the confined flow inside a channel and moves freely without the restrictions that are promoted by the walls, is a relevant phenomenon in several polymer processing techniques. For instance, in profile extrusion, the extrudate cross-section is subjected to a number of distortions that are motivated by the swell, which are very difficult to anticipate, especially for complex geometries. As happens in many industrial processes, numerical modelling might provide useful information to support design tasks, i.e., to allow for identifying the best strategy to compensate the changes promoted by the extrudate swell. This study reports the development of an improved interface tracking algorithm that employs the least-squares volume-to-point interpolation method for the grid movement. The formulation is enriched further with the consistent second-order time-accurate non-iterative Pressure-Implicit with Splitting of Operators (PISO) algorithm, which allows for efficiently simulating free-surface flows. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed solver is illustrated through the simulation of the steady planar and asymmetric extrudate swell flows of Newtonian fluids. The role of inertia on the extrudate swell is studied, and the results that are obtained with the newly improved solver show good agreement with reference data that are found in the scientific literatureSearch-ON2 (NORTE-07-0162-FEDER-000086) the HPC infrastructure of UMinho under NSRF through ERDF; and FCT I.P. through the Advanced Computing Project CPCA/A00/6057/2020 using the Minho Advanced Computing Center (MACC

On the simulation of the Newtonian fluid Extrudate Swell using a moving mesh finite volume interface tracking method

The extrudate swell, the geometrical modifications that take place when the flowing material leaves a confined flow inside a channel and moves freely without the restrictions promoted by the walls, is a relevant phenomenon in several polymer processing techniques. For instance, in profile extrusion, the extrudate cross-section is subjected to a number of distortions motivated by the swell, which are very difficult to anticipate, especially for complex geometries. As happens in many industrial processes, numerical modelling might provide useful information to support design tasks, i.e., to allow identifying the cross section geometry which produces the desired profile, after the changes promoted by the extrudate swell. In this work we study the capability of an open-source moving mesh finite volume interface tracking solver, to simulate the extrudate swell process in profile extrusion. For this purpose, the data provided by Mitsoulis et al. (E. Mitsoulis, G.C. Georgiou, and Z. Kountouriotis. A study of various factors affecting Newtonian extrudate swell.

Validation of a moving mesh finite volume interface tracking method through the numerical simulation of the Newtonian extrudate swell

The geometrical modifications that take place when the flowing material leaves a confined flow inside a channel and moves freely without the restrictions promoted by the walls, commonly designated by extrudate swell, is a relevant phenomenon in several polymer processing techniques. For instance, in profile extrusion, the extrudate cross-section is subjected to a number of distortions motivated by the swell, which are very difficult to anticipate, especially for complex geometries. To circumvent those problems numerical modelling might provide useful information to support design tasks, i.e., to allow identifying the cross section geometry which produces the desired profile, after the changes promoted by the extrudate swell.
