Object-orientation relies on polymorphism to express behavioral variants. As opposed to traditional procedural design, explicit type-based conditionals should be avoided. This message is conveyed in introductory material ...

The importance of multiphase flow measurement in many industries today is widely known. In the oil industry in particular, this type of flow is found within wells, flow lines and risers from the oil reservoir to the platform. ...

Active control over a backward facing step flow is studied experimentally by means of plasma based devices. The Reynolds number based on the step height h is 1520. An electrohydrodynamic actuator (EHD), dielectric barrier ...

The consolidation time is the time available for the application of adhesive mortar on the substrate. The NBR 14081-1 does not specify a method of test to determining the consolidation time, however, the standard of ...

We study the determinants of sudden stops in capital flows to emerging markets. Using gross international asset and liability flows (from the point of view of domestic residents), we identify three types of situations: ...

Objective: To measure 2-week postoperative sensitivity in Class II composite restorations placed with a self-etching adhesive (Clearfil SE Bond) or a total-etch adhesive (Prime&Bond NT) with or without a flowable composite ...

Computational fluid dynamics, CFD, is becoming an essential tool in the prediction of the hydrodynamic efforts and flow characteristics of underwater vehicles for manoeuvring studies. However, when applied to the manoeuvrability ...

The analysis of information flow has become a popular technique for ensuring the confidentiality of data. It is in this context that confidentiality policies arise for giving guarantees that private data cannot be inferred ...

Seguindo Almeida et al. (2004), esse estudo busca mensurar o efeito das restrições financeiras sobre a política de caixa das empresas brasileiras. O efeito da restrição financeira impacta na propensão das empresas para ...
