Even though few technological advancements have occurred in Orthodontics recently, the search for more efficient treatments continues. This paper analyses how to accelerate and improve one of the most arduous phases of ...

The increase of electricity demand in Brazil, the lack of the next major hydroelectric reservoirs implementation, and the growth of environmental concerns lead utilities to seek an improved system planning to meet these ...

In this study, GMAW and CMT welding technologies were evaluated in terms of their technological lifecycles based on their patent datasets together with the S-curve concept, and the joints were evaluated in terms of their ...

Electric energy demand in residences represents around 30% of the global demand. This requires a detailed knowledge about the electrical load patterns, leading to a change in final consumer behavior to reduce the general ...

The objective of this paper is the evaluation of uncertainty propagation associated to several parameters in the dynamics of magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) curved beams. These MEE structures can be employed as imbedded parts ...

During the last two decades materials, that exhibit graded properties, left their spirit of conceptual laboratory specimens to become a technological reality with a well established background. However structural applications ...
