Landslide risk assessment considering socionatural factors: methodology and application to Cubatão municipality, São Paulo, Brazil
(2022-01-01)
The manuscript presents a methodology to integrate spatial information of susceptibility, vulnerability and rainfall thresholds to produce a dynamic landslide risk map. The inputs were combined in two matrices: combining ...
Analysis of linearity and frequency response of a novel piezoelectric flextensional actuator using a homodyne interferometer and the J1 - J4 method
(2007-06-01)
Piezoelectric transducers are widely used in high-resolution positioning systems. This paper reports the experimental analysis of a novel piezoelectric flextensional actuator (PFA), which is designed by using the ...
Desenvolvimento de um sensor óptico para medidas de fração de vazio de um minicanal
(Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, 2013-01-18)
This work presents the development of an experimental methodology for measuring
void fraction in an air-water two-phase flow, using optical sensor in a horizontal mini channel of 2.6 mm internal diameter. ...
Avaliação da segurança contra incêndios de sistemas de compartimentação vertical em fachadas cortina
(Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, 2020-11-26)
The wide application of glass facades in vertical buildings is a concern when it
comes to fire safety. This system loses its integrity easily and facilitates the spread of
fire between vertical compartments. In order to ...
First case of SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection in municipal solid waste leachate from Brazil
(2022-06-10)
This work presents the first case of SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection in leachate collected from a transfer station in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. After calibration of the viral detection method already used for wastewater ...
Bayesian model identification through harmonic balance method for hysteresis prediction in bolted joints
(2022-01-01)
Hysteresis is a nonlinear phenomenon present in many structures, such as those assembled by bolted joints. Despite a large number of recent findings related to identification techniques for these systems, the problem is ...

Colour and surface fluorescence development and their relationship with Maillard reaction markers as influenced by structural changes during cornflakes production
(Elsevier, 2012-12)
The aim of this work was to study colour and surface fluorescence development in relation to the chemical markers for the Maillard reaction at the cooking, flaking and toasting stages of cornflake production process. Colour ...
Comparative assessment of a mountain river flow resistance – 1D-: sensitivity and prediction using data-based approaches
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-11-21)
Mountain -rivers are, by far, the most challenging case to model because of its bed characteristics and their energy
dissipation mechanisms depending on its irregular morphology. Resistance, roughness, or friction parameter ...
