In this paper, we extend the use of the variance dispersion graph (VDG) to experiments in which the response surface (RS) design must be blocked. Through several examples we evaluate the prediction performances of RS designs ...

This study presents 53-year climatology of Southern Hemisphere (SH) blockings in the winter using daily 500-hPa geopotential height data from NCEP–NCAR reanalysis. The variability of SH blocking events and their relationships ...

The main goal of this project is comparing the performance of structural ceramic blocks with 11,5 (Block A) e 14 (Block B) centimeters thickness, through tests with blocks, prisms and small walls using two types of mortar, ...

The texture of concrete blocks is very important and is often the decisive factor when choosing a product, particularly if the building specifications does not dispense with the high resistance of the blocks, but has the ...

Although interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) remains the gold standard for analgesia after shoulder surgery, the inherent risks of ipsilateral phrenic nerve block and hemidiaphragmatic paralysis (HDP) limit its use ...

The purpose of this paper is to study the mechanical behavior of concrete blocks and prisms when performing axial compression tests within the Brazilian base of knowledge, intending to foment data of this kind for a ...

In order to establish a production plan, an open-pit mine is partitioned into a three-dimensional array of blocks. The order in which blocks are extracted and processed has a dramatic impact on the economic value of the ...
