A contribution for thermoeconomic modelling: A methodology proposal
(Applied Thermal Engineering, 2010-09-01) [Artigo]
This work presents a thermoeconomic optimization methodology for the analysis and design of energy systems. This methodology involves economic aspects related to the exergy conception, in order to develop a tool to assist ...
Postural control under visual and proprioceptive perturbations during double and single limb stances: Insights for balance training
(Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 2012-04-01) [Artigo]
Single Limb Stance under visual and proprioceptive disturbances is largely used in clinical settings in order to improve balance in a wide range of functional disabilities. However, the proper role of vision and proprioception ...
Electromyographic analysis of masseter and anterior temporalis muscle in sleep bruxers after occlusal splint wearing
(Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 2012-04-01) [Artigo]
Bruxism is widely defined as an anxiety response to environmental stress. Occlusal splints are frequently used in sleep bruxism, to protect teeth from damage resulting from the contraction force of mandibular muscles, or ...

(Ciencia y Engenharia/ Science and Engineering Journal, 2014-07-01) [Artigo]
This work deals with a method for detonation wave front diagnostics through soot foils. The main goal is to develop the method for further detonation research to be developed at the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica ...
A DOE based approach for the design of RBF artificial neural networks applied to prediction of surface roughness in AISI 52100 hardened Steel turning
(Journal of the Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering, 2010-12-01) [Artigo]
The use of artificial neural networks for prediction in hard turning has received considerable attention in literature. An often quoted drawback of ANNs is the lack of a systematic way for the design of high performance ...
An evaluation of shot peening, residual stress and stress relaxation on the fatigue life of AISI 4340 steel
(International Journal of Fatigue, 2002-08-01) [Artigo]
Shot peening is a method widely used to improve the fatigue strength of materials. through the creation of a compressive residual stress field (CRSF) in their surface layers. In the present research the gain in fatigue ...
Predicting academic success of engineering students in technical drawing from working memory
(Journal for Geometry and Graphics, 2012-11-27) [Artigo]
Tests on spatial aptitude, in particular Visualization, have been shown to be efficient predictors of the academic performance of Technical Drawing stu-dents. It has recently been found that Spatial Working Memory (a ...
Towards a green industry through cleaner production development
(Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022-01-01) [Resenha]
The growth in global production and consumption rates has resulted in increased pollution generation by industrial companies. To this end, cleaner production is one of the most widely used strategies to reduce the environmental ...
