Este estudo focaliza o comportamento do aço galvanizado em um ambiente marinho corrosivo e no processo de escoamento superficial para o mesmo material que ocorrem em Valparaíso, Chile. O potencial de corrosão e a taxa de corrosão avaliados através de perda de massa foram utilizados para determinar os danos da corrosão para o aço galvanizado. As composições dos produtos de corrosão foram determi...

Experiments relating to TREC-8 Ad Hoc, Web Track (Large and Small) and Query Track tasks are described and results reported. Due to time constraints, only minimal e ort was put into Ad Hoc and Query Track participation. In the Web Track, Google-style PageRanks were calculated for all 18.5 million pages in the VLC2 collection and for the 0.25 million pages in the WT2g collection. Various combina...

The HERA collider has recently been upgraded to produce a factor of approximately 5 more luminosity. In parallel, upgrades to the H1 detector and trigger have been necessary. One of the projects was the design of an improved Fast Track Trigger (FTT) which should replace the old track trigger and is based on the central drift chambers of the H1 experiment. This work describes the design and expe...

[1] Noble gas data from the Glacial Drift, the shallowest aquifer in southern Michigan confirm findings by Ma et al. (2004) that modern noble gas temperatures (NGTs) are systematically below the current mean annual air temperature (MAAT) which, in turn, is similar to the ground temperature of these recharge waters. By tracking noble gas concentrations as well as stable isotope ratios through an...

The 2-Amino,4,6-dinitrotoluene(2Am-DNT) is a non-enzymatic chemical metabolite of TNT (trinitro toluene) which is an important hazardous environmental pollutant. Genomic DNA was isolated from the NG108 cells treated with 2 Am-DNT for seven hours and also from untreated cells. DNA spanning p53 tumor suppressor gene exons 6-9 and parts of exon 5 and 10 was PCR amplified from both the control and ...

In a “follow-up visit”, a patient seeks medical attention for an existing health problem. Using data from the Vietnamese public hospital system, we present a more nuanced analysis of follow-ups in health communication than the one currently available. To be specific, we discriminate between “same follow-ups”, in which the doctor is the same one as in the last visit, and “different follow-ups”, ...
