13. DEFORMATION OF PEACHES SUBMITTED TO CYCLIC LOADING USING THE DISCRETE ELEMENT METHOD
ABSTRACT This study aimed to use and validate a simple contact force model that describes the behavior of peaches stored in a wooden box, loaded cyclically, by using the discrete element method. The Kelvin-Voigt contact force model was used and the cyclic loading in the simulation was performed with an amplitude of 1 mm and frequency of 12 Hz for time interv

14. DETERMINING PRODUCTION AND INVENTORY PARAMETERS: AN INTEGRATED SIMULATION AND MAVT APPROACH WITH TRADEOFF ELICITATION
ABSTRACT This study puts forward a multi-attribute decision model that determines good production and inventory parameter settings in make-to-stock (MTS) environments controlled by the Conwip (constant work-in-process) method. This model uses a discrete event simulation to evaluate the performance of a system in relation to work-in-process and a finished goo

15. Modeling and FPGA-based implementation of an efficient and simple envelope detector using a Hilbert Transform FIR filter for ultrasound imaging applications
Abstract Introduction Although the envelope detection is a widely used method in medical ultrasound (US) imaging to demodulate the amplitude of the received echo signal before any back-end processing, novel hardware-based approaches have been proposed for reducing its computational cost and complexity. In this paper, we present the modeling and FPGA impleme

16. Trypanosoma cruzi strain TcIV infects raccoons from Illinois
BACKGROUND The northern limits of Trypanosoma cruzi across the territory of the United States remain unknown. The known vectors Triatoma sanguisuga and T. lecticularia find their northernmost limits in Illinois; yet, earlier screenings of those insects did not reveal the presence of the pathogen, which has not been reported in vectors or reservoir hosts in

17. Effects of chlorhexidine preprocedural rinse on bacteremia in periodontal patients: a randomized clinical trial
Abstract Objective: Single dose of systemic antibiotics and short-term use of mouthwashes reduce bacteremia. However, the effects of a single dose of preprocedural rinse are still controversial. This study evaluated, in periodontally diseased patients, the effects of a pre-procedural mouth rinse on induced bacteremia. Material and Methods: Systemically hea

18. A novel transition identification mechanism for the diesel blending and distribution scheduling problem using the discrete time representation with two time-scales granularity
ABSTRACT Transitions between tasks arise in many different scheduling problems. Sometimes transitions are undesired because they incur costs; sometimes they are undesired because they require setup time, and sometimes both. In one way or the other, frequently, transitions need to be identified and penalized in order for their frequency to be minimized. The p

19. Simulation of species concentration distribution in reactive flows with unsteady boundary conditions
Abstract The determination of species concentration profiles in reactive flows with variable inlets is a problem of practical interest to many fields such as in flow reactor transient operation and in cyclic degradable pollutants disposals in watercourses. In these cases, the inflow condition often consists of a time-dependent function, which may imply unste

20. Updating of a Nonlinear Finite Element Model Using Discrete-Time Volterra Series
Abstract In this study, the discrete-time Volterra series are used to update parameters in a nonlinear finite element model. The main idea of the Volterra series is to describe the discrete-time output of a nonlinear system using multidimensional convolutions between the Volterra kernels represented in a Kautz orthogonal basis and the excitations. A metric b

21. SIMULATION OPTIMIZATION FOR ANALYSIS OF SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS SYSTEMS
ABSTRACT This work analyzed different logistics structures under a sustainable perspective. It wasdeveloped a discrete event simulation model associated with optimization algorithm to evaluate the best combinations of the model. Besides, the comparison between the simulation optimization and a multicriteria method was performed. The simulation software Urura

22. Developing a dynamic virtual stimulation protocol to induce linear egomotion during orthostatic posture control test
Abstract Introduction In this work, the effect of a dynamic visual stimulation (DS) protocol was used to induce egomotion, the center of pressure (COP) displacement response. Methods DS was developed concerning the scenario structure (chessboard-pattern floor and furniture) and luminance. To move the scenario in a discrete forward (or backward) direction,

23. Simulation model of discret events applied to the planning and operation of a toll plaza
AbstractThis work investigates the congestion and traffic flow in a tool plaza, and proposes a methodology for the classification of highway flows and its service levels based on a combination of the Highway Capacity Manual – HCM and Discrete Events Simulation fundaments. The proposed mesoscopic simulation is used to analyze service levels of different phy

24. Incidence of snakebites from 2007 to 2014 in the State of São Paulo, Southeast Brazil, using a Bayesian time series model
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: The monthly incidence of snakebites from 2007 to 2014 in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, was assessed. METHODS: A statistical model based on the discrete double Poisson distribution was proposed, including pairs of sine and cosine functions of time to account for seasonality and autoregressive terms. RESULTS: The analysis indicate
