13. Risk factors for cytomegalovirus disease in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE): a systematic review
Abstract Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an opportunistic pathogen causing reactivation and disease in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients. This study aims to systematically review the literature for risk factors associated with CMV disease in SLE patients, in order to identify those more susceptible to CMV infection during their treatment. Me

14. MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL FOR PRODUCTION OF ULTRA-LOW SULFUR DIESEL IN A HYDROTREATING PROCESS
ABSTRACT There is a continual desire around the world to reduce the sulphur content of diesel fuel to ultra-low levels (below 10 ppm) due to environmental concerns and the intention of improving air quality and lowering harmful exhaust emissions of diesel engines. In this work, a hydrodesulfurization unit fed with multiple diesel streams was addressed using

15. Tribology of natural Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK) under transmission oil lubrication
Abstract High performance polymeric materials such as poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) are increasingly being used for challenging tribological applications in order to replace metal parts in vehicle engines and transmissions. The tribology of natural PEEK, under oil-lubricated conditions, was studied for different metal counterbody finishes. Two different fin

17. Electrolytic polishing of compacted graphite iron for revealing subsurface graphite of honed cylinders
ABSTRACT The superficial characteristics of honed surfaces are relevant for the tribological performance of cylinders of internal combustion engines (MCI). Recent studies found a correlation between the occurrence of the phenomenon called folded metal and the presence of graphite of cast irons. However, the honing process tends to overlap the graphite, such

18. A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON THE INFLUENCE OF HLA-B POLYMORPHISMS ON HIV-1 MOTHER-TO-CHILD-TRANSMISSION
ABSTRACT Background: Mother-to-child-transmission (MTCT) is the main route of HIV-1 infection in children. Genetic studies suggest HLA-B alleles play an important role on HIV-1 transmission, progression, and control of HIV-1 infection. Objective: To evaluate which polymorphisms of HLA-B are involved in HIV-1 MTCT. Methods: Two independent reviewers perfor

19. Vocal Fold Polyps: Literature Review
Abstract Introduction Vocal fold polyps are one of themost frequent benign laryngeal lesions, impacting the quality of life of those affected by them, primarily the vocal production. Despite being a well-established therapy in conjunction with surgery, speech therapy alone may also be effective in treating these lesions. As such, otolaryngologists and spee

20. Black Carbon Associated to PM1.0 and PM2.5: Mass Variation due to Combustion of Biodiesel/Diesel Blends (B5, B6, B7 and B8)
The present study aims to quantify black carbon (BC), particulate matter (PM1.0 and PM2.5, particles with diameter ≤ 1.0 and 2.5 µm, respectively) levels and their variability during the combustion of biodiesel/diesel blends used in heavy-duty vehicles. The samplings were conducted in the years 2014, 2016 and 2017 inside a semi closed bus station, a direc

21. DESTILAÇÃO ATMOSFÉRICA DO BIODIESEL DERIVADO DO ÓLEO DE MACAÚBA OU DO PALMISTE PARA OBTENÇÃO DA FRAÇÃO DE ÉSTERES LEVES PARA USO COMO COMBUSTÍVEL DE AVIAÇÃO
The production of methyl esters via transesterification reaction of triacylglycerides of macaúba and palm kernel oils, with subsequent atmospheric distillation and separation of six fractions of the produced biodiesel, corresponding to 60% of its initial volume, is reported. The composition in esters of the produced biodiesel, its fractions and remaining re

22. Appliance of a high pressure semi-batch reactor: supercritical transesterification of soybean oil using methanol
Abstract This work presents the results of a supercritical transesterification process of soybean oil using methanol, performed in a laboratory high pressure semi-batch reactor. A full description of the equipment and a standard operating procedure are also provided. Since fossil fuels are not renewable, biofuels such biodiesel, have gained attention over t

23. Stability Characteristics of a Model Trim Adjustment System for Open Loop Active Control of Thermoacoustic Instability
ABSTRACT Thermoacoustic instability in liquid rocket engines can have potentially catastrophic consequences. Active control based on feedback promises improved stability margin over a wider range of operating conditions than passive control. In the present work, the thermoacoustic characteristics of a trim adjustment active control system based on variable v

24. Characterization of the Physicochemical Properties of Different Biodiesel Samples
ABSTRACT For combustion engines to perform well, it is necessary that the fuel used be of high quality. Fuel quality can be analyzed through different physicochemical properties. This study presents comparisons between the values presented in literature, legislation and those obtained through experimental tests of different biodiesel samples. Biodiesel is a
