13. Reference Equation for the Six-Minute Walk Test in Brazilian Patients with Obesity
Abstract Background: Obesity has repercussions on functional capacity (FC). The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a useful tool for assessing submaximal FC, and the distance reached at 6 minutes of walking (D6MW) is a relevant prognostic marker. Objective: This paper aims to establish a reference equation for the distance predicted in 6MWT in obese Brazilian

14. In silico Evaluation of Cucurbit[6]uril as a Potential Detector for Cocaine and Its Adulterants Lidocaine, Caffeine, and Procaine
Illicit drugs and their trafficking require worldwide efforts in investigation, detection, and control. Colorimetric tests are often applied to identify drugs. Cocaine has some well-known adulterants that can provide a false positive response. Cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) has been suggested as a potential detector for cocaine and other illicit drugs. This work us

15. Syncope in Patients with Cardiac Pacemakers
Abstract Introduction: It is challenging to diagnose syncope in patients with pacemakers. Because these patients have increased morbidity and mortality risks, they require immediate attention to determine the causes in order to provide appropriate treatment. This study aimed to investigate the causes and predictive factors of syncope as well as the methods

17. Flexible pavement overlay design of UFJF ring road based on the new Brazilian mechanistic-empirical pavement design method
Abstract The procedures for design and reinforcement projects regarding flexible pavements available in Brazil are mostly based on empirical models developed from studies carried out in specific localities, and therefore, should only be used in cases where equivalent climatic and traffic conditions are observed. The national highway agencies in partnership w

18. Determinants of Arterial Stiffness and Vascular Aging in the Older Adult
Abstract Background: Arterial stiffness (AS) is recognized as an important and independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Objective: This study was aimed at identifying the main determinants of AS in the elderly. Design and Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional study of elderly participants. Blood pressure (BP) and parameters

19. Selection of promissory crops of wild cherry-type tomatoes using physicochemical parameters and antioxidant contents
ABSTRACT Tomato is considered a fruit with a high food demand across the world due to its high antioxidant capacity. Lycopene content in tomato has been widely studied, particularly in cherry-type tomatoes which are considered a high source of lycopene for humans. The aim of this study was to analyze the differences in terms of concentration and variation of

20. Zn2Al Layered Double Hydroxides Intercalated with Nitrate and p-Aminobenzoate as Ultraviolet Protective Agents in Low-Density Polyethylene Nanocomposites and Natural Insulating Oils
Zn2Al-Cl and Zn2Al-NO3 layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized through the fixed pH co-precipitation method and used as precursor materials for the intercalation of p-aminobenzoate through anion exchange reactions. Since chloride in Zn2Al-Cl was only partially exchanged with p-aminobenzoate, the phases Zn2Al-NO3 and Zn2Al-N -AB (nitrate exchanged w
