1. Estimation of body fat in children with intellectual disability: development and cross-validation of a simple anthropometric method
Abstract Objective Population-level monitoring of body composition requires accurate, biologically-relevant, yet feasible methods for estimating percent body fat (%BF). The aim of this study was to develop and cross-validate an equation for %BF from Body Mass Index (BMI), age, and sex among children with intellectual disability (ID). This study further aime

2. Preparation and performance of magnetic zirconium-iron oxide nanoparticles loaded on palygorskite in the adsorption of phosphate from water
Magnetic zirconium-iron oxide nanoparticles loaded on palygorskite as a low-cost adsorbent was produced by one-step co precipitation technique and its properties for phosphate adsorption were overall investigated. The Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) specific surface area analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier tr

3. Main and moderated effects of multimorbidity and depressive symptoms on cognition
Objective: Multimorbidity, or the occurrence of two or more chronic conditions, is a global challenge, with implications for mortality, morbidity, disability, and life quality. Psychiatric disorders are common among the chronic diseases that affect patients with multimorbidity. It is still not well understood whether psychiatric symptoms, especially depressi

4. Prognostic value of the TyG index for in-hospital mortality in nondiabetic COVID-19 patients with myocardial injury
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to explore the efficacy of the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index on in-hospital mortality in nondiabetic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with myocardial injury. METHODS: This was a retrospective study, which included 218 nondiabetic COVID-19 patients who had myocardial injury. The TyG index was d

5. Yellow Mombin (Spondias mombin L.) Seeds from Agro-Industrial Waste as a Novel Adsorbent for Removal of Hexavalent Chromium from Aqueous Solutions
The objective of this study was to develop a low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbent from agro-industrial waste for the removal of hexavalent chromium in the aqueous medium. The adsorbent (BMC) produced from yellow mombin (Spondias mombin L.) seeds was characterized by the determination of the chemical composition, thermal analysis (thermogravimetric (TG) analys

6. The Role of Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Risk Scoring Systems in Predicting Coronary Atherosclerosis
Abstract Background Comparative data on the performance of cardiovascular risk scoring systems (CRSSs) in patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD) are lacking. Objectives To compare different CRSSs regarding their ability to discriminate patients with severe CAD. Method A total of 414 patients (297 men; 61.3±12.3 years of age) undergoing corona

7. Leaf area estimation with nondestructive method in cassava
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to create a single mathematical equation able to estimate the leaf area of different cassava cultivars from one lineal dimension without destroying any plant tissue. Two hundred leaves per cultivar from ten cultivars were used to calibrate the model and more than one hundred leaves per cultivar were used to test its p

8. ALTERNATIVES TO ESTIMATE THE VOLUME OF INDIVIDUAL TREES IN FOREST FORMATIONS IN THE STATE OF MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to compare different alternatives to estimate the stem volume of individual trees in four different forest formations in the Minas Gerais state, Brazil. The data were obtained in a forest inventory procedure performed by the Minas Gerais Technological Center Foundation. The stem volumes were computed by the Smalian ex

9. RESISTANCE OF A RED LATOSOL TO PENETRATION: COMPARISON OF PENETROMETERS, MODEL ADJUSTMENT, AND SOIL WATER CONTENT CORRECTION
ABSTRACT Penetration resistance can be determined directly in the field or in the laboratory. However, data obtained using the two methods are not directly comparable. Considering soil moisture influences penetration resistance, penetration resistance data obtained using the two methods can be corrected based on common moisture values. To enable comparison o

10. Hopfield Neural Network-Based Algorithm Applied to Differential Scanning Calorimetry Data for Kinetic Studies in Polymorphic Conversion
A general kinetic equation to simulate differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data was employed along this work. Random noises are used to generate a thousand data, which are considered to evaluate the performance of Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) and a Hopfield neural network (HNN) based algorithm in the fitting process. The HNN-based algorithm showed better res

11. THE PERFORMANCE OF EXPLICIT FORMULAS FOR DETERMINING THE DARCY-WEISBACH FRICTION FACTOR
ABSTRACT The Darcy-Weisbach equation is the most recommended equation for determining the pressure loss in pressurized pipes because of its wide applicability. However, one of the largest obstacles to implementing this equation is the friction factor (f) calculation. This factor can be precisely determined using the Colebrook equation, which is implicit.

12. Dimensional design of the barometric leg of a flotation column: a key to operational stability
Abstract The inefficiency in controlling the slurry/froth interface level of a scavenger column flotation stage was severely impairing the process performance of an iron mining company, increasing the iron content in the tailings to levels above 20% and, consequently, not meeting the company's iron recovery and pellet feed production targets. Based on mass b
