1. Sensitivity analysis of the AquaCrop model for wheat crop in Campos Gerais region, Paraná
ABSTRACT The use of crop modeling can be useful to understand the interactions between the soil-plant-atmosphere system. The objective of this study was to evaluate sensitivity analysis of the AquaCrop model parameters for wheat crop in the Campos Gerais Region. The varietie tested was TBIO Sinuelo in Castro, Ponta Grossa and Itaberá cities. The analyzed pa

4. The relation of dermcidin with insulin resistance and inflammation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common endocrinopathy among women of reproductive age. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a metabolic disorder associated with insulin resistance and subclinical inflammation. Dermcidin, an antimicrobial peptide, involves in insulin resistance and inflammatory processes. Dermcidin suppresses the secretion o

7. Is Mallampati classification a good screening test? A prospective cohort evaluating the predictive values of Mallampati test at different thresholds
Abstract Background There is currently some discussion over the actual usefulness of performing preoperative upper airway assessment to predict difficult airways. In this field, modified Mallampati test (MMT) is a widespread tool used for prediction of difficult airways showing only a feeble predictive performance as a diagnostic test. We therefore aimed at

8. Rapid Recognizing the Producing Area of a Tobacco Leaf Using Near-Infrared Technology and a Multi-Layer Extreme Learning Machine Algorithm
A novel recognition method was put forward to identify the producing areas of the flue-cured tobacco leaves rapidly and non-destructively by using a near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer and a multi-layer-extreme learning machine (ML-ELM) algorithm. In contrast to traditional linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and extreme learning machine (ELM) algorithms, the ac

9. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios of overweight children and adolescents
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio of overweight children and adolescents with the eutrophic ratios and to verify whether these ratios are associated with age, inflammation, Z-score of body mass index, and waist-to-height ratio. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study involving 64
