13. Avaliação do desempenho termico de tres tipologias de brise-soleil fixo / Thermal performance of three different fixed shading devices
In this work the thermal performance of shading devices regarding solar radiation in indoor spaces with protected openings is analyzed. The typology and materials of shading devices were selected considering the elements used in Brazilian modern architecture buildings between the 1930 and 1960 decades. Most studies about shading devices are based on geometri

21. Molecular typing of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 isolates in Japan by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was applied for molecular typing of 825 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 isolates, most of which were from 19 outbreaks and 608 sporadic cases in Japan, mainly in May to August 1996. By PFGE, the EHEC O157:H7 isolates were classified into six types (type I to V and ND [nondescript]) and UT untypeable i

22. Acute effects of summer air pollution on respiratory function in primary school children in southern England.
BACKGROUND: There is growing concern about health effects of air pollution in the UK. Studies in the USA have reported adverse effects on lung function among children but no comparable studies have been published in the UK. This study investigates the relationship between daily changes in ambient air pollution and short term variations in lung function in a

23. Follow-up study of pharyngeal carriers of beta-hemolytic streptococci among school children in Sapporo City during a period of 2 years and 5 months.
A total of 124 normal school children in three classes (aged 8 to 9) were examined for beta-hemolytic streptococci for 29 months from August 1977 to December 1979 be means of serial monthly throat cultures. No significant difference between the carrier rate of boys and that of girls was observed. Although no monthly variation of carrier rates appeared in cla
