Multiple single cannulation technique of arteriovenous fistula: A randomized co...

Introduction: Despite the impact needling has had on vascular access survival and patient outcome, there is no universal or standardized method proposed for proper cannulation. Rigorous studies are needed, examining cannulation practices, and challenges to achieving complication-free cannulation. Methods: This randomized, open-label trial was conducted at 18 dialysis units owned by a large private dialysis prov...

Aspergillus spp. and azole-resistance characterization on filtering respiratory...

Studies performed on the waste management industry have reported Aspergillus as the most frequent genera on waste-sorting, incineration and composting. Filtering respiratory protective devices (FRPD) are disposable after one-day use (workshift) and their use is mandatory in Portuguese wastesorting industries. During FRPD use, humidity and temperature conditions provide a favorable environment for Aspergillus gr...

MARTA: a high-energy cosmic-ray detector concept for high-accuracy muon measure...

A new concept for the direct measurement of muons in air showers is presented. The concept is based on resistive plate chambers (RPCs), which can directly measure muons with very good space and time resolution. The muon detector is shielded by placing it under another detector able to absorb and measure the electromagnetic component of the showers such as a water-Cherenkov detector, commonly used in air shower ...

Avaliação dos fatores de risco psicossociais e da perceção das condições do loc...

Diversos estudos comprovam a capacidade dos fatores de risco psicossociais no local de trabalho afetarem a saúde física, mental e social dos trabalhadores. Face a esta problemática, este estudo tem como objetivo identificar os fatores de risco a que os profissionais que exerçam a sua atividade em lares de idosos estão expostos, bem como averiguar uma possível relação entre as condições do trabalho e a satisfaçã...

Unmanned aerial vehicle safety assessment modelling through petri Nets

Currently we are facing an increasing trend of use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in various activities both civilian and military. Although there is no legal framework for the operation of these systems, regulatory authorities require the demonstration of a safety level equivalent to manned aircraft. It is known the high vulnerability of the UAV not only to unexpected failures of their systems but also to t...

Development of unmanned aerial vehicles maintenance strategy under an asset man...

Many organizations in a large number of countries all around the world are now awaking for a new reality concerning potential applications for the usage of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or unmanned aerial systems (UAS). What was initially strictly applied for military purposes or pure private entertainment has now widespread for other purposes as for example for book or pizza delivery to customers. In manned c...
