Non-Ergodic Theory vs. Fractal Geometry in Organizational Learning and Dynamic ...

This paper examines the adoption of non-Ergodic Theory and Fractal Geometry to enhance organizational learning in healthcare food catering. It critiques conventional linear models, promoting an understanding of varied learning processes across organizational strata. Non-Ergodic Theory emphasizes the diversity of learning among individuals and groups, while Fractal Geometry examines learning as self-similar patt...

Advancing blood-brain barrier-on-a-chip models through numerical simulations

Researchers have placed engineered or natural tissues within microfuidic chips originating the so-called organ-on-a-chip (OoC) devices. With this technology, organ models can be subjected to phenomena that replicate the complex in vivo biological environment. Furthermore, the OoC devices constitute a more valuable, cost-efective and ethical option when compared to assays performed in animal models for disease r...

Experimental evaluation of green nanofluids in heat exchanger made oF PDMS

Conventional methods for synthesizing metallic nanoparticles face challenges such as instability and environ mental concerns. Therefore, new, simpler, and more eco-friendly methods are being explored. In this context, the study reports a green synthesis process to produce magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles using an aqueous extract of the alga Chlorella vulgaris. This process leverages natural resources to create...

Mechanical and optical properties assessment of an innovative PDMS/beeswax comp...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is an elastomer that has received primary attention from researchers due to its excellent physical, chemical, and thermal properties, together with biocompatibility and high flexibility properties. Another material that has been receiving attention is beeswax because it is a natural raw material, extremely ductile, and biodegradable, with peculiar hydrophobic properties. These materi...

Effective Competence in Patient Care

Affective competence encompasses the capacity to identify, comprehend, and manage one’s own emotions as well as discern and appropriately respond to the emotions of others. This concept, first introduced by psychotherapist Silvan Tomkins in the 1960s, plays a pivotal role in empathy, i.e., the ability to grasp someone else’s perspective. Training programs aimed at bolstering affective competence focus on teachi...

LAR@MSL Team description paper 2024

The LAR@MSL team has been participating in MSL for many years, from 1999-2007, 2011, 2016 and again in 2023. This Team Description Paper intends to briefly explain the robot’s structure, hardware and software and some of the most important changes implemented by this new team. It is important to point out that new students joined the team and are new to the league. Most of the changes, so far, have been regardi...

LAR@MSL Description Paper 2023

The LAR@MSL team has been participating on MSL for many years, from 1999-2007, 2011, and 2016. After a few years of stoppage for RoboCup nonrelated reasons, the research team is back to the MSL with a new generation of students. The 2016 robot platforms are being used with some hardware/software changes as the robots were very obsolete and the changes were needed to keep up with the league evolution. This Team ...
