Aims to provide a physical model of MDF boards used in the manufacture of kitchen furniture doors. The existence of a board physical model and handling process (smoothing, drilling, and painting/lacquering) will allow computing (numerically) the board behavior when subject to the multiple physical phenomena taking place. The ability to numerically simulate the occurrence of defects would allow the determination...

OBJETIVE to create a reduced version of the QASCI, which is structurally equivalent to the long one and meets the criteria of reliability and validity. METHOD Through secondary data from previous studies, the participants were divided into two samples, one for the development of reduced version and the second for study of the factorial validity. Participants responded to QASCI, the SF 36, the ADHS and demograph...
A recent genome-wide association study detected a protective effect for the annexin A11 rs1049550*T allele (R230Cvariant) in susceptibility to sarcoidosis. We evaluated the association between rs1049550 C/T and sarcoidosis susceptibility, distinct disease phenotypes and evolution in a Portuguese population. We performed a case-control study of 208 patients and 197 healthy controls. Samples were genotyped for rs...
