Trends in corneal transplantation from 2001 to 2016 in Brazil by Hirlana Gomes Almeida (5763455)

“…The analysis showed that there was a 2.4-fold increase in the number of corneal transplantations (from 6,193 [35.2 per million people (pmp)] to 14,641 [71 pmp]; p<0.001), a 50.7% increase in the efficacy of meeting the population’s demand for corneal transplantation (from 35.3% to 53.2%; p<0.001), an 11-fold increase in the number of corneal transplantation centers (from 32 to 356), and a 2.5-fold increase in the number of corneal transplantation teams (from 276 to 688) in Brazil during the period studied. …”

Effect of Squeeze Casting on Microhardness and Microstructure of Al-3Cu-xSi Alloy by Ronaldo Oliveira (7453877)

“…This process provides changes in the microstructure which lead to changes in the mechanical properties of the material such as the increase in the microhardness of the processed alloy. alloys Al-5,5% Si-3% Cu, Al-7,5% Si-3% and Al-9% Si-3% Cu alloys were solidified by the squeeze casting process to analyze the microstructural and microhardness variations. Pressures of 0 MPa, 50 MPa, 100 MPa and 150 Mpa were used. In general, with increasing pressure and composition, the λ2 values decrease from the metal/mold interface, especially at pressures of 150 MPa and Composition of 9%Si, on the other hand the increase of these variables leads to the formation of more phases Al2Cu metastable that have a decrease in the Microhardness of the material, in addition to the formation of other phases due to the proximity to the eutetic.…”

Table 1_Species diversity and risk factors of gastrointestinal nematodes in smallholder dairy calves in Kenya.docx by Sylvia Cheptoo (22040249)

“…Species identification was achieved through deep amplicon sequencing of the Internal Transcribed Spacer-2 rDNA locus (ITS-2) of first-stage larvae (L1). The mean eggs per gram (EPG) was 62.0 ± 93.0. Most of the calves 64.2% had low-intensity infections (<50 EPG), 28.6% had medium-intensity infections (50–200 EPG), and 7.2% had high-intensity infections (>200 EPG). …”

Significant influences of forest features on absolute treatment effects (inside the fence–outside the fence), i.e. the difference. by Deborah Schäfer (6940535)

“…<p>Positive values indicate increased response variables in fenced plots, negative values indicate decreased response values in fenced plots. We see (a) difference of species richness of herbs against relative conifer cover (b) difference of species richness of herbs against mean DBH of the 50 largest trees (c) difference of cover of herbs (all herbs estimated together) against relative conifer cover (d) difference of diversity of herbs (exp(H)) against initial cover of herbs (summed cover of individual species measured independent of treatment plots in spring and summer, resulting in values ranging from 0.1–266) (e) difference of evenness of shrubs against canopy cover.…”
