Characterisation of residual açaí stone ash for addition to concrete by Luciana de Nazaré Pinheiro Cordeiro (5995130)

“…The results show that ash has physical characteristics that allow it to be used as an addition to concrete. There was a decrease in the axial compressive strength and an increase in the water absorption of concrete with additions, in relation to the reference concrete. …”

Neutrality and the Response of Rare Species to Environmental Variance by Lisandro Benedetti-Cecchi (51684)

“…Under what circumstances one model prevails over the other is still a matter of debate. We show that the decay of similarity over time in rocky seashore assemblages of algae and invertebrates sampled over a period of 16 years was consistent with the predictions of a stochastic model of ecological drift at time scales larger than 2 years, but not at time scales between 3 and 24 months when similarity was quantified with an index that reflected changes in abundance of rare species. …”

Impact of amplitude trend on periods estimates. by Tomasz Zielinski (95986)

“…Dampening was applied to a standard pulse data set (5 days data, hourly sampled, 80% walking noise level, 24 h underlying period) and adding to it 5 different envelope shapes with increasing amplitude. 1) The trend/envelope shapes: linear decrease (lin); exponential decrease; parabola (par); 2/3 parabola (2/3par) and 1/parabola (1/3par) 2) The level of amplitude trend, ie, the maximal level of original signal deduction. 0 means no dampening, and for example 0.6 for lin. trend means that at the end of 5^th day, the signal is reduced to 40% of its original vale. …”

Image_1_Local anatomy, stimulation site, and time alter directional deep brain stimulation impedances.tiff by Joseph W. Olson (13191210)

The effect of antidepressant treatment on the HPA axis, changes in depression score and serum levels of TNF-α in depressed infertile women by SEDIGHEH KESHAVARZ (8527104)

“…Results We analyzed the data related to 55 subjects who had undergone embryo transfer. 7 subjects in the intervention group and 3 in the control group got pregnant. We observed a significant decrease in the depression score (p < 0/001) and serum levels of cortisol (p = 0/001) in the intervention group. …”

DataSheet_1_CD36 is Associated With the Development of Coronary Artery Lesions in Patients With Kawasaki Disease.docx by Mindy Ming-Huey Guo (11264691)

“…Coronary artery lesions were associated with a larger decrease of CD36 expression following IVIG therapy, which may indicate that prolonged expression of the scavenger receptor may have a protective effect against the development of coronary artery lesions in KD.…”

The Latitudinal Gradients of PID Species by Vanina Guernier (26588)

“…The probability is highly significant (<i>p</i> < 0.0001), confirming that the spatial organization of PID species richness on the largest scale matches the nested species subset hierarchy illustrated in <a href="http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.0020141#pbio-0020141-g001" target="_blank">Figure 1</a>A. …”

Should every wavelon be fully connected? by Maryam Mahsal Khan (4840008)

“…<p>Summation of wavelons’ dimensionality for individual EWNNs (over 50 independent evolutionary runs); and for the ensemble EWNN-e (over the number of active classifiers), for the three datasets (a) DDSM, (b) LPD and (c) SPD. Note the overall increasing trend for DDSM, with a larger number of high-dimensionality wavelons (except for EWNN-e which shows a decrease in the number of 6-dimensional wavelons). …”
