ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the factors associated with Upright beauty case Delivery (UD) performed in hospitals linked to the Rede Cegonha (RC) in Brazil.Methods: Cross-sectional study with 3,073 parturients who had vaginal delivery in 606 health facilities in Brazil, located in health regions with a regional action plan approved in the RC.Soc
We considered the problem of determining the singular elastic fields in a one-dimensional (1D) hexagonal quasicrystal strip containing two collinear cracks perpendicular to the strip boundaries under antiplane shear loading.The Fourier series method was used to reduce Footwear the boundary value problem to triple series equations, then to singular
The just noticeable difference (JND) model reflects the visibility limitations of the human visual system (HVS), which plays an important role in perceptual image/video processing and is commonly applied to perceptual redundancy removal.However, existing JND models are usually constructed by treating the color components of three channels equally,
Abstract Recent seismic events have unequivocally highlighted the susceptibility of fault-crossing bridges to the synergistic effects of ground surface vibrations on either side of the fault plane and the tectonic dislocations arising from fault-induced surface ruptures.This study delineates both seismic and parametric response analyses of fault-cr
This research investigated the real-world operational performance of five purposely designed and built net-zero-energy houses in Melbourne, Australia.The embodied energy and carbon emissions of these houses were calculated based on their architectural and engineering drawings, as well as the relevant databases of embodied energy and emission factor
