O artigo apresenta um modelo de microgeração hídrica no sistema de distribuição de água, como um meio de contribuir na geração de energia a partir de fontes renováveis, sustentáveis e alternativas. O modelo é baseado em uma turbina helicoidal de Gorlov (GHT), um dos meios mais viáveis para a microgeração renovável, pois independe das condições climáticas. Para seu funcionamento, necessita-se de um fluxo de água, o qual pode ser obtido nas tubulações das concessionárias de tratamento e distribuição de água, rios e outros locais, para gerar potência mecânica em um gerador elétrico. Neste trabalho, realizou-se a modelagem da GHT e a simulação do funcionamento da mesma acoplada ao sistema de distribuição de água da cidade de Campinas–SP. Os resultados obtidos indicam que houve uma contribuição para aliviar a demanda na baixa tensão (BT), sem afetar as grandezas elétricas da rede, bem como pela análise hipotética de geração anual e uma economia de energia.
Background: Tertiary care cancer centers can act as reference units for prevention and early detection programs. The purpose of this study was to describe the profile of the Cancer Prevention Campaign (CPC) participants at the A.C. Camargo Cancer Center in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative study was carried out to analyze data of the CPC participants at the A.C. Camargo Cancer Center. Participants were recruited from the general public during lectures delivered by CPC members in selected parts of the city of São Paulo. Data included gender analysis, number of cancer cases diagnosed, topography and tumor/node/metastasis (TNM) stage, in the period 2008-2012. Results: Sixty-two thousand nine hundred one people participated in CPC during the 5-years period (2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012). A total of 65 cancer cases were diagnosed, which represents 0,1% of detection rate: 25 cases were identified in men and 40 in women. The most frequent neoplasms in men were thyroid, prostate and oral cavity cancers while in women, thyroid and breast cancers were more frequent. Conclusions: Cancer prevention activities in tertiary care cancer centers raise awareness in its employees and in the general population, increasing early diagnosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
