This paper investigates the production scheduling problems of allocating resources and sequencing jobs in the seru production system (SPS).As a new-type manufacturing mode arising from Japanese production practices, seru production can achieve efficiency, flexibility, and responsiveness simultaneously.The production environment in which a Hayward S
The problem of ensuring the specified thermo-dimensional stability of structures from laminated polymer composite materials for the service life period is considered.A method of reliability-oriented design of Glass Tumblers a thermo-dimensionally stable composite structure is proposed, according to which its design parameters are set with regard to
Abstract Background Salivary proteins from sandflies are potential targets for exploitation as vaccines to control Leishmania infection; in this work we tested the hypothesis that salivary proteins from geographically distant Phlebotomus duboscqi sandfly populations are highly divergent due to the pressure exerted by the host immune response.Saliva
In the last decade a growing HIV/AIDS epidemic with increased incidence and AIDS-related mortality has been reported in Northern Brazil from which molecular data are scarce.Also, apparently healthy, adult blood donors, recently diagnosed with HIV-1 represent important sentinel populations for molecular studies.This cross-sectional study describes H
