Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Hydroponic Production of Vegetables and Ornamental Pot-Plants in a Heated Greenhouse in Western Macedonia, GreeceIoannis I. Papadopoulos, Fotis Chatzitheodoridis, Christos Papadopoulos et al.In this research an evaluation-in terms of investments-of hydroponics greenhouses is carried out, as well as the possibility of the development of greenhouse crops cultivations, such as vegetables and flowers, in them is explored in Western Macedonia. The survey was realized between the years 2002-2006, in a model greenhouse, which was installed by the Public Power Corporation S.A., in soils … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,188 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesStability, Stress and Strain Analysis of Very Slender Pinned Thin-Walled Box Columns according to FEM, Euler and TSThKrzysztof Murawski, Alexandre de Macêdo WahrhaftigIn this study, a Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis is presented for the loss of stability in elastic states of very slender pinned without friction box-section thin-walled column axially compressed. From the FEM buckling linear stress analyses are determined the compressing critical forces for 36 cases, presented in tables and as the surface functions in dependence on the slenderness ratio … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 11 May 2021 · 7,197 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAnalysis of Artificial Neural Network Point Forecasting Models and Prediction Intervals for Solar Irradiance EstimationAntônio Fabrício Guimarães de Sousa, Helaine Cristina Moraes Furtado, Wilson Negrão Macêdo, Anderson Alvarenga de Moura MenesesAn accurate knowledge on solar irradiance prediction is particularly required for proper development and planning of Photovoltaic (PV) energy systems. The main purpose of the present research is to assess the accuracy of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) short-term forecast of univariate solar irradiance time series, with conventional point prediction and Prediction Intervals (PIs), comparing models. The Lower Upper Bound Estimation … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 17 Jul 2020 · 7,443 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesLong Short-Term Memory Model for Classification of English-PtBR Cross-Lingual Hate SpeechThiago D. Bispo, Hendrik T. Macedo, Flávio de O. Santos et al.Automatic and accurate recognition of hate speech is a difficult job. In addition to the inherent ambiguity of the natural language, deep understanding of the linguistic structure is imperative. Usually, discriminatory discourse does not make use of typical expressions and often abuse of sarcasm. Good knowledge of world and assessment of context are thus highly demanded. Several approaches have been … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 10 · 1 Nov 2019 · 7,343 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesMeasuring the Relevance of Trajectory Matching and Profile Matching in the Context of Carpooling Computational SystemsMichael Cruz, Hendrik Macedo, Adolfo GuimarãesCarpooling consists of sharing individual vehicle space among people with comparable trajectories. Although there are some software initiatives to help carpooling practice, none of them really implements features similarly to searching for people with similar trajectories and profile. In this study, we propose an innovative approach to generate clusters of users that share similar trajectories and profile for carpooling purposes … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 3 Feb 2018 · 8,133 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPARALLEL IMPLEMENTATION OF EXPECTATION-MAXIMISATION ALGORITHM FOR THE TRAINING OF GAUSSIAN MIXTURE MODELSG. F. Araújo, H. T. Macedo, M. T. Chella et al.Most machine learning algorithms need to handle large data sets. This feature often leads to limitations on processing time and memory. The Expectation-Maximization (EM) is one of such algorithms, which is used to train one of the most commonly used parametric statistical models, the Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM). All steps of the algorithm are potentially parallelizable once they iterate over … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 9 Jul 2014 · 6,940 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesImplications of Method Chosen for Analysis of Fatty Acids in Meat: A ReviewLivia Facuri Araujo Macedo, Ellen Cristina Quirino Lacerda, Roberio Rodrigues Silva et al.The influence of the beef Fatty Acid (FA) profile on human health, has become a recurring concern. For an analysis of the lipid composition of food, it is necessary that the complex lipids be quantified in a suitable form for subsequent analysis of their composition by gas chromatography. The choice of appropriate methods of lipid extraction and esterification of fatty … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 9 Jul 2012 · 8,638 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffects of Azadirachta indica on Sheep Infected Naturally with HelminthesF.R. Macedo, H. Louvandini, G.R. Paludo et al.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of neem (Azadirachta indica) on natural helminthes infection in lambs. Forty, four-month-old entire Santa Ines lambs were grazed on pasture, over a 20 week period. They were divided into 4 treatments: Without drenching (ND), 3 g A. indica/animal (A3), 6 g A. indica/animal (A6) and 9 g A. indica/animal (A9) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,678 accessesView PDF Cite
