In small sized constructions, such as small houses or apartments, designers target to develop an economic project. In these buildings, one of the alternatives is to reduce the number of electrical circuits of the electrical installation, only if this reduction does not cause any damage to any functionality of the building. In this blog post, […]
A company can save about 10% on its electrical energy bill only by changing their contract from conventional fare to white fare. In addition, it is really simple to change the fare contract from conventional to white and vice-versa—you only need to call the electrical energy company and request to change the contract. In this […]
Procel, National Program for Electrical Energy Saving (www.proceinfo.com.br), is a federal government program (Ministry of Mines and Energy) executed by Eletrobras. The goal of Procel is to encourage conscious use of electrical energy through using efficient appliances and sustainable attitudes. Among the resources sponsored by Procel is the Procel Seal, which is awarded to appliances with high energy efficiency (use less electricity). Energy […]
Recently, we published a paper [1] where we used 3D models of cardic cells (called cardiomyocytes). These 3D models were used to study the interaction between external electromagnetic fields and cardiac structures. Now that the paper is published, we (the authors) have decided to share the 3D models online, in case they can be useful […]
In an electrical installation project, quantity and type of power outlets is one of the critical factors. This factor depends on the building and on the equipment used therein. This information is usually given by the client. With this information, and based on the Brazilian standard NBR 5410 from ABNT, which determines the minimum requirements […]
What does GLM mean? GLM stands for Generalized Linear Models. These statistical models are used when one wants to predict a variable using known functions of the predictor variables. Under these conditions, GLM are a powerful statistical tool used by researchers throughout the world. Example: Annual income increase Let’s explore an example for a salary […]
What are GAMs? GAM stands for Generalized Additive Models. This is an statistical technique used to approximate smooth functions to predict a variable. In essence, smooth functions are obtained based on several cubic functions (in practice, more complex functions are utilized). When should I use GAMs? You could use GAMs when you do not know […]
