BIODEGRADABLE COMPOSITES OF SUGARCANE BAGASSE AND VEGETAL POLYURETHANE FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS by Talita Angelica dos Santos, Carla Molina Satirio, Karina Oliveira Fernandes da Silva, Maria Virgem Carvalho de Paula, Natália Francisco de Paula

“…The computational simulation showed that it would be possible to make an orthosis with the PU composite with sugarcane bagasse and that for that it would be necessary to optimize the design of the orthosis. The use of PU composite with sugarcane bagasse in the medical field is promising, as it is a non-toxic material, from a renewable source and that uses agro-industrial waste with low added value, also presenting the advantage of providing better comfort to the patient …”

Application of SWAT Model for Runoff Calculation in Small Watershed of Zhejiang Province by LAN Xuechun, WANYAN Sheng, ZHANG Zhenqi

“…To verify the applicability of the SWAT model in runoff calculation in small watershed of Zhejiang province,this paper collects daily records for the past 20 years from Wenling meteorological station,topographic map,land use and soil data,and establishes the SWAT model of the Human reservoir by using the SWAT2012 module loaded with Arcgis 10.2 software.In calibration period (1999—2008),R² (correlation coefficient) is 0.89 and E_NS (Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency) is 0.88;in validation period (2009—2018),R² is 0.93 and E_NS is 0.91.With an error of 1.3%,the simulated annual average flow is 0.8 m³/s and the observed flow is 0.79 m³/s,which indicating a high accuracy of the model.The sensitivity test of input parameters shows that the SOL_AWC.sol (available water capacity of soil) and CN2.mgt (runoff coefficient of different land use) are significant to simulated results.The model can be further used for forecasting the flood process and peak flow of Human reservoir,as well as optimizing the reservoir operation scheme and formulating the protection program of water source.…”
