Correlation analysis, ANOVA, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and post-hoc Tukey&#39;s HSD tests were applied for statistical evaluation of obtained results.<br />The Tukey‟s tests have been evaluated for comparison between toxic elements content in wheat kernel samples within each of used experimental methods, and statistically significant difference has been found in almost all samples, at significance level, p&lt;0.05, 95% confidence limit. ANOVA test and F-test for Mn content (F=3000.6) showed a more influential varianble in comparison with other elements, meaning that samples taken in different locations differ significantly due to Mn influence. As for Fe and Zn, F is 1609.0 and 2773.4 respectively. These findings confirm that Mn, Fe and Zn assays are more accurate compared to other applied assays. According to ANOVA and F-test at p&lt;0.01 level, 95% confidence limit used for toxic elements content analysis in soil, it was found that Mn content (F=78640.0) was a more influential variable for final result, followed by Zn (F=2885.4) or Fe (F=2699.02). Pearson table shows correlation between chemical elements in wheat grain compared to the content of analyzed elements in soil. It was found that there is correlation between Cd content in wheat and soil (0,494), which indicates that this element entered the wheat via the soil. The results show that the concentrations of tested elements are the highest n peripheral parts of the grain, i.e. in the bran, which is especially significant for production of bread with added bran. Pastry products are consumed on a daily basis, which makes them suitable to compensate for fiber deficiency in food. Being rich in dietary fibers, wheat bran is used in bread and pastry production; therefore, monitoring of the content of toxic elements in both flour and bran is required to ensure production of safe and healthy food and to prevent them from entering the food chain.</p>

Mikroelementai – tai tokie elementai, kurie organizmui yra reikalingi miligraminiais ir mikrograminiais kiekiais. Šių medžiagų disbalansas organizme sutrikdo normalias organizmo funkcijas. Galvijai ypač jautrūs mikroelementų trūkumui. Šių mineralinių medžiagų stoka organizme pasireiškia kailio pakitimais, odos žaizdomis, nagų opomis, mastitais, metritais, nevaisingumu ir kitais organizmo funkcijų sutrikimais. Visą tai sumažina bandos naudingumą, dėl to gyvulių augintojai patiria didelių ekonominių nuostolių. Norint užtikrinti galvijų sveikatingumą ir pagerinti eksploatacines savybes, reikia įvertinti visus veiksnius, sąlygojančius mikroelementų kiekio kaitą galvijo organizme. Tam reikia įvertinti mineralinių medžiagų kiekį dirvožemyje, pašaruose, vandenyje ir atsižvelgti į organizmo sveikatos būklę, produktyvumą, amžių, veislę, klimato sąlygas. Mikroelementų trūkumas paplitęs visame pasaulyje. Intensyvi žemdirbystė, įvairių trąšų, pesticidų ir herbicidų naudojimas pakeičia dirvožemio ir jame augančių augalų biochemines savybes, o tuo pačiu tai įtakoja mikroelementų kiekio dinamiką organizme. Su pašarais naudojamų mineralinių priedų poveikis organizmui skiriasi, priklausomai nuo jų cheminės formos, mikroelementų balanso ir sudėties. Literatūroje daugiausia duomenų randama apie makroelementus ir jų biologinę reikšmę galvijų organizmui. Duomenų apie mikroelementų kiekio kaitą galvijo organizme, Lietuvoje, trūksta.

Any imbalance of these substances in the body disturbs normal body function. Cattle are especially vulnerable to deficiency of microelements. The lack of minerals in the body is evidenced by changes of coat, skin wounds, nail ulcers, mastitis, metritis, infertility and other disorders of the body function. All these factors reduce the utility of herd, and cattle breeders are experiencing severe economic losses. To ensure the health of cattle and to improve features of exploitation, it is necessary to evaluate all factors, that determine the change of microelements’ level in the animal body. This requires evaluation of microelements in soil, fodder and water. A well in order to determine microelements’ level in the body, it is necessary to consider the condition of health of the cattle, their productivity, age, breed and climate conditions. Deficiency of microelements is spread worldwide. Intensive farming, use of various fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides exhausts the soil and modifies biochemical features of the soil and plants growing in it, and at the same time it modifies microelements’ level in the body. Effect of mineral additives that are used along with the fodder on the body varies depending on their chemical form, balance and composition of microelements. Most of the data, found in the literature, is about the macro elements and their biological... [to full text]

The aim of the diploma thesis is to evaluate the content parameters of a selected group of macro and micro-elements in wheat seed (Triticum aestivum) within a group of varieties (Elixer, Vanessa, Tobak, Bombus) for feed use. Grain samples obtained in an experiment conducted within the company Rabbit Trhový Štěpánov a.s. on three different sites. In addition to the analysis of the selected group of grain qualitative parameters, the yield parameters (number of plants and cobs per area and harvested grain volume per unit area) were also evaluated. The introductory part of the thesis focuses on general information on wheat, its importance and its use. Another part of the literary research focuses on the chemical composition of the grain, the quality of the wheat and the factors affecting the quality of the wheat. The most important and most extensive part of literary research focuses on general information on minerals and their importance in animal nutrition. The methodology of the work includes the presentation of Holding Rabbit Trhový Štěpánov a.s., characteristics of the varieties and habitats on which the experiment was carried out. Furthermore, of course, it contains the soil and climatic characteristics of the sites and methods used to obtain the assessed data. The final part of the work is devoted to the results, the discussion and the conclusion in which the achieved results are evaluated and compared. It should be added that the data were obtained in the framework of the experiment in close cooperation with Rabbit Trhový Štěpánov a.s. and the level of selected elements in the grain was determined in a certified laboratory according to standardized methodologies and standard operating procedures.

Neste estudo foi determinado o conteúdo de metais em adoçantes dietéticos de mesa, consumidos por um número crescente de pessoas preocupadas em manter a forma física e restringir o nível calórico da dieta havendo ou não recomendação médica. Foram coletadas 26 amostras de adoçantes dietéticos distribuídos no mercado de São Paulo, em uma grande variedade de apresentações, produtos, composições e marcas. Como a composição é dependente da produção, esta análise é indispensável ao controle da qualidade e relevante à saúde do consumidor. A Espectrometria de Emissão Óptica com Fonte de Plasma Indutivamente Acoplado (ICP OES) com vista axial, mostrou-se adequada determinação dos macronutrientes Na, K, Ca, Mg e dos microelementos essenciais Fe, Cu, Zn, Cr, Mn e Se, dos potencialmente tóxicos AI, Ni, As, Cd e Pb em adoçantes sólidos e líquidos, atendendo as exigências da legislação brasileira. Assim, foi realizado um estudo comparativo entre as determinações utilizando as metodologias clássicas de pré-tratamento da amostra, como o resíduo de cinzas, a dissolução ácida com aquecimento por microondas com o procedimento sem tratamento prévio das amostras, visando facilitar a análise, uma vez que esta é a etapa que mais consome tempo e esforços. A determinação simultânea do espectro favoreceu a análise, uma vez que 74 comprimentos de onda puderam ser selecionados sem aumento no tempo ou no custo de análise, auxiliando na seleção de 36 linhas analíticas mais adequadas (livre de interferências) à determinação sem tratamento prévio da amostra. Nenhuma amostra de adoçante excedeu o valor recomendado para o somatório dos contaminantes inorgânicos (Aspartame < 10 &#181;g g-1 e Sacarina < 20 &#181;g g-1). No entanto, 6 marcas de adoçantes em pó excederam o valor limite da legislação para As (1,0 &#181;g g-1), excederam o valor para Cr total (0,1 &#181;g g-1) e 2 marcas de adoçante líquido excederam o valor para Ni (0,1 &#181;g g-1). Mostrando que os adoçantes em pó apresentam (&#8776;5 &#181;g g-1) níveis maiores de metais potencialmente tóxicos que os adoçantes líquidos (&#8776;2,O &#181;g mL-1). / The metal content in artificial sweetener usually consumed by a growing population concerned to keep body shape and to restrict the diet caloric content, by medical recommendation or not, was measured. The samples were 26 artificial sweeteners available at São Paulo\'s market, under different forms, and several suppliers, with various sweetener composition, and brands. Because the composition depends on manufacture factors, this analysis is mandatory for quality control and relevant for the user health. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission with axial view has demonstrated to be an appropriated technique to determine the macronutrient content, such as Na, K, Ca, Mg and essential microelements such as Fe, Cu, Zn, Cr, Mn and Se, besides the potentially toxic elements such as AI, Ni, As, Cd and Pb in solid and liquid sweeteners in accordance with to the Brazilian regulation. It was also performed a comparative study of the sample preparation methodology, using classical sample pretreatment, such as burning to ashes, and acid dissolution with microwave heating and a procedure without prior sample treatment (dissolution and/or convenient dilution), aiming at facilitating the analysis of dietetic sweetener because this step is the most time and labor consuming. The analysis was simplified using the simultaneous spectra acquisition, once 74 wavelengths were selected without time or cost increase, and helping the identification of 36 appropriate analytical lines (free from interferences) to apply to the samples determination without prior treatment. None sweetener exceeded the recommended value of inorganic contaminant (for aspartame samples the value was below 10 &#181;g g-1 and for saccharine samples that was below 20 &#181;g g-1). However, 6 brands of artificial sweetener in powder exceeded the legislation limit value for As (1.0 &#181;g g-1), and other 7 brands exceeded the Cr recommended maximum value (0.1 &#181;g g-1). Other 2 brands of Iiquid sweetener exceeded the Ni recommended maximum value. Therefore, for ali samples, the artificial sweetener in powder presented higher levels of potentially toxic metais (&#8776;5&#181;g g-1) than those in a Iiquid presentation (&#8776;2.0 &#181;g mL-1).

No. of bitstreams: 1 Allan Vieira dos Santos Marques.pdf: 717930 bytes, checksum: aa978139a85c2cfa9f5a7df5d8379ad4 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-02-26 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / The aim of this research was to know serum and liver concentrations of Cu, Mo, Fe and Zn in sheep and goats slaughtered in the semiarid region of the state of Pernambuco, Northeastern Brazil, during the rainy and dry seasons, and to determine if Cu deficiency that occurs in the region is primary or secondary to high levels of Mo and/or Fe. Serum and liver samples from 141 goats and 141 sheep were submitted to wet digestion in nitric-percloric acid and analyzed by coupled plasma atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The mean concentration of serum Cu in sheep was 9.22±2.34 μmol/L in the dry period and 10.03±2.89 μmol/L in the rainy period, but females had significantly higher values (10.92±2.56 μmol/L) than males (9.42±2.67 μmol/L). Mean Cu concentrations in the liver were 185.1±88.28 mg per kg of dry matter (mg/kg) in the dry period and 137.95±87.04 mg/kg in the rainy period, and females had significantly higher concentrations (218.61±93.49 mg/kg) than males (133.45±92.37 mg/kg). In goats serum concentrations of Cu were of 11.74±2.36 μmol/L in the dry period and 11.05±2.74 μmol/L in the rainy period, and females (12.10±2.67 μmol/L) had higher concentrations than males (10.14±1.80 μmol/L). Liver concentrations were 155.2±93.40 mg/kg in the dry period and of 149.37±62.33 mg/kg in the rainy period. Mean serum concentrations of Cu in sheep (9.85±2.71 μmol/L) were significantlyt lower than in goats (11.37±2.57 μmol/L), but there were no differences in liver concentrations of Cu between sheep (158.45±83.05 mg/kg) and goats (152.46±79.58 mg/kg). Based in Cu serum and liver concentrations, and in the sporadic occurrence of enzootic ataxia, Cu suplementation is recommended in grazing sheep and goats during the dry and the rainy seasons. In sheep, serum concentrations of Fe were 36.99±15 μmol/L in the dry season and 34.52±14.86 μmol/L in the rainy season, with significant differences between females (29.92±11.06 μmol/L) and males (37.85±15.68 μmol/L). Liver Fe concentrations were significantly lower in the dry season (186.20±30.02 mg/kg) than in the rainy season (229.25±83.15 mg/kg), with no differences between females and males. In goats, serum concentrations of Fe were 25.61±9.35 μmol/L in the dry season and 24.57±6.96 μmol/L in the rainy season, and liver concentrations were of 170.52±56.91 mg/kg in the dry season and 139.73±51.30 mg/kg in the rainy season; there were no significant differences between females and males. Serum levels of Fe were significantly higher in sheep (35.58±14.89 μmol/L) than in goats (25.06±8.10 μmol/L). Also Fe concentrations of the liver were higher in sheep (210.53±121.99 mg/kg) than in goats (156.1±55.99 mg/kg). Considering that serum and hepatic concentrations of Fe are between normal ranges or marginal it is suggested that the low Cu concentrations are not related with high Fe ingestion. In sheep serum concentrations of Mo were 0.33±0.18 μmol/L in the dry season and 0.3±0.15 μmol/L in the rainy season and liver concentrations were 8.27±3.97 in the dry season and 7.96±4.07 in the rainy season. In goats, serum concentrations of Mo were 0.31±0.12 μmol/L in the dry season and 0.26±0.10 μmol/L in the rainy season, and liver concentrations were 7.17±4.09 mg/kg in the dry season and 5.8±4.14 mg/kg in the rainy season. There were no significant differences in serum and liver Mo concentrations between sheep and goats and between males and females. Despite the variations found in this study and also in reference values, it is suggested that the low or marginal Cu concentrations are not due to high Mo intake. In sheep serum concentrations of Zn were significantly lower during the dry season (9.79±3.02 μmol/L) than in the rainy season (13.48±7.22 μmol/L). Also Zn concentrations in the liver were significantly lower in the dry season (109.96±30.23 mg/kg) than in rainy season (139.1±60.45 mg/kg). In goats, serum Zn concentrations were 12.01±9.61 μmol/L in the dry season and 11.6±4.93 μmol/L in the rainy season, and liver concentrations were 134.2±26.58 mg/kg in the dry season and 131.45±76.55 mg/kg in the rainy season. There were no significant differences between serum and liver concentrations of Zn between sheep and goats or between males and females. Taking into account that serum and liver Zn concentrations in sheep and goats are considered marginal, supplementation with this mineral it suggested in grazing sheep and goats, mainly during the dry season. / Objetivou-se conhecer os teores de Cu, Mo, Fe e Zn em soro e fígado de ovinos e caprinos, nas épocas de chuva e seca, criadas no semi-árido do estado de Pernambuco, e estabelecer se a carência de Cu é causada por deficiência primária de Cu ou secundária à ingestão de quantidades excessivas de Fe ou Mo. Amostras de soro e fígado de 141 ovinos e 141 caprinos foram submetidas à digestão úmida em ácido nítrico-perclórico e analisados em espectrofotômetro de absorção atômica acoplado a plasma. A concentração sérica média de Cu em ovinos foi de 9,22±2,34 μmol/L na seca e 10,03±2,89 μmol/L na chuva, sendo que as fêmeas tiveram valores significativamente maiores (10,92±2,56 μmol/L) do que os machos (9,42±2,67 μmol/L). Os valores de Cu em fígado foram de 185,1±88,28 mg/kg da MS na seca e 137,95±87,04 mg/kg na chuva e as fêmeas tiveram valores significativamente maiores (218,61±93,49 mg/kg) do que os machos (133,45±92,37 mg/kg). Em caprinos os valores séricos de Cu foram de 11,74±2,36 μmol/L na seca e 11,05±2,74 μmol/L na chuva, sendo que as fêmeas tiveram maiores valores (12,10±2,67 μmol/L) que os machos (10,14±1,80 μmol/L). Os teores do fígado foram de 155,2±93,40 mg/kg na seca e 149,37±62,33 mg/kg na chuva. Os teores séricos de cobre em ovinos foram significativamente menores que o dos caprinos, mas não se observaram diferenças nos teores hepáticos de Cu entre ovinos e caprinos. Baseado nesses valores, considerados marginais, e na ocorrência de surtos de ataxia enzoótica em caprinos e ovinos na região, recomenda-se a suplementação com Cu, em animais a campo, tanto na seca quanto na chuva. Os teores séricos de Fe em ovinos foram de 36,99±15 μmol/L na seca e de 34,52±14,86 μmol/L na chuva, diferindo entre fêmeas (29,92±11,06 μmol/L) e machos (37,85±15,68 μmol/L). Os teores do fígado foram significativamente menores na seca (186,20±30,02 mg/kg) do que na chuva (229,25±83,15 mg/kg), não havendo diferenças entre machos e fêmeas. Em caprinos os teores séricos de Fe foram de 25,61±9,35 μmol/L na seca e de 24,57±6,96 μmol/L na chuva e os teores do fígado de 170,52±56,91 mg/kg na seca e de 139,73±51,30 mg/kg na chuva. Nesta espécie não houve diferenças nos teores séricos e hepáticos de Fe entre machos e fêmeas. Os teores séricos e hepáticos de Fe foram significativamente maiores em ovinos do que em caprinos. Considerando que as concentrações séricas e hepáticas de Fe encontram-se dentro da normalidade ou são marginais sugere-se que as concentrações marginais de Cu não estejam diretamente relacionadas com o excesso de Fe. Os teores séricos de Mo em ovinos foram de 0,33±0,18 μmol/L na seca e 0,3±0,15 μmol/L na chuva e os teores no fígado de 8,27±3,97 na seca e 7,96±4,07 na chuva. Os teores séricos de Mo em caprinos foram de 0,31±0,12 μmol/L na seca e de 0,26±0,10 μmol/L na chuva e os do fígado de 7,17±4,09 mg/kg na seca e 5,8±4,14 mg/kg na chuva. Os teores médios de Mo de soro e fígado em ovinos, 0,31±0,17 μmol/L e 8,10±4,01 mg/kg, respectivamente, foram semelhantes aos teores séricos e hepáticos de caprinos, de 0,28±0,11 μmol/L e 6,53±4,13 mg/kg, respectivamente. Tanto em ovinos quanto em caprinos não houve diferenças significantes nos teores do soro e fígado entre machos e fêmeas. Apesar das variações encontradas tanto neste trabalho quanto nos dados da literatura os resultados sugerem que os teores marginais de Cu não são devidos a teores altos de Mo. Em ovinos os valores de Zn no soro foram significativamente diferentes na seca (9,79±3,02 μmol/L) do que na chuva (13,48±7,22 μmol/L). No fígado os valores de Zn foram, também, significativamente diferentes na seca (109,96±30,23 mg/kg) do que na chuva (139,1±60,45 mg/kg). Em caprinos os teores de Zn no soro foram de 12,01±9,61 μmol/L na seca e 11,6±4,93 μmol/L na chuva e os do fígado foram de 134,2±26,58 mg/kg na seca e 131,45±76,55 mg/kg na chuva. Os teores séricos e hepáticos de Zn foram semelhantes em caprinos e ovinos. Considerando que os teores de Zn sérico encontram-se abaixo dos valores considerados como marginais e os hepáticos dentro do limite de normalidade, embora próximos ao limite inferior da referência, recomenda-se a suplementação com Zn, principalmente durante o período da seca.

Os elementos ópticos difrativos representam um mercado em franco crescimento, da ordem de bilhões de dólares. Seu uso ostensivo está nos microeletrônicos, sistemas de iluminação, telecomunicações, equipamentos de segurança e outros. Por isso, esta tese teve como objetivo realizar investigação pública profunda no assunto. Insertos de cobre eletrolítico foram usados por proporcionar excelente acabamento superficial quando usinados com ferramenta de diamante monocristalino obtendo valores de Ra = 10,2 nm, Rq = 13,56 e Rt = 363,06 µm e para o aço inoxidável polido os resultados foram de Ra = 7,02 nm, Rq = 9,05 nm e Rt = 225,19 nm. As réplicas foram construídas em PMMA - DH ECL P com transmitância da luz avaliada em aproximadamente 90% em todo o espectro visível e infravermelho. Foram produzidos sete tipos de microelementos ópticos difrativos, baseados na geometria de Fresnel e nos arranjos de microlentes esféricas. Foi necessário desenvolver o código computacional denominado LF2010 para auxiliar a construção do projeto das microlentes anesféricas de Fresnel e calcular sua modulação de fase. Quatro processos determinísticos na fabricação dos µEODs foram usados: torneamento de ultraprecisão com ferramenta de diamante, microforjamento, microfresamento e a combinação dos dois últimos. O método estocástico de polimento foi usado para gerar acabamento óptico e compará-lo ao torneamento com SPDT. As análises metrológicas qualitativas e dimensionais foram conduzidas com o uso do MEV e da perfilometria óptica. No torneamento de ultraprecisão com ferramenta de diamante foi comprovada a presença do fenômeno conhecido como \"stick slip\" nos degraus da zona de Fresnel, corrigidos alterando-se o projeto. Para os arranjos de empacotamento completo os valores da rugosidade foram mais elevados em função da interatividade das lentes adjacentes do conjunto com \'fi\' = 100%, chegando até mesmo a causar microfraturas na estrutura das microlentes. Após sucessivos processos de calibragem, foram manufaturadas as réplicas pelas técnicas de termomoldagem e moldagem por injeção. Os resultados de replicação das microlentes mostraram que a razão de aspecto e a relação superfície/volume influenciaram significativamente na fidelidade de replicação das microlentes, sendo constatado que as lentes de Fresnel com altura variável possuem maior volume em relação às de altura constante e, consequentemente, melhor fidelidade na replicação. Na termomoldagem, as variações nas dimensões das cristas foram de nanômetros e a fidelidade no processo foi de aproximadamente 100% para todas as zonas de Fresnel. Nesta técnica, porém, os tempos de ciclos são até 40 vezes maiores que os da moldagem por injeção. As investigações paraxiais de FTM para a microlente de Fresnel com altura variável convexa foram de 85,2 % para 25 lp/mm, 67,5% para 50 lp/mm e 71,2% para 75 lp/mm. A simulação por elementos finitos foi usada para auxiliar nos estudos conferindo a sensibilidade do método de cálculo numérico do simulador nas escalas macroscópicas e microscópicas. No final, investigado o desgaste da aresta de corte da ferramenta, verificou-se o desgaste de flanco e a formação da APC, constituída de partículas do cavaco de cobre com formação lamelar. Conclui-se que é possível reproduzir diversos tipos de µEODs com métodos de produção em massa da moldagem por injeção tomando-se cuidado com as variáveis do processo, geometria da peça e propriedades físicas e químicas do material a ser replicado. / Diffractive optical elements represent a fast growing market, in order of billions dollars. Its use is employed in microelectronics, illumination systems, telecommunications, security devices, and others. For this reason, this thesis aimed to make depth public research in the subject. Electrolytic copper inserts were used for providing excellent surface finish when machined with monocrystalline diamond tool getting values of Ra = 10,2 nm, Rq = 13,56 e Rt = 363,06 µm, for the polished stainless steel the results were Ra = 7,02 nm, Rq = 9,05 nm e Rt = 225,19 nm. The replicas were built in PMMA - DH ECL P with light transmittance approximately 90% for visible and infrared spectrum. Seven types of diffractive optical microelements were produced, based in Fresnel geometry and spherical microlens array. For this, it was necessary to develop the computer code called LF2010 to support the construction design of aspheric Fresnel microlenses and calculate its phase transformation function. Four deterministic manufacturing processes of µDOEs were used: ultraprecision diamond turning, microforging, micromilling and the combination of the two last. Stochastic method of polishing was used to obtain mirror surface roughness and compare to SPDT. The qualitative analysis and dimensional metrology were conducted using MEV and optical profiling system respectively. In ultraprecision diamond turning has proved the presence of the phenomenon known as stick slip on the steps of Fresnel zone that was corrected by changing the design. For complete packaging arrays the roughness values were higher due the interaction of adjacent lenses of set with \'fi\' = 100% have even cause microfractures in the structure of microlenses. After successive calibration procedures in the manufacture of copper inserts, replicas were fabricated by techniques of hot emboss and injection molding. The results of microlenses replication showed that the aspect ratio and surface/volume ratio affected the fidelity replication of microlenses, and had been noted that the Fresnel lenses with variable height have higher volume in relation to constant height and consequently better fidelity in replication. Hot emboss process show little variations in the dimensions of the crests, in order of few nanometers, resulting a fidelity approximately 100% for all zones of Fresnel, however the cycle\'s technique are up to 40 times higher than injection molding. The paraxial FTM analysis shows 85,2% for 25 lp/mm, 67,5% for 50 lp/mm and 71,2% for 75 lp/mm to convex Fresnel microlens with variable height. Finite element analysis was used to aid in the studies giving the sensitivity of numerical method adopted in terms of macroscale and microscale. In the end, the wear of edge cutting tool was investigated and found wear flank and formation of built up edge that was made up of chip particles of copper, witch were formed continuously with segmented structure lamellar. Hence, after numerous studies and analysis we can conclude that it is possible to construct µDOEs by means of mass production methods of injection molding taking care of process variables, part geometry and physical and chemical properties of material being replicated.
