1. ESTIMATION OF WOOD TOUGHNESS IN BRAZILIAN TROPICAL TREE SPECIES
ABSTRACT Wood has been used for several purposes such as in civil and rural construction. Knowing wood mechanical behavior under short-term loading is essential for safer structural designs. However, wood toughness is a mechanical property little investigated for this purpose. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate, using exponential and polynomial regression mo

2. Bayesian factor analysis for mixed data on management studies
Abstract Purpose Factor analysis is the most used tool in organizational research and its widespread use in scale validations contribute to decision-making in management. However, standard factor analysis is not always applied correctly mainly due to the misuse of ordinal data as interval data and the inadequacy of the former for classical factor analysis.

3. ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS APPLIED IN FOREST BIOMETRICS AND MODELING: STATE OF THE ART (JANUARY/2007 TO JULY/2018)
ABSTRACT Artificial Intelligence has been an important support tool in different spheres of activity, enabling knowledge aggregation, process optimization and the application of methodologies capable of solving complex real problems. Despite focusing on a wide range of successful metrics, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach, a technique similar to t

4. ESTIMATION OF TENSILE STRENGTH PARALLEL TO GRAIN OF WOOD SPECIES
ABSTRACT According to the ABNT NBR 7190: 1997 standard, tensile strength of wood samples shall be defined as the ratio between the ultimate strength from a stress test and the specimen cross-sectional area (350 mm2). However, due to the complex wood anatomy and experimental difficulties, the fractured surface in tested samples are not perpendicular to the lo

5. Isqueiro Pneumático: uma ferramenta versátil ao ensino interdisciplinar
Resumo O isqueiro pneumático é um equipamento que permite produzir fogo por meio de rápida compressão do ar e, quando construído com tubo de acrílico transparente, é possível observar a queima de uma pequena amostra de algodão colocada em seu interior. Por ser um instrumento pouco conhecido e cujo funcionamento chama a atenção vislumbramos seu uso

6. Predicting post-absorptive protein and amino acid metabolism
ABSTRACT Sustainable production of adequate quantities of food to support a growing human population is a worldwide goal. Under current feeding conditions in the United States, dairy cattle convert dietary nitrogen to milk nitrogen with 25% efficiency. The remaining 75% is excreted, which contributes to air and water quality problems and reduces economic per

7. Developing corridor choice model under hypothetical Variable Message Sign based traffic information
Abstract The article presents development of a closed-form corridor choice model under hypothetical variable message sign (VMS) based traffic information. A single VMS board is assumed to display traffic information at a junction of two alternative and competitive traffic corridors connecting two catchment areas in Kolkata city, India. The corridor choice mo

8. Heat transfer analyses using computational fluid dynamics in the air blast freezing of guava pulp in large containers
Heat transfer during the freezing of guava pulp conditioned in large containers such as in stacked boxes (34 L) and buckets (20 L) and unstacked drums (200 L) is discussed. The air velocities across the cross-section of the tunnel were measured, and the values in the outlet of the evaporator were used as the initial conditions in computational fluid dynamics

9. Genomic growth curves of an outbred pig population
In the current post-genomic era, the genetic basis of pig growth can be understood by assessing SNP marker effects and genomic breeding values (GEBV) based on estimates of these growth curve parameters as phenotypes. Although various statistical methods, such as random regression (RR-BLUP) and Bayesian LASSO (BL), have been applied to genomic selection (GS),

10. Construction of nonreciprocal fuzzy preference relations with the use of preference functions
In order to model the preferences of a decision-maker (DM) by means of fuzzy preferencerelations, a DM can utilize different preference formats (such as ordering of the alternatives, utility values, multiplicative preference relations, fuzzy estimates, and reciprocal as well as nonreciprocal fuzzy preference relations) to express his/her judgments. Afterward

11. Uma análise do emprego no setor da construção civil nos estados do nordeste brasileiro: qualidade do emprego formal e o retorno da educação
The Construction Industry has gained prominence on the national scene due to its ability to generate employment, and absorb much of the disqualified labor. On that perspective, this research aims to measure the quality of formal employment and quantify the impact of schooling on income of Construction Industry workers in the states of Northeast Brazil. In or

12. Penetrance rate estimation in autosomal dominant conditions
Accurate estimates of the penetrance rate of autosomal dominant conditions are important, among other issues, for optimizing recurrence risks in genetic counseling. The present work on penetrance rate estimation from pedigree data considers the following situations: 1) estimation of the penetrance rate K (brief review of the method); 2) construction of exact
