1. Optimization of banana bar formulation to provide a nourishing snack for toddlers using response surface methodology
Abstract The development of banana-based snack bars that fulfill the nutritional requirement for toddlers is required. In this study, we analyzed the effects of different concentrations of banana puree, banana flour and potato starch on the characteristics of inulin, dietary fiber, protein, and potassium as well as the hardness of banana bars using response

2. SEWAGE PERFORMANCE OF A NEW TYPE OF FLAP FILTER
ABSTRACT The drainage performance of a mesh filter determines the water consumption degree of the filter and the efficiency of the next work cycle. Through analysis, we found that the influent flow rate and the sediment content of the influent were important influencing factors. This experiment focused on the drainage time, pressure difference, and cleanline

3. Liquid-phase RTD studies in a flotation column: an analysis between tanks-in-series and axial dispersion models
Abstract The objective of the present study is to evaluate the fluid dynamics of a flotation column (2" in diameter and 6 m in height) based on gas hold-up measurements and, in particular, by applying the liquid-phase RTD (residence time distribution) technique. Additionally, a comparative study is performed between different methodologies used to determine

4. FITTING AND CALIBRATING A MIXED-EFFECTS SEGMENTED TAPER MODEL FOR BRUTIAN PINE
ABSTRACT Taper models are one of several necessary tools in modern forest inventory, giving information on diameter at any point along the tree stem and this information can also be used to estimate stem volume. In this study, we used nonlinear mixed-effects (NLME) modeling approach to minimize existing statistical problems in constructing taper equations. A

5. Differentiating irritable mood and disruptive behavior in adults
Abstract Introduction Irritability has both mood and behavioral manifestations. These frequently co-occur, and it is unclear to what extent they are dissociable domains. We used confirmatory factor analysis and external validators to investigate the independence of mood and behavioral components of irritability. Methods The sample comprised 246 patients

6. Hopfield Neural Network-Based Algorithm Applied to Differential Scanning Calorimetry Data for Kinetic Studies in Polymorphic Conversion
A general kinetic equation to simulate differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data was employed along this work. Random noises are used to generate a thousand data, which are considered to evaluate the performance of Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) and a Hopfield neural network (HNN) based algorithm in the fitting process. The HNN-based algorithm showed better res

7. HEIGHT-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIPS FOR Eucalyptus grandis HILL EX. MAIDEN IN MOZAMBIQUE: USING MIXED-EFFECTS MODELING APPROACH
ABSTRACT Equations express that height-diameter relationships are used to estimate tree heights that were not measured in the plots, as well as to calculate their volumes. In this study, we modelled height for Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex. Maiden stands using nonlinear mixed effect models in Mocuba District, Central Mozambique. Models were tested from 1414 tre

8. Belief patterns and drug use in a sample of Brazilian youth: an exploratory latent class analysis
Objective: Adolescent substance abuse is a public health concern worldwide, and its prevention is the subject of numerous programmatic efforts. Yet, little research exists on the structure of drug-related belief patterns in youth and their utility in preventive program planning. The aim of this study is to determine the structure of drug-related beliefs amo

9. Kinetics of Lumefantrine Thermal Decomposition Employing Isoconversional Models and Artificial Neural Network
Thermal analysis can be used to determine shelf-life and kinetic parameters in pharmaceutical systems. This work investigates the kinetic of lumefantrine thermal decomposition, an antimalarial, using non-isothermal and isothermal experimental data. The non-isothermal conditions are analyzed applying Vyazovkin method, while isothermal conditions employ models

10. Selecting “the best” nonstationary Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution: on the influence of different numbers of GEV-models
ABSTRACT The selection of an appropriate nonstationary Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution is frequently based on methods, such as Akaike information criterion (AIC), second-order Akaike information criterion (AICc), Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and likelihood ratio test (LRT). Since these methods compare all GEV-models considered within a s

11. Estimating Poisson pseudo-maximum-likelihood rather than log-linear model of a log-transformed dependent variable
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study is to account for a recent non-mainstream econometric approach using microdata and how it can inform research in business administration. More specifically, the paper draws from the applied microeconometric literature stances in favor of fitting Poisson regression with robust standard errors rather than the OLS lin

12. INITIAL GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF VALUABLE TIMBER SPECIES IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL: Araucaria Angustifolia, Balfourodendron Riedelianum, AND Parapiptadenia Rígida
RESUMO Foi avaliado o crescimento inicial de três espécies madeireiras nativas do Brasil - Araucaria angustifolia, Balfourodendron riedelianum e Parapiptadenia rigida - em Dois Vizinhos - PR, Brasil, usando quatro modelos matemáticos não lineares (Gompertz, Logistic, Logistic 4P e Chapman-Richards). Ao longo dos quatro anos iniciais após plantio, inform
