13. A simulation model to evaluate the economic consequences of insemination programs in dairy herds: timed artificial insemination and sex-sorted semen
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to develop a simulation model to analyse the technical, economic, and financial performance of using different reproductive strategies in dairy herds. Strategies simulated were: artificial insemination (AI) using conventional semen after oestrus detection (AIC), AI using sex-sorted semen after oestrus detection (AIS),

15. Design of Experiments (DoE) applied to Pharmaceutical and Analytical Quality by Design (QbD)
According to Quality by Design (QbD) concept, quality should be built into product/method during pharmaceutical/analytical development. Usually, there are many input factors that may affect quality of product and methods. Recently, Design of Experiments (DoE) have been widely used to understand the effects of multidimensional and interactions of input factor

16. Prediction of 3D ground reaction forces during gait based on accelerometer data
Abstract Introduction The aim of this study was to predict 3D ground reaction force signals based on accelerometer data during gait, using a feed-forward neural network (MLP). Methods Seventeen healthy subjects were instructed to walk at a self-selected speed with a 3D accelerometer attached to the distal and anterior part of the shank. A force plate was

19. STEPWISE SELECTION OF VARIABLES IN DEA USING CONTRIBUTION LOADS
ABSTRACT In this paper, we propose a new methodology for variable selection in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The methodology is based on an internal measure which evaluates the contribution of each variable in the calculation of the efficiency scores of DMUs. In order to apply the proposed method, an algorithm, known as “ADEA”, was developed and imple

21. A model for multidimensional efficiency analysis of public hospital management
Abstract Introduction Multidimensional efficiency analysis can provide important insights into the performance of hospitals. In this paper, we propose a multidimensional model based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to investigate and compare the efficiency of public hospitals in Brazil. Methods Data from 21 public hospitals were collected from public dat
