1. Validation and Invariance of the Dental Anxiety Scale in a Brazilian sample
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the properties of the Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) when applied to Brazilian adults and to test its invariance across independent samples and different sociodemographic groups. Sociodemographic data, reports on previous unpleasant dental experiences and DAS responses were collected through telephone interviews. M

2. Aproximação de métricas finitas por métricas arbóreas e aplicações / Approximation of finite metrics by tree metrics and applications
Many optimization problems on graphs, especially metric problems, are easier to solve on trees. Therefore, a strategy for obtaining a good algorithm for certain problems is to obtain a tree that approximates the graph, and use a solution of the problem on the tree as an approximate solution for the problem on the original graph. We study the work of Fakcharo

3. Recuperação de imagens multiescala intervalar / Image retrieval by interval multiscale
We present a general method for content-based image retrieval (CBIR) in large image collections, using multiscale interval distance estimation. We consider specifically queries by example, where the goal is to find the image in the collection that is closest to a given image, according to some image distance function. In this work we do not aim to develop me

4. Algorithms for classification and partitioning in graphs / Algoritmos para problemas de classificação e particionamento em grafos
We present algorithms for combinatorial optimization NP-hard problems on classification and graph partitioning. The thesis concerns about theory and application and is guided by an approximation algorithms approach, complemented with heuristics and integer programming. We proposed good approximation factor algorithms as well as algorithms that find quality s

5. Space isotropy and weak equivalence principle in a scalar theory of gravity
We consider a preferred-frame bimetric theory in which the scalar gravitational field both influences the metric and has direct dynamical effects. A modified version ("v2") is built, by assuming now a locally-isotropic dilation of physically measured distances, as compared with distances evaluated with the Euclidean space metric. The dynamical equations stay

6. Validity of semiclassical gravity in the stochastic gravity approach
In semiclassical gravity the back-reaction of the classical gravitational field interacting with quantum matter fields is described by the semiclassical Einstein equations. A criterion for the validity of semiclassical gravity based on the stability of the solutions of the semiclassical Einstein equations with respect to quantum metric perturbations is discu

7. Set-valued functions / Funções ponto a conjunto
We study a mapping called a set-valued map which associates with each point of a metric space a non empty subset of another metric space. In the case of single-valued maps, contin-uous functions are characterized by two equivalent properties: one in terms of neighborhood and other in terms of sequences. These two properties can be adapted to the case of set-

8. Algoritmos de aproximação para o problema de classificação metrica
In a traditional classification problem, we have a set of n objects and a set of m labels (or classes). We wish to assign one of m labels (or classes) to each one of n objects, in a way that is consistent with some observed data that we have about the problem. In this work we present a study of approximation algorithms for the metric labeling problem. The kn

9. Intervalo de confiança para avaliação de bioequivalencia individual utilizando a medida de Kullback-Leibler
Bioequivalence trials are conducted to show that two formlllations, a reference dmg R and a test T, produces similar bioavailabitity. In Brazil, the introduction of the generic drug started in 1999 and the current analysis of the pharmacokinetics measures for rate and extent of the absorption is the average bioequivalence (ABE) which is not sufficient to gua

10. Topicos de aproximação em espaços normados
In this work we treat some topics of the Approximation Theory in the real normed spaces, such as the existence and uniqueness of the element of best approximation and the continuity of the metric projection. We present examples and counter-examples of sets of existence and Chebyshev sets. We also treat the problem of connectedness of Chebyshev sets in Hilber

11. Theory of deformable substrates for cell motility studies.
Linear theory is used to relate the tractions F applied by a cell to the resulting deformation of fluid, viscoelastic, or solid substrates. The theory is used to fit data in which the motion of a fluid surface in the neighborhood of a motile keratocyte is visualized with the aid of embedded beads. The data are best fit by modeling the surface layer as a two-

12. Effects of Pleiotropy on Predictions concerning Mutation-Selection Balance for Polygenic Traits
Previous mathematical analyses of mutation-selection balance for metric traits assume that selection acts on the relevant loci only through the character(s) under study. Thus, they implicitly assume that all of the relevant mutation and selection parameters are estimable. A more realistic analysis must recognize that many of the pleiotropic effects of loci c
